It weighs ONLY 3.22 lbs (1.46 kg). Not bad as it looks very light and portable for a sturdy business laptop.
Lenovo claims that the battery should last for 14 hours with 45Wh and Rapid Charge technology. But, definitely should take care of the work day is what I found online.
And, two Type-C ports with DisplayPort and Charging on both the ports - never seen on a laptop at this price range.
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** (one Always On)
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** Type-C (Power Delivery, DisplayPort, Data transfer)
Terrific deal, IMHO!

And, two type-C ports, which I have not seen in the $500 range laptops.
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** (one Always On)
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** Type-C (Power Delivery, DisplayPort, Data transfer)
Headphone/mic combo
HDMI 1.4
4-in-1 Micro SD card reader (SD, MMC, SDHC, SDXC)
Mini RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (Full-sized adapter sold separately)
Recently bought an X270 on a similar deal, they advertised one item, delivered another and couldn't care less when contacted that they did a classic bait and switch. Pictures and description clearly showed features that were not included. Only one spec option & price to choose from so no confusion there.
Eventually, after escalating, they offered a further 10% discount or a free return - You should also check Lenovo-related forums about how long they can take to refund before you rely on that!

Even if they do some mischief, do you really think that we can't go after them? We can dispute the charge, take it to BBB, etc. It's not as simple as you claim to be but these mistakes, like I said, do happen for time to time. They will eventually correct it.
FWIW, the order email that I received clearly says the part and describes the config in detail as shown below:

I have the motile m142. have a few minor issues with it. wondering if i should switch to this one. The usb c with power delivery and DP is a real plus..

Both the type-C ports can be used for DP, charging, and data transfer. Haven't seen two type-C ports in a laptop in this price range. Also, it has a fingerprint reader.
I sound like a Lenovo salesman in this thread.
Notebookcheck:
"The display backlight flickers at 30490 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.
The frequency of 30490 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering."
Nm. just got one...
supposed to arrive before xmas. so we will see.
This seems like a really good too, but I will keep what I have for ~$200 less.
FWIW, I didn't think I would use the "tablet" functionality but was pleasantly surprised to find out it actually works better for me than my ipad for lying on the couch playing games, browsing web, etc. I really like the 2-in-1 design!
All in all, I really like Lenovo's build quality. Top notch. If you are in the market for a device like this I dont think you could go wrong with this. Their IPS screens are stellar!

It looks like THINK10 is expired. The Lenovo site put in a new coupon for me THINK5 which only gives 5% off.
