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.

This should be a $99 laptop. At this price it should have 1080p resolution and 8Gb RAM.
it's not 1080p?
only 1366 x 768?

This year all retailers are going this route - online deals spread out over the entire month instead of in person shopping...

This machine will run the latest Ubuntu 20.04 just fine with flying colors actually.
there is no telling if Ubuntu installation can finish without issues, on a $100 or $2000 laptop

You must be new. Ubuntu works great on a raspberry pi 4 which is much lower specs than this.

Is it worth saving $50 over the $200 ryzen 3 motile that was on sale pre covid? I've been using that machine as the $200 benchmark and a lot of these machines don't really compare, even at that price point or above
I'm honestly really sad I didn't grab one of those. I suggested it to a friend as a replacement laptop for her daughter in HS, and then during COVID my Flipbook's hinge broke. It would have been the perfect replacement. Frown

I feel your pain. I actually had one and for a dumb reason I returned. Didn't think I needed it. Then everyone started work from home. my old ivy bridge i-5 machine isn't as zippy anymore, and the battery is completely dead

Not everyone is an 'enthusiast' pc/laptop person. Grandparents, kids, simple tasks = this laptop would be perfect. Buy the kiddos a decent 1080p monitor and leave this laptop closed on the table: this is a bang-up streaming box.

If you're in the market for anything i5-i9, 9th or 10th gen/Ryzen 3, 5, or 7. . . . yeah, this would look like garbage.

Hell no... 4gb ram and can't upgrade...
Windows takes up most of it so it'll be lagging all the time when multi tasking, spend a bit more to get one that can be upgraded an maybe already have 8gb ram
