Note this has the fastest CPU, but only one DDR4 DIMM populated. Recommend purchasing another 8 GB DIMM so that the CPU runs in dual channel mode for best performance.

Last deal and prices from other retailers are around $550.

Some benefits of this model compared to other inexpensive laptops:
- FHD IPS display. Others are often lower resolution or inferior TN displays.
- 2 memory slots, supporting up to 32GB. Others may have soldered memory with 1 memory slot.
- Intel wifi module. Others are often Realtek, which is less reliable.
- USB-C port supports power delivery, DisplayPort, and data. Others are often data-only.
- Laptop charges via USB-C instead of a proprietary connector. Can be powered by a USB-C monitor.
- Thinkpad keyboard, build quality, support, and serviceability are better than most consumer laptops.

Note this configuration has the fastest CPU/GPU, but only one DDR4 DIMM is populated. Recommend purchasing and installing another 8 GB DIMM so the CPU runs in dual channel mode for best performance.

Last deal and current prices from other retailers is $550.
Non-backlit keyboard and 250 nits screen kills it for me. Some may not care though.
If this laptop is not too heavy (couldn't find weight), it's a pretty sweet deal.

Tiger Direct though = "no deal"

edit: original post that i replied to said "10% cashback"

edit 2: screen brightness and weight (3.87lb) definitely kill the deal for me. and look at those bezels... yikes. otherwise, spes look nice but not epic for $450

Half the performance of 1050. Remember that these APU uses ram as memory which is still painfully slow compare to gddr5.
