This laptop has no microSD slot, and the chassis (bottom cover) doesn't have the opening for said slot. Consumer Reports' review[consumerreports.org] of the exact E210MA-212.HCW11 laptop shows that (and CR always take their own review photos).
Best Buy used the wrong Asus stock photo, and in general they have been sloppy with product listings (copy-and-paste from other products by workers who probably have little tech knowledge or interest). Just look at "Screen Resolution: 1600 x 768 (HD)" for one -- I've seen numerous laptops on BB with this resolution error so this copy-and-paste error have been propagating for quite a while and nobody there GAF.
Personally, I'm surprised that Asus bothered to make 2 versions of the Celeron mainboard, with and without microSD card (and the corresponding plastic bottom covers with and without slot hole, one for each chassis color), yet kept the (arguably less useful for the intended market) M.2 SSD slot in both version. It probably makes more financial sense for them to include the M.2 slot only in the more expensive Pentium model.
Just get the Asus E410 with win 11. I got it from buy for $150. Added nvme drive and loaded win 11 on it, unbelievably fast . Yes it can handle 10 tabs and I was watching prime without any issues.
14.6 inch vs 11 inch ( e210 )

If I'm not wrong the 14" model you are talking has Intel Celeron N3350 which is from 2016 vs. this Intel Celeron N4020 (released in 2020) which is a better performer. If screen size is not a concern.
The fact that you can now turn this into a chromebook through Chrome Flex OS install, makes this very enticing

Nope, same 4020 , just the screen size is different.
It seems like it does show a card slot on the left hand side; do you know what kind it is?
EDIT: I checked the ASUS page, and found "Micro SD card reader (on selected model)"
I want to believe! There are multiple answered questions on the product page on the Best Buy website reporting that there is no SD slot as reported... I wonder if it is worth the hassle to find out? This would be a bit more viable for my purposes not sure if this price point warrants any m2 drive in terms of value...

Lon.TV did a review [youtube.com] and mini teardown [youtube.com] of the equivalent Asus L210MA laptop.

Seems like a decent beater pc
I think I had the 1215T or something.
This fits the bill as replacement pi for my needs.

Should be fine for light use with few tabs open.
$108 in excellent condition like new. They only allow 15 day returns. It will include everything.
