Good laptop but non-HD screen is a deal killer It's ridiculous to use non-HD screens at these times.

One of my biggest tech regrets was getting a 768p laptop for schoolwork -- word processing, research, collaborative work, etc. is cramped and lousy (especially on a 15"). Anything less than 1080p is simply not worth it in my opinion.

Got the kids ideapads for homework during covid. They work great, are snappy, good battery life and I paid $250 each for something very similar to this but my god, the screens have a view angle of like 1*. They are built how you would expect a $300 laptop would be but that screen. Probably still going to be a good purchase but for any future purchase of mine I'll definitely

It is HD but not Full HD. It is higher than 720p. The deal breaker is windows S, if you are only using it for internet browsing it's fine. But you cannot download any program from outside of Microsoft store.
No idea why you're down voted when you're 100% right. Anything 720p or higher is HD.

Dual core, 720p display, 0.3 MP webcam is meh. Pass.

Probably TN panel too

I still recommend refurb motile 14 at eBay vipoutlet $300. 1080p IPS, 256GB, 8GB RAM, Ryzen 5 quad core 3500u. 2.5lb only. Windows 10.

Don't buy garbage people.
Yes, I got a $230 Motile on ebay from VipOutlet. Great little machine, it even has a backlit keyboard!

768P screen is a big no no at 2020 regardless of how low the price is.

Speaking of motile, I couldn't find anything googling, but is there any info out there on whether they're going to continue making laptops or not? I'm on a non urgent hunt for a laptop and a 4 series ryzen 5 at the prices they were at last holiday season sounds like an automatic winner

In regards to the TN panel..i'm not that picky as I mainly only use the laptop for browsing and remoting into work computer with citrix.. I received the below from Office Depot with a TN display and its kind of annoying when I do work on the computer and I am looking at the screen from different angles (even more bothersome when I work outside) It seems like the following Lenovo with an IPS display is actually cheaper at Walmart- would getting an IPS display work better? Thanks

What i purchased with TN

This is $100 high for a laptop with this garbage display. This is what I paid for my Ideapad with 1080p IP display and USB-C.

people can sh!t on this deal all they want but the fact remains that, barring isolated exceptions, you won't find even a used computer with these specs for this price - let alone a brand new one. we're talking about $300 bucks here people. anything else new with an ssd, intel processor, 8GB of ram, bluetooth, and hdmi port is easily in the +$500 category. if you're looking for an A/V laptop, maybe the higher screen res is more valuable to you. if you're looking for a machine to use for work/school-related tasks (word processing, email, internet browsing, spreadsheets, etc.), this is a great deal.

Good laptop to give to your parents or grandparents who don't know what 1080p or 720 means.
