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.

why would suggest 2666 of only 2400 is supported?

You can get an 8GB (2400 or better) stick on eBay for $27 shipped (plenty of listings). For an extra $10, you might as well get the extra 4gb.

Microcenter also has Crucial 8GB 2666 for $24 if you live near one.

Because it's backwards compatible with 2400 and it's less money than any 2400 stick that I found. Sorry, I thought this would be obvious.

You just need to consider your audience that's all. Not every body is into computer.

This is free take-it-or-leave-it advice. So no, I don't really care to consider the audience lol. Further, I'm not a tech nerd in the least (I wish I were). So if even I can do a quick Google search or two to find answers to simple questions (like RAM MHz compatibility), then pretty much anyone else can do the same thing.

Which 8GB memory card on eBay do you recommend at a good price? I have a habit of buying an incompatible part.

Gee, I don't know... Maybe to be nice and help people find a good deal on a component that will enhance their experience with the laptop a bit. As I stated, anyone can do a quick Google search to fill in gaps in their knowledge (like I and many others do all the time).

Here are some for around $27.99 that are readily available in large quantities:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ramaxel-...V&LH_BIN=1

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingston...l&LH_BIN=1

There are a bunch more listings for similar products for slightly less, but that only have 1 or 2 available. When buying, ensure that it's DDR4 laptop RAM with a 2400 (or greater) MHz speed. The MHz is indicated by a number such as 2133, 2400, 2666, etc.

Is it pretty easy to install?
