Thanks for posting that link. I was looking between the two laptops and I like this one more because of the 4 cell battery and being $50 cheaper. I plan on using it on the field for astrophotography so temperature shouldnt' be an issue since it will be outside in the evenings.

Just keep coming back to the page and refresh: once in a while it seems to pop-up (YMMV: this might or might not happen. I was doing it for 20+ mins)
Mine arrived today. Not a scratch on it. It is in excellent condition, yes. All accessories and paperwork were inside.

Differences:
- 2023 model vs 2022 model
- 14.5" screen vs 14" screen
- touch screen vs not touch screen
- 13th Gen Core i5 vs 12th Gen Core i5
- 512gb ssd vs 256gb ssd
- cortana vs cortana and amazon alexa
- 1 x HDMI 2.1 additional on 2023 model (otherwise same)
- 10 hour battery life vs 18 hour battery life (I wonder what the difference is...)
As stated above, it allows you to checkout and get it shipped, but it will cancel within a minute of you ordering it that way. Don't do this, because it will hit your bank with a pending charge.
Honestly, a lot better specs for only $45+tax more. I know this is slickdeals and both of them are pretty good for the price, but the SMART good deal is on that 2023 model. To get a 2023 model with those specs for under $400 is pretty solid.

You use your laptop on your lap
You use your laptop for meetings
You video or photo edit
You want to play games on this beautiful screen
I returned it and paid double for the 13th gen Intel version. 16 gb ram, 1080p camera, 512gb and same screen. To deal with the thermals upgrade the drive and buy an external camera made the difference worth it

I see the huge difference now. Too bad I bought this one "$50 cheaper" when the other one was still available
And that certainly explains why the other one is FP with 70+ votes while this one is at 7..
Actually 6 now, since I am downvoting my own vote, and returning this one back to the store
