This is a heck of a deal overall.

Current gen CPU
16:10 display (albeit 45% NTSC which sucks, but again, under $400 compromise here)
16 GB of RAM (definitely not something common under $400)
USB-C that supports charging and monitor out (doesnt mention thunderbolt but seems like its close to being that?)
Not a completely laughable battery at 56.6wh (lots of laptops this cheap will have sub 50wh batteries)
It even has a 1080p webcam, not 720p
Tons of I/O including 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, HDMI, micro SD card reader...


These are all features combined that make this a really good deal overall for the price. My hones only gripe is getting a SLIGHTLY better display than the garbage 45% NTSC ones, but if thats the only real compromise of this laptop (not only 8 GB of RAM, no USB-C charging/displayout/thunderbolt, 720-p webcam, etc etc) its something you can live with.
Also, it has an aluminum case, not plastic, according to the Q and A.

That's my concern is this website reliable to enter your credentials in? Also in case of any issues with the laptop defective - damaged..etc or if I want to return it without any reason what are the terms and conditions they will accept to return it and return the money or not!? Cause I think it's a good deal and there will not be something like it for about 2 -3 months maybe or there are any better options !?

B&H is certainly reputable. However, their return & refund policy is something I'm unsure off.

Also, I'm unable to source this exact model with another retailer who would be willing to price match B&H

They are a legit business, sales over $500million/year. But they have an atrocious return policy. The moment you open the laptop it is no longer returnable with them regardless if defective or just changed your mind.

If the website is reputable like you are saying! I think that this model is the best model among its competitors from other brands it has a lot of features like fingerprint - backlight keyboard fast charging and finally a good processor! Regarding the point of their return and refund policy that's a crucial point to be checked so we need anyone to confirm it quickly before the deal ends!

I feel the only selling point are the newer Intel CPU and probably the aspect ratio of the display. The CPU, on paper, should be close to M2, but anything else, it just works.

Am I biased?

P.S., free shipping to Canada, if that's where you are located. I feel CA$400 would sounds like a fairer price.
What? It's a f*****g $400 computer. That is half the cheapest new M2

Seems like a great deal. My preference is a 14" form factor.

I wonder how much extra it would cost manufacturers to add Thunderbolt with 3x display support? If it was $50 or less, I'd be willing to pay it.

I'd also prefer side vents for cooling since it's a dumb design to attempt pulling air from the underside... the side you're putting on top of some surface. Then it exhausts into the thin crack between the display and laptop. At least, that's how my cheap HP is designed, and it's noisier than it needs to be had it been engineered better.

Seems like a nicely appointed laptop to me. I mean, 16 inch display which is nice, especially for 40+ year olds with vision that is slowly getting worse (me), 16 GB of ram, 512 GB ssd, backlit keyboard, external hdmi connection, all for under $400. I bought basically the same thing but with a touch screen (lenovo yoga), open box from best buy, for $100 more. This is new. For what I use it for, 3d slicing, scanning, general browsing, low end gaming, this is a perfect laptop. Its also relatively slim and light and very portable.
Agree. I feel the touch screen on yoga is usually better in colors.

For those interested, and it might not be offered to everyone, but if paying via PayPal, I was given the option to pay 25% now, and then 3 other payments in the next 2-3 months, with 0% interest. - "Pay in Four"

Also note, this price appears to be a one day sale, ends at midnight.

It has 1 year Lenovo warranty.
While they do not allow laptop returns their return / exchange policy states, "Defective or Damaged Items
Defective items may be repaired, exchanged or refunded at our discretion for the same model or manufacturer's equivalent model. Return shipping fees for verified defective or damaged items will be reimbursed."
Not sure if that policy applies to nonreturnable items.

Yes B&H Photvideo are reliable and usually offer fast shipping for free - I've bought laptops from them over the years and never had a problem with them.

Is the RAM upgradeable to something like 32GB? It says soldered but no indication of there is a free slot for additional memory.

This seems to be only drawback. Can't upgrade say after 2 years. As per specs in manual 2x8GB both soldered

Well, do you recommend purchasing it from them? Another thing I know it's a silly question but I have to ask it! it's my first time buying anything from their website it's a new laptop right!? not refurbished or used cause they don't have something like condition: new or anything that indicates the product's condition!
