-Full HD Screen, often missing in $300 laptops
-Most recent (11th gen) i3, which performs similar to 10th gen i5 in most tasks
-SDD and ram are low, but not hard to upgrade if need be
You pay dearly for more RAM and/or SDD space. This is the sweet spot at the moment
$309.99 - $200 Amex = $109.99

I get it, it's a cheap laptop, but if you want a functional windows laptop this isn't going to be a good buy
Edit: i see it has windows 11 s mode. Unfamiliar with that
Verdict: That's a no for me, dawg.
For $80 more you get quad core, double the memory, and double the hard drive.

My only gripe is this will not output higher than 1080p if you connect it to an external monitor. The built-in 1080p display is fine for me, but it would be nice to go higher when connecting to a TV. If you poke around online, you'll find a bunch of angry complaints about the lack of higher resolution when connecting to external displays. Seems to be an issue with the lower-end Dell laptops.
Also, Windows 11 is crap. Wish I bought one of these when it still came with Windows 10 S.

Any DDR4 3200mhz will work. Your first link for example is ok.
With that said I would spend just a little more for a system that already has the 8gb, better CPU, and hard drive.

Or 6 core and even better GPU for $400

As is, if you only surf the web, do some paperwork, etc. it is a decent little machine for those types of small tasks. But you try anything that needs even a slightly larger task, you would not to wait on this little guy.
My biggest complaint was they do not even give an option for a backlit keyboard, because it has no connection on the motherboard (I opened and checked.)

That's a no-brainer.

All laptops in the $500 > range are going to be less robust than higher end ones.
My little one is running his older HP laptop with no issues. I did update the memory to 16gb this Christmas.
Also when buying higher priced items like this use a CC that extends the warranty by a year.
