A very good deal. But seems no PD charging/DisplayPort via USB-C.
Also available for the same price from Best Buy via eBay [ebay.com]

Backlit keyboards should be standard - Agreed.

In this particular case, no backlit keyboard DOES NOT kill the deal (IMO).

I swear, the caliber of cheapskate that can be found in Slickdeals comment sections is unmatched.

Thank you very much for posting. Timing is perfect.
This was posted about a week ago for $420 and I bought it online. Tomorrow is the last day that I have to pick it up. I've been wracking my brain whether to really buy it or just let the order be canceled. Now I can save $40 and simply rebuy it.

Oddly enough, I did visit a local Best Buy store to see it in real life. The price had increased from $420 back up to $750. This was just two days ago and now it's down to $380. Weird.
I thought the display didn't look as good as others and the unit seemed plasticky. But improving on those would more than double the price.

There's no way I'd spend $750 but at $380, I may have to take the plunge.

Q: QuestionIs the display have an ips panel? Or a TN panel with bad viewing angles?

A: Not sure on the specs, but I have checked the view from pretty far to either side and do not see much deterioration in how well I can see the screen.

A: The display type is an IPS level panel.

An earlier discussion mentioned that this actually has WUXGA 1920x1200 (16:10)…

Yes, one of the reviews on BB shows the laptop open and confirms

No Backlit keyboard kills the deal. That should be standard on laptops these days.

Thanks for confirming. Bought the lenovo 5700u from last week and I'd probably return it for this if I could expand it past that.

Never seen a 16" screen that wasn't 16:10.
Sounds like a decent deal for the price but some clear corner-cutting going on

Question, what's so special about this laptop? Is it the cpu that's the selling point?

No charging over usb c is a deal breaker for me. But at this price point guess you can't complain.

Review for anyone interested.

I mean, it has a lot going for it at the price point. It's a well performing CPU, 512GB drive is decent, as is 12GB of RAM and an IPS panel. A lot of 5800HS Mini PCs with similar other specs are in this price range, and they don't have a built in monitor, keyboard, battery, etc.

If you don't need a portable device, may be better off still getting a mini PC and saving $50 and putting that towards potentially more RAM or whatever. But if getting something for young kids to do school work or for grandparents or just for projects, seems a solid deal.
