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.

I bought an Acer Aspire 5 17" non-touch screen laptop (not a Swift Go 16) 2 1/2 years ago directly from Acer and was very dissapointed in the build quality. I had issues with the trackpad, microphone and speakers after 14 months of ownership.
There are a few reviews for this Swift Go 16 here:

Touchscreen kills it as usual. Buy a tablet if you want touch.
Maybe less on 11/28? Worth a check.
I have this laptop from when they put on sale a few weeks ago. On paper ticks all my boxes.
I never unboxed it in case something better comes along for BF.Will do a price adjustment or rebuy/return.
FYI - r/costco says that price adjustments for black Friday are a warehouse by warehouse discretion.

I have come across some data points reporting/showing screen bleed (poorly installed screen causing light spots to bleed through corners/edges of the screen on dark backgrounds). The other issue is fan noise but it seems most recent reviews do not complain about that, so maybe it's been resolved? I would expect less fan noise on this 16 vs the 14 too, since it has more space to dissipate heat, and more space for bigger fans.
I guess if someone were really inclined, you technically could buy one now and test it out, then decide whether to return vs price-match later this month. You can price-match online purchases through a simple form on Costco's website.

Deal is good 11/29-12/2. There's no mention of 11/28.
