For a college student, this is a great deal. The form factor is a bit small (13"), but the 11th gen CPU isn't any kind of functional or performance dealbreaker for that use. Fits in a backpack and the 2-in-1 for taking notes in class is a big plus. The battery life for a day of classes in school is fine, and the availability of an outlet in that environment isn't a problem if you've got a long day and you're presenting or something that actually requires the energy to get through. Only drawback is that many colleges are using Windows Pro, so you might have to spring for the upgrade on that.

Also, memory is soldered, so no upgrade to 32GB. Also no extra alot for a 2nd NVME drive. With Lenovo, you need to order direct from Lenovo if you want to change up the specs for whatever the retailer is carrying.

In this case, they're clearing the 11th gen before the new 13th gen models hit and the 12th gen drop in price. From a CPU perspective, I'm not certain the benefits from 13th gen over 12th gen and from 12th gen over 11th gen are really material for a daily driver student or business laptop.
link to the 12th gen with touchscreen, 1tb SSD, and 16gb Ram for a $100 more?

Small screen, tablet like, ultra low power CPU...not sure what else battery one would expect here unless you like your 2-in-1's weighing 6 lbs and sporting a 2 day battery life Wink

Not a terrible price for a convertible form factor touch screen, 16 gigs of RAM and a 1 TB MVME

That's incredibly helpful since I was looking at this for my son, for college.

regarding windows pro, do college kids still get a free windows license with their college email? Is it easy to upgrade it?

I don't yet know. I'm looking at this to replace the second Asus Zenbook Flip S 14" that cracked its OLED screen in 2 years. Those came with Win Pro, also from Costco, and the extra (Square Deal/Allstate) warranty was money well spent. So if we get this one, 3rd 2-in-1 in 3 years at college, I'm fine with it being half the price as the Zenbook Flip S and paying for the upgrade.

We still don't know what caused the screens to crack, but will say that the Asus Zenbook Flip S 14 OLED is a quality laptop worth the $1K. Just not worth replacing it every year. My son said the 2-in-1 touchscreen was worth it if we were going to look at other laptops. He uses it in class in tablet mode to take notes/annotate the presentations or reference materials since all the textbooks are ebooks/online and all classwork is also online (Google Classroom, Chalkboard, etc.) these days.

My daughter has been on a ThinkPad L390 Yoga for 3 years now of daily use during the fall/spring semesters. Think it is a Core i5-8265U, and I upgraded the RAM to 16 GB from the stock 8 GB along with the SSD. She's been hinting at wanting a new machine (mechanical engineer, runs Solidworks), and I'd probably go with another 13-inch Yoga class machine, but I'd buy it direct from Lenovo in order to get it with 32 GB.

Not so sure about the licenses for MS software anymore. I know I couldn't get an Office license for her when she started in fall 2021, so I went through one of those third party places that sells them for $30 - $40 (think they are unused corporate licenses), and it has been fine. Think a lot of schools are using the cloud stuff now, as I also tried to get the Office license at my older daughter's school and no such luck there either.

Younger one is at University of Detroit Mercy (small private school, around 2500 students) and the older one was at University of North Texas (around 38K students) at the time.

All aren't refurbs. The Lenovo eBay is a refurb but it's a lenovo refurb with a 2 year warranty. Anyway it's sold out now so Time Machine and all that.
I wouldn't mind a refurb as long as it was by the manufacturer and came with the same or better warranty.
