Well, because people do all kinds of things on Windows machines that get people in trouble.

I think they were looking for the security of a Chromebook which is basically bulletproof for older people or just want to do web things without worry.

You know you are older when you slip into talking about MB. Some day they will make fun of us for slipping into talking about GB!!!

Ended up picking up the 4GB version on BF for $300. Kept going to a black screen, and when I added a 1TB Sata HD, the stability went to absolute crap. With 4GB it was dog slow, and when I added an 8GB module (total 12GB RAM) it was fast.

Ended up returning it because of the black screen / freezing problem. Had high hopes with a $300 laptop lol.
Just get a used business-class laptop.

The only i5 laptops that were $249 - $299 a year ago would have been used and several generations old.
Except the time Costco was selling those 14" HP laptops for $279 2 years ago that said i3 on the box, but due to a shortage of chips, they shipped with i5s.

Weirdest thing about this is no USB-C. That omission seems the biggest deterrent but still seemingly good choice for the money.
Its on purpose. You pay for features. That's the commercial world of products.

Is it possible to upgrade Ssd to 256gb on this laptop?
It does not show option for upgrade. DIY could void the warranty.
My suggestion, if you need storage for extra data, you can buy a SD/microSD card 256GB for about 27$

I was going to mentioned the HP laptop at Costco as well. I bought last year's model ($349) for my daughter so she could use it for school, instead of the school-issued chromebook (even though she used the HP laptop more for Minecraft and Roblox than for school stuffs).

I think I would still take the current HP laptop over this Dell laptop.

HP has 256gb (you'll run out of space real quick with 128gb), back-lit keyboard, it's 14" (smaller overall size) and 0.5 lbs lighter for more portability. Plus, the 2 years warranty with Costco. I don't know about the current HP model but last year's model came with a small 45w power brick (more like a power Lego comparing to my Lenovo 300 watts power brick).

My daughter's HP laptop has a second RAM slot that I added another 8gb to it that I bought from Ebay for $33.

Costco has both models on display, though only HP on sale. I checked side by side yesterday and will pull trigger in Dell

My uncle uses one with AMD as daily driver with 8gb ram it's good enough for videos email and reading stuff online. Decent build I would say. Wish there was higher CB amounts, I have my Amex Dell $200 and about $60 in Dell rewards so may just jump when there is like 8 or 10 percent cb since these go on sale often. My friend overseas still using a netbook this will be a quite an upgrade lol!

Is anyone having any black screen crashing issues with windows?

Thinking of re-buying this laptop - I had the 4gb version and it kept crashing when I tried to add a 2.5" SATA 1TB SSD and I returned it.

Unless you absolutely must have a 15-inch laptop, the 14-inch Inspiron 5000 (5410) [dell.com]is a much better buy. $470, but it's easy to get a 10% coupon (email signup) to make it $423

The 5410 gets you:
- 2x the cores (the i3-1125G4 performs almost identically to i5 and i7 processors)
- 2x the SSD storage
- much nicer build quality (aluminum lid and keyboard deck)
- much lighter at 3.2 lbs
- full-service USB-C (that supports DisplayPort and power)
- about 40% higher battery capacity
- backlit keyboard
- fingerprint reader

I get it that some have limited budgets, but I'd do anything to stretch the budget $83 for all that.

Dell is terrible. I'm waiting over 6 weeks for a computer they sold me that they didn't have in stock. Any other industry that does this is a scam. Don't buy dell ever. I bought Lenovo and even some random Walmart brand and never had nonsense games like this from a manufacturer. The walmart brand never gave me issues either where dell is notorious for heating problems. Stay away from Dell.
