On top of 250 price cut, open box excellent reduces the price by another ~140. I ordered one yesterday and received it today.
At 412, this is a really good "tablet chromebook" with excellent screen, dual USB-C and great sound. The keyboard cover can be found on ebay for 80.
Most of the "laggy" reviews were on Celeron model which was phased out. The m3, i5 and i7 offer very similar performance due to thermal throttling, making m3 the no brainer choice.
