Yeah, I thought it was cool and worth looking into until I hit “buy” and saw that $579 USD price tag. Here in Canada that adds up to $780 CAD. It’s made worse

Yeah, I thought it was cool and worth looking into until I hit “buy” and saw that $579 USD price tag. Here in Canada that adds up to $780 CAD. It’s made worse realizing that’s without an SSD or WiFi chip. It’s even more money with that included. All in, I’m looking at almost $1000 converted to use this thing. Why wouldn’t I just buy a 2 year used laptop that comes with screen, keyboard, battery, WiFi, and likely a discrete GPU to hack on? Because it’s a small form factor? $1000 is too much for that in my opinion.

For instance you can go with this: https://slickdeals.net/f/16371811-lenovo-ideapad-flex-5-laptop-ryzen-7-5700u-16gb-512gb-ssd-14-1080p-ips-529-free-s-h https://slickdeals.net/f/16371811-lenovo-ideapad-flex-5-lapt..., which is cheaper despite being brand new, and comes with a 14" display, 512 nvme drive, and wifi module.
