Probably the best deal on this laptop since the Best Buy clearance earlier this year. $50 less, but half the hard drive as well.

Only problem is this is crippled by a old 4-core CPU thats runs hot and is outclassed by both the Ryzen 5000 series mobile chips and its own big brother the Tiger-Lake H class processors.

Is this the best deal currently on Prime day? I see there are a lot of comparable laptops at bit higher price like LG Gram, etc. But there are so many to compare from lol.

Also, would getting i5 version and saving $50 be better? Seems like there's less than 10% performance boost from i5 to i7.

The 1185 is often allowed to run at high wattage.

Was interested but the limited reviews on Amazon are not good.

This is basically an Intel 11th gen Iris reference model. There are a lot of reviews from earlier in the year and late last year.

Rather go with a ryzen laptop and discreet graphics for more money. Not going to drop ~1k after taxes and can't even game on native res with good frame rates of I wanted to. integrated graphics in 2021 is a no go.
