Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Some things worth noting, which might be considered cons by some people:

1: this doesn't have WiFi 6E
2: this has PCIe 3.0 and not 4.0
3: the display does exhibit PWM which might be problematic for sensitive users

Other than that, it's a premium device and this is the lowest it has been available for.

Also it's currently not in stock, a special order once you add to cart. So chances aren't too great to get it.

This very same model is usually made on special order at majority of the other retailers too, as the normal configurations maxes out at i7-1255U.

Also, it states order processing to be within 1-2 days. It won't take long to ship it after then. So, I don't think that's much of a problem.

Let's hope so - although have my doubts since ProVantage is known for cancelling special order items that are decently priced.

Yeah, I'd second you on that. They've done that on some, but not all, of the previous deals.
Hopefully they won't do it this time.

Just got an ETA from them - July 26. Doesn't look too great.

Umm isn't that usually the case with Lenovo customized laptops too? They usually mention 1-2 months but it's well-known that it mostly arrives before that.

Nonetheless, thank you for finding out the ETA for us. Appreciated.

Yes, this is the cheapest looking at the configuration.

One of the better laptops I have. Only problem is that it has 1 USBC port and 1 USBA. I also hate their charging option.. I'd rather have another USBC that has the option to charge..

Just missing finger print and it'd be my forever laptop. Lol still my best laptop compared to Dell XPS and HP elitebook and Lenovo X1

I've been using a Surface Laptop 4 13.5 inch and I absolutely love it. This one is the same form factor with just some tech upgrades like thunderbolt. I tried the 9315 Dell XPS, Lenovo X1 Carbon and an Asus with OLED screen and I prefer the Surface Laptop. Great weight and love the 3:2 screen and premium finish. I use it to watch movies and the speakers are awesome. Fan really never turns on. I prefer it over my Macbook M1 Air even.
