Not a good price.

- Need to add more ram
- hard drive is sloooow
- need to install an SSD or PCIE m.2
- TN screen (bad viewing angles)
- bloat (should clean install Windows)

A pain for cheap, but not cheap if you gotta add lots of stuff. 4gb is a joke.

I mentioned that it needs RAM and HD in the post, so another $100-150.
Installing Windows is not an issue, so all depends on your level of experience and needs.

I have this model, except it has 8GB RAM.

Dell includes software to limit battery charge; I set it to 55% max. Can't comment on battery life, but you need to tinker with Windows and use SSD. At some point I'll put an NVME inside.
Performance is good, enabled core parking so generally 1-2 cores are enabled. The Seagate 5400 HDD is meh. Telemetry and McAfee services will max out the drive. Be sure to disable both.
Did I mention there's a fingerprint scanner? It's pretty fast. Another thing, Dell shipped it with INTEL HD drivers alongside AMD. This caused mine to blue screen. So... I installed the latest adrenaline drivers after using DDU. Battery drain improved afterwards. You can use generic Realtek, Broadcom, and Ryzen drivers. Microphone array ain't too bad. Obviously a dedicated Yeti is preferred, but it's tolerable.
If you put a protector on the screen looks better. Overall build quality is nice for $320: you get a silver finish and the ports are firm. Keyboard includes a full number pad, as well as staged backlighting.

How is the screen? main concern is it's not IPS so may be bad viewing angles

Unlike Intel I don't see a way to alter RGB values independently, so calibration was scratched off my list. Minimum brightness is too bright for night usage, feels more like 25%.
Text and UI elements are crisp with this being an FHD screen. However, the colors aren't as nice as my Surface Pro nor Y50-70. Those used IPS panels if I'm not mistaken.
I can't stand matte screens so I slapped a 15" screen protector on to solve that issue.

Overall, my score would be 6/10. Matte- 2, colors -1, brightness -1, bleed 0.
