From my point of view, here's what this one has going for it:
8 GB is hard to come by in a Chromebook - I run lots of tabs AND crouton with full Linux on a 4GB MT8183 and do have occasional issues. And 8 GB would be a bare minimum for Windows anyway.
Ryzen 7320C is way better than MT8183C in benchmarks, and way way better than any Celeron (in my personal opinion, but I'm sure there's room for discussion on that but please, no flames)
2-in-1 for this price is a good deal
14" FHD screen is a good deal - many 2-in-1's only come with 11".
Who really needs Windows these days? I run OpenOffice in Linux, and MS Office online is free w/ educational account anyway if you need it.
Probably doesn't need 128GB for most people, but whatever.
Only thing I'd like to see is a back-lit keyboard, but not a deal breaker since it is a 2-in-1.

the former is above the all important threshold for me (250=unacceptable, 300=acceptable!). the latter afaik indicates a somewhat low quality display. but the former is more important imo.
wonder if bb has it on display to check out the well, display...
seems like a good deal, saw a similar lenovo for i believe 259 recently w/8gb ram, but it came with a pentium silver n6000 which i'm sure is well less than this.
This is well below that. The processor is better than past AMD efforts but I've learned to be disappointed with AMD in past chromebooks.
The pros of this is a 16:10 screen and USB gen 2 as well as HDMI 2.1 so if you use a 4k monitor it would work better.
Chromebooks are quite fast so even a Celeron might work for you. The Mediatech are a bit slow except some high end ones.
I picked one of these up last time it went down to this price. Overall you really can't beat it for sub $300.
The things you can't really tell from just reading specs is that yes, it is heavy for it's size, but my guess is that it's mostly from the battery, which holds a charge ungodly long. With "sitting in the living room internet surfing" usage, after the first charge I didn't have to charge it again for several days.
The weight does make it feel more sturdy/substantial. Very little keyboard flex for a chromebook.
The 16:10 screen ratio is also really nice. A good compromise between 16:9 (horrible IMO for 80% of what people use chromebooks for most of the time which is net surfing, not watching 2 hour movies constantly) and 4:3.
I only really have 2 minor complaints. First is the matte blue plastic finish. It looks gorgeous, but in reality it will pick up any sort of palm grease and fingerprints like crazy. The 2nd is the screen ( a problem I notice with many Asus chromebooks regardless of price point). Overall it's good, but it has trouble with anti-aliasing smaller text within Chrome OS (for example the small notification fonts). Could be a smigden brighter, but overall good screen, especially for the price point.
I've mostly owned Acer Spins 713's, but the battery life on this is what sold it. We mainly use chromebooks as around-the-house convenience net-surfers, and to pick up a chromebook with low battery life freaking succksss. This one doesn't have that problem.

There's a lot to like in these specs, but I can hodl out with my current junk until 2025.
128GB M.2 NVMe™ PCIe® 3.0 SSD
So yes this should be upgradable.
And to the one who said the keyboard was not backlit it is infact that.

Nobody is going to need to take a break in the middle of the day for a breather carrying around this laptop. It's on par with a thin and light 15" in terms of weight.'
