This ticks lots of boxes for me but not for everyone. Particularly not a great gaming option. But for work/programming/crunchyroll this is going to be perfect for me. I added the bigger battery for $10. It has an Arc iGPU which probably is about the same as an AMD 780M (not even probably, see comments) so not a gaming laptop but not incapable at medium 1080p type gaming. You can also save a few bucks taking off the on-site warranty.

I think it's worth comparing to the other similarly priced deal for the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s G4 R7-7840U which I was originally considering but hated the screen and am not comfortable doing DIY. Bit more $ but much better screen. You also don't need to work around the Education store.
EDIT: How could I forget cashback? Don't forget Cashrewards has 3.3%, Shopback 3.2% and TopCashback 4.55%
16:10 120Hz OLED. Not bad.
