I got this laptop this morning. I had bought the $279 frontpage deal from Wal-Mart a month earlier, but I returned it last week as soon as I saw the Target ad.

This is so much better than the Wal-Mart one.


Display: IPS panel by LG, with vastly better viewing angles and colors than the Chi-Mei TN panel on the Wal-Mart version
CPU: 4-core Tiger Lake i3 vs. the 2-core in the Wal-Mart version
WiFi: The spec page indicates a 1x1 card, but the actual card contained within is a 2x2 card; the Wal-Mart version only had a 1x1 card
Price: $10 cheaper than the Wal-Mart version


And just like the Wal-Mart version, it has two RAM slots, with one populated (DDR4-3200) and one free.

The one and only downside is that the SSD is half the size and is SATA. But if you're going to be opening the computer anyway to throw an extra stick of RAM in, it's not hard to also replace the SSD and upgrade it to something like 500GB. The other upgrade that I'm making, since I'm opening the system up anyway, is replacing the WiFi with an Intel AX201 (can find them for around $10 used on eBay) so that I get WiFi 6.

I've been looking for a laptop in the sub-$300 price bracket to replace the aging dinosaur that my parents are using, and this is by far the best I've seen yet (though it does involve a few simple upgrades to make it great).

This is absolutely a front page deal. The RAM and the storage are on the low end, but it has the quad-core version of an i3 (vs. a dual-core in most budget laptop deals).

If I had to settle for a budget laptop, I'd rather have a faster CPU and an IPS screen. Especially if RAM and SSD can later be upgraded (which I haven't verified).

What else do 80% of people do with their computers? Most people aren't engineers, video editors, or high end gamers. If you can smoothly use MS Office, surf the web, and do some media streaming/playback most people are happy. What am I missing?

Yeah... had this in my cart last night waiting for it, but having a hard time pulling the trigger because of the RAM upgrade that I'll need to do. Small SSD is irrelevant as I just use them for the OS and apps.

I missed the $300 Costco version and thought this would be a second shot, but I don't want to risk busting the keyboard off of this thing to get at the RAM slot. I nearly did that on my old HP Chromebook trying to get to that BIOS lock screw thing.

I'm also trying to avoid Windows 11 for now. The pictures show what looks to be W11 even though the description claims W10S. I've seen a lot of deals lately where people are getting W11 unexpectedly.

Hp 14" Laptop With Windows 10 Home In S Mode - Intel Core I3 11th Gen Processor - 4gb Ram Memory - 128gb Ssd Storage - Silver (14-dq2031tg) : Target $269.99
seems cheap. the 1125g4 is a quad core. read this can have ram/ssd upgraded if you unscrew the entire bottom. IPS screen too . 5% redcard as well

https://www.target.com/p/hp-14--3...A-82459042

add 32gig, load linux and you are good togo...
Stuck in S mode after swiching to 10 home? I was under the impression the change is permanent but this review states otherwise:

"worst purchase I have made. I had really high hopes. Laptop comes with windows 10 S Mode witch limits you unless you switch out. I switched Out and then my computer had an upgrade and the laptop went back to S mode and now won't let me out. I have had it less than 24 hours."

Unfortunately, not everyone is educated on how to switch to normal from S mode.

You do realize that this I3 came out in Q1 of this year (21). How is this old and 279 tax included for red card is far from 400 dollas.

I assume it's not an intel branded wifi card?
