Your comment cannot be blank.

Upgradable RAM, one sodimm slot!

TN display though.
YMMV, but with the PayPal/Honey extension for Chrome I was offered a $200 GC for $182.74 and another $99.99 GC for $91.36, so my actual OTD price for this laptop was $274.10.

I couldn't find the exact part number (82RK001HUS) on Lenovo's site, but on the page for the 82RK001BUS [lenovo.com] (maybe the different # is due to the Abyss blue vs Arctic grey color?) it says the display is 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, Anti-Glare, Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz, LED Backlight. So maybe the display is better than advertised? I doubt it, but I'll update after I pick mine up tomorrow.

This also has an HDMI 1.4b port and a full-sized SD card slot, both of which I find useful and not always present.



To answer smartdeals question, the spec sheet [lenovo.com] says 8GB is soldered and there's a SO-DIMM slot for another 8GB.



Apologies to thelegaldreamteam if this really is a repost. I searched all over before posting but could have missed something.

Looks like for $45 more, this one gets a slightly more powerful i3 processor and a backlit keyboard over the $255 HP that is also listed on Office Depot.

The ram, screen, storage are the same.

Is it better than the $299 deal on this from the other day? Trying to stay around $300 for a basic laptop but I don't even know where to start. 😭

You mean the displays are the exact same or this one possibly has a better TN display?

I was looking at that ASUS too, but didn't place an order soon enough. I think the two are very comparable.

The CPU (i3-1220P) for the ASUS Vivobook 15-Slim-F1502ZA benchmarks a bit better than the Lenovo (i3-1215U), but both are modern 12-gen processors. The other specs are pretty much the same.

I've had a number of Lenovos and like their build quality so I pulled the trigger on this one for my daughter.

P series generates more heat so tends to have more fan noise.
