By far the best laptop for personal and business use on the market. Solid, lightweight, great features. This is not a gaming system and not an autocad system, but for everything in between, this is the best. Decent price, though I imagine things might go even lower around Black Friday.
For a workhorse laptop I think I'd prefer the Zephyrus G14. For 1.2K, I much rather have a RTX 4060 and a Ryzen 7940HS vs this integrated intel graphics + i7-1365U.
But this form factor is amazing. 2.5lbs laptop with great build quality and keyboard? That's hard to find. I think if they offered QHD+ 16:10, I'd probably have opted for the X1 Carbon.. but alas G14 it is!
I just returned a Yoga X1 today, these 12th and 13th gen Intel cpus are absolutely terrible for heat and battery life. I have used more laptops than I can count and this was the first one that I could not use on my lap without burning myself.
I would put up with it for $500 or so, but at this price point grab the P14s with the AMD chipset and hope that the 14th gen Intels are better.

Do you have the U or P series? I heard the U / 1365U is much better on heat
Don't get too worked up over missing this deal. I have been tracking this exact build as I plan to buy one in November. The Lenovo.com part # is 21HM002FUS and the price has gone up and down on the Lenovo website, but just 2 days ago I got the price in the cart down to $1146 with 2 stacked coupons and a fairly small IDme discount (for military, students, seniors, or teachers), and that was before applying any AmEx Offers, cashback sites, or Lenovo Rewards.
Recent AmEx offers have been $50 to $100 off depending on your card. I've got my fingers crossed for another one in November. And Lenovo cashback at certain sites was at least 15% last year on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. My plan is to get this unit for under $1K (which should be easy if the cart price is under $1200). If I see it first, I'll share it.

I was able to play starfield game on max at (if I recall properly) ~60fps.
Great device, amazing screen quality, light weight, durable. My only complain is if you allowed the cooling system to run in max mode, of course you got great gaming, but the machine gets super hot and LOUD!
Otherwise, and amazing laptop
I'm excited to get my hands on Lenovo legion go when I can buy them used from best buy

Tablet form is huge for airplines as the seat trays are too small too comfortably watch movies!

I had the 1240P but if you search around it doesn't seem to be that much better, marginal at best.
