This is still totally worth trying 1240p processor +16gb ram + fingerprint + backlight. There were several complaints from ppl about varying issues. The only issue I had was that I couldn't verify that windows 11 noticed my thunderbolt ports/devices when using the intel thunderbolt command center, so I downgraded to windows 10 and the app works properly. All of my devices did work in windows 11, but it was weird they didnt show up in the intel app - I had a dell with windows 11 and USB4/thunderbolt 4 ports and all the devices showed up.
Anyways great device and great price - I would definitely go for it again, even with the slightly increased price. If you get a dud you would immediately notice it and can always return it too.

this feels like a solid deal over Costco's Lenovo Flex 5 @ $399? (costco does have 90 days return)
Between this and HP Victus 15.6" @ $499?
