Checks all my boxes. They charge the $15 shipping even for store pickup.

Thanks!

How does this compare to the HP Pavilion? https://www.costco.com/hp-pavilio...52574.html

I bought this for my son's birthday on Sunday for his high school work. Not opened yet. Is it worth switching with this Acer?

Honestly it's not enough of an upgrade to make it worth it to me personally they both offer charging via USB which is the big plus (an external battery can keep it going when the internal battery no longer holds enough of a charge for long sessions) with the same memory and hard drive the only real difference is the i7 versus the i5 and in real world uses they're pretty close to identical.

Is it just me or does this seem like a pretty excellent deal. I'm not familiar/confident in Acer as a brand (had a work Acer Chromebook a long time ago that had that was the worst. The thing felt like a disposable computer. Screen was trash, the thing creakes/bent with every movement, etc)...

But on paper this sounds good. 12th gen i7, 16GB ram, 512 ssd, thunderbolt, backlit keyboard, WiFi 6. Only bad parts are no graphics card and the fact that it's touchscreen

Edit: debating between this and the 15" Gigabyte laptop from Best buy forb$550. Any thoughts?

Between this and another Acer [costco.com] w/12th Gen i7-1260P / RTX 2050 graphics / (2560 x 1440) IPS for $700 + 15sh ?

Sounds like it's worth the + $135 difference?

Can you upgrade Ram or HD in Acer or HP? How is the brightness on these PCs?

I got Gigabyte (beeing shipped), I think it has better specs (gpu) and I don't need touch screen.

The Dell is smaller - 14in, and has a 360 hinge, which I personally find useful on airplanes. So, it's a bit more portable.

On the other hand, the Acer has a newer, higher level CPU, double the RAM and double the SSD size for only $65 more. That makes the Acer a no-brainer in my book.
