Mine shows pending. I think the 1250 is the cap u can get. So if u spend 2000 you only get 20% of the 1250

For people who really, really don't want to buy refurbished stuff, you can get this new for $1450 (): https://slickdeals.net/f/18878956-acer-predator-neo-16s-ai-16-qhd-240hz-oled-core-ultra-9-275hx-rtx-5070-ti-32gb-ddr5-1tb-gen4-ssd-win11h-1450-f-s?peid=b203d864-c20c-4e5b-9672-d7df20b5a0dc&src=category_page I personally think refurbished stuff's fine with a good warranty (which this has), but it's up to you.

Honestly, two different types of laptops for two different target audiences.
The main benefit of the Acer is it has an RTX 5070 Ti at a much lower price point than most other laptops. The downside of the Acer is you give up build quality.

The Ideapad is a great deal for the specs if you don't need a "gaming" laptop (note: it's not like you cannot game at all; just won't be able to handle more demanding games at higher settings)
Plus, it's new, better build quality, thinner, lighter, cheaper, and it's from Costco.

Acers are not comparable with Lenovo for build quality?

I'm not sure what "build quality" actually means. I've received 2 malfunctioning Lenovo Legion laptops in a row.

Did the paypal 20% cb work for you? I bought it but the 20% didn't kick in because taxes put it over $1250. Maybe only works if you ship it to a state with no sales tax?
Worked for me with tax

I agree. Look how thin this thing is. Probably 90w. Still a bangin deal.
Can boost to 115 watts instead of the 140 watts of full power version.

Maybe it could boost more with more powerful charger and vbios swap.

Picked this up, thanks. FYI, I saved the Paypal 20% rewards first and it showed the 25,000 points pending right after purchase.

Bought when it was $1385. Looks brand new. Not even a speck of dirt. Came in a brown box and bubble wrap with just the charger. The seran wrap was still on the hinges.
