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".

These moves are just about increasing profits and every company is doing similar things today. Whether it's false bottoms in containers, smaller portions in the same size containers while increasing the price, jackets without inside pockets and/or sleeves lacking velcro strap adjustments, it's about the same thing... Money for the manufacturers...
We're living in an increasingly dumbed-down, greedy world with a race to the bottom. We are not better off than we were 20-30 years ago....
When you use Dell Financing, they double the rewards (6%), so that equates (according the checkout page) to $30. I have no doubt that I will receive them.
And, yes, they do expire, but Dell does email you to let you know in advance so you can spend them before they expire.

So, here's what I did. I reached out to a dell representative and updated that I was promised a credit for Mcafee subscription as I couldn't cancel it while placing the order(which is true because there is no option to opt out while placing the order) and i had called a dell representative over phone(not mandatory but i did in my case). So, he repeated the same standard answer as above. Then I had to push him to connect me to a manager and repeat the same story. Even though he didn't approve the refund immeditately, he did log a ticket and the credit got approved after a week.
Give it a try and if it doesn't work try again. By the time you try it third of fourth time, you would have your approach figured out based on what works. I know it may seem like a lot of legwork but well worth it when you are a slickdealer.

Generally agree. The reduce the size and charge the same price trick is the one that is particularly egregious. Just look at orange juice. Used to be sold in 64 oz\2 qt containers. Now they sell it in 52 or 54 oz containers and charge approx the same price for it. Most people are too stupid to look at the unit price when shopping.

My 17" EVOO does, and the only reason I use it is because I thought the WIFI was having issues. Now that I have that cord there, I just plug it back in whenever I put the laptop on the desk. But I don't need it.
Now what I want to gripe about is the RAM. Still 8Gb? That would be my first upgrade, and the only thing my wife's laptop (almost 4 years old now) needs to make it keep up with these new ones for her use. It's a 7000 series 2-in-one with pen support, and it was $615 at Best Buy on sale. This computer should be cheaper in my opinion (since it is on sale), but I know prices are high overall right now. Every once in a while I think about buying her a new PC and she says it works great other than having to have it plugged in most of the time. So I put in a new battery for $20 or so and she has no complaints.
Edit: I just looked at the pictures of the side of the laptop posted, and I do think they could have included an ethernet port. But, it's really a rare-use scenario where a cheap laptop like this really needs ethernet. There are plenty of business or gaming laptops that will have ethernet.
