Surprised this is getting down voted. It's the $399 deal that's been so hot, with a 3 Year On-site Warranty for $40.

I know, just SMH. The same basic system was recently listed here and drew 5 TU and lots of comments but now people just like to TD and never say why. It doesn't help anyone looking for a nice little machine but also want comments on how the computer performs. I never found out the size of the power brick but add a small monitor and you kind of have a laptop for school.

I think if you leave a thumb up or down you should also have to explain why.

I suppose Lenovo has fixed the security issue.

This is a decent deal but is $399 with a one year warranty directly from Lenovo or the same $439 price for the same configuration with 3 year warranty. They have deals on the i7 with 16gb as well. I think they are all good deals and didn't thumbs down but some similar threads lately. The other big thing is if you buy directly from Lenovo you can get 10% cash back from Rak.... which makes directly from Lenovo a better deal.

The PC is 7"L x 3.5"W x .9"H its super small. just a bit larger then the Galexy note plus... Thats why its a good deal. think this would be decent Semi-portable work station, living room for steaming or emulating older games. hidden behind something or just used in an area where space is limited. Duct tape it to the back of a monitor and you have a ghetto all in one PC hahaha

The down votes are most likely due to the mobile processor, that's used in laptops, and the fact its the U variant. The U is Ultra-low powered. they are always less powerful and generally focus on power saving. There are other comparable PCs out there for a similar price and maybe more powerful but they would most likely be much larger.
Just as an Example: BestBuy, refurbished, $470, i5-6500T, 8GB Ram, SSD, USBC. 7"L x 6.9"W x 1.3"H (slightly larger, More money, slightly better processor but also refurbished)

the down votes is probably from the 8gb soldered on ram that can't be upgraded.

I don't think so. It's the exact same specs as this expired deal - https://slickdeals.net/f/14205383-lenovo-thinkcentre-m90n-i5-8h-gen-512-gb-pcie-ssd-399?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo

...but this model is now $20 less AND has a 3 year warranty, the expired deal only had a 1 year.

The down votes are because the processor is a 3 year old processor, we are up to the 10th generation Intel. It is no different than buying a 3 year old iphone, it will be cheaper.

Lol, all the random guesses at downvotes. The SD crowd can be fickle...I don't bother trying to guess why.

Your comment present a great learner opportunity. Google any Intel processor and the first search results with be an intel "ARK" page like this
https://ark.intel.com/content/www...0-ghz.html

...which shows the Launch Date of the product, in this case, "Launch DateQ2'19" as Groch pointed out. And this date is the official launch date. It typically takes a bit longer for it to show up in products.
