Part number is not found anywhere but Micro Center. Is this model specific to MC? No reviews? Is this any good?

This looks like a solid deal given the specs and latest gen processor.

This, or the yoga 7i for $100 more?
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/leno.../6502225.p

Or the MSI for the same price?

Ugh decisions decisions, any recommendations would be appreciated.

What's your primary use case? If you're going to do any gaming or graphic design/video editing, then the MSI would be ideal with the Intel Arc GPU. If build quality and better screen/resolution fit your bill then the yoga 7i would be ideal. If you just want an all around decent laptop for everyday tasks, then this IdeaPad would be great. It also comes with a larger SSD. Both the IdeaPad and yoga 7i are touchscreen too.

Primary use case for work, screen quality is probably the most important. Mainly brightness for PDF/PPT presentations

That yoga i7 will have the best screen by far and the build quality will be more professional for a work environment. It will feel the most premium out of all 3 options.

Thanks for your input, I just wish it was rated here on Slickdeals so I'd know whether it's a good price or not haha

I think it's a good deal for a more premium laptop. Slickdeals misses deals all the time.

*edit, here's a similar laptop (except for more RAM, faster processor, and larger SSD) which was posted recently and it's much more expensive and yet still very popular on Slickdeals for that post. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/809374

Specs looks solid. The only downside for me is RAM. Its LPDDR (Low Power), probably BGA soldered and NOT upgradable.
