You've never tried to file a claim with AllState's worthless warranty. I could tell you a couple long stories on a few laptops that arrived broken through eBay and the run arounds and the finger pointing on who is liable. They'll actually want you to file a claim through the shipper (UPS) first, even though I could prove they were not damaged by shipping. eBay will NOT help you with the warranty madness. But dont take my word on it, just read the comments from the last 5 years at https://www.facebook.com/AllstateProtectionPlans

Asurion, who Amazon uses, is much much easier to deal with.

Well, Ebay Certified Refurbished 2 year warranty through Allstate is very tempting.

Compared to Amazon's 90 day policy on refurbished (unless you spend $63.99 on an extended warranty), eBay is the better deal.

Your story doesn't compute; received purchased item damaged in shipping has NOTHING to do with warranty claim (neither would UPS). Seller, then Ebay, and then payment form (PayPal and/or credit card bank) would be ones to issue refund and handle this.

Also, your link to warranty co.'s FB page doesn't seem to provide any insight.

Allstate Warranty might indeed be awful (or, alternatively, wonderful), but unfortunately no way to gauge from info you provided...
Their warranty is fine. Last time I filed a claim they sent a check as the resolution.

I agree with this. With a refurb, if the item arrives damaged or nonworking (whether or not it's obvious shipping damage), you deal with the seller. The extended warranty is for issues that crop up after the fact.

Anyone bought laptops from this seller before?

Tempted to jump on this.
Just bought one from them about a week ago, "last one" they had on a batch of i5 Flex 5i's. Arrived timely, packaged well, and in good condition. My daughter has been using it for a Linux course since we received it and it seems to be performing well. Haven't seen any issues to this point anyway. Battery seems to be in good shape, we've used it a fair amount on battery power.

if you're talking about this one : https://www.costco.com/lenovo-ide...57939.html

Costco is only 14 inches while this one is 16 inches.
The Costco resolution also is only 1920x1200 vs this one is 2560x1600.
Looks like the Costco one also only has Intel UHD Graphics vs this one is Intel Iris XE

Ah you're right, didn't realize the screen size was different and the others you mentioned as well. Now this makes my decision harder.

Edit: Actually the costco one is the Iris graphics as well.

Hmm that Costco one got me wondering which to get. I kinda want the more traditional aspect ratio and it being new instead of refurb. I was looking for 14" anyways. The 14" one here is $45 cheaper but refurb.

Nvm seems the refurb is still 16:10 but just a strange resolution between 1080p and 1440p

How does this compare to Lenovo Flex 5 14" Touchscreen 2-in-1 Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U - 1200p - Windows 11 from Costco at $599?

A little more $$$ for a new Costco backed laptop.

The code didn't work for me on the 5i on eBay. I like the specs and would buy it with the coupon -- it is a slickdeal. But given that the regular price on Amazon appears to be $549, I'll hold out for later to get closer to the $400 price point.
