Just saw this holiday deal posted online at Walmart.com, I didn't see these in stores when I went yesterday so not sure if it's avail in store but you can order to pick up. Would you do this item or the Gateway notebook?

Engineered for long-lasting performance, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is the perfect laptop for your everyday tasks with features that you can depend on. A narrow bezel on 2 sides makes for a clean design, and larger display giving you more viewing area and less clutter.
  • 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5-10210U Quad-Core
  • 8GB DDR4 RAM
  • 512GB NVMe TLC SSD
  • 14.0" 1920 x 1080 FHD Display
Good Deal?

I didn't see an i5 new gen for under $500. Is there a huge difference?

Here is an HP version for over $600. Thought the Lenovo one for under $500 was a good deal.

They are at least 5 laptops deals under$500 with 11th i5 in the past month. Just search "i5-1135G7".
Not only the CPU improvement, Intel Iris Xe in 11th i5 improves significantly too. It's now comparable with AMD integrated graphics.

For the information: this i5 processor scores around 6400 on passmark. This year's 4-core i3 (1125) scores slightly over 10000. It's nearly 30% higher performance.
Some laptops with i3-1125 have been below $300 on Slickdeals recently.

This Dell Inspiron 5410 is a way better buy at the same price: https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/by9z

The Dell has these advantages:
- Much better build quality (aluminium top and keyboard deck, vs IdeaPad's all-plastic), thinner bezels
- Newer-gen processor, way faster processor even though it's an i3 vs Lenovo's i5: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...3542vs3995
- Wide-viewing-angle display, IPS or equivalent (unclear if the IdeaPad has a TN or IPS display)
- About 2x the graphics performance from the integrated graphics
- Backlit keyboard
- USB-C supporting power and display output
- Almost certainly a larger battery (IdeaPad 3i specs are not on PSREF but typically they have around 40 WHr, vs Dell's 54)
- Easier RAM upgrade (I believe - again, not 100% as it's not on PSREF - that the Lenovo has 4GB soldered + 4GB in its only RAM slot, so you need to throw out the 4GB to upgrade, whereas the Dell has 8GB in one slot and an open slot)

The only downside is half the SSD storage, but that's an easy and cheap upgrade.

I have the Dell and it's a very nice computer for the price - better in nearly every way than this IdeaPad.

Good finding. It's one of the few choices that have USB-C DP and PD under $500. Wish it's 15" with numeric keypad.

They make a 15.6-inch version with choice of Intel or AMD.

Battery life of any laptop depends hugely on your use. I get about 6-10 hours out of the Inspiron 5410. It will certainly be significantly longer than on the IdeaPad 3i, because of the newer/more efficient processor and larger battery.

I actually bought that very model from Walmart, refurbished. Not because I needed but because when checked from my laptop it was out of stock and from my cell it was available, still. So, just for the giggles, I bought it from my cell and I actually got it. It's the blue model and it's mint, not a single scratch anywhere. That 11th gen i5 is quite capable, specially when running at full speed (4.2Ghz) plugged in, on Best Performance mode. The RAM is soldered but 16Gb is plenty for normal tasks and 512Gb storage is more than enough. There is a second NVMe slot, empty, easy accessible from the back.
Mine came with some weird Win 10 Home that couldn't be activated no matter what. I called Walmart Customer Service and they refund me $115 for a new Windows 10 Home license, since that's what Walmart has on their website. Took me almost a week on the phone, chat and emails w Gateway to finally get a new product key that worked and a fresh Win 10 Home install and now I have a pretty capable i5 laptop for $220.
Hard to beat that price, even for a refurb.
