At the moment, Bestbuy has the open-box Lenovo Ideapad Windows Duet 5i available for as low as $354.99 (fair). (Fair and Satisfactory laptops are YMMV since you can only order them when the store has it in stock)

Unlike the typical Bestbuy open-box deals, the one that is in open-box excellent condition is actually available for shipping at $382.99 (You can see that the "add to cart" button is not greyed out from my screenshot). Though, I don't know how many units they have in stock.

The price is pretty decent for a 2-in-1 I would say. Previously, it was a popular deal when it was on sale at $509.99 (new). The main complain for this 2-in-1 seems to be the soldered ram and non-upgradable storage, so it may or may not be a deal breaker for some people.

If you're coming from the Pro 7 it'd likely be a pretty big performance boost, but depends on your usercase.
I can't remember the exact but I think it was a 20% more CPU bump from i5-10th gen to i3-12th gen (even though it was i3 12th gen)


I don't need it. I thought about it long and hard and decided not go get yet another machine lol

It really depends on your usercase. I went from an i3-1154G4 SP7+ to this, and the difference is quite noticeable; in benchmarks the i3-1215U goes head-to-head and sometimes edges out the 11th gen i7, here is the comparison to the 10th gen i5 in the SP7:

Discussion on this tablet is kind of non-existent. I recently got one open box from Bestbuy and after booting up I only got 64Gb available. Is this normal?

I got openbox from bestbuy as well just 130 bucks, no charger and no pen. 50+ GB is used when setup was finished. You may consider to upgrade ssd to 512GB or more, google it instead youtube, you will find video how to open the case and replace with a single side 2242 ssd (256gb is pretty cheap on amazon).
