this was bought at costco for a little over $1500 for my mom for christmas. it was bought for the massive HD and screen, and good/decent GPU and CPU for her business stuff. she didn't want it and hasn't touched it ever since. i tried returning it to costco today but they said it past the 3 month return policy so could not refund the $1500. the manufacturer's seal on the laptop bag is still on there, unopened. i'm asking $1100 for it. i can take picture of the receipt to show the exact amount paid and when/where it was bought on request. here are exact specs from HP website:
