This is an excellent deal. For the price the dual-core processor is inevitable - and it's about as fast as a 10th-gen (Comet Lake) quad-core i5: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...3542vs3877. For typical browsing / office tasks, this is more than adequate as long as you throw in another 4GB or 8GB of RAM. The computer is easy to open up (but be careful and use a pry tool, start from the hinges).

What people miss when the compare top-line specs are some nice "quality of life" features that you don't normally find at this price:

- IPS or equivalent display (Dell calls is WVA = wide viewing angle, apparently because LG has a trademark on IPS, but anyway I've used this laptop and it's a decent panel for the price)
- Very nice build quality - aluminum top lid and keyboard deck
- Backlit keyboard
- Full-function USB-C with Power Delivery and display
- Large battery - 54 Whr is about 30-40% larger than normal on budget laptops
- Intel WiFi 6 (instead of the flaky Realtek wifi found on most cheaper laptops)
ETA: And a fingerprint reader too (built into the power button)

Compared to the HP Target deal, this is $35 dollars more and you go from quad core to dual core cpu. So you will lose multi-core processing power but the single-core speeds should be better since this is clocked higher. GPU is the same. You gain a brighter screen (300nits vs. 250nits probably), much larger battery (53WHr vs 41Whr), .1lbs less weight, slightly smaller dimensions, and aluminum case. Honestly I'd take this one for the vast majority of people. Better screen, bigger batter, and more premium build makes more sense than a ~40% multi-core processing power for most people.

Edit: Probably more like 60-70% multi-core processing power

If you can add 4GB of RAM to it, it's a good offer in that price range with the Core i3.

Not a terrible price for an internet browsing like laptop. The processor is only 2 core which is the biggest drawback but it's cheap. Walmart and others have comparable or lower prices for machines with these specs if they run out. You should be able to stack Chase offers 10% off Dell or Amex offers/card benefits on this as well.

Any of those 10% offers still active? I've seen them earlier this year, but I quickly checked a couple of my accounts and they're not there. I might bite with another 10% off.

I don't have it on 3 chase cards I checked. Also my amex offer is only for a $599 spend.

This one over the Celeron, definitely. Benchmark score is 4X higher, 1080p full HD vs. 768p, WiFi 6. Not that all is needed for what you indicated, for ~$30 more it's the better choice.

they are both intel, but the i3 is probably 2x better than the celeron. 4gb ram is the limiting factor for windows (in both systems), you want to get 8gb ram at the very minimum.

All you have to do is google the model number to come up with this: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208652/intel-core-i31115g4-processor-6m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html
