Display is 300 nits 72% NTSC or 99% sGB panel which is very difficult to find at this price range. Also, both the memory slots are user upgradable and you can go up to 64GB, max supported by the Processor.

Go to Page 17 and you will the that it has two display options, 220 nits with 45% NTSC whereas 300 nits with 72% NTSC.

Nice screen, keyboard is somewhat annoying since it's gray and back lit. You would have to turn of the keyboard lights during daytime to see the letters properly.
Over all it is thin and light but the exterior shell is plastic not aluminum, which fooled me into thinking it was aluminum but I was surprised when I received it.
RAM is upgradable, I added another 8gb stick.
Here is a link to the RAM stick sold by Dell. It was on sale when I purchased it for $52 now its $77. You can find similar RAM for cheaper on Amazon. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...023/memory
all in all good purchase for the price but make sure you test it well during the 30 return period because Dells customer service is terrible.
Edit: even though you get a free 1 year of McAfee included in the price, Dell for some reason bill it on a separate line in the invoice. my invoice showed $37 line for McAfee. I called and requested for a refund, and after some haggling the rep refunded the McAfee charge. so I ended up paying less than $500 for the laptop. make sure you give this a try if you decide to go for it.
And as someone else said, the amount of users that would actually use an ethernet port on a laptop 14" or under is probably under 5%. It's not a desktop replacement, and is designed for portability. I personally don't know what situation I'd ever plug in an ethernet to my laptop instead of using wifi. I could see doing that if you are buying a desktop replacement laptop, but not an ultra portable 14".

I understand your $5 part argument but your other part of the argument i dont agree with. Its a laptop that's meant to be portable and most users now a days do not have to plug in their laptops to an Ethernet port so its definitely not a deal breaker along the "why would anyone buy such a thing" lines.
I work on a laptop at times and on wifi as I have a strong stable wifi but also have a dedicated office Desktop for that as well. For the laptop if I am going to be setting up on a desk to work from then I am already connecting other stuff; wireless keyboard/mouse, dual monitors, speakers, headset so plugging 1 more USB connection for a LAN wouldn't be foreign or unheard. I actually have a USB Hub and a USB C Hub to do just that (both of which have a LAN port) so everything is connecting to my laptop with a single USB/USBC cable....

PS. I bought a Lenovo 17" from Costco that was $1800 and that did not have a LAN port probably due to it trying to stay on the thinner side but did include a USB to LAN dongle....

Check around for dell discount codes too, as many times they will stack with what ever the sale price is.
