In my opinion, this is by far the best performance Laptop deal in recent times. It was almost $600 couple of days ago. This Laptop has full metal chassis, a pretty solid bright IPS display for its price with over 300 nits brightness, a pretty strong performance, better than almost all the Intel U series Processors, strong Graphics, good combination of ports, Type-C Charging and display out...a feature set not available to laptops twice costlier than this.
Only disadvantage is soldered memory but 8Gb still okay for most of the common usage.

Definitely concessions made but not a bad deal. Display is the deal breaker for me. Antiglare and 300 nits is nice but 45% NTSC isnt.

14" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, 300 nits, 45% NTSC. A crappy IPS display is still a crappy display.

Deal appears to already be dead. At checkout, I'm getting these messages:

Sorry, coupon quantity is not enough for current product.
All coupons are reserved, please replace a coupon or buy directly, or wait for a while.

Bummer... because a certain cash back site still has 15% at Lenovo today, which would have put this at under $450 after tax.

Also sold out at ebay (only had QTY25) and urlhasbeenblocked.

Not dead for me - but damn I need more than 8GB of ram. Just doing some light work right now and I'm hovering at 8.9gb (out of 16 total) in use. This thing will get crippled after it starts swapping.

Even though it has a soldered ram, the price to performance ratio is through the roof! Fantastic deal for a general population.

this is good if your budget is around this price. If CPU/GPU performance is your thing, the new Acer Swift 3 with 4700U at $650 with Vega 7 GPU is better, but that one has even worse screen, and not sure when it will be available. Soon I hope.

A lot of people are complaining about the display quality and forgetting the price point. At this price point, which laptops come with 100% sRGB...show me some example. All the other Laptops from other manufacturers, do come with even worse screen, whether it is Asus VivoBook, Dell Inspiron 5000 series, Acer Aspire 5 and Swift 3 series.
If you need high quality display, you need to go for the premium Laptops like Lenovo Ideapad Slim 7 and they are not yet available in USA.
At this price point, if you consider the hardware it has and then the display...it is actually better than other laptops at this price. It is Matte, have over 300 Nits brightness (As per various reviews, it is over 300 nits with max at 350 Nits) and around 68% sRGB and 48% Adobe RGB. This is not a machine for your editing work and neither it falls under than bracket.

Deal dead at the posted price
Was at this price earlier for the whole morning, but suddenly jumped back up to $649.99. Perhaps a mistake on their end?
Definitely super slick at $479.99 while it still lasted, but with 15% cashback (ends today using that CB website) at the current $649.99 price is still somewhat slick. Definitely also have concerns about the Ryzen chip with integrated graphics and soldered 8GB RAM combo though. Using 6GB of RAM on my current laptop (intel processor) with just Chrome and Word. If system memory is being diverted, not sure how performance will end up. I guess we will have to wait for official real-world performance reviews to come out

Edit: Deal officially dead. Now sold out
