Costco members only deal, looks like online-only deal so $9.99 shipping or warehouse pickup fee is unavoidable. I bought one selecting standard shipping and the site says it will arrive next-day.
I don't believe the 12gb memory is upgradeable -- EDIT: Memory is 4gb soldered, 8gb sodimm, so it probably can be upgraded with a 16gb or 32gb chip, but I don't have verification of anybody doing this yet.
300-nits touchscreen anti-glare display is perhaps one of the key benefits here. Not really bright enough for outdoor use, but with an "anti-glare" display and 300-nits it should break through a brightly lit indoor room without many reflections compared to more common glossy touchscreen displays.

Here is the detail from that page... Based on this, the RAM isn't upgradeable, but might need to search on that because is looks like the 8gb is a sodimm that might be replaceable.

You should be able to throw in whatever DIMM you want in that slot.
The announce date on this model was 5/28/2021 so it's as fresh a laptop as you get.
