I bought one. It is indeed touch and FHD. Uses a smaller SSD (not 2280). Tried to upgrade RAM with sticks from older laptops but would only take my 4GB stick and not my 16GB.

Going to return it because it has a coil whine problem. It makes sounds similar to a hdd seeking whenever it's plugged in. I say that because it's most apparent whenever there's disk access but it even makes the sound when off and the charger is plugged in

Edit: Windows didn't want to reset normally, so I had to use a bootable usb. The noise is still there and now even when the laptop is off

I don't know why you guys are making a simple thing rocket science.
Lenovo's official website and their listing at Newegg for this particular model 21C6X01200 clearly mention this being FHD IPS Touch. eBay listings can be wrong and have been in the past as well, but the official website's listing is hardly wrong, if ever:

Just received mine. Lenovo warranty is expired, Windows 11 Pro, 1080p FHD display with touch, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, 1080p webcam. Looks pristine, came in Lenovo refurbished box with Lenovo 65 W USB-C adapter. Computer and adapter wrapped like new. Display is sharp but color not nearly as good as my Macbook Air M1, which was expected. AC adapter gets a bit warm, but computer works well so far. Excellent price for a pristine Thinkpad. Thanks OP for the great deal. Cheers

Anyone think I should get this? Or wait for a sale on a Lenovo Flex (one of those laptop/tablet hybrids)
?

Lookin for a smaller laptop (14 inches)
It depends on your needs. Flex offers 2-in-1 and Thinkpad gives you build quality/durability confidence.
I would not give my Flex to my kids to use, as I am pretty concerned with the hinge issue of 2-in-1. I use my Flex daily but with extreme care when opening it up. However, I seldom used it in tablet/tent mode.

Quote from Slurm93 :
That's a fascinating question, you are the first person I've ever seen or heard request that as their preferred OS. I did a quick google search and it looks like Chrome OS flex is compatible with windows based laptops so I see no reason why it wouldn't install on here.

If you are feeling adventurous Chrome OS is basically a Linux distro, Lenovo laptops are notoriously compatible with Linux, Ubuntu would run on this thing very well too.
Quote from Eddy1292023 :
Can we install chrome os on this?
Yes I think it should work. I have been using Chrome OS flex on my Thinkpad T480 and 490, works well.

They also have the non-touch model for $10 more... (also with 8% off)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/156378600216

But per what people were saying, that might mean it really is 1366 x 768 res. Also listed as coming with WIn 11Pro instead of home.

This vs a few bucks more for T14s? I've seen some comparisons that they're close in build quality but the L can be hit or miss with chassis flex on the wrists?

Thanks OP.

I decided to order this last night. I was going to hold out for something on Black Friday, but need to have a Windows machine for a few things, and my HP Envy from 2012 is getting to be a real pain to use as both batteries are not holding a charge, plus it is big and heavy.

My only wish is that this could hold a second ssd. I'll have to use my Samsung external.

Keeping my fingers crossed this refurb is in good condition!

If you search this model number, it looks like it's for sale around $320 or $330 at a bunch of different places, including Lenovo outlet. A bit more expensive, but still probably a good deal.

2 day air, ordered yesterday, a Thursday, UPS initial delivery date, the following Thursday. We'll see if that holds. No complaining yet. 2 day is 2 week days so I expect it to show up Tuesday.

I ordered one yesterday. It's replacing a t440s with a i5 4300u/8gb ram. Even my t440s still works fine to this day. Just need more ram/cpu and it doesn't do windows 11. Pretty pumped to find this at a great price.

Im guessing based on your comment that there is 1 open/free slot for ram. I want to look into upgrading the ram now so I never have to worry with it later.

the listing shows free 2 day air shipping, but you're right, after looking it shows ups ground, not air in the tracking info. I pinged the seller as this is a bit shady IMO.
