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.

In fact here https://www.amazon.com/s?k=NBX000..._s
says k200 and k210 are compatible. Now lets keep our fingers crossed this is the right ribbon cable.
I will definitely add 8gb RAM to this thing, and maybe throw in a bigger SSD at some point, but the puny 128gb drive is actually enough for my needs right now. The screen isn't too bad. If you see this thing again for a similar price, it might be worth considering if you need a basic machine to beat on, something for an elderly person who mainly uses Facebook and looks at funny cat videos, or a kid for school work. It's no gamer but it's a good deal for what it is.

Good
Overall build quality is nice. Plastic, yes, but nice textured surfaces
Keyboard is excellent, nice large keys, good travel
Thin, light weight
Unoffensively simple
$150, add an 8gb stick and this thing is a little rocket ship
Bad
Webcam
Webcam
Webcam - almost unusable
Panel - seems washed out to me, lacking contrast, saturation
Webcam - really why even bother putting one in this thing, i haven't bought a new laptop in 12 years so maybe this is how all budget laptop cams are. I would not even Zoom with this.
Tip, if you are trying to pop the case to upgrade, try a plastic knife and start at one of the back corners by the hinge. Once those pop, you can slide the plastic knife around and not damage the plastic case.

Interesting side note - I was looking at some of the memory configuration sites ... both Crucial and Kingston claim this model supports up to 20GB RAM (4 + 16) rather than the 12GB (4 + 8) that Lenovo's own spec sheet claims. Does anyone want to be the guinea pig? If you've got a spare 16GB stick laying around that's compatible, want to slap that bad boy in and let us know what happens?
