From Costco? If you want a better display (OLED vs IPS) then Acer is the way to go, it's also lighter than the legion. RAM on this is half (can be upgraded) but much faster, 6400 vs 5600.

I'm thinking this may be the best option I've seen for an OLED screen, 5060 graphics, and a good processor? I keep my machines six or seven years and so want something with longevity. I mainly play games like Formula 1, Civilization, and BG3. I'm considering buying it and not opening until after BF.

Oled screens will likely suffer from burn in after a few years and very likely before 4-5 years. You may want to look at miniled/IPS if longevity is a major factor.

OLED in 2025 is not the same as OLED in 2005 or 2015 or 2020.
