I bit.. hope it works out. Screen good, fingerprint reader, backlight keyboard, 8gb (can go to 20), so really other than more cores/faster CPU, not finding better at this point for the things that are important to me. Touch screen would be nice, but that would be for sure more in this size. Used coupon listed on site for free after coupon security camera if you spend $200+.
Link please, no info on free security camera coupon

Click Deals at the top, then coupons. You can see choices of items. Camera is 4th. I am sure it isn't all that, so might choose camera light ring. Keep expectations low for free.

Quote from twinturboz :
IPS level is another jargon for VA panels (vertical alignment) panels they are just as good as IPS and often have better contrast ratio however it is not a TN, they have these on display and it's easy distinguish because of the wide viewing angles.
Further reading if accurate, it appears to be trademark issue regarding IPS name usage, so Asus screen likely just as good, just can't say it that way because not LG made panel.

I was actually thinking about that because it's a LG trademark, I saw the display on display and it appears like a IPS very wide angles like 170 degrees worth. The one they had on display at the store had a identifier as AU Optronics.

Pretty good for the price it has a fingerprint sensor and backlit keyboard which the target one did not have plus it has a 1080P display the target one did not, memory is upgradable to 20GB, 4GB is soldered and one slot for up to 16GB module which occupied by a 4GB stick. You can also add in a 2.5" SATA drive in the open bay, Overall for the price seems solid.
The one kiyoshi67 with i3-1125g4 is faster with 10K points in benchmarks as compared to i3-1115g4 with 6K points and 4 actual cores as compared 2 actual cores. So, for multithreaded apps, that will perform much better than this one. For very basic usage, may not be relevant.

I'm new to budget laptops, what's wrong with this one? I wanted that target $279 deal but missed it, and looking for something similar.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this, in fact its better than the staples i3 (128gb SSD & 4 gb RAM) @ $279 which worked out well for a family member even after the win-11 upgrade. Its quick ... I upgraded the ram to 12 gb and its super quick. If all you're looking for is to browse, run some windows software (office, tax s/w etc.) and watch videos - this will work extremely well for most of us. Its a great deal if you ask me, I might have switched to this if I wasnt happy with the Staples i3. I purchased the Target $159 version (64gb SSD) and that was way too slow after a while with zero upgrade options and decided to return it

Ahh thank you for that! That's why that target deal was so good.
My guess is this ASUS deal is fine, just not a killer deal without the I3-1125G4?
Just not great bang for your buck. Spend a little bit more and get an expontentially better processor. Or spend a little less and you can get a better (used) Thinkpad

  • i3 with 4 cores/ 8 threads
  • IPS 1080p instead of TN
  • No soldered ram, upgradable to 32GB probably 64GB
  • $269
Why asus is better:
  • Backlit keyboard and a 2.5" bay drive

For 2c/4 threads, this i3-1115 will always be faster than the 1125 - UNLESS you are hitting those 4 cores/8 threads with that specific workload.

For $80 more this other Target FP deal will enhance to 15.6" screen, 6 core processor and backlit keyboard. You can also save 5% with red card.

Thanks, this is exactly the type of breakdown I was hoping for! The target one actually was 1080p, but you're spot on for everything else. Thank you.
Check this $450 Target deal as well if 15.6" screen, better processor and backlit keyboard are important to you.

Quote from mickybluesb :
i3-1115G4 Passmark score according to cpubenchmark.net if anyone is wondering is 6349.

To put that into perspective… its exactly the same as an i7 3770 which is an older third gen ivy bridge desktop cpu. Not a terrible processor. And it's gonna have modern instruction sets to run virtual backgrounds just fine for zoom and play 4k videos no problem but don't expect to do main stream video editing or graphic or cpu intensive tasks with this system
Just to support what mickybluesb said above... this laptop would be *absolutely fine* for productivity. If you need something for work (e.g. MS Office) this is a great deal.
