Just be aware the 3450u is a couple of generations old.
Not a terrible processor, but the 4xxx Series is a huge step up.
The 5xxx Series is another large step from there. (Caveat: Not all 5xxx are equal, some are close to being rebranded 4xxx depending on model number. Generally Odd = Older and Even = True 5xxx)

Had been looking for a Touchscreen Windows laptop with decent configuration for my son's home schooling and basic gaming. This is the only one I could find in ~400 range.

They do not have NVME. Just SATA-3. Equivalent to a standard SSD. The BIOS seems to not be done properly. The MB says they have NVME but the BIOS will not recognize it. You just get a black screen.

"The AMD Ryzen 5 3450U is a mobile SoC that was announced in Q2 2020 as a refresh."

It is only a year old. Saying two generations old generally would mean came out a long time ago. However as you state huge improvements over those two generations.

It is Zen+ based (2nd generation) then Zen 2 then Zen 3 (4th Gen)

This is more similar to an I3 gen 11 some gen 10 i3 are faster.​

Open boxes not worth it for 20 bux less. Get new.

Says "Windows 11 in S mode". No thanks.

Yes think I will be returning my second Gateway. NVME is six times faster. Plus why make such crappy BIOS. Does it have other problems. Why use SATA-3 at all as it is so old. My daughters five year old HP has NVME.

This seems to be a great deal. Touchscreen is nice sometimes.

No USB C is strange but three USB's. Again just HDMI 1.4. No ability for two monitors. It is also over 4 pounds so quite heavy for a plastic laptop.
But having a 2.5" bay for another SSD is nice.

Would you link to similar laptop with 5 and even?

Or share the model number?

I'm not exactly following the logic.

220 nits. So not good for outdoors or bright rooms.
