Thanks to Community Member Suryasis for finding this deal.
Check reviews. While the Ryzen processor is a beast. The computer hardware limits it to 15 watts severely limiting performance in this configuration.
This is by far the cheapest price, almost $120 cheaper than the last FP deal.
Soldered non-replaceable RAM (not a big issue for 16GB)
43 Wh battery, which is well below average, clearly sacrificed for lazy weight reduction. The LG gram packs 72Wh in the same form factor and weight because they actually put effort into engineering.
Great multithread performance for the size, double what Intel based TGL-U offers, but trailing 10-20% in single thread.
Mostly negative customer reviews though.
No thunderbolt (AMD) or dedicated RJ45 (rare for this class though)
If you ditch the barrel charger and use USB-C, you end up with only one USB port available, and it has a moving receptacle which makes it prone to failure.. Not ideal at all.
Notebookcheck review says the realtek wifi NIC is pretty bad, 661 Mbit/s compared while Intel NIC's on similar devices are essentially 1000-1400 Mbit/s
This is like the poor mans LG Gram, half the battery life, half the customer review ratings, half the price. There are other laptops in this price and form factor category with more I/O, battery life, etc but none are perfect.

Ive done a side by side spec comparison, but not sure which differences make one a better deal over the other. Heres what Ive noticed.
Costco one:
15.6" screen
250 nits
No backlit keyboard.
Costco has better return policy?
Has touchscreen
HP:
13.3" screen
400 nits
Backlit keyboard
Bo touchacreen
The smaller HP has the MUCH better screen if you don't need to paw at it. It's also extremely portable if that's important. Power-wise, they'll be similar in most use cases with Zen 2 Ryzen 7 and Zen 3 Ryzen 5. Both good deals, but neither is going to be top-end build quality
Looking for a non-techie friend. Thinking the base configuration is best. They won't care about a high-res screen, and 256GB will likely last them a looooong time. Ah - I see $20 gets the backlit keyboard.

Edit: Looks like 2280 from Notebookcheck. Shame it's not 2230.

I'd rather have a tried and true Windows 10 with the option to upgrade when I wanted to.
PS: Dang. HP gives no discounts for students/military like Lenovo or Samsung… nor does it allow trades like Samsung. Bummer.
PSS: I'll stick with my Samsung Flex2 Alpha for $491shipped. (1165G7, 16gb ram, 512gb, 13.3" 1080p QLED touchscreen up to 600nits)
you can also choose a different color (i like white) which comes with backlit keyboard for same price $20
