Pretty good deal. Drops down to $881.49 with Perks at Work. Potential downsides: glossy screen, soldered RAM, and (subjectively) worse keyboard than ThinkPad series. If none of these bother you, it's a great thin & light laptop.

Let's be real though no laptop can really touch the keyboard on the TP series it's kind of what they are known for.
The 90hz screen is real treat here. I have the 16 inch version with 60hz and think that's the only real weakness on the laptop.
Battery life on mine is decent but not great. Getting 8-9 hours of real world usage on 60% brightness. Mine has a bigger battery with same CPU and RAM however.
Price update: $820 thru Lenovo. $800 thru perks at work. Prices good thru Sun, November 20.
I got 2021 version of this laptop thru Walmart at $700 last BF but with a 128GB SDD instead of the 1GB SDD included in this offer.
Performance has been solid. Batt life could be a little better, guess the screen power demand is higher than usual. If you are looking for a brighter screen with better color accuracy, I'd definitely consider this one.
