          People were getting i3 in store and online because that is what is being advertised and sold. Getting i5 is by chance only, not guaranteed. 
 
see the previous thread if you need proof for whatever...

          Can confirm just picked up 12/31 and received i5-1035g4. Keyboard has a great feel and is backlit, trackpad is ok but could be much better. Screen is excellent, honestly.

          This is the same laptop that was $280 on Black Friday I believe. If so, this is a pretty good buy.

          The fan noise is quite high pitch. The whirling sound doesn’t really quite down even during idle

          Intel GPU isn't ideal for video editing. Encode speed won't compare to something like the 1660 or 1060 GTX, especially for HEVC and FHD+.

          The cards will have the model advertised which is an i3.  You don't know if you're getting an i3 or an i5 until the Costco employee hands you the box after you've paid.

          Still the best 10gen i5 deal around even though it's $20 more with 1080p screen.  (there was discussion of a walmart Dell with an i7, but it had a 720p screen). 
 
By adding 16GB RAM ($50), you get...

          Even without the usb-c charging, the chance of getting the i5 was worth the purchase.  
 
Until I saw a YouTube video on how to upgrade the Ram.  What a mess. Had no idea modern laptops would be such...

          There is an option to switch to regular windows 10. If interested, download windows 10 from Microsoft website and do clean install.

          No luck at my local store, only i3...I'll try one a little further away later. 
By the way is the 2 year Costco warranty still valid if you open the computer to replace, say, the RAM and SSD?

          Got 1 delivered. Says i3 on the side of the box. 
Is this worth opening and verifying if it has a i5?

          Ordered online on Dec. 31 at $399 with the hopes of getting one with a i5, then price matching to $299 after Jan 2. Arrived by UPS on Jan 3, but got an i3, unfortunately.
