I just go this laptop. For other spec, i am not sure 16GB was necessary but i guess for $400 (for 14.1 inch) and $429 bucks (15.6 inch), i can't complain.

I love the appearance and overall but have 0 appreciations for mouse pad/keyboard design:

1. No back-lit light (I don't care personally)
2. Power button is located as a button on the keyboard (top-right corner. Next to 'Delete' button and above 'Home' button, which i use a lot... One miss-press and the computer will go to sleep mode lol)
3. Mouse pad is located at a really awkward position. You can see right edge of it stretched out all the way close to Alt button. So your palm will unknowingly touch it a lot if you type a lot.
4. Charger head (?) is big like a block. (Not a deal breaker)
5. Mouse pad makes 'tick' sound like hitting plastic when i just touch it gently (not even pressing or tapping it)... Not sure if this is only occurring for me.
I love how quick people are to bash a $300 laptop with 16gb RAM. Lol. This community...
But for $314, you get a 4-core 8-thread CPU and 16GB RAM. Superb for kids online etc. It is low budget laptp, don't set higher expecation.

I think these are all valid observations that summarize what buying a lowest-cost OEM laptop is like. The guts of this configuration/price are solid, but in operation this could make for a poor laptop experience because so little was invested in critical items like the keyboard and trackpad - items whose problems don't become apparent without regular use.

I daresay this could make a great daily-driver/desktop-replacement for the right application (I'd certainly have no qualms about swapping this in for an aging desktop PC or that laptop that you never actually use as a mobile device... assuming you're plugging in a spare keyboard, mouse, and external monitor). Of course, full-on desktop PCs are also getting cheaper (there was a $300 Dell posted just yesterday) and if I were truly shopping for a laptop at around this price point I'd still want to focus on something like refurb units from a major brand (Dell, HP) where some of the issues noted tend to be slightly more solved.

Good luck!
Jon

I'm assuming you're on Windows 10. Start - Power and sleep settings - Additional power settings - Choose what the power buttons do ... You should know what to do from there.

I'd think you are better off searching fb marketplace place for good local deals or try hunting Amazon warehouse for open box.
the specs are not bad on this one, i usually skeptical off random refurbished products.
