Not a bad price. Very genuine.

This will probably compete with Microsoft's offer. The question is do you wanna pay another $150 for a smaller display, better processor and larger SSD.

Pay the extra $100-150ish for the Thinkbook 14s (or 14) when it goes on sale. The price has dropped on the 14s since the 14 has come out and it goes on sale at least once a month now.

You'll get a laptop with the similar specs but a slightly brighter screen which is IPS and an aluminum instead of plastic chassis and just better build quality in general it seems. If you want a glossy instead of matte screen then get the Flex 14 in that price range.

Thinkbooks have serious QC issues. Be prepared for the possibility of a return and a drawn-out refund period.

Whenever someone asks a question that starts with "Why do they..." or "Why don't they...", the answer is always a) money, b) stupidity, or c) both.
