Costco website shows this as model A515-57-598B. Acer's Lifecycle Extension Guide for A515-57 shows you can upgrade/replace both RAM (two SODIMM slots) and SSD (two M.2 slots). Couldn't find specs about speeds or limits in Acer's docs, but according to LaptopMedia's A515-57 teardown/review:

However that same review's specs section lists RAM as "up to 64GB". Not sure which is correct, but their teardown at least confirms the slots are there, and even the lower 32GB limit should be good enough for most users in a laptop of this grade.

It does look like there are some incorrect specs in Costco's listing:

Costco's images show a fingerprint reader on the trackpad, but Acer's A515-57-598B specs say there is no fingerprint reader and they don't show one in their images.
Costco lists "Backlit Keyboard and 1080p Webcam" in the Features at the top of the page, then lists "Backlit Keyboard" in the Product Details and the Specifications sections. However Acer specs say this model does not have a backlit keyboard, and one review on Costco's site confirms the laptop they received didn't have a backlit keyboard.
Related to the other half of the previous point, Costco says "Backlit Keyboard and 1080p Webcam" in the Features section at the top, then lists "Integrated HD Webcam (1280 x 720)" in the Product Details. Acer doesn't list the camera specs so not sure which is correct.

Received mine today and it does not have a backlit keyboard like advertised. Thankfully, Costco has a good return policy.

If you (or anyone else) still have it or if you remember, can you confirm it has a Thunderbolt port? Just like the issue with the keyboard being backlit or not there's some doubts about it actually having one.

Not really worried. Costco return policy is amazing. This is mainly for my daughter to play roblox and Minecraft on.
This comment sold me on it. My son is into the same and searched for those, which brought me to your comment. LOL

Anyhow it is again orderable for Black Friday but says

"This product is backordered, and is expected to ship between 11/29/2023 and 12/08/2023."

As long as it gets here before Christmas.

EDIT: cancelled and went with the Dell 2 in One w/ i7 16GB ram and 1TB. I had the Amex offer for $120 cash back on $599 purchase and used a well-known Cash Back site for 15% off so in the end ~$424 (after tax) for a more powerful/flexible machine.

That's the same one at Dell as your Best Buy link. Here's the link at Dell however I just clicked on it and Dell increased it $100 by the price I bought at earlier this morning.


https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...ts7430gghh

Just in case it's a glitch on my side Configure it for the i7 CPU and Windows 11 home to get the $599.99 price which qualifies for the AMEX offer for the $120 cash back. I believe that's all I toggled to get $599 so maybe I'm just missing something I did earlier. Play around with the options

Ordered 1 from Costco with back order date by December 1st week. I missed the dell $599 2 in 1 by few hours. Will settle for this. Mainly for kid's school work/ zoom classes.

Out of stock again. I messed up my payment info and the order is awaiting correct card details however after I ordered I saw that $599 Dell 2 in 1 and ordered that too. I don't know if eventually the bad Costco order will just fall out of the system or what but I don't really want it anymore anyway. After tax and the AMEX offer cash back; and 15% cash back site it's $424 so not much more than the Acer but twice as much ram, better CPU, twice the storage and backlit keyboard to mention a few things.
