What do you guys think? This pretty much checks all the boxes for me. IPS screen and backlit KB as well. Would these specs come down further?

My perspective is that it's a pretty awesome computer. Fast. Touchscreen. works with Surface pens. You can fold it in such a way that it's a propped tablet for touch-only situations. It has a Windows Hello camera.
The only negative for me is that when it runs hard, it'll blow very hot air out the back and depending on how you have it positioned (i.e., in your lap), it can get very uncomfortable. In a way that would never happen with my Surface Pro 8.
But alas, the machine was intended for my aunt. And my aunt thought the machine was too big and heavy. I personally thought that for the screen size, it's not bad at all. So it's went back to BB.
I ended up getting her a refurbished Surface Pro 7 for the same price. I had wanted her to get a bigger screen because I figured at her age, her eyes would be bad. The x360 did feel faster than the Surface Pro 7 with i5. But she actually loves the Surface Pro 7. Go figure.
It's funny because I'm a huge Surface Pro fan but I never push that onto people unless I know their personalities and that they're techies. But she somehow gravitated to it (I gave her a list of choices at that price point with touchscreen/pen support that she wanted and a small lightweight body).
I think the Ideapad is just a regular laptop. It doesn't fold back like the HP. I also don't think it has pen support. The body design for the Lenovo looks kind of meh and Lenovo keyboards kind of suck (though the HP keyboard wasn't that great).
