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.

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.

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.
