Just a reminder that this is a deal thread for a Lenovo product. If you don't like the merchant/brand, simply TD and move on to a thread you might like better. Using the deal thread to post negative comments/opinions having to do with China and/or the CCP is not the point of this platform.
While Lenovo does manufacture their products in China, they also have plants in the United States, India, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. Let's move on. Thanks!

For the record, only difference between i5 and i7 (11/12 gen) is a couple MB of cache. U processors are 2 Performance + 8 efficiency core, P is 4P+8E cores. However, battery sucks on P28 cores (12 or 13th generation). Check out https://ark.intel.com for all CPU specs.

Also, my ethnicity and experience with China and Vietnam does indeed mean I know how the CCP operate.
You can dismiss it now, but one day when it happens (and it will), you will be the idiot. Just hope you amount to a nobody and they won't target you even if they have your information.

So I would say it wouldn't work since the purchase has to be through Lenovo website directly as stated on offer terms. YMMV.

Would definitely jump on this if it wasn't up to my needs anymore.

"The smaller chassis also results in a reduced keyboard size, which can be noticed at many spots: The upper row of function keys is slimmer (8 vs. 10 mm on the X1 Carbon), the regular letter keys are smaller (15x15 vs. 16x16 mm on the X1 Carbon) and some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard are even narrower at just 12 mm. The reason is the limited chassis width of the X1 Nano so we can understand this compromise. We also believe you will get used to it after a little adjustment period.
The bigger problem is the key travel. Lenovo has already reduced the key travel on the X1 Carbon from 1.8 mm to 1.5 mm two generations ago, which is definitely noticeable during typing. The new X1 Nano (and also the upcoming X1 Carbon G9 and X1 Yoga G6) only gets 1.35 mm key travel. This does not sound like a big difference, but it is clearly perceptible. The familiar rich feedback is gone and it is the worst ThinkPad keyboard you can get in terms of typing experience. Even entry-level models from the ThinkPad E and L-series have an advantage in this respect.
In isolation, the keyboard is not bad, because the key stroke is still very precise and there is no clattering. You also get used to the keyboard pretty quickly. We did use it to write some texts and it was okay, but the problem is when you go back to another ThinkPad (in our case a ThinkPad X1 Carbon G7) and you immediately notice that the quality of the new keyboard is worse. The trend towards slimmer devices seems to be unstoppable, but we believe Lenovo unnecessarily gives up a major strength of previous ThinkPad generations.
The keyboard of the X1 Nano is still better compared to the Fujitsu LifeBook or the MacBook Air, but the input devices of the Dell XPS 13 and the HP Elite Dragonfly are not worse. The ThinkPad X13 on the other hand has a better keyboard.
Lenovo uses two different suppliers for the keyboard. our review unit is equipped with the model from Chicony, but there is another version from Lite-On. At this point we cannot say if and how the two versions differ.
As per usual, the keyboard is spill-water resistant and equipped with a two-stage background illumination."
then in the verdict
"The much bigger issue is the keyboard. It is saller than usual and has reduced key travel. The keyboard is still good and offers a precise key stroke, but the typing experience is worse compared to any other ThinkPad. The keyboard used to be a highlight of a ThinkPad in the past, but this is not the case here. Maybe you will not even notice this if you come from another manufacturer, but long-term ThinkPad users will notice the difference immediately.
The X1 nano is still a very good business subnotebook if you can live with the keyboard in favor of a very light and compact device. If you want to purchase a ThinkPad because of the high keyboard quality, however, we recommend you should get a model from the T or X-series, which will probably get a 16:10 update this year as well."
So tempted to purchase at this price but I say you have to go with 12th gen
