I'd pay the extra $70 for the Asus vivobook ($300) at microcenter if you have one near you

It has touch and probably 50% faster

Upgrading for another $100 for 20GB (4 soldered + 16gb module) RAM and 1TB SSD is very easy as well

Why is this of all things a deal breaker? I hate touch screens on laptops personally.

You can't event get a chrome book for that price. Good luck for getting a BLU phone from QVC for $49.99

why is warning people that the screen is a non-touch 'unhelpful'? like I said, it's a fine deal, just no touch screen. I'm shocked that my comment is found so unhelpful.

Probably because most people don't care about touch screens

How long before windows 11 consumes that entire 128gb drive?
Install the windows x lite version of 11. Smaller install size and increased performance over stock. They don't come with a key, so you'll have to figure out how to extract the key from the laptop, and then download a "home" version of 11 x lite.

Most laptops have the key built in the the bios/UEFI. Should be fine as long as it's home edition.

Is that similar to the custom Windows xp and 7 back in the day where you can manually remove features? I installed Windows 11 on a relative's computer and the 120gb drive was eaten away by updates. I used Wiztree to free up more than 50% of the drive from old large update files. Was pretty impressed it was that easy, just had to sort files by size in Wiztree.

Edit: Just realized this comes with a "128GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD". Sounds like it should be straight forward to upgrade this drive to a 1tb or at minimum 512gb and those have come down in price quite a lot recently. If this laptop could take a 32gb stick of ram, it'd be nice to get this thing upgraded to 36gb.

If you are close to a microcenter, their vivobook s deal for $300 is well worth the upgrade. Touchscreen, ips 300 nits, 16:10 screen, backlit keyboard, tb port for usb-c charging among other things, 256gb storage.

Doesn't it take like 10 minutes to convert S-mode to regular Windows? I did that with an ASUS S-mode laptop last year. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=co...+11+s-mode

In s mode can you only use edge browser? My other 8 gig laptop isn't s-mode-only. Wonder why this is.
