Good build quality - this has similar materials and feels a bit more solid than the 7000-series convertible I just got (7425), which has more keyboard flex
Decent screen for the price - mediocre color coverage, but far better contrast and viewing angles than TN screens you usually see at this price
Good port selection and full-service USB-C
Upgradability with 2 SODIMM slots, 1 of them free
Reliable Intel wifi chip (I can't stand the flaky Realtek chips found on many cheap laptops)
Good battery life thanks to fairly large battery
Good keyboard feel (decent amount of travel and a good balance between cushiness and tactility)
Nice "quality of life" features like backlit keyboard and fingerprint reader built into power button
Quiet fan
The only real downside is that it runs fairly hot on the bottom, so not great for on-lap use. However, Dell's Power Manager (download from Windows Store) has thermal profiles, allowing you to choose more performance, less noise, or less heat.
Dell is also selling the 5410 with the 11300H processor and 512GB SSD for $80 more. However, I do not recommend that model as it's not significantly faster and the H-series processor will certainly run hotter. Also, that one has its 8GB RAM split between 2 SODIMMs, so to upgrade you'll need to toss one or both.
ETA: Here's a YouTube review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1BydFw

I can't tell you why it includes barrel-type AC adapter when USB-C supports PD but it does. I'm typing this on the 5410 right now with USB-C powering it. Having 2 USB-C ports would obviously be better, but this is still better than just 1 USB-C, since you're not forced to take out the power adapter any time you want to use the USB-C for something else.

The single core performance on the 1115G4 is faster. 1125G4 just has more cores.

The build quality on this is significantly better than the HP i3 that always pops up at Costco and previously walmart and target.
I have to TD this deal because of the screen. The Dell depot mistakenly replaced my panel with this 250 nit screen and I noticed during POST. Dell promptly fixed the issue for me but with this low end screen at $400, this isn't a screaming deal at all. At $325 would be great, at $300 or less would be amazing. If it had the better screen the current price would be Ok.
I got mine Xmas eve '21 for like $295, was a steal.
edit: mine came with 4GB, that I upgraded to 12 and 128GB nvme which I've swapped with 1TB. With these specs I'd likely do the same upgrades so that's a constant.

The 5410 is similar to the 5402, the main difference being that the keys and keyboard deck are grey. The silver keys on the 5402 were difficult to see.

^ Service manual, seems pretty straightforward to work on.
I work K-12 IT, and interestingly, our custom Dell deals website is just a redirect to these same deals.
