[Best Buy] Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14″ (MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910, 16GB RAM, 256GB UFS) – $699 (PRICE ERROR)

This is the first time I’ve posted a deal, so hopefully I won’t botch things too badly.

This deal won’t appeal to anyone who can’t imagine paying more than a few hundred dollars for a Chromebook. This, however, is a high-end Chromebook, with a powerful ARM-based processor, a generous amount of RAM and storage (by Chromebook standards), an OLED touchscreen, and a fingerprint reader.

The MSRP for this configuration is $1080, currently on sale directly from Lenovo for $1050, $987 via Perkopolis, so $699 represents a substantial discount. It costs 749 USD on both Lenovo’s and Best Buy’s US sites. Note that Best Buy orders are fulfilled by Lenovo.

Why do I think it’s a pricing error? As I explained, the pricing is inconsistent between Best Buy’s and Lenovo’s sites, and between Canadian and US listings. There’s another inconsistency: the Chromebook Plus variant with lesser specs (12GB RAM, 128GB UFS, no touchscreen or fingerprint reader) is $899!

One more oddity: Before Best Buy’s last round of sales ended on December 18, the sale price was listed as $699 then too, but the discount was only $81, from the ostensibly regular price of $780. Now the discount is $381, which makes more sense.

And yes, I’ve ordered and received one, and verified that it is indeed what I expected. Note that the specifications in the Best Buy listing have errors: it does have a touchscreen and a backlit keyboard.
