I'm thrilled they aren't using EMMC for once.
I'm typing on Makulu Shift that not only allows you to use several desktops at once; but also lets you load it into RAM (yep, you can remove the usb stick and keep going without it using internal drives at all) - and you can even change to all the other desktops *while it's still loaded into just RAM*.

It looks like ram and SSD is upgradable.

This laptop is really bad, even for the $200ish price point you can do better.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank The_Love_Spud
Yes, this will boot and run Windows. But realistically this machine is going to demand some patience in Windows even for light use. Your best bet is something like the $340 Target deal that floated around as of late as those quad-core i-series systems more honestly represent the appropriate point of entry for a new, retail Windows laptop.
If your budget simply cannot go above $200 you may need to consider more serious questions about whether a Windows laptop is really what's needed (and, if so, why isn't a refurb device under consider).
Good luck!

I own one in this class, with a notably weaker CPU, my middle school kid uses it. It seems OK, so this could meet the needs for a lot of basic uses. And if the user puts a lot of wear on the computer, better to do so at this price point.
But TBH I'd look for something with better CPU, RAM and SSD if budget allows and it's something you might use for a few years.
- That isn't really saying much
- The meaningfulness of this raw metric gets further limited by the 4GB of RAM
This system isn't broken, and with a RAM upgrade would be pretty acceptable. However, the best option for most in this space is something with solid 4 core CPU like the $340 deal referenced earlier (that also incorporates the RAM upgrade). That's a very minimal price difference for what is likely to be a sufficiently different daily driver experience.and
(since at boot 4GB of RAM is typically going to be 40-60% utilized; opening a single program is then likely to busy the computer with page file activity)
Good luck!

I'm on a CPU that benchmarks about half of what this one does, with the same amount of RAM, at a slower speed. I can have Diablo 2 running with 20 browser tabs, microsoft office, music playing software, and more. It makes no noticable difference in performance with things like these.
The DDR is upgradable which is good.
