This is a deal-breaker for me too. Within 5 minutes of using a laptop with a backlit keyboard, you will never want one without.

Seen any deals WITH it?

WTF are you talking about? A 6500 CPU score is very good, especially for an ultra-low power-rated CPU. You're not designing satellites with this laptop; this is a business or education-oriented machine that just happens to be capable of some casual gaming at low to medium quality settings. The CPU won't be a bottleneck for anything it's meant to do.

Quote from ChiefAlchemist :
What's the max on the RAM? I know 4 is soldered, but the other slot can go to what? 16? 32?
Max RAM per Lenovo is 12G... 4 + 8

Still a good deal....

Isn't there $50 in coupon codes that you can add to this deal? And I think you can also buy a $25 coupon for $5.

Usually their coupons exclude sale items.

Yep...I was looking to get 2 laptops for the kids for school and light gaming. I thing the one upgradable slot would be more than enough to get them by for a few years. For 2 though the Dell comes out to $140 less, plus the Amex offer so I guess the Dell would be the way to go.
Haven't had much time to use it, so I can't comment on fan speed. However, if you can decipher, here is the HW info on the graphics driver:
Vendor: Dell 1002
Device ID: 1636
Renoir

Edit: sorry, ignore this comment. I was posting on my phone and somehow it posted my comment in the wrong thread. This was meant for the Dell inspiron 5505 that was a FP deal

When you get time, like to hear any updates surrounding the fan noise.

Fan noise has definitely been running louder now that I've been using it more. Ripped some dvds with makemkv with the processor running around 90% and the fans were going most of that time. Honestly, idt it's bad at all, but some may have less of a tolerance for fan noise than myself. Personally, I wouldn't even think to mention fan noise as a complaint for this machine.

Edit: sorry, I have the Dell inspiron 5505. My comments somehow ended up in the wrong forum on the mobile app

Just got mine today, I can hear the fans for sure. Not a deal breaker though. I'm updating it and this is the fan noise.
