Great deal tbh, probably the best deal with a 5500U, compared to the other i3/i5 and even i7 deals, 5500U almost always comes out on top.
2 RAM slots, replaceable NVME and WiFi card, FHD IPS screen
only downside is the not so great battery size and probably not so great build quality.

but for sub-400, this is a no-brainer and can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, especially if you take the 2x8GB 3200 RAM upgrade.

just wish other retails can price match on specific builds.

Ryzen 7 5700U is an option for an additional $90, didn't check the benchmarks to compare, but the Ryzen 5 5500U is probably fine for most people...

That's the name of the integrated graphics chip on this APU, It's not trying to mislead anyone.

I've tried 3 times in the sales chat to get the $25 promo applied, but no luck. Any other tips?

I am not super smart about tech, but perhaps an expert on this thread can help. Toying with doing the processor upgraded to the Ryzen 7 but not sure if it's worth the $90 premium.

https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...en-5-5500u

Looks like, as you would expect, modest improvement in individual core performance (sub 10%), but ryzen 7 results in overall 25%ish increase multi core performance (two more cores, after all).

What I don't know is, how much is this likely to impact your day-to-day? light gaming, browsing, x265 playback, 4K video etc. I don't think it's going to have a huge impact except on maybe processor-heavy loads, but that varies from application to application, right? For example, Civiliation, as I understand it, is processor heavy so that could benefit but other games might not? How is video playback impacted?

I have ordered 3 of these now. Each time getting a better deal. Next great deal advice.

***Order, wait a few hours and then call to cancel. You MUST call and wait a few hours. They will add a "recovery specialist" to the call who will offer you either free 2-year warranty or an extra $30 off.

Used EPP and got $321.99 as well. Couldn't resist, even though I got one of the last $429 Lenovo i5 in this area.

My work laptop has a backlit keyboard (it's a dell) and I think it may be the most useless thing. I am not sure why people want it. Maybe on the silver where the key names lit up, but on a black keyboard with white lettering.. useless.
I'm also not getting what's the use of adding the backlit keyboard. Someone please enlighten me.

How do you get $321.99?
I'm seeing $349.99. Unfortunately when I ordered it was $354.99.
Don't know if they'll adjust the price if I call them now

I just realized it's because I have a student email I signed up with.
