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.

I would kill for an decent newer laptop with 5g (Cellular SIM Card) support. I have an Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360, that I got on clearance back in March 2022 for $790. Basically half off, with 11th gen i7, 16Gb Ram and 512Gb NVMe SSD, but the itch of knowing I can't get anything newer without paying a few grand or tethering to get bad speeds, isn't worth it to me.

I hate this laptop. It doesn't go to sleep. You always have to shut down or keep it plugged in. I reset it and Google solutions but nothing worked.

Did you try closing the keyboard.

This is about the only thing I dislike about Chrome. If you do not close the case on any Chromebook it does not go to sleep. No way to tell it to go to sleep. Even if you close it and have a monitor hooked to it it does not go to sleep.

Overall they are very finicky about wanting to be closed. I use my Chromebook with the keyboard laying down. It is an I5 but still I must shut it down. Can not put it to sleep.

I hope for some update to fix this. It also does not remember the monitor so every time I turn it on I have to reposition my screen.

Let me be clear I love Chrome. Updates are no problem at all. It works and needs less DDR.

I got this and this tablet is user serviceable; the ram is soldered on but storage is a 2242 NVME SSD.

And the 12th gen i3 benches better than the 11th gen i7:

This is a windows system and comes with a keyboard, it might be able to run mobile apps with lowered settings but can't comment on how it will run
