Forget the haters! My wife and her aunt have something similar. If the performance is the same, It's a great deal for less tech-savy uses, like home study, or for media consumption. Windows 10 works just fine once you switch out of S mode. Streaming services work, Zoom works, light browsing works (seen the wife with 10 tabs open in Chrome and Edge just fine). They pay bills, do online shopping, write emails - all that stuff. The kids play Roblox and Minecraft. Wife hooks up to the TV to do her workouts. The specs are all low-end, but it is $150.

So what are the cons? It's not thin, nor light. The camera is hot garbage to me, but the wife uses it for Zoom and hasn't complained yet, so there's that. The screen is ... meh. I mean, our phones have better screens, and I'll bet a $150 phone might as well. At first I was concerned about the 4GB of ram, but honestly, it hasn't been a problem YET. I'm sure, in the future we'll have to revisit this. I would like an ethernet jack, but it's hard to tell because they only use them in the house and we have good wi-fi. If we go on vacation, it might be a different story. Also, 128GB of storage is nothing these days. You will run out fast if you have a lot of media. But this problem isn't exclusive to this particular model, as the majority of laptops are in the same boat. So add the cost of external storage (SD card, external drive, cloud) to the overall price. Finally, the battery life is not good. You'll have to pay more to start getting decent longevity.

I'm telling you guys. Avoid these lower end Lenovo laptops. Already purchased and returned two similar models. RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded. Even running basic tasks on Windows 10 is hard for these to handle, especially with only 4GB of RAM.

According to Userbenchmark, that should be similar in CPU performance to the Ryzen 3 3200u?

Useful if you just need a Zoom machine for your kid's remote learning. Beyond that? Hard pass.

This should be a $99 laptop. At this price it should have 1080p resolution and 8Gb RAM.

Don't waste your money on this please just save a little more to buy something that will be useful past 1 year. Its a waste on money in my opinion.

Good catch, I tried to google 81WA00B1US but that didn't came up.

Soldered ram. I would value this laptop about $200 tops if not on sale, so you're saving about $50 here.
I looked up for "lenovo ideapad 3 teardown", and it seems there's a memory slot, which makes this laptop upgradeable to 12gb total ram. Perhaps it's different model, but I'm curious as to where did you get your data

It's both, 4GB memory soldered to systemboard with one DDR4 SO-DIMM socket.
