Been much cheaper for BF last year and over Xmas (around $199).
Still the cheapest right now if you want a reasonably well priced, upgradable new laptop from a known retailer.

It has gotten good reviews. Potential buyers should be aware that it is limited to single channel ram. Other than that one major failing, it is reviewed as being a better quality laptop than you would expect for the price. I should note that it was $200-$249 when I saw the reviews.

It drops to this price very often (wouldn't be surprised if its at least once a week), but it also goes back up quickly. They have a Ryzen 5 version that's a bit more expensive as well (when the 3 is $249, the 5 is like $329).

Hoping we see a nice update for the 4000 series (like they bring out a higher spec one with 4800; either with 16GB/512GB for $499 on sale, or maybe if they offer dual channel and dual M.2 slots, a single 8GB and 256GB from the factory for $399 or $499 if it has other improvements like bigger battery and/or USB-C charging and they can offer better quality control).
