Deal Details
Today at 1pm Eastern Time, Lenovo has the Ideapad 3i available with the following specs:
  • 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, Anti-Glare, Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz, LED Backlight
  • 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i3-1215U Processor (E-cores up to 3.30 GHz P-cores up to 4.40 GHz)
  • 512 GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 QLC
  • 8 GB DDR4-3200MHz (Soldered)
  • Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics for 12th Gen Intel® Processors
  • Windows 11 Home 64
  • Fingerprint Reader
  • Backlit Keyboard
  • Wi-Fi 6 2x2 AX & Bluetooth® 5.1 or above
I've been comparing this deal to several others:This laptop checks all the boxes, I think: USB-C port, IPS display, and the CPU is better than the Microcenter Dell deal for the same price according to https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...e-i3-1215u

Definitely curious to hear what others' thoughts are between now and 1pm EST.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

According to a comment in the thread for that deal (https://slickdeals.net/f/16208437-hp-laptop-intel-core-i3-1125g4-15-6-1080p-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-win-11-249-99-free-shipping-staples) it's also an IPS screen. But 256GB SSD vs 512GB, HP vs Lenovo (my wife's HP was a piece of junk, but admittedly that's only one data point - but I've owned/purchased several Lenovos for myself and family and never had any issues). Also, the CPU in the Lenovo is better: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...-i3-1125g4 ...so it's a matter of deciding if the brand, extra 256GB storage, and better CPU are worth another $100.

Isn't this a touch screen and the staples one is not ? That's a major difference apart from the CPU.

Thanks, in for 1! I guess Walmart makes more sense for easier returns in case something better pops up this weekend.

Is 8GB RAM enough? I have an ideapad Flex 5 w/16GB w/11th Gen i7 (Running Win 10 Pro) but it's suffering from the stupid left hinge defect so I'm going to have to send it in for warranty repairs and need a capable backup while it's gone (just using internet/cloud, no onboard software other than FireFox etc).

Any idea how OP deal would compare?

I don't think so. 1 TB HDD, backlit keyboard and i5 are extra, but you may get better deal on cyber monday.

As per Lenevo, Up to 16GB RAM of which 8GB is soldered and you can buy another 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200
