I did all the research so you don't have to (mostly cross-shopping with Surface detachables)

Pros:
Included backlit keyboard is detachable and has internal battery and bluetooth (Surface keyboards must be attached to work)
Latest 12th-gen Intel processor with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores
Good remarks on screen
Full-blown Windows 11

Cons:
128gb SSD, non-upgradeable and no microSD slot
8gb soldered RAM
Has a fan which is reported louder than Surface Pro 8/9 i5 models (probably quieter than i7 models)
Some Lenovo bloatware
No included pen

In the end the fan killed it for me so I went with a Surface Pro 7+ instead 🤷

If I was a normal person and not a stickler for the fan noise, I would only consider the $413 open box units due to the 128gb/8gb limitations on storage and memory. This is likely not suited for heavy usage as a primary computer due to those limitations, but would be a nice $413 occasional-use tablet.

The Dell Latitude 7320s for ~$400 were a better deal than this. The same seller has some slightly better 7320s going for 500 now, if you would rather have a larger, brighter, more durable display and don't need the keyboard included.

This one's included keyboard having a backlight and wireless functionality is pretty freakin' cool, though.
