This was first listed in the Costco holiday brochures that were sent out, price $699.
Then ~week ago, Costco's holiday savings website section (and on the app too) updated, showing $799-$200 = $599. The advertised price dropped $100!
It originally showed on Nov 28 only. But now the latest ads show 11/29-12/2 (online only).
This is why some of you guys are posting conflicting info--Costco itself has beeen inconsistent in their advertisements for this. But it's clearly going to be $599. I think this is the best deal for an all-around 15/16 incher this season *for non-gamers*. This can do all the office stuff, video editing, 100% sRGB IPS screen that won't have burn-in (newer OLEDs aren't as susceptible but still do, so OLEDs may be sexy but not as good for long long-term longevity). My only real concern is that it's potentially hot/loud. I saw consistent reviews on both Swift Go 14s and 16s saying this. Build quality is lower than the Lenovo Yoga as well.
Out of curiousity, I installed Counterstrike 2 on it to see how it would fare and my testing showed nearly constant thermal throttling with it only able to achieve about 50% of the fps that the integrated GPU can on a laptop with better cooling.

This has one of the best integrated GPUs on the market now and even bests the previous best AMD 780m on the 8840HS. It scores higher than many dedicated GPUs as well. For $600 these are very top notch specs and some of the newest hardware.
Touchscreen kills it as usual. Buy a tablet if you want touch.

I just checked out the flyer for the Nov 28 online-only page, and this device isn't listed on it. Could you provide the link or an image to confirm?
