Lowest ever price so far. Possibly the cheapest and best everyday driver with 12th Gen CPU, FHD IPS touch display and upgradable memory. Only drawbacks:
no USB-C charging
no backlit keyboard
portability (pesonally prefer 14")

But at this price, these are what the best you could get for a brand new.

Also availble for same price at Best Buy via eBay

Not bad, but not for me as I'm one of the lucky SDers to get the Acer Swift Go for $455. Repped.

I agree. Have been very happy with the almost identical Dell version that I got during BF last year (also posted by DrW).

Is the RAM soldered and another empty slot available for expansion?

Own a similar model from work - it was so bad I bought my own laptop to use for everything that didn't require being on the VPN.

That has non-upgradable 8GB RAM, if you can live with.
This Intel is also superior in terms of processing power and supports touchscreen.

The only better things about it are smaller size, USB-C charging and backlit KB, where this Ideapad 1 doesn't offer.

This is a dam good laptop. I had no issue running a few tabs 8, plus youtube in background. The only issue I had was getting out of S mode. My friend was able to help with that. The camera for zoom calls is decent. My supervisor was praising for how good the video and audio sounded. I got it at $330 two weeks ago so I'm do a price match. Thank You!

Asus Vivobook S Flip 14 costs the same, is a 2-in-1, is lighter, has a better screen, CPU, bigger battery, backlit keyboard and Thunderbolt 4 with power delivery and display output. Literally better than this in every way for the same price.

Yes, I know that. For $300, it's been discussed for a few weeks, but it's only for those who could in-store pick up from a Microcenter store nearby.
