I think it's a solid deal.

Display is a bit weak - non oled and only 350 nits

other wise good specs.

Given the current pricing climate, this is a great deal on a decent laptop with these specs. Display could be better but any laptop with 32GB under $1000 is a good deal, especially with other brands middle-road laptops coming in >$2K. Also this is a new model with the latest generation AMD chip.

"The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 (a 10-core/20-thread processor with 20 threads) heavily outperforms the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V (an 8-core/8-thread processor) in heavily multithreaded tasks. However, the Intel Ultra 9 288V features significantly faster single-core speeds, a smaller 3nm node, and its integrated graphics excel in power efficiency and certain creative benchmarks. "

That tilts it a little in the direction of the Intel variant as most things people do happen in single core.

Thanks. Costco model is 2025 model where as BestBuy is 2026. Not sure if that gives an edge. But I heard Acer Swift has all metal chasis and very good durability. debating between these two. Costco also has addl year warranty with 4% cash back.

The irony is that we're starting to tilt back towards Intel, and for the graphics of all things.

Why is it bad? Care to elaborate? It has a 350nits 100srgb I believe. 120hz refresh rate.

Just bought it this evening. Took all the bloat off, not much. Still messing around with it and very impressed so far. Comes with a padded laptop case as well.
