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.

Just bought one, using citi card for extra 2 yr warranty > 5% off from Red card (~$14), will this be the right way to pay?

Also, to buy a RAM to add, should I buy a 8GB to make it total to $16, or just buy a $16 one to replace the original one?

Thanks!
You cannot replace the original 8GB, it's soldered. You may add a stick of 8GB SODIMM, to make it 16GB totally with dual-channel.
However, I strongly believe that it could support a 16GB stick or even a 32GB stick.

In for one. Should be a nice boost over my current walmart gateway ryzen 3 3200u with an ever growing keyboard bubble/tumor which is displacing the trackpad lid.

The ram chip is soldered onto the motherboard directly, There is NO stick. That's why it is NOT replaceable.

You can add a stick of ram since there is one ram slot for that purpose only.

Edit: the soldered ram chips could be 4 x 2GBs for single channel, we don't know unless been opened it up and see. If you add a stick of ram it will be dual channel which could speed up a bit.

hope this clears the question, sorry just realized what you might be asking.

I need a PC to replacing an aging i5-5200 for general household use and network plex server; doesn't need to be a laptop since I use it only with an external monitor and keyboard/mouse. Is there a better deal price/performance wise? This is $260 after tax with my red card and birthday promo.

Idea might be looking at dellrefurbished.com deals at the desktop computers. They have 50% off some models. Probably be able to get better specs than this laptop for the same price, especially if it's just going to be sitting there, used only with a monitor, and for plex server. This is an entry level i3 processor, but 12-gen seems to be good.

If that's because of a swollen battery then it's a potential bomb

If you just need to achieve dual channel on the ram to have it speed up a tiny bit more, you can get 2, 4, 8, 16, 32GBs all up to you depends on how much more you wish to spend. Otherwise 8GBs is enough.

Yes it should, but why spend so much do you really need that much ram? If you wish to spend 400 dollars you can get better laptop instead of this one.

Quote from kapg :
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.
I never realized how valuable the backlit keyboard is. Not a complete dealbreaker for me, but I'll hold out.

Great value especially if you use external display and kb/mouse. Two ram slots would win me over.
