People were also going crazy over the CPU in the target deal, same CPU as this unit 4c/8t. Most seem convinced they need the cores, me OTOH, I'm all about the display and this one don't got it. December target deal had IPS but it wasn't a great display either.
On 1115G4 threads I was saying 1125G4 or forget about it. And here it is. Yeah, quad-core vs. dual-core will make a difference, although single core speed is slightly down:

As for displays, I just expect trash. At least it's 1080p.

Depends on your workload though. I had both and I don't notice much difference. Ymmv depending on your workload, meanwhile the screen is something I notice continually.

Anyway, since we're not comparing it to any other deal, except maybe the i5, I'm asserting many people, esp buyers of this entry level laptop likely don't need the extra cores. Benchmarks have a purpose but you're quickly dismissing clock speed and putting all the weight on cores/threads which really depends on your workload if you "need" it.

How does this compare to the other current $350 Lenovo ideapad 3 deals?
1) Costco: Pros: Touchscreen :Cons: not FHD
2) B&H: Photo;Pros: FHD IPS Cons: No touchscreen & bad return policy on computers

Any recommendations if this one is better?

The target "deal" had an IPS display which is def worth a premium but the build quality on these entry level HP units is really disappointing. If you do take it apart be really careful not to snap all the cheap plastic clips holding it together.
...
I have bought a unit like this, the display is IPS, they don't spell it out clearly, but it is. Generally, Staples components are slightly better than Target, Target's better than Walmart. Plastic clips are the same everywhere, LOL!

Appears to have no power delivery via USB-C. Also, only 5 Gb/s rate, so no display support. You can hook up other things, just not displays or power.

The quality is identical and dictated by the series of laptop, not the retailer. Also, this screen is almost certainly not IPS, they would spell it out clearly if it was. Look at the target model for an example.

Things like Wi-Fi 6 cards or 1 SODIMM at 3200 vs 2 slower ones - these can vary. Staples/Target ask for better kit than Walmart.

The original price was for an IPS display, people would be returning too many of these if not.

Forgot to add, the fan noise is horrible, and it runs non-stop. The case is poorly ventilated, or the intel chip is way too hot for the environment.

Not debating the different models have different components, like wifi cards, ram, etc. That is clear on the spec pages on hp's site like I posted, but that is not what I'm referring to with build quality. Build quality is the materials used, fit/finish etc, which is identical across retailers given the same model/series.

I owned the Walmart and target laptops and they had different screens, different wifi chips, but the [low end] build quality was the same.

Yes, just won't supply power from the same port so you need to use the barrel connecter in addition to the usb-c.

I agree 100%! The chassis/plastic does not change. This is a lower end model in terms of build quality, no question about it. The fan sound was bad, could be just cr@ppy bearings.
