That's not really how laptop companies work my friend. Acer makes $2000 computers and $200 computers, I'm guessing you have experience with one on the lower end of that spectrum.
The Lenovo has a worse processor (1035G1 vs 4500u), worse screen (TN vs IPS), and is a pound heavier.

If those things don't matter to you and/or if you were on a tight budget, I think the Lenovo would be fine at $70 less, though that deal has expired.
Soldered, unfortunately.

Sweet deal for the price. But 8gb of ram (6 usable) really limits it.

Trying to decide between these two. Do you know if the Best Buy one has the ability to upgrade storage?

250 nits? I have the samsung coming in and the only reason i might keep that one is bc of the very good screen. Even though i really want ryzen there hasnt been any laptops with ryzen and high quality screens

Great deal! I wish they had used a smaller SSD and maybe WiFi 5 and made the screen a little better, but oh well. This is a fantastic deal if you don't mind a meh screen (sufficiently bright for indoors but lacking color coverage) and 8gb RAM (honestly enough for the majority of users). Can't do much better for $500.
