Price/spec verdict
£419.98: what you get for the money
Very strong if Costco applies the checkout reduction: £419.98 for a new Ryzen 7 8840HS, 16GB/512GB laptop with 2-year warranty is excellent CPU value, but buyers must confirm the lower basket price because the product page itself showed £599.98.

Terms that affect the real price
- Do not rely on the product-page price alone: the page showed £599.98, while the deal depends on a lower automatic checkout reduction to £419.98.
- Costco membership is required, and local warehouse pricing may vary.
- The screen is basic for colour work: Full HD IPS, 60Hz and 45% NTSC, so this is a performance-value laptop rather than a premium display laptop.
Why it works
Reasons it is worth a look
- Ryzen 7 8840HS plus 16GB DDR5 at a reported £419.98 effective price is much stronger CPU value than most new 15in laptops around £400-£450.
- The Costco page confirms the core spec, Windows 11 Home, 1.75kg weight and a 2-year warranty.
- It keeps the compromises sensible for the price: integrated Radeon graphics, 512GB SSD and a standard Full HD IPS panel rather than tiny storage or 8GB RAM.
