I own one - bought in 3 months ago for $30 more than this. First, realize it is no speed demon and the screen isn't sharp. Colors are faded and text does not pop off the display. With that said, I don't regret the purchase, I get about 7-8 hours of near continuous use out of a single charge and the laptop is very light. Typing is fine - no backlight but considering it is plastic, the keyboard doesn't feel wobbly to me. When my main computer borked due to a firmware upgrade, I relied on this Chromebook to Citrix into my work and was able my office work and some light coding and systems administration without difficulty.

It does have the ability to run a virtualized Linux container, so I was able to download software like Gimp and VS Code and run it locally on the Chromebook. All in all, for $99 most people will be pleased if they go into the purchase with the right frame of mind. As a back up computer or an cheap entertainment device, it's awesome. If you are used to a nicer rig, of course you won't like it as a primary computer.

Mediatek 8173c is from 2015. For comparison, Intel Celeron N4000 is 2017 and Celeron N4020 is 2019. There are a lot of benchmark scores floating around. I'm not up on the methodology differences, but a casual review suggests that both Celerons are significantly better than the Mediatek, but the Mediatek is better than most Celerons found in older models (the N2000s and N3000s series). $99 is a good price but I don't think exceptional. Maybe wait for a N4000 or N4020 at that price, coming soon?

I trust Lenovo over any other laptop manufacturer, but what the heck is a Mediatek processor? can't even find benchmark stats for it to compare it to something known...

This is roughly the lower limit of acceptable Chromebook performance IMO.
