Great to see 12th Gen laptops hitting this price level. However, this has a 220nits 1080P TN panel.
The 8GB 3200 MHz RAM is soldered, but there is an empty SODIIMM slot for upgrade.

Just unboxed this thing and set it up. Pretty much everything I expected was confirmed, but it was slightly better than expected. It's fast and light, and the keyboard and the touchpad are very good quality (esp for the price). As reported by others and reviews, the screen isn't great. Contrast is awful and it's not super vivid. And colors are slightly off, even after calibrating color a bit. But: the anti-glare is very effective, and it is bright enough to use outdoors or in bright areas. If you want to watch movies or do any video/photo editing as a primary function, you might not be satisfied with this screen. But for a general productivity machine that's pretty fast, very portable, and near bargain-basement pricing, it definitely meets my needs. Not saying I wouldn't pay $50 more for a significant upgrade in color & contrast, but for $270, it's hard to complain too much. I've never gotten this much for this little on a regular sale for a new laptop.

Update: I'm finding it difficult to open up the bottom to access the rumored extra DIMM slot. It seems harder than usual to open up, I'm concerned that it may not be upgradable. Can anyone confirm if this laptop does indeed have an extra memory slot that is accessible without damaging the device? I'm afraid to break it.

Probably a good idea. Target's extended return has already started.

"For all electronics and entertainment items (excluding Apple® products) purchased between Oct. 6-Dec. 25, the 30-day refund period will start on Dec. 26 and must be returned by Jan. 24."

Good for ~$260 price point (after all discounts)

Cons per my view:
- TN panel screen
- No backlit keyboard as per details on the Specifications page

Given the current state of PC sales, I hope better deals will be available around thanksgiving.

This is actually a pretty nice laptop for the price. The CPU alone is about 3 times more powerful compared to the laptop I am using right now and I paid $300 for this like 4 years ago. Very tempting.

That's a crazy good deal. We paid the same price for a 4GB/32GB Lenovo Chromebook about 15 months ago.

But that screen isn't worth the savings. Save your self before you save the money.

Lenovo only acknowledges the existence of a Celeron N5100 model when searching their website, as far as I can tell. Garbage website.

I think this is the correct spec sheet, found by Googling "Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 1215U":
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/...7_Spec.pdf

Indicates it can take an 8 GB stick for a total of 16 GB. However: "The max memory is based on the test results with current Lenovo® memory offerings. The system may support more memory as the technology develops." So why not shove a 32 GB stick in and see what happens.

The soldered RAM is labeled as DDR4-3200 when it would have to be LPDDR4(X) AFAIK. Those are not the same thing.

That's about right. Roughly speaking, Moore's Law says the CPU should double every two years... so four years later, it should be four times more powerful.

This is a great deal for a budget laptop for everyday use. The CPU is better than the 11th gen i5. I think if deals like this are coming out now... we'll probably see similar deals, but with better screen/ram later. Luckily, I don't need to swap out my laptop right away so I'm going to wait to see what pops up closer to black friday.
