Oddly ships with a barrel charger but charges just fine using USB C so I do not understand why they wasted money having both ports.
Performance wise I can run Far Cry 5 at low settings, most any game older / less demanding than that should be GTG as well. A 'Far Cry' beyond the

I bought one of those refurbs. This one from Costco isn't a refurb, so it shouldn't have all of the issues I had with mine, but...
The hinges on this really worry me. Do a google image search for "lenovo flex hinges broken" and witness the horror.
The screen on mine is relatively heavy and the hinges barely keep it upright. At the same time, if they were tighter, I worry they might break the plastic body.
Screen color is bland and it's dark. Good for indoor office work but I wouldn't want to use it all the time.
The CPU and performance is pretty good. Not having WiFi6/AX is retarded.
The keyboard is shallow and feels bad to type on. No keyboard back light.
Would I buy at $350? Probably not. It's a $300 laptop at best.

I had a similar one, the hinge has broken within no time. Lenovo fixed it for free but, its not worth going through that hassle.
Its the poor mans macbook air, with 16 hr battery life.
Place a silicone keyboard cover for the kitchen and you good to go.
These $260-400 Frontpage toy laptops by lenovo, gateway, hp break in half with normal use. A grade Intel 12th surrounded by grade C plastic casing. I would never buy solder 8gb ram on a windows if you upgrade you os and load apps. 16gb solder minimum.
