Costco one has:
- need Costco membership
- $20 more
- 8c / 16t processor (more powerful and efficient)
- touchscreen (glossy)
- 250 nits screen
Amazon one has:
- 4c / 8t processor (still powerful, but hotter)
- brighter screen (300 nits)
- matte screen (less reflective)
- Climate Pledge Friendly - Made with recycled plastics and have super cool reversed E and R key caps with yellow letters…)
I can't find anything comparing graphics performance, but from experience, Ryzen Vega has better driver support. They probably perform around the same, with Vega looking better (judging off videos of their older cpu versions)

My Costco laptop: boots up pretty really fast. Can't really complain. Chrome, lots of tabs open. Fast. 16gb memory ram is good. Fan noise is annoying but I have headphones on. Built-in speakers is garbage. Playing games is awful. Tried playing overwatch. Not good even at the lowest settings. Decent webcam and mic. Used google voice a few times. Really can't complain too much.
How does this laptop compare to my Costco laptop? Is the CPU about the same? A lot slower or faster? I want this laptop because I really do want a laptop with Numpad because this is a work laptop and I use excel sometimes. Another thing. Because there's a numpad. Will the keyboard be a lot smaller?

according to the specs on Amazon the 15" is 14.31" wide. The costco AV14-51-58XZ is 12.9" wide.

This has a better picture of the 15" keyboard
https://www.acer.com/us-en/laptop....AYCAA
when you zoom in there is less gap from keyboard to edge of laptop on the 15" so I think the keys themselves are the same size, and in addition to the numberpad there are additional top row keys and they are bigger and the power key is not next to the delete key which is a plus on the 15"
I lucked out with my costco because I have no fan issues, it's silent at rest and barely hear it under load.
edit: other differences (according to the Acer links above), no bluetooth or thunderbolt on the 15" but does have ethernet port

If you also play games on it, you may spend $100 more and get this instead. It has Thunderbolt 4 too.

It was an FP and marked expired but it's still available as of now. Adding more RAM to it is necessary. By the way, the 6 cores Intel Core i5-11400H in it is again faster than this i7-1195G7. Though battery life is poor as it's a gaming laptop.
