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.

It's like trying to pimp out your newly bought base honda civic with you switching out the LEDs headlights, add a spoiler, switch out rims, add in sport seats, etc. At the end, it's still a honda civic. It's still going to be a basic engine that gives you subpar performance. Just buy a better car.
I hope no one takes offense by this post. I just hope people aren't going to treat this computer as like the computer they are going to use for the next 3-5 years.
But also because its kinda fun to engineer a solution using "house money"... we only have $150 worth of skin in the game, plunking another $75/100/125 to turn it into something more capable that wont be just a cheap throwaway PC in a year or two makes it worth it - at least to me. I've spent $150 on the system, $60 on a 480gb HDD and cable (adding 4x more storage on top of the tiny 125gb), and I'm either going to drop $30 or $55 to bump the RAM to 12 or 20GB. For $90-115 on top of my original spend I should have a decent machine that can do what I want without struggle, and I'm still under what the machine normally cost.
I'm not disagreeing with your post - some of us might have lost sight of the fact that we're polishing what might be a turd here. But as long as we keep that in mind and dont go overboard with the upgrades, I think there is still some cost-effective improvements to be had.
Currently I believe limited to 1 for each customer online (which should be reasonable).

I don't think they were teachers or school personnel, seems like resellers to take them abroad.

Maybe you can report to Walmart Corporate via email, including the exact time and store #. They would have record for this specific store about the suspicious orders so they could catch it if there is really a breach to the policy by store staff/website staff.
Even if you are cheap on the initial price, but are willing to make upgrades later, there's always financing options or just straight up by a slighter high end one. And I'm not talking about $1,000 ones, but $300-500 range and trust me, there are plenty of those options with great CPU, RAM, webcam, etc.

For me, it was kind of fun trying to track down the right cable so I could add a SATA drive and collaborating with others in this thread to figure out what worked. And getting the base model for $150 for my kid to use as his first real computer to learn with and write code for Arduino and LEGO Mindstorm stuff...that's something I would have had a hard time spending $300 or $400 on, but is a no-brainer for $150.
And the fact is, while you and I wouldn't spend a bunch of money to trick out a Honda Civic, there are plenty of people that do and consider the result to be worth the time, money and effort. It would be a waste of money for me, but it works for them.

While the product description shows the wrong item #, the pictures and the box I received correctly showed "NBX0001K210", which apparently is the correct part since it worked.
Plus an old SSD, I would say a less than $200 notebook to do tax, banking, store important documents and backup is a pretty good deal.

How would you get it free if it's late? My Amazon Prime deliveries are always late, do I need to call in to complain?

Don't discount the performance of the i3 in those laptops compared to the pentium in this laptop. That i3 is a true 10th gen CPU (ice lake) and run circles around the 10th gen pentium (comet lake) in this laptop; which essentially is a rebranded, tweaked, and optimized 5 year old 6th gen CPU (skylake).
No offense and not trying to step on anyone's toes; just trying to save everyone some $$$ and provide the best value for their hard earned money. IMO, if you are going to pump another $100 or so into this laptop... the other laptops in the $250-$300 range provides much better value and longevity.

But once you plunk $75/100/125 into it, it's no longer $150 worth of skin in the game. Its $225/$250/$275 + time. IMO, if you are going to spend that much, get the $250 i3 HP or $299 i3 Lenovo with 1080P IPS screen mentioned in the other slickdeals threads. They both have larger RAM and Storage space... and did I mention a i3.

Thats the one I got. Ordered Monday night and estimated delivery is today but i haven't received a shipped notification yet. Will post update once I receive and get it installed. Was quite happy to have found that listing; was going to order the 4GB version of the Crucial mentioned in this thread but noticed it was 1Rx8 configuration which means 8 chips on ram stick. The laptop's existing ram is 1Rx16 which means 4 chips and this stiick matches that configuration; and it's cheaper! Not sure if the x8 config would have caused any performance issues in terms of enabling dual channel mode but it doesn't hurt to match configs with whats existing on the laptop.
So for the ram, if they don't shipped by today, I get a refund and they assumed it is lost. But usually I get the product much later even up till 1 week later.
But they finally found it and now is in the distribution center.

The next day a neighbor brought it over to our house and said it was left at his front door the day before. Double bonus
