You can get an excellent refurb of an HP Elitebook with a 5650U for ~250 from a variety of outlets. The Elitebook has far better build quality, speakers, more expand-ability and better overall design. Not to mention the listing on this Dell say it doesn't even come with an OS.
Additionally, the i7-1185G7 CPU in this Dell is about 30% slower than the Ryzen 5650U in the HP Elitebook. And the GPU is worse as well.
Just don't see any reason to get this compared to the multitude of other laptop deals.

which seller? looking for something for my wife that isn't new but much newer than her 10 year old current one
You're not going to get a seller ... because it's BS ...when are slickdeals readers ever going to think for themselves rather than reading posts from slickdrals trolls.
1.12 kg (2.48 lb) - Carbon Fiber
1.29 kg (2.84 lb) - Aluminium
1.39 kg (3.06 lb) - 2-in-1
The picture shows carbon fiber on the top but it's just a stock photo. Kinda tempting, I want a cheapo sub 2.5 lb laptop for travel, I don't mind an 11th gen i7 for the next few years, heck I only play one game time to time and the Iris xe runs it fine even. I'm held back by its current battery capacity and if it's kept 80+% total cap, since it's a 2021 laptop.

If this deal is a carbon fiber body, it's .5 lb (maybe more?) lighter than that elitebook.
