Just got a price match approved for the two i7 16gb that I paid $720 each 2 weeks ago. This is the best laptop I have ever used! And I am not a cheap person when it comes to laptop. All my life I paid $2K per laptop every few years, always bought high end HPs, DELLs. And my office always buys me top end Macbook pro models every 3 years. And I am still amazed by this one. The last $2k laptop that I bought was ~5 years ago And my $3500+tax Macbook is only 2 years old. I am sure if I pay $2k now, that will surpass this one. But this is such a nice laptop. I don't think I will ever have to pay $2k for laptops. I guess technology always advances Smilie
i7, 16 g, 512gb black is $678.
It's $519.99 with Working Advantage EPP.

How is the battery life in yours? I returned mine because the battery was miserable. I would lost 5-10% by put it to sleep overnight. And usage wise it's not only like 5hrs before I have to charge. Not sure if I got a lemon?

edit: before anyone asks, I only used it for web browsing and movie watching. nothing intensive.

How is this as a tablet/touch-screen use-cases ? Just trying to see if I should go for https://slickdeals.net/f/15196855-samsung-galaxy-book-pro-i5-13-256gb-free-buds-pro-637-49?v=1&src=SiteSearch instead

Also a great deal. The 8gb i5 is no slouch and will perform well for general use, but the i7 has more cache, higher clocks, higher EU's for IGP ('cores'), double the RAM, and with the way most SSD's work's the higher capacity models of the same SSD have better performance. If you look at Intel Ark pricing, basically the CPU cost difference is $100+ by itself. Both models are going to be great deals, just depends on if you need the extra performance.
