Almost perfect for me. I just need a backlit keyboard.
If you're not opposed to refurbished laptops, and you don't need the latest and greatest, check out DellRefurbished. I got a 2 in one 13 inch Latitude 7390 laptop with an i5 8th gen, 16gb ram and 512 SSD for $275 last year. I'm very pleased, metal build, backlit keyboard and USB c for charging. If you're unfamiliar, only Intel CPUs that are 8th Gen or newer are windows 11 supported, so this qualifies but I've yet to update.
It's $300 now, but was $250 recently. Price fluctuates. Two ram slots that are DDR4, but the i3 smokes the ryzen at single-core, multi-core, and igpu workloads. The igpu on the intel is almost twice as powerful.
The ryzen 7520u is based on zen 2 which is almost 4 years old and a few gens old. Zen 4 is current and zen 4 refresh is coming.

Latitude 7390.
7 means high end (3 is entry level, 5 is mid range)
3 means 13 inch screen
90 means year 2018 (following years are 00 for 2019; 10 for 2020; 20 for 2021; 30 for 2022)
I bought a refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 in August. That is my first and last refurbished laptop I would buy. There are issues which were not found during the 90 days warranty.
Ryzen 5 7520U is basically a refresh of Zen 2 based Ryzen 3 5300U (4C/8T), but with higher clock speeds, better power efficiency and enhanced iGPU.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks. Thats a good info. I bought a 7290 2 in 1 last year. Still run good, battery is still great. I dont game, just video, browsing. Thought of getting one in next one or two month.
What kind of problem did you got?

Hardware problem: USB connection would disconnect in 15 to 20 min.
Software problems: Windows Bluescreen especially a new SSD drive was installed. I rolled back to the old 256G SSD now.
No sound whenever the driver is updated. I have to go back to 2021 version of sound driver often when the sound issue occurs.

AMD pulled a fast one calling this a "Ryzen 5." Unlike every laptop Ryzen 5 since the 4000 series, this only has 4 cores. Between that and the old Gen 2 architecture, this is slower than a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 from 3 years ago or a Ryzen 3 from 2 years ago.
You can get second-hand ProBooks or EliteBooks with 5600U processors in good condition for $250-300 on eBay. That's a much better buy and will be a more durable computer for the long term.
