Good specs overall for this price. I love 14" screens, that's the sweet spot for me in terms of portability/productivity. Some say the screen has low nits, but at this price you can't have it all. I wonder if the keyboard is as tactile as the Thinkpads, that's very important for me (on pics it looks a bit too flat/flush for my liking). There's also a warehouse returned unit available for $50 less. Hmm.

For Sale:

I needed to get a laptop for my son for use in class last year and at first got a 15.6" but it was too big & heavy for him. This 14" like you said suited him much better. The screen brightness is probably it's biggest weak spot, but it's otherwise a solid laptop for this price range.

There were some crazy deals on the B2B side, apparently COVID never happened in B2B, just on the consumer side.

This is a good deal for RFD though, Lenovo Flex 14 laptops are some of my favorite machines.

Upvoted.

I have this, it is really great, i use it for work all the time. Battery lasts a while, and it is very light and easy to use.

Just keep in mind if you are using a credit card that has extended warranty coverage to get an extra year of warranty, used models won't be eligible for extended coverage.

I have ordered a few lenovos lately for our office. Ensure you stress the system and test it out as soon as you get it!. We have received about 25% that fail on receipt and need to be returned or RMA.

I bought this last year from Amazon warehouse deals and it's a great unit - it came basically brand new.

I did notice that the touchpad was finicky - it wouldn't register some presses, so I sent it into Lenovo and they fixed it in 3 days and sent it back. Thought that was cool.

In case anyone's on the fence about buying a 'warehouse deals' unit, it's still covered under warranty.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.

I hate you OP.
I kind of want one because my current Flex 5 has a dent in it and doesn't have USB-C. I dongled it, but it's inconvenient.
The 12 months equal payments certainly doesn't help either....

Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.

Ordered one. Been looking for a good deal for a while. No cost EMI is great addition.

Great deal for a 16GB machine with FHD touchscreen.

Only downside is the less than stellar screen.

But for $699.99 might be worth it for some.
