OP, as much as I appreciate your rush to post this ad, I feel like you cant use the words " Staples has Lenovo Flex" with "Valid 11/22/20 -". Consider editing the title to make that fact clearer?

Flex 5 has lousy hing design, mine broke in less than 2 years.

Cheaper than Costco. $599 at Costco. Might be worth the $50 for extra 3 years of costco visa warranty

Got my eye on this one.

More specs here: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/...5_Spec.PDF

This one seems to meet my main requirements, but If anyone sees anything better with these specs, let me know:

USB-C with PD and Displayport
Backlit Keyboard
2in1/convertible

Now... to figure out if this is the best deal or if my perks at work can compete or Costco is a better overall deal. So many deals this BF and so few have USB-C with PD/DP.

Hmm was planning on getting the 499.99 HP one (https://slickdeals.net/f/14490470-hp-pavilion-x360-2-in-1-14-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-luminous-gold-499-99-at-bestbuy-for-499-99-starts-11-22-20?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1)

Same processor here but 2x RAM and 2x SSD capacity, better battery life, better screen, yes? For $50 more

Worried about hinges though, can I trust build quality? Am I missing anything else?

Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping to get by Best Buy and Staples this week to see if they have display models to inspect up close. I've seen other threads where some people hated the HP TouchPad, and other people hated the Lenovo "plastic" feel.

For the extra $50, I think the Lenovo may be the better deal, but since I won't be the primary user, I need to let the intended user get the best idea of both. I did find additional specs on that HP here: https://cdn.cnetcontent.com/syndi...iginal.pdf

Seems that the HP may be 10% lighter and can charge via USB-C and do displayport, so having the AC smart plug may not be a bad thing for the HP since I already have some USB-C PD chargers.

We were also considering a Samsung Galaxy Book S, but for the specs, either the HP or Lenovo squash the Samsung in the similar price range.

Thanks, yeah my concern with HP is the touchpad, and Lenovo with the hinges. If you don't mind DMing me what you think after you go, I would appreciate it! I am leaning to going with the Lenovo right now. I would prefer USB-C charging (not planning on using it with external monitors so displayport less important for me), but the spec differences make the Lenovo pretty much a no brainer IMO for $50 more... but I need this thing to last a while with light-moderate usage.

Staples.com shows $729.99. Is this deal in person in store only?

Looks like it. I was able to get it from the local Staple and they have plenty in stock.

We ended up spending about twice as much on a Surface Pro 7 with i5, 8GB, 256GB, keyboard, back cover, stylus, and mouse. Figured the old iPad and laptop were still kicking fine, so we wanted to get something more handheld. We'll see how it goes.
