And after the Lenovo USB recovery, it’s back in working order. Bizarre.

Let me follow that up by saying that hardware-wise, this is a solid machine. Runs fast, not loud, works like a champ, stupid Lenovo magic drivers notwithstanding.

So I got mine today and FYI DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, do a fresh install with the Windows Media Creation Tool version 2004. The touchscreen and trackpad use some magical driver that doesn't show up in...

Nice! Despite this low-brightness screen, $500 is a compelling price here.

Heads up to anyone who was lucky enough to find one in store.
This is listed in the 8/9 - 8/15 weekly ad for $499.99, so I will be going back to get a price adjustment.

I was definitely on the fence and ended up getting the staples one when the costco went OOS. You do get 3 year warranty at Staples if you use your citi card, 1 yr + 2 through Citi. I ended up opting...

For those on the fence I would highly recommend getting your laptop from Costco rather than staples. Not only is their support and service miles ahead of Staples pathetic customer service, but you...

Exactly. But not being able to add RAM you've shortened the possible lifespan and created unnecessary waste.

What exactly were you doing that you noticed a difference in the CPU? Surfing the web? Playing games? Using MS Office? Running benchmarks?

16gb ram is overkill for most people, by the time you need more ram than that it will be time to toss this laptop into the trash and get a new one.

Demand for laptops spiked when everyone started working from home. Hence the price increases and lack of many deals on computers in general.

The associate at my local store was able to have the manager override the price online and ordered it. He said they never had this and the item# showed as inactive or something like that. YMMV

1) CPU. 4700 was noticeably faster than 4500. And the 4500 was faster than the i5. 2) 512 GB. 256 was too tight for both windows and Linux. I figure if I am keeping the laptop 3 years then I prefer...
