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?

It's been stated clearly:
8GB (8GB soldered + 1x SO-DIMM) DDR4-3200

How does this match up against a similar spec AMD variant?

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.

I plan to buy a laptop for my daughter soon. Mostly just for college work no gaming. I dont know $&@ about processors. I read the newer i3 is better than this older i5. Idk if that's true. I can get the older 2020 laptop refurbished grade A from a reputable company for $300 (specs below). If I upgrade this slick deal to be 16gb too, which is the better deal?

HP EliteBook 840 G6 14" FHD Business Laptop , 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, Fingerprint, Backlit Keyboard, HDMI, USB-C.
