Another thing, if you are thinking of getting this, use the Costco credit card for double the warranty before Jan 31st as that benefit goes away after that date.

Do you have a link to the reports of the Lenovo with the i7 12700 being throttled?
I've seen a couple of CPU Mark benchmark scores for this PC. One shows lower than average, but still a little faster than the Ryzen 5700G. The other report shows normal slightly above average score. Both scores show normal average in single thread score, which is significantly faster than the Ryzen 5700G single thread.
I got the other deal for the HP Victus with the Ryzen 5700G and the RX 6600 XT. The CPU scores a little above average, but the RX 6600 XT gpu is giving scores about one third less than average.

It's a decent system, but desktops are like laptops these days--the specs are useless. i7 i5 i9999 they're all throttled by various mechanisms and cut-corners so you don't actually get the performance you think you're buying.

Will costco adjust pricing if I purchased 5 weeks ago (never opened, still sealed, so I can easily return).
