These might be school Chromebooks. At the end of 2022, very beginning of 2023, Lenovo had enough inventory for huge shipments of Chromebooks to US/Canada following the chip shortage. Schools gobbled up the shipments of these and a model from their Flex 5 series.

Allstate is hit or miss on how easy their warranty repair/replacement is.

VIP Outlet usually sells these for $175 - $200 w/ SSD via eBay

It appears to have an M.2 slot, however RAM is soldered.

I agree - fantastic specs for a Chromebook - especially at this price - except the eMMC thing buuuuuut....

The PSREF indicates M2 2242 support
https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/I...82V80009UX

The keyboard is even 4-Zone RGB Backlit

AND it has a 71Whr battery

It can support dual 4k60hz via
2x USB-C® 3.2 Gen 2 (support data transfer, Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort™ 1.4)

I haven't even mentioned the screen.

Damn good find OP. Thanks for sharing.

This was a FP deal 7 months ago. https://slickdeals.net/f/16729595-lenovo-ideapad-5i-chromebook-laptop-intel-core-i3-1215u-16-2-5k-ips-120hz-8gb-ram-128gb-emmc-chrome-os-refurbished-227-99-free-shipping-ebay-amazon

The eMMC seems to be replaceable with a M.2 2240 SSD. This is a great price for the specs, especially for the 2.5K quality display (though unfortunately non-touch)

It's one of the few newer Chromebooks certified by the Chromebook Plus program (https://support.google.com/chrome...8000?hl=en) and may get a few extra features in the long run.

It's not a convertible - the Flex 5i Chromebook Plus can flip over but it only has 60Hz screen.

I wonder how much use there's gas before begging refurbished. Vip outlet is usually customer returns and pretty lightly used.

The Acer 516 Chromebook refurbished by Acer has been around this price and is currently about $50 more. It has a similar screen and keyboard with a better processor (i5) and 256gb SSD.

How do ppl feel about the flex 5i at Costco for $380? Deal ends tonight.
14" WUXGA touch, 1215u i3, 8gb ram, 256 SSD (not emmc), CB Plus with update.
This is the 2022 release vs the 2023 release that BestBuy has for $360.
Same machine just 1315u i3 and 128 emmc (BB lists SSD but it's not).

Psref's say 2023 model only supports emmc but has storage slot for M.2, WETF that means.
