Does it charge via usb-c?
Looks like nope, USB-C only for data transfer.

Amazon link but for different RAM and SSD and lower screen: Good to see more pictures and reviews

Quote from ChillenAzn :
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.
It's arguably faster than any 11th gen quad-core, with the exception of the graphics (64 EUs in 1215U, vs. 80-96 EUs in some models).

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu....5U&id=4754
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu....Hz&id=4619

The RAM info is a little confusing but having an empty SO-DIMM slot at this price point is more than enough.

In the future, the i3-1215U should hit very low price points. I have always whined about i3-1115G4 dual-cores, no such whining is necessary for the 1215U which is the direct successor of that chip.

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."

Yup. Good for Netflix, office, email, pay bills etc. Good for the next 6 years or until the laptop dies.

5% would only be applied to the $1, so you would get a nickle off the purchase.

Per Targets website https://www.target.com/redcard/en...gram-rules "If you use a RedCard in the same purchase transaction with another form of payment, the 5% discount will apply only to the purchase amount tendered to your RedCard."

Last week I picked up this Asus open box https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...pp_android

Tempted to return for this Lenovo due to the upgradeable ram. Should I? Mostly for work, but I do like to game.
