10% cash back from Shopsmarter brings the price to around $390.

Edit: Price went down, so now $360 w/ cash back

You go to the Shopsmarter website and sign up for a 7-day trial. This costs $2 but you get $43 cash back on this laptop. You can then cancel the trial if you wish.

I just did this. Made sure to have adblocker off. I do not see my 10% cash back showing up in the "pending cash back" section of their website (under the savings tab). Their website says that any purchase made in a month (i.e. Jan 1-31) will be paid out on 15th of the following month (i.e. Feb 15). So technically purchasing today 11/29/20, I should expect them to mail me out ~Dec 15th. But my issue is that currently cash back is not showing up in their account - does it take a day? or should I go to their "missing cash back" form and complete that?

Also, I don't think I can cancel after 7 day trial, because will they pay out my cash back on Dec 15th if I cancel within a week?

Yes, it takes a couple of days for the cb to appear under Savings. I'm new to this site too, but it should show up after a while...mine did.

I emailed customer service about canceling after 7 days and they told me, "Your rebates are guaranteed regardless of your membership status." So I expect to get a check in December too after canceling, fingers crossed.

One thing to note, you will lose access to the site once you cancel so I would try and wait till your cb shows up in Savings before you do that (you will still be able to email them though, of course).

Best of luck!

Is this worth the extra $100 compared to the Lenovo at Best Buy the other day? Only difference appears to be this has i5 compared to i3. I'm really not doing much gaming on this, but generally speaking I know i5 is better than i3.

Ty repped! Fingers crossed my cash back shows up. Still a good deal for the laptop, but would be super slick if the cash back works out. Been waiting for these specs sub 400 for a while now.

I'm not 100% sure which BB deal you mean, but if it's the one for the Ideapad 3 with i3-1005G1 cpu, that's a very good deal. The extra $100 buys you a backlit keyboard, bigger battery (52.5Wh vs 35Wh), usb-c, part-metal build quality vs all-plastic, and of course better cpu. Here is a benchmark comparison of the 2 cpus:

That's about a 50% more powerful cpu, but if you're not gaming much, my guess is you don't need it. Hope this helps!
