This'll be my first time doing so, and I'll be sending in a 2 in 1 dell as well. Looks like they use the BIOS date.

https://costcotradein.com/tradein...ort#faq-21

Not sure how old your Trade-in device is or what processor it has? We have some handy tips to help you find this information below. Simply select your Trade-in device's operating system and follow the steps:
Windows Laptop
If your Trade-in unit is a Windows Laptop, follow these steps:
Press the Windows key on your keyboard
Start typing System
Select System Information.
Here you will see the BIOS date, which shows the age of your laptop, as well as the Processor.
If the Windows key is not available on your keyboard, simply right-click the Windows icon located on the bottom-left corner of your screen using your mouse and choose System

It's a little bit confusing, but the page you checked are for the current products that have the trade-in promotion. The laptop requirements that qualify for trade-in are more generalized. Please check the link below instead.

I stay away from any laptop with recognized hinge issues. I've bought two over the past few years that were used carefully, even left open on a desk for 95% of usage just to avoid potential hinge issues, yet all it took was one fateful open/close to break the weak hinge connections. On the other hand, I have a 6 year old Dell 5000 series 2 in 1 that hasnt been babied at all, and not a single issue, with no reports of wide spread hnge issues either. Take the warnings as real, or you might be the next person commenting on these threads about it.

FWIW...I bought overpriced accident/damage protection warranties from the manufacturers before my 1 year original warranty was up, and used that to fix the hinge and immediately sold them after and replaced with laptops that didn't have the issue. Manufacturers (particularly Dell and Lenovo, even bought through Costco) will NOT honor a warranty repair for hinge issues, always claiming it as accident damage and not a manufacturer defect.

"Once your claim has been approved, we'll send you full instructions for sending your old device over to us for trade-in".

How does one begin a claim btw?

Mail in trade. Good luck.
This $100 new laptop should do the trick.

If you can the deal at $600 net, it's still a decent deal for the processor, 16GB and screen upgrade.

How crazy Smilie Literally almost 7 years on the dot!

They go by bios date, so if that's 10/12/2015, then I would give them a call and get clarification on this one.

Yes but 8gb ram would cost about additional $70?
Not like the ram is upgradeable. So either settle with 8gb or pay extra for 16gb

It will cost you $500 because you will need to buy a new one. These models don't have upgradable RAM.

I think my pool of purchasable laptops are getting smaller every day. I was recently looking at this thread about Dell latitude MB frying up. I mean other than Dell and Lenovo, (and Acer which I find quality to be poor) I guess I can look at HP for the last major manufacturer.

Also check your Chase card 20% offer is still good for best buy. Question I do not have the debit card number and offer is on my checking account. If I add checking account to paypal will it trigger by using chase bank as payment? Any other ways?

I am about to return this flex 5 laptop. The screen has really bad screen door effect.
Thanks for sharing. I never realized that the "screen door effect" was a problem on OLED screens, but I did some quick googling and it is indeed a problem, particularly on these OLED touch panels.

Got this last year's deal for 650 from Costco. Shipping and handling were good from Costco but it is a cheap build, with low brightness, hinge looses after 1-year use, and no pen, biggest frustrations is it chose not to lit up 50% of the time when ON , the laptop is ON but screen is blank and have to long press power button and hard reset///// do not but an snd waste yur money
