300 nit display. I don't find much ,of anything wrong with this at this price point. Beware, I believe some of the models on the IdeaPad line have faulty hinges that breaks the screen as others here have stated that it did not fall under warranty, even with Costco (which was surprising to me)

Beware: Poorly built laptop. I bought this one from Costco and one of the hinges broke just a bit after the first 90-days return period. The touch screen popped out and cracked due to the broken hinge, making the laptop inoperable. Mad Both Lenovo and Costco shrugged off ANY accountability. Total loss of $800 overnight.

It would be advisable to spend another $99 (Costco protection plan) to buy the peace of mind!

Battery seems poor at only 3 cell. Not sure how much use you will get or how long it will last. Typically 6 or 8 is recommended.

Dispute it with your credit card. Say the vendor sold you broken equipment and will not honor their warranty

My last Lenovo from Costco had the hinge issue. Laptop ruined. I don't think I can risk buying another of these at any price.

So I bought this and returned it the same day. I wasn't crazy about the build. But the kicker was that the thing only works if plugged in. It wouldn't charge the battery. After an hour of updates and settings, I decided this was not the way to start with a new piece of tech

Plastic. Their pro model is the nicer aluminum build with glossy screen

I bought this just over 3 months ago and absolutely love it. Paid $200 more. At this price it's a no brained. I'm going to try to price match but I'm sure they won't let me.

Yes I bought mine back in November and really like it overall. Solid screen, good keyboard, nice construction. I'm a big fan of USB-C proprietary charging and I'm glad to see Lenovo going in this direction too!
