Just found this price on Lenovo website. Now if we can combine this with an upsized cashback offer would be a good price for the 4050 imo.
You can also get an AMD Ryzen™ 5 8645HS Processor variant for extra $100:

Decent, though lowest 4050 LOQ I've seen so far is $1094, so hopefully it drops more closer to Black Friday
