Wish the higher battery capacity was an option, looks like this config only gets a "up to 6hr" battery rating on MobileMark: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/...A_Spec.pdf

Thanks for pointing out the battery size. That's not much for a powerhouse CPU like this one has.

That CPU is very power efficient and you'll still get decent battery life from that, unlike Intel 11th and 12th Gen. Battery size does matter but it depends on a lot of other factors as well, like the CPU used and the optimization done by the manufacturers to reduce power draw in idle state etc. You will still get 5 hours + with normal work. I have used HP Pavilion 15 with 5700U, which has a 51 Whr battery, not much bigger than this and if you reduce the display brightness and set it to HP's battery saver mode, it goes over 6 hours easy.

You still have the 8GB soldered RAM so If you feel like doing a little work, wouldn't it be better to skip the 8GB SODIMM?

It depends on what is more important to you. The Dell seems better if you are looking for a graphics card (which a lot of people will shun for only being 2GB or because of the model or because they did not have cereal that morning (or had too much)).
The Dell seems to be a 3525 which means is in the lower tier of the Dell laptops (3000, 5000, and 7000 series) and as such these laptops tend to have plastic body and no backlit keyboard. The Lenovo, on the other side has an aluminum body and backlit keyboard (but no dedicated graphics card).
The Dell has touchscreen while the Lenovo does not.
Also, on the Dell you will be able to expand the RAM (if you decide to do so) in matched increments while the Lenovo will be unmatched past 16GB (because of the 8GB soldered).
At the end of the day, it depends on what you want the computer for. Will you be a PC mid to low race (because you cannot be master race with a laptop, I guess) or a content creator that needs at least a dedicated video card? If yes, get the Dell (although the RGB coverage is not specified and most likely 45%. You will see at least one person talking about this Dell having a dim screen and how an HDMI 1.4 is bad). Are you planning on using the laptop for office work and media consumption? If yes, probably the Lenovo with a simpler configuration could be a better deal (because you could also get a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 3 and lower the price in this deal).
I hope this helps.

$616 w/ shipping available is a great deal for that Samsung! My brother has one and loves it. In the past, he would ignore his Windows laptop (a pretty nice Lenovo) in favor of his iPad Pro, but now he said he enjoys the Samsung enough that it's his go-to, instead of the iPad.

Thoughts on this model versus the $600 Lenovo Flex 5 at Costco? I was just about to pull the trigger on that one. This is for my college freshman. I suspect that either will more than meet his needs, but I suppose I'm most focused on reliability and durability.

If you do not care about the upgradeable memory and the HDMI 1.4 port, you can definitely go for the Flex 5 which has a better screen.

I will go with think book model.
Better build quality, Expandable memory. Newer processor.
Lacks touch screen and convertible, similar batter life.
I would say screen is similar. You won't be able to notice difference.

Be careful with Lenovo's CTO (Customize to Order). I ordered a ThinkPad over a month ago. Ordered and paid for 300 nits display. When I looked up the Serial number on their support site, I found they stuffed a 250 nits screen in there. I guess it could happen with any of their laptops, customized on not.

They are bulding another one and shipping it from China. You keep the one they originally sent until you receive the replacement. Expect at least a month every time they build and ship from over there. Time will tell if I get the right screen this go around. They don't want to do the exchange to quickly. Said I got what I ordered because the serial number on the machine matched that of the invoice. Couldn't grasp what was in it was incorrect. So they cancelled the first request. Second time was a charm. The promissed a $51 inconvience refund. Still waiting on that and the replacement.

Why spend $147 on an additional 8gb of ram and $73 for an additional 256gb, also 45whr is awfully small for a 15 inch device, perhaps it has a 2.5 ssd slot in which a bigger battery can be upgraded, not finding a review.

Idk if this is how it works with modern laptop but my laptop has a small battery with a free 2.5 inch ssd bay that can be upgraded to a bigger battery and it occupies the ssd bay ,surely worth the investment if this is the case

Honestly, if you're capable enough to install your own RAM, can omit adding that extra 8GB...$147 price hike is ridiculous.

With the config I had, it was $537 pre-tax. Save more with CB sites (ie Top...) and even paypal payment (check their deals).

Get your own additional 8GB RAM for what...$30 more?

Ends up being around $550 total for me...rather slick.
