People are on a budget, why is there always someone trying to upsell? For $500 more you can get something even better

For those wondering...8gb RAM is soldered. No extra RAM slot. 256GB NVMe is ofcourse upgradeable. It has Thunderbolt 3 port. Includes Wacom stylus. 274 nits according to this review:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3...nuses.html

Still a good deal IMHO.

What are you talking about, thats just base speed, once you start doing anything intensive it goes upto 3.6ghz (4cores 8threads). The reason is to save power. This laptop lasts awhile unplugged and is pretty powerful for the average user

Bought this laptop for same price couple months ago (eBay manufacturer refurb). It was practically new, no signs of use. I like the laptop. Quick, responsible and comes with a built-in stylus pen. Screen is not very bright, but on par with other laptops in this price range.

Promo code PICKCR5 doesn't work, did it work for anyone out here
It worked for me. In fact, I didn't even have to type it in. There was a check box that I was able to check to get the PICKCR5 discount.

M.2 sata. NOT M.2 NVME. If you update a nvme which w/r speeds more than 2000/3000mb/s ,you just get no more than 500mb/s because the motherboard doesn't support high speed nvme.I got it last deal,tried and returned it.

I bought one of these refurbs a few month ago when it was $500 with a 20% discount ($1.27 cheaper) and was surprised that it came with a slip case. The picture shows the slip case but it's not mentioned in the description anywhere. I was so pleased with the unit that I just bought another one for my niece's upcoming HS graduation present.

Thanks to the OP, repped.

PCWorld and Windows Central reviewed this laptop and said it has an NVMe SSD.

(Not that it would be noticeable to most users.)

Looks like the price increased to $479.99, unless I'm missing something.
Add it to cart, part of the discount appears automatically
Then click on "gift card, coupons" at checkout and it should have the coupon code to add
Still working on this end

For those interested in this deal, here is some more information.

There is one ram slot and it is soldered. It should be noted that the 8GB provided is sufficient for the average user.

There is secondary m.2 nvme ssd slot to increase the storage space. This upgrade video shows how it is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czyzc-LbBTY

If you are looking for portability, it is a 3.31 lbs, which may be heavy for some users.

The USB C port is a Thunderbird port and it also supports USB C charging as there have been reports that the barrel charger is flimsy and breaks easily.

WIFI on this device is steady and strong. From my experience, it hasn't posed an issue; however your mileage may vary.

The screen is bright and clear and the hinges are strong when you flip the device in tent, stand or tablet mode.

The condition that I received was new retail. No scratches or scuffs.

From my personal experience, the device checks the boxes of being affordable, and a 2-in-1 with the stylus included. Bonus points that it has a sleeve and that linux can run on it.

Good buy for your average user and their kids.

100% agree. There's no reason for that. And an extra $190 is a nearly 50% price increase. And then when people upsell, it's like "well what's another $50 on top of that". This is a decent deal and people shouldn't fall for the upwelling because there will always be something better and it is always more expensive.

Anyone knows what integrated graphics this has?

I know this ain't no gaming rig. I'm trying to figure out which integrated graphics this comes with. I just want to plug it in sysrqmts.com and see what games this system can handle.

This was my takeaway from buying it in February:

The charging barrel connection is absolutely weak but with care it can survive, not recommended for plugging in on any unstable surface such as a bed or couch.

Popped a 1TB NVME drive in without issue though you will need a compatible screw as one is not provided to hold down the second SSD.

The RAM is straight up soldered on, no upgrade options whatsoever.

Purchased this charger on amazon and I am now able to charge the laptop via USB type-c (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B086X37GVS/) the original charger will be going into storage as a result. I paired the wall plug with one of the cables I snagged from monoprice a few weeks ago thanks to this deal: https://slickdeals.net/f/14804800-6-6-monoprice-essentials-30awg-usb-type-c-to-type-c-3-1-gen-1-cable-white-3-free-shipping-via-monoprice?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

I tried a bunch of 45w USB type-c laptop chargers before buying the power brick on amazon, I kept receiving a slow charging notification each time so that wasn't going to work.

I can give this a strong recommendation for the features and $400 price. The barrel charger, working stylus, and sleeve were all also included in the box.
