Hmm i must be out of the loop here. The $550 price already seems like a deal. I mean it doesnt seem that long ago OLED laptops still carried a price premium, so $450 for these specs is pretty attractive, let alone $400 after coupon.
Where the heck do you these kind of specs for $350??

Take note that the cpu is the 7520U and not the better 7530u.
The 7520u doesn't even beat the 1215u.
I'm not downvoting this deal though. For many people - it has probably just enough processing power, enough ram, and a nice screen.
Be prepared though that it may not be capable of 4K video output. It might only have the single video out via HDMI 1.4. Also note the WiFi being WiFi 5 (latest gen is WiFi 7).
Everything else is good for the price, but the 7530 was just old tech rebranded, and the 7520 is even lower tier than that. 7540 minimum if buying a new computer.

Besides the cpu, that wifi is old too. Anyone know if that can at least be updated?
You can but the issue is WiFi 5 is 1*1 and WiFi 6 is 2*2 meaning you only have 1 antenna but WiFi 6 requires 2 antennas. You basically have to buy another antenna and then route it through the laptop and up behind the screen, if you want to install it properly. I just shoved the 2nd antenna into a crevasse on a HP laptop I bought for my brother, been working for 6 months and he hasn't complained.
