Great deal for a sub $300 for home use.

The display is good enough for indoor at 250 nits, 1080p IPS True Colors. Other Lenovo laptops use horrible TN to hit this price. I use a 250 nit Gateway/Dell with no issues indoors.
The Intel 12th Gen i3 pairs great with another 8GB ram ($15). The 12th Gen 6-core is big improvement from 8th/10th Gen 4-core.
Wifi 6 has the strong Intel 2x2. Other laptops use weaker 1x1.
Charging uses the more reliable power port. It doesn't appear to use USB-C charging.

You can't expect highest spec parts for $250, but this dell use quality name brand parts.
If you do lots of work outdoors and travel alot, look for 400-500 nit, go for Latitude 5000/7000 series/Thinkpad L13, expect to spend $250(refurb) to $600(new)

Buy these x86 windows laptop with extra RAM slots, its going to be less available once ARM X on Windows goes mainstream in 1-3 years. Probably be the last x86 laptop that your ever need.

The 250 nit is usable indoors

I wasn't sitting there timing when my email arrived but it wasn't immediate ... I'm guessing 5 to 15 minutes.

Thanks for the post!
Trying to order one as backup. Getting error at checkout after selecting shipping address:
There was a problem with your Shipping/Billing information. Please review the information entered and try again.

The ordering system is down I guess.

Update:

Had online chat with customer service agent and was told that it was because coupons were used. A new cart at full price 280 was offered. Classic Dell support!

Signed out of account then ordered as guest without issue.

No backlit keyboard?
Looks like you can find one for $26 off ebay but this is probably a more complex job to swap than many would be up to.

If you plan to use this as a media player keep in mind only supports 1080p HDMI, no 4k output.

The only thing holding me back is a backlit keyboard. Wish that was a configurable option.
The only $250 deals with backlit key, 1080p IPS, Wifi 6 are Dell Refurb with Intel 10th Gen 4-core in 8/256 or 16/512 config

Lenovo Flex sometimes comes up for $220 brand new with Intel 12th 6-core 8/256

I think they went up on price. I had a 512 gb SSD in cart and it was like $330 before.
