I got the Ryzen5 16gb RAM and 256 SSD for 349 a year ago. Stay clear of this laptop, it is no longer booting up

Decent price, but needs upgradeable memory and storage. If they are soldered/no expansion, this thing is worthless for anything other than very light browsing and Netflix.

Which deal? This one? https://slickdeals.net/f/15620980-dell-inspiron-15-3000-laptop-15-6-1080p-i3-1115g4-4gb-ddr4-128gb-nvme-300-sd-cashback-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

The Dell is significantly better. Better build quality, better storage speeds, better processor, better webcam, etc.

If youre trying to buy a <$300 laptop wait for the dell to come back (it goes on sale often) or buy one of the better spec'd refurbished gateways like this one, this isnt a good deal.

Gateways still exists? TIL
Well, the name still exists. Branding rights were bought by an otherwise unrelated company which slaps the name onto Chinese OEM laptops.

Internally, there might be a 2.5" SATA spot or a m.2 like in the previous cheap Gateway GWTN156 models, so that might be a decent upgrade. I am pretty sure the RAM is probably not upgradeable, if it is though, then this might actually be a decent deal.

One way to find out is to open it up to see the upgradeability. Having a legit SSD (over the crappy eMMC) will still make this a fast laptop for general purpose (school, work, etc).

I wonder if this ryzen 3 is worth $65 more than the Celeron unit I bought for my dad. (scored this for $184 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gatewa.../205077609)

Same 128gb and 4gb ram. Obviously it's a better processor, but not sure my dad will notice any difference.

Yeah definitely Ryzen is miles ahead of a Celeron without a question

If I were you and buying for my parents I would opt for the Ryzen. It's a more efficient processor and it quite a bit more powerful. While what your dad does might be basic internet use, you're ensuring a few extra years of use without the device slowing down. Also, you can upgrade the RAM in this computer but in the other one you cannot. So you're future proofing the laptop for 65 bucks which is worth that cost imo. The Celeron processors are bottom of the barrel processors.
