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.

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.

Would be a real deal if it were IPS at least, if not backlit

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.
