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.

2 $150 and used 2x256gb nvme leftover including $47 of 2x8gb , which are total is 347 plus taxes.
Due to virtual academy for whole semester/yearly, We borrow chromebook from school and my kids complain on how slow chromebook while doing goggle meet and google class.
Long short story. They do not complain anymore...
Speaking of the cam, it is the same quality with loaned chromebook from school.
$347 total instead of 299 i3. I prefer. This entry level laptop. My kids are happy. I am happy too😁
Notes
Minimally you have to install 8gb ram. Seeing on average 8gb of 12gb used overall. Google chrome mostly use..
Default 4g is to low.....make the system crawling slow....
BY the way I remembered, people need to pay attention not to put stuff on top of the notebook cover. It is very soft and flex. It may damage and break the Lcd panel on the other side.
My kids complaining endless looping on loading. Got kick-out duri g google meet.
Once you reached the memory limit. Chrome os will kill or cut off some running process. Brand new-Loaned chromebooks are amd a4 and 4g ram 🤣....
This deal entry level laptop:
Add minimally 4g ram that is total 8gb. You will see differences. Check memory usage.
I added external 32" qhd too. Better for reading and enough space. Lastime I checked .. 1.5g memory reserved for gpu😁.
The socket is really just like a short standoff bolt, but you need to move it before installing he longer drive because if you don't, it will press against the middle of the drive and the original screw isn't long enough to reach the motherboard w/o it.
It should be pretty obvious once you open it up and start removing the existing NVMe drive.

But.... the cpu is weak: amd a4 https://www.amd.com/en/products/a...-9120c-apu with 4g ram.
I checked the price when we received the loaned chromebook right away The market brand new price was $200-$250.

Remember your other onboard ram will also be slower at 2133mhz instead of the 2400mhz
Only 2 left.
