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 have a Lenovo 100S 11" chromebook with a 1366x768 display and the pixels are huge. I can't imagine what an extra 3" on the diagonal with the same pixel count is likes and who thought that would be okay in this decade.
Now I need a laptop to replace my kid's 10 years old pentium dualcore laptop, still work but it's getting a bit too slow opening apps. I think this $150 laptop will work great for him. The CPU is at least 300x faster than the pentium dualcore.

Its not the most terrible screen, but TN panels can be tiring to look at after a while. Sadly, I have an old generic winbook I purchased for about 120 bucks 2 years ago. Other than anemic specs (32gb storage, 4gb ram and an atom processor) it actually has a touch IPS FHD display.
Im going for the HP-. It is more than double the cost, but you get a better screen, twice the HP, twice the ram, 4x the storage, and a numeric (and possibly backlit) keypad!
I know that the description here and on Lenovo's own site for this model clearly states that the memory module is soldered onto the motherboard, and that would make sense from a cost-saving perspective during manufacturing.... but just in case it isn't, the HMM shows how to replace it. Here's that link, and I'll go see if I can dig up that thread.

Again, I am fairly certain that the memory IS soldered on and is not user-replacable.
Here's that other thread:
