Sam's club sale on HP Pavilion x360 - worthwhile or no?

Sam's club has an HP Pavilion x360 on sale for $520 today, discounted from $750. I am looking to buy a new laptop, and am wondering if this is worthwhile. Reading other posts on other models of the pavilion x360, they're not very favorable. Sounds mainly like the build quality is poor. Curious if this would be the same, poor build?

I have no experience with the x360 line so I can’t comment on build quality, but I’d personally say the specs are rather “meh” for the price. Not bad, but nothing I’d say you need to jump on right away by any means.
