32GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Excellent build quality (from reviews), 2.2 lbs weight.
HP Dragonfly G4 13.5" Intel Evo Platform Touchscreen Laptop - 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U - 1280p - Windows 11 Pro
This was $1200 a couple of weeks back and then it went to $1099. It just dropped to $999.
This is not the newest core ultra processor, but is this not good enough for most at this price point considering the build quality? I was looking for 32GB RAM, 1TB, 14.5 inch or less. and processor from the latest gen (preferably AMD) but I don't think it can be had for less than $1000. Zenbook came close with intel 155h.

yeah you can find something similar i guess. I always think the extra $100 to go thru costco is worth it just because of the return and warranty they offer. You can always roll the dice with newegg...
I guess it just depends on what you think "similar" specs are. 32gb ddr4 vs 32gb ddr5. i7 13620h vs i7-1355. 3.75lb vs 2.2lbs. 3cell 39.3 Whr vs 6cell battery 51/68 Whr. non-touch vs touch.i would still pick the costco for the extra $300.
"Deals" are like the Lenovo P14s deal a couple months ago (14" 2.8K OLED, Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U, 64GB LPDDR5, 1TB SSD) for $1009. Compare that to this HP and I don't see the attraction.
Currently, for a $100 more, there is this which includes a 120Hz 2.8K OLED display.

When comparing this Costco model to most online reviews, note the following differences to have the right expectations out this unit:
This Costco model comes with 1355U cpu, 32gb ram, 1Tb storage, 68whr battery.
Most online reviews are done on 1365U cpu, 15gb ram, 512gb storage, 68whr battery.
I.e., if you compared the scenario specs above, I would expect this Costco model when under max load to run slightly slower, cooler, better multitasking, better storage, and a little better batter life; when compared to the reviewed benchmarks.
