Question Is there a better laptop for $900 than this ?

This one. 5700u, 16 gig ram, 512 gig ssd.

That's a pretty dang sweet laptop.

The only "better" ones might be "gaming" laptops with a mobile discreet 30-series Ampere GPU in them. But then you pay for that in terms of weight and power-consumption.

This is not for gaming, aside from web games. Battery life, usability, versatility, etc are the goals. Pretty set on the Ryzen 5000 series, but maybe a 5800u (If I could find one in the US)

Oh, and weight. 4 lbs max, really want 3 or less. This is 2.86

I'd say get it.

Its for a friend. I want to give him the best advice possible. This is my best find so far.

Do be aware that that is not a factory-spec machine, it was third-party upgraded for the RAM and SSD, and being re-sold. That may have warranty implications.

I've been looking in the same price bracket/use case. Is this not the same unit for less $$?

I didn't notice till after I posted that the sale expires soon. Hope you have/had time to react if it's the one you decide on.
