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.

Not only the CPU improvement, Intel Iris Xe in 11th i5 improves significantly too. It's now comparable with AMD integrated graphics.
Some laptops with i3-1125 have been below $300 on Slickdeals recently.

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.cpubenchmar
- 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.

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.
