Quote from parmarsaab :
They gave me an additional % off as the store canceled my order citing incorrect inventory. The non glare aspect of the screen is the only thing I like about it. Colors are washed up and of course there's the 250 nit Max brightness. Not sure how much of a difference 250 vs 300 would make. Build quality is horrible but I've heard Lenovo is probably the same or even worse. Lastly, I believe the Lenovo's RAM wouldn't be dual channel given the mismatched capacities.
And from what I read, Target's return policy on opened laptops is pretty strict? I already opened the HP, but reading up on mixed policies like you'll only get an exchange. That's great they got you a better price. My original order + replacement both were damaged during shipping and they barely gave me a few $ off for placing an in store pickup order.

is 300 Nits a good resolution at this price range. thank you.
Nits has to do with brightness. 300 is fine, nothing extraordinary. The 1080p resolution is also fine

Yes.

Seems like it doesn't cost anything to do it either: https://support.microsoft.com/en-...Windows_11
Except battery life and computer longevity

I've got some old laptops/computers I don't use (windows 7). They all have either pro or ultimate. I hope this works:https://www.zdnet.com/article/goi...t-hassles/

Touchscreen and backlit keyboard are almost must-haves for me.
11th gen i5 is a nice bump.
Lenovo manual doesn't indicate USB-C is capable of charging:

Open box at my store for $387...
Hmmmm...
Most likely not. To my understanding is that the IdeaPad 3 series doe not show type c charging, but the 5 series does
