Bought and picked up. I'm impressed so far. Touchscreen, lighted keyboard, fingerprint sensor, small charger, it's checking the boxes.
Have you tried charging via USB-C port?

Wow

What do you guys think about this Gateway with a AMD Ryzen 7 for the same price?? Which is the best deal?

Is this much better than the i3 11th Gen Asus Vivobook that was on here a couple of weeks ago from Office Depot for $200? I ended up buying that one and added 32GB of Ram (40GB of Ram total now). I plan on using it for photo and video editing. That type of work is a Ram hog. I'm worried that if I grab this one I'll have an issue with Ram or will the better CPU justify the upgrade?

Also, what would happen if I added my 32GB of Ram I just bought to this pc? Would it negatively effect it? I'm not sure I can return that now.

They are almost the same in performing single-core tasks, but this i5 is at least 50%-60% stronger in application utilizing multi-core (2 cores vs 4 cores). For tasks like photo and video editing, this i5 should be much more capable.
I guess no one here can be 100% sure in answering you for adding a 32GB stick to this, but I would say this should support.

The price of this deal is tough to beat and gives some insight as to what BF 2022 may offer, sets the bar to not offer anything with lower specs than this deal for the same price.

10th Gen i3, Yes ,in last few months, with 4GB/128GB. For Core i5, no chance!
After BF 2019, during which many received their HP laptops with Core i5 instead of Core i3 (due to whatever shortage there was), did HP or any other manufacturer offer computers with Core i5 for the price of Core i3?

IIRC, the first sale of that HP laptop (before BF 2019) was for $279 and the second sale was for $299 (pre-tax). That was a nice Costco deal (especially after upgrading RAM and SSD).

i would have got this over the gateway i5 deal. Unfortunately already purchased it. Similar specs but was a bit cheaper. This looks better build quality and a more reputable company.

Does it have metal body or plastic body? The build quality looks solid in pictures. How does it look on hand?

I'm looking for a laptop to learn programming for 4-6 hours at Starbucks. Would this be sufficient?
No. This model will only work at Dunkin Donuts.
