The i5 processor has a Passmark score of 6428. Not terrible. The 500gb ssd is a bonus actually. Can't speak to the quality of the screen. But already this is better than many laptops in the 400$ range. Usually your gonna be spending 600-700$ for something better anyways
Chomebook can't compare even slightly to a windows machine. Different way of doing things. Googles eco system. If your used to google everything then that's fine, however there's a lot of software that will not work on a chromebook that works on the pc laptop
Chromebooks are ok, but if you've never used one just stick with what you know. I'd personally go with this, or the i3 MicroCenter deal if you have one nearby.

I know it's not apples to apples, but I've been on the hunt for a 400 dollar semi "disposable" laptop/mobile computer for a while.
From what I see, this is a larger screen, and because it's an actual computer, you COULD possibly do some light gaming. Because the refurb chromebook is NOT running windows. The speeds SHOULD be pretty comparable despite some pretty significant hardware differences.
I see 8 gb ram here compared to 4 gb on the refurb.
However, I am too boomer to know how much different it would make in actual practice (mostly because of the differences in operating systems).
P.S. If someone would be kind enough to teach me to fish by showing me a website to just plug things in, or compare like I do with google and video cards, I would be most grateful!

I have both the factory recertified Acer Spin 513 and the ASUS VivoBook 15 that was on sale $269.99 the other day. If you often use Chrome, Android, and often use streaming services then you'll love the Acer. It's compact, sleek, and easy to use. The 1080p IPS screen is bright and sharp for tablet use.
Personally, I'm either gaming, in which case I have a proper high end gaming pc that I built, or just browse the web, listen to music/podcasts, watch videos, check emails, shop, in which case I grab the Acer and lean back on the sofa.
The ASUS has an i3-1005G1, but both it and this Lenovo use Intel's 10th Gen UHD Graphics which are garbage. I sold a Lenovo recently that had a horrible non IPS display that gave me eyestrain, I'm afraid this Lenovo might be similar.
The Factory Recertified Acers look new I've already bought three for the family. There's no tax, and you can use the 5% off coupon, and it comes to around $180 total. It also comes with a USBC charger that I use on everything, phone, headphones, flashlight. I hate that these 10th Gen Intel Laptops still use barrel jacks for charging.
Hope this helps.

Nobody is talking about the requirement that you must be a Walmart+ member to be able to buy this? You can't even buy this with a trial Walmart+ membership.
This deal is much worse than deals from Amazon Prime. You can still buy without Amazon Prime, maybe pay extra shipping etc.
