HP X2 Chromebook, 12.3″ detachable w/ core M processor $499 new, $414 OB Certified, under $400 for lesser OB

Almost bought this during the ebay flash sale, but this ended up being in their deal of the day today and the prices dropped even more.
New is $499.99 down from $599.99
Open Box, Geek Squad Certified is down to $413.99 down from $497.99 (as of last night).
Lesser Open Box versions are under $400 if they available in your area.

I went with the open box certified and applied my $100 gift card I got from the Gear watch deal. Now I’ll sell my Tab S3 from Costco.
And I really don’t give a shit about the anti Chrome OS people. But I know you’ll proliferate this thread anyway.
This will easily tide me over until an SD surfaces for the upcoming Pixel Slate. (no pun intended above)

My negatives with this… Only 32gb of storage. Should really be 64gb at this price point. No backlit keyboard, but that’s not a deal breaker. Very much interested to see what the Pixel Slate brings to the table and how good the keyboard for it will be. I just can’t take the small screen on the tab S3 anymore.
