Nothing great about this laptop. It's definitely very serviceable for basic usage and comes with a 2-year Costco Concierge warranty. Priced a bit higher than what I consider a budget laptop ($500 and less), but it also offers features that don't often come with those devices.
The Zen 3-based Ryzen 7 7730U debuted in January 2023. It is still a very capable CPU with 8 cores & 16 threads. Passmark CPU Mark single thread 3126, multi thread 18826.
Integrated GPU is Radeon Graphics (Vega 8, up to 2.0 GHz), which is a bit dated but can still handle older and less demanding games. FWIW, I still game a little on an old laptop with only 8GB RAM and an older generation Ryzen 5 2500U CPU with a far slower integrated GPU (Vega 8 graphics, up to 1.1GHz). Definitely no AAA titles, though, lol.
16GB RAM is soldered; no slots for user upgrades.
The display is 300 nits 45% NTSC and touch, so better than typical 250 nits, 45% NTSC, non-touch entry level screens. Bonus is the display is 16:10 aspect ratio, which is better for productivity (less scrolling).
Has USB-C charging, a 1080P webcam w/privacy shutter, a fingerprint reader, and a backlit keyboard -- things you don't always find on budget laptops.
