These were $1500 during BF wasn't it? Off-BF are better than BF once again 🤣
This is the one most of us jumped on
Great build quality, sharp screen, runs nice and smooth. Recommended.
Oh, I've had a Lenovo gaming chromebook for over 5 years, still in perfect running order.
Cheers,

Seems like sign up coupon is not applicable for this one. Says "Threshold coupon not applicable"
So realistically only $10 difference from last deal
EDIT: ahh I see, the link is using vipmembers/beneplaceoffer so it kind of pre-applies the signup offer which is not stackable

I think you can also use urlhasbeenblocked cashback (10%) and the AMEX card off ($100 off purchase of $1200 or more), which would bring this down to $1195?
I returned it, I didn't like the backlight bleed on the screen, the colors looked quite washed out, and it thermal throttled. Nice feeling chassis though.
I bought this a couple of days ago. It's a sleek, beautiful laptop, but I'm having lots of problems getting the system to run using a 4tb western digital sn 850x for a data drive and a Samsung 990 Pro for the OS drive. The 990 Pro is brand new. The WD came out of an older system.
I'm using Lenovo's image and all their drivers. I just gave up on running both (2 drives) and started installing just to the 990 Pro in slot 0 without the WD installed. Also, note that the 2nd M2 slot is very shallow. It wouldn't accept the 4TB double-sided drive. This forced me to put the OS on drive 1 and data on drive 0. It's probably not reasonable, but installing the OS to anything but drive 0 has always bothered me.
The symptoms were that the machine seemed laggy/choppy. Running benchmarking software through steam off the data drive would lag and throw exception errors in the event log.
If I continue to have issues with the system on just the 990 Pro, it might be going back to Lenovo. I'm tired of installing the OS over and over. I have the identical 4060 system from Costco sitting on my desk waiting for me to decide what to do.
edit - both drives were on the latest firmware, as was the Lenovo

I also have lag issues with this exact laptop. Used 2t wd 850x for my os, but it seems to be slower than the OEM, which benched slower than the 850x. I also have Wi-Fi lag. It tends to hold onto 2g signal instead of the 5g, even when preference was set to 5g. I get package drops often on Wi-Fi. Does anyone have any idea?

Works fine with just the 990Pro installed. It's noticeably quicker too.
Tomorrow I'll try a fresh install using just the 4TB WD 850X. Maybe it just doesn't play nice with the 850X?

2tb 990 Evo plus for OS and 2tb 980 pro for storage, runs great but tomorrow I'll run some benchmarks with the 980 pro removed. No wifi issues but I hate that the wire runs under the second drive.

For this price of a 2 TB drive should be included, but still goid
