This one is going to annoy a lot of people, but you don't really need more than a dual core with hyper threading for web work. 46,000 Octane which would kill all of last years best Chromebooks!
Ok, the main pain point for some will no touch, which I personally never use. The second is 4GB?! Yes, 4GB still works well -0 IF you have a powerful processor to help it. I still daily use a Dell Inspiron 14 CB 7486 with 4GB RAM with a i3 that gets ~33-35k Octane. Only has issues if I get ridiculous with tabs and never shutting down. And by ridiculous I mean 35+ tabs in each of 2-3+ windows.
Oh, don't forget to check your cashback sites!
What's good about it?
Processor - Fast
Screen 14" and 300nits
Lenovo keyboard can only suck so much
Not enough storage - go to ebay and find a used nvme drive.
Yeah, you can buy a cheap windows computer that can "do more", but it'll remind you it's windows. Chrome OS - just do whatever it is you want to do. No maintenance. But that's Chrome OS in general, you'll just do it a lot faster than even... a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. for instance.

Yeah, under really crazy strain you might notice the 713 difference though.
