Quote from RobertD2325 :
Ebay refunds the person by pulling the money from the sellers account. Don't bet on a "free" laptop as that won't happen.

Actually what you just stated is partly true. When it says eBay money back guarantee, even if the person is a scammer, you can still get your money back. So how does eBay refund your money if they can't get money back from the seller? There's the refund policy of the eBay seller and there's eBay in case an issue arises and the seller refuses to respond.

I know someone who basically got a free laptop because the seller refused to communicate over some condition issues that were not transparent. The seller stopped responding after 7-10 days of bad communication and submitted to eBay to step in and within 48 hours eBay refunded the money and said the case was closed and there was no need to return the laptop.

Dell lists it for $349 https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...igurations

And since there is a configuration with 2 sticks of ram (8+4 oddly) I'm guessing there is an open slot.

Looks great but Order won't arrive until Dec 8… Woof! That's a dealbreaker for me. Supply chain delays are real. Going to hold out and hope to pick something up before then.

That's with windows 10 home instead of 11 pro, though.

Intel CPUs have proprietary QuickSync which speeds up encoding and decoding so they punch above their weight class in video editing, but that can only do so much on a low end laptop. If youre talking about casual video editing like 1080p60 for casual use yeah it can do that. If youre talking about using it for professional work, 4k hdr 30+ minute videos, you'll need to spend around $600-$800 for a laptop.

Quote from The_Love_Spud :
Not broken, but the real deal at this price would be the i3-1125G4 with 4 cores / 8 threads. That CPU is really i5-level performance and flexibility with i3 branding; only the graphics is "old" but presumably at this price point you're not looking for anything "gaming" beyond Minecraft or Roblox.

The 1115G4 is the 2 core / 4 thread model that is functional, but more comparable to the Pentium and Celeron CPUs you see in Chromebooks. These lower horsepower CPUs are killer with Chrome OS, but demanding of more patience when operated with Windows. At this price point you might do better to shop for a refurb/off-lease laptop with a 4 core i-series CPU. In fact, I see that a refurb HP 15-dy2035tg 15.6" is available at Micro Center with that exact 1125G4 i3 I mentioned earlier.

Good luck!
Jon
You're right about the 1125G4 - it's a Core i5 in all but name, with just slightly weaker graphics. I got the 14-inch Inspiron 5000 (model 5410) with that processor a few weeks ago with 8GB RAM, one slot open; 256GB SSD, for $450. It's $500 right now, but worth the price premium given all the improvements (2x the cores, 2x the storage, backlit keyboard, aluminum construction, USB-C supporting PD and display, much bigger battery) over this 15-inch 3000 series. I'd keep my eyes out for the 5410 during Black Friday - we'll probably see it for $400.

I read the i3-1125g4 runs hot. True? Ryzens seem to run cooler---I never see Ryzens advertised here!

I think the pricing tiers you highlight are exactly my thresholds for the i3-1125G4 (and are valid for many Intel i-series CPU laptops). $500 is an acceptable price for these systems, but when they drop below $400 they are solid buys. The secret for the 1125G4 is that when that system goes below $400 plenty of value shoppers might inappropriately dismiss such a system as just another i3.

Good luck!
Jon

Although there is a case to be made that all of the latest generation of Intel CPUs run hot, in reality this can be a highly subjective measure and truly how hot a CPU runs is a function of the system around which it is designed and the performance targets set by the manufacturer. The i5-10210U in my Galaxy Chromebook runs "hot" by any measure (typically having a laptop exceed 95 degrees isn't considered very leg-safe) but Samsung also specifically opted for a passive design so this thing is dead-silent in operation.

Definitely take the heat management into consideration when comparing these low power systems, as the same CPU can produce significantly different performance results in systems with differing design philosophies (say, a thin and light vs. a service-ready enterprise laptop).

Good luck!

My concern with "running hot" is fan noise (should have stated I guess). Ryzens seem to be quiet because they run cooler (though could depend on manufacturer). So I guess my question is, will the i3-1125 run "louder"? HP would be the brand (consumer-grade). I imagine so (HP isn't very high quality)................

My 5410 does run rather hot. But that's true of all of Intel's chips right now - they are behind AMD in efficiency.
