EDIT: dunno who is downvoting, but ya'll dumb to buy this. You can get an equivalent Dell with 12th gen Intel + 3070 for $1734 https://www.dell.com/en-us/member...8d406e
I'm not even saying to buy the Dell.. just don't buy this Legion at $1900. Best Buy literally has an ASUS that is equivalent to this Legion in stock right now for $1649:

The items you linked are definitely not equivalent. For the Legion, what you're getting is good case with good airflow, mesh front, rgb, and non-oem MB. You also get a 1TB nvme, and dual channel ram (4 dimms supposedly). On top of that, you get a gold rated psu and an unlocked cpu with cooling that actually allows you to overclock without thermal throttling straight out of the box.
The legion a solid choice for those of us looking to buy a gaming PC and not need to spend another $200-500 on upgrades.
I would personally prefer an RTX3080, but good luck finding one. If you already have a GPU, then build a custom. I'll make a decision if I'm buying this by next payday, if it's not sold out.

Add all this up and you're paying $250 for the extra 500GB of NVMe SSD. The Lenovo is not a deal. Maybe people prefer Lenovo, or the aesthetics, or just prefer buying from Costco, all these things are fine. But this PC not a deal.

The Costco Legion has 32GB DDR4 (4-DIMMs) whereas Asus is 16gb( only1stick)<< based on review
The Legion has more fans for cooling (3front and 2top)... The asus one has only 1 extra fan in back..
The Legion in picture looks like it might have CPU liquid cooling but not sure?? (based on the picture on costco)
Legion also has 1TB nvme already mentioned
There's two Asus model on bestbuy site, the other model with almost exact config has a lot of review...and a lot of reviews mention bad cooling of CPU. SKU#6455823
Does buying PC from costco still give you free 2 additional years of warranty? If so this is a consideration also.

As for the airflow, this has full vented mesh front and top vs restricted front like most prebuilts. So yeah, you can quantify it.
I get why you're not saying this is a deal, normally I would agree with you. It's still a deal, just not a burning hot deal.

The ASUS has the F SKU, which is no iGPU, however it does have the HDMI/DP output on the motherboard. I took the i7-11700F that came with the ASUS, sold it in favor of a i5-11400 (with iGPU) and now I have video outputs from the motherboard. Can't do this with the Lenovo.
