8gb ram... Too bad.
As soon as you see LPDDR5 (low power DDR5 memory) you know it's soldered and usually not upgradeable.
I'm a Total member and I'm not seeing it. Just $549.99 in the cart, no sign of $100 promo reward cert.

Even at half the price of M3 MacBook Air with 8 GB, still doesn't seem worth it. It's a shame there's so little RAM and not upgradable it seems. It has a great processor (Core Ultra 125H) and Zenbooks have nice build quality and screen. But I could see this being frustrating to use if having multiple programs open, and also "slowing down" in a few years as applications inevitably become more memory-hungry.

If you just want something to browse web, do light tasks, and something that looks great, this might be a deal.

On paper the $100 brings the price down to $450, but it's hard to find non overpriced stuff for $100 at Best Buy. Kinda dubious that the regular going price for this is $800.

The nature of Low Power RAM. Better battery life, faster, etc but has to be soldered.

Agreed though, in 2024 kneecaping at 8GB on PC is just a bad practice

You can find better laptops for around $400-$450. This is not worth the price at all.

Oh lmao, it's a staff post. They are advertising and trying to deceive their users into thinking things are actually deals. Bet money they got a kickback from posting this garbage.

Slickdeals will ruin itself because of the paid promos their mods post pretending to be deals.

Is there a way to block everything that is posted by mods/staff?

Cheap laptops are not for everyone, but a member posted this deal (without the certificate) previously and it reached front page. Staff are often standing on the shoulders of giants Grin I don't think there is currently a way to filter out deals by staff, but it's a good suggestion, maybe some people will surprise us by opting into only seeing deals posted by staff.
