That was a year ago.
For anyone looking for such a laptop on a budget, it's still a good deal.

Can anyone remind me which Lenovo models have the defective hinges that break the screen? Or if it is easier, which ones don't?

The specs on this are pretty good, especially at this price point based on the last several laptop deals that have popped up. At this price, most laptops have been coming with 8gb RAM and 256 GB SSD

Unfortunately it's mainly the Ideapad series.

You can go through the reviews in the deal's link and see if anyone has reported such an issue for this particular model.

How do they get to 12GB of RAM? Probably no dual channel then.

Is this a good laptop for a 13 y/o who wants to start coding? Is this Lenovo with 12GB RAM better than this with 8GB?

This deal is far better for just $20 more.
You get a back-lit keyboard, Intel Iris Xe graphics which idk why the Costco one doesn't have it mentioned, and most importantly more RAM.

Both laptops would do coding just fine but I'd suggest you to get this one as this is a much better deal overall, is more future proof-ed, and more RAM would be beneficial for advanced coding.

My LENOVO IDEAPAD 5 15.6" did that. One day it just wouldn't open. The screen started coming apart when I tried. Thankfully I bought it at Costco. The free second year warranty covered it.

Oh that's interesting. I've heard Costco won't warrant the hinge issue.
