Processor is a little lackluster along with ram but for a student use I think this is more than enough.
226v with 130v arc graphics can run most games in decent FPS. Obviously not high settings but playable.
If playing minecraft, LOL, rocket league... should be more than enough.

Anyway, I found a video that might be helpful to others who want to learn more about this machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Enq9k
I like how lightweight it is for a 14" laptop, the fact that it has Windows Hello (so the lack of a fingerprint reader is less of an issue), the 120Hz screen, but the lack of a backlit keyboard is a problem for me even though I touch type (because I use the function keys regularly, and they're small in addition to being above the number row where my fingers cannot reach without lifting my hands away from the keyboard). There are higher priced variants with upgrades like backlit keyboards, touchscreens, more storage, etc. so thanks for putting this on my radar. I'll check sales during Black Friday because I do prefer Lenovo keyboards with the dedicated page up & page down keys,
Lenovo's site is so annoying! Why are there multiple listings for the same exact laptop with different pricing? Makes me reluctant to buy because I'm afraid I might not be getting the best price if I happen to be looking at the wrong page.

This one fits almost all of my criteria. Before pulling the trigger on it, does anyone expect that the price will go down, maybe at BF? This laptop is pretty new to the market so will it be discounted further as time goes on? Thanks.

I think Lenovo is giving me a price match after I spoke with customer service!
I recently switched to an MacBook Air with a MagSafe connector. I have accidentally caught the cord several times, and it separated it from the machine without causing any damage to the computer. Actually, the MagSafe feature was a main selling point based on my use case.
Even Phones are going to smaller storage.
The good old days before AI:
256 GB SSD: $20
512 GB: $35
1GB: $50
2GB: $90
