Don't fall for SD sponsored posting! This was $250
I bought this when it was same price few weeks ago. I had ordered for an open box (Excellent). When the unit was delivered, I found that there was a medical insurance receipt of the previous owner. When I was setting up the laptop, I found that the previous owner's login was still available. I was surprised to see that it was not sanitized once it reached the warehouse and re-used as open box. Pretty surprising transfer of items by BestBuy.

thanks for posting this OP Smilie

Here's what I believe to be the official lenovo link for the laptop as far as specs

https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/I...82QD00DHUS

if I understand this correctly I believe there's one empty ram slot available so you can add another 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 stick of ram to reach the maximum ram allowed for this laptop, 16 GB.

Also it looks like the one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot can be upgraded to.. well that's the confusing part for me actually Smilie .. it mentions the M.2 2242 SSD option can take up to 1 TB.. so maybe it's the same for the m.2 2280 form factor as far as the 1 TB maximum?

Tried (and failed) to find a youtube video that walks you through how to do the upgrade... no idea if this video kind of sort of tells you how to do it for a similar model or not?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UJYt5DzOzw

Not menat as complaints by any means you can't argue with the price, in my opinion anyways Smilie

Looks like lenovo themselves gives you a handy dandy guide on how to remove the bottom case cover and do ram and ssd upgrades Smilie .. see page 28 of this pdf onwards

https://download.lenovo.com/consu..._1_hmm.pdf

Some might argue these aren't necessary and a flat head screwdriver will let you open up the case just fine .. personally I'm a bit nervous about newbs like me who do stupid things like say wreck circuitry inside with a sharp metal object .. I've gotten a lot of use out of the guitar picks one youtuber recommended though I imagine any old set of guitar picks will do

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8&th=1

amazon asin number B06XJH93GK if the ilnk doesn't work for some reason.. seven dollars for a pack of six though of course you only need just the one as a pry tool to push inside the seam and run along said seam to pop the laptop open , the other five I imagine serve as backups in case you lose the first one Smilie

not sure but I'm thinking if you have a 32 GB or larger usb thumb drive lying around (guessing 64 GB maybe to be on the safe side?) you can create a bootable thumb drive you could use to just reinstall Windows on a new hard drdive

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/e...covery-key

https://download.lenovo.com/km/me...m55672.pdf

( could be wrong but it looks like some sort of tool you download and run on the lenovo laptop .. might be handy to create it on a usb drive and leave it on there permenantly just in case ...though I know there are people who like to just download win 11 as a bootable usb drive and do a clean install, apparently the laptop automatically detects the windows product key built into the motherboard and lets you do it .. you'd want to take careful note of the type of operating system, windows home or pro or what not, since you need to select the right option during the clean install .. no idea how well this would work on this particular model laptop wiser heads than mine might chime in and comment here Smilie

Does popping it open to upgrade the RAM void warranty? I'm assuming so :\

This has never been $250. The $280 is the lowest it was available for 2-3 times max in the past. Don't spread false information.

It takes a few seconds to go to settings then store, then press Get. It's free and now you have a full version of windows 11 home. You can't go back though

You're right - jneset is probably unaware that previous deals were either for 720p touchscreens, or for 1080p non-touchscreens.

Am I overreacting to the usb-c being data only? I really want to be able to charge from that but I'm not sure if I'm making it a bigger issue than it should be.

Bologna!
You SD worshipers are so oblivious. The best proof I can give, since SD's search sucks and items completely vanish now, is attached.

Wow, what a proof. No deals vanished because there was never a deal with that price for this particular laptop. Please, stop embarrassing yourself.

How is that not proof?!
I know what I saw so you can keep being oblivious, it's fine
I'm fully convinced there's rogue staff deleting posts vs expiring them now-2nd thread where it's vanished
