I would be patient and wait for black friday. retailers are going to be dumping this year I think. amazon had to run a second massive prime day due to overstock. retailers already offering "black friday" deals before halloween.
I know you want touchscreen, but here's another example of a good cheap laptop:

thx... I certainly want to have a touch screen since I plan to keep what other PC I purchased for years to come
my personal opinion is that touchscreen on windows/chromebook is useless on anything above a tablet size
and 13.3 is a bit too big to be used as a tochscreen device, but as long as you are happy that is all that matters

imo this is too big/heavy (5.06lbs) even for a 15.6" (also too big for portability in my opinion) but great if you need the numpad and are using it as a stationary device...

1.7GHz? Is that correct? Seems slow for a 12th Gen i5.

This was a FP deal at $700 just two months ago. What's up with the fire sales on 12th-gen laptops ffs???
Acer set the early alarm off over the summer stating how PC sales were slumping, then Intel's number's have been very low and disappointing, now M$ sounding the alarm PC sales are down. Buckle in for some great BF sales and big sales early next year before they rush 13th gen out.

I'll add that the CPU may be weaker but more power efficient (doesn't necessarily translate to more battery but definitely less heat which is important for longetivity). Also the screen display is slightly less screen area sure BUT the 13.3 is actually TALLER due to the 16:10 ratio (a ratio most business notebooks and monitors use). The resolution is also higher on the 13.3 and because its slightly less area it had HIGHER pixel density. Unless you have a true need for Thunderbolt 4 or a huge desire, I'd lean for the 13.3 inch despite 20% more expensive. I'd reckon it will last longer and I consider it a better balanced notebook.

It states, "Killer WiFi 6E AX1675 (2x2)"

Is that a warning relating to some deadly high frequency signals that will make one insane in the membrane?

There are only 80 EU in Iris XE in 1240P. This one has 96? Is it a special edition?

I think that is a mistake... the spec of the 1240P is 80 Execution units.

Looking 4 a replacement for my Dell Inspiron 13 7000 series with Intel i5 I got back 2015. Anyone have experience to share regarding this particular PC?

will this be a better alternative? https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/16125529

thx in advance : )
generally speaking with MSI laptops, they tend to be built pretty good, and do consider heat dissipation but...

they normally have a lot of bloatware installed... so you will have to do a clean install most likely as soon as you get it
