This is indeed a good to very good price for the specifications. However, the pricing is well above a directly comparable ASUS which sold at $179 around December. Considering how much worse the market has gotten for PC sales even since that early crash of prices in the chromebook space, the most hardcore bargain hunters may be justified in passing on this deal. However, if you've been shopping a chromebook there's good reason to give this option a look should you need something today.

8GB of RAM
Particularly on x86 models this improves usability with more advanced use-cases, such as the Linux sandbox.
1080p touchscreen
The touchscreen improves the interoperability with Android apps. 1080p resolution makes this a solid media-consumption device.
2-in-1 design
When considered alongside the Android functionality (and relatively long software support life with ChromeOS) this becomes a killer Android tablet replacement.

Where this doesn't necessarily excel is the CPU, which is absolutely solid for the lightweight ChromeOS but like many Ryzen models sounds better than it is (since the internals are based on an older Zen iteration [notebookcheck.net]). This AMD CPU is going to provide almost exactly the same performance as the M3-8100Y [userbenchmark.com] in the ASUS deal I referenced earlier. However, buyers of the Intel-equipped ASUS might understand that the Y labeling indicated ultra-low power usage and M3 indicated a cut down number of cores (2) vs. the mainstream i3 series of the 8th generation (which had introduced 4 cores as almost universal). In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 3 3250C hopes to invoke association with the highly efficient Zen2 Ryzen CPUs [hothardware.com] but in actuality, as is the case with much of the mobile lineup for AMD, the internals are based upon an older revision.

There's probably not a better chromebook you could buy right now for $250. At the same time, there have been comparable chromebooks for less just within the past few months.

Good luck!
Jon

No, it's not in store.

Regarding returns, I normally don't call people out for asking questions (this is a discussion forum after all,) but you asked the same question 4 times a month ago the last time this deal was posted.

In that month you could have spent < 1 minute searching and found this:

For an immediate refund, including shipping and handling fees, return your purchase to any Costco warehouse.

Items returned by mail through Costco.com will be refunded - including shipping and handling fees - and will be credited to the credit card used to place your order. You won't be charged for the return shipping.

Hi there, do you guys know if this model is fanless? Thanks in advance
No it's not fanless.

If you're looking for a fanless one, below is a good option. One of the more powerful Chromebooks without a fan. I have it and really like it.

I have the Acer 713. Great Chromebook, significantly more money , but awful speakers. Think I remeber chromeunboxed reviewing this and said the speakers were just as bad.
I have 2 first generation Acer 713s. The speakers lack bass, perhaps because the laptop is very thin. They seem loud enough for me, though not super loud.

FYI you can buy without being a member but they charge a 5% surcharge on the before discount price---so $20 more.

I got my brother to order mine
Paid with discover for 5% cashback brings my cost down to $268

I just hope the switch to chrome os is manageable.

I'm looking at something like this to replace my old (2017?) desktop and even older Chromebook (still runs!). I don't have a great need for lots of storage, gaming, etc, but I need something that will run scheduling/booking/payment apps/software (I.e Square) for my small business. Are Chromebooks good for this or do I need something with Windows/iOS?

Square has been working on Chromebooks since 2018
