How is this possible? I have a 6th gen i5 and 8gb ram laptop. It can do 30+ tabs on chrome.
What browser needs 8 gb for one tab?

3rd time they've run this deal in the past couple months. The cheapest PC with decent specs in which you get a 15" IPS screen.

No it cant handle video editing. Even the next step up i5 chokes. Get an AMD Ryzen 4800H with dedicated nvidia 2060 or better for good video editing.
I was gonna ask that right now. Any good deals on that one?

I was checking the pdf link with the specs. does anyone knows which of these 2 displays is the one being used?>

● 15.6" (396mm) FHD (1920x1080), anti-glare, LED backlight, 220 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio

● 15.6" (396mm) FHD (1920x1080), WVA, anti-glare, LED backlight, 250 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio

I know ips has good view angles and WVA stands for wide view angle... so i guess that means the second option is the ips that comes with this lenovo right?

How do we know what a "Top Deals Product" is that qualifies for the 8%, any idea? Not doubting, I just don't see anything that makes me certain this purchase will qualify.

I was in the same boat, and I found their link of excluded items.
