They're comparable deals. Then there's the issue of screen size and weight. I would go with the 14" any day for a school laptop. Just my opinion after trawling these 2-in-1 laptops the last 3 months.
tl;dr I had to replace a broken key. I found this exact model comes with 3-4 different available keyboard SKUs and hinge types. I couldn't find the hinge type for mine anywhere, so I finally had to purchase a whole keyboard/trackpad assembly on eBay that was for this model, but a different SKU (Lenovo would not send me a key cap, they wanted $260 to replace the whole keyboard). The replacement SKU, while still Lenovo OEM, was of significantly higher quality than the original on my Amazon laptop - it's sturdier, the keys are more tactile, the hinges are made with metal. I have concerns that the SKU sold on Amazon is the same model, but made of lower quality components, though it's also totally possible that what you get is random.

The only real downsides to the device are:
No windows hello
the pen holder uses a standard-sized USB port
