This was advertised in the Costco Coupon book as $1,199.99 ($400 off $1,599.99). Their website price dropped $100 since the preview came out, dropping this to $1,099.99 with the $400.00 off. $9.99 shipping if buying online. Warehouse should have it for the same price without shipping.
Common answers:
- RAM is soldered and not upgradable
- Two NVME slots (I believe one may need a special size to fit)
- Fingerprint reader is gone for this year and replaced with Windows Hello capable camera
- 12th gen intel seems to have gotten a good performance bump over 11th gen but there was no improvement for battery life (maybe a slight decrease).

SSD can be replaced though. (M.2 2280 NVMe)
This is the best trackpad I've used on a PC. Huge and very responsive. I still think MacBooks have the edge on their trackpads, but this is close.

I bought a Lenovo LEGION Y520 @ Costco about 5 years ago ( wow time flies ) and it works for my needs. But, I don't expect it to last forever, and would prefer to get a new machine when/how I want, not because I have to...
How future proof is this LG build? The 16gb RAM is a step backwards... I put 32 in my legion. But the 5 generation newer i7 probably makes up for it plus some?
First impressions are good. display is really nice. Speed is adequate for what I'm doing..
I was concerned jumping from the 15" referenced above to a 17"... was really just wanting a lighter machine and didn't want to go bigger... Ironically, the length and width of this is the same as my 15". Just 1/3 the depth and a fraction the weight.
All in all satisfied after playing around for 6hrs or so.

Obviously a lot of other people are also having fan issues similar to yours so I wonder if it's a case of some variance in the heatsink effectiveness (or whatever) from unit to unit.
Multi core: 4818 pts
Single core: 1187 pts
If someone could post the results of the same benchmark for the 1260P version here, we might be able to objectively see whether it indeed throttles more.
Wish these didn't have soldered ram. For the work I need it for, 32gb ram would be the minimum. At $1600 I may have to wait a lil longer.

The real test will be using this full time, daily to work abroad...fingers crossed, but I'm digging it so far
