Part of Best Buy's Black Friday Flash Sales. Good basic 11th gen 2in1 that also has pen support, TB4, and a fingerprint scanner. Screen is 100% RGB I believe and ~300 nits.
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I got one open box unit from best buy. Same model but w/ beefier specs (i7 / 16GB / 512GB Optane / 4K). Liked it but thinking of downsizing. Anyone interested please PM
Q: Is Optane a pro or a con? Any potential issue with Linux support?
Optane = meh speeds (1000MB/s random r/w iirc, Google "Optane 477GB"). It's short form M2 (2230?) and can be replaced although options are limited. It's also encapsulated in Intel RST drivers so you'd need that to have your partitions identified when installing OS (Google "tiger lake VMD"). Linux wise...All dell laptops don't play well with Linux as newer bios had removed S3 sleep support in favor of S0 (windows exclusive).

Does it come with one 8GB stick or 2x4GB?
[EDIT] BB reviewers say it's clocked at 4267MHz and NOT upgradable.

USB C charging only, to be exact. No other charging ports
Edit: weird the pics say otherwise...looks like the above statements for i7 model only
