Bro. What does p0rn have to do with reading? Unless you read p0rn.

anyways, TD this deal because of the screen alone. That is $120-175 chrome book level brightness. I had one and hated it so much that I returned it.

Sign-up page has a broken captcha image, so I can't guess what the captcha is. Tried on 2 browsers so no code for me.

Seems like a great value, I need the backlit keyboard for my own personal use but everything else is pretty well rounded out. Solid buy in my opinion.
Welp sorry but there is no back-lit keyboard on this laptop. Everything else is very solid, except no USB-C.

It's dirt cheap, no doubt about that but
  • No USB-C
  • All USB ports are just USB3 gen 1, i.e. the slowest oldest 5Gbps version
  • HDMI is just 1.4b (Maximum resolution supported over HDMI port is 1920x1200 @60 Hz)
  • No DisplayPort
  • Just 250 nits of brightness - good luck using it on a shiny sunny day
It's still a great laptop only extremely cut down.

For sure. It's dirt cheap. Feels that way. But in terms of the performance, I'll take it. I'm only using it for just random work stuff so I don't have to be glued to my desktop. But agree, all of these are definitely cons.

No, not soldered. Confirmed when I installed another RAM.

Please let us know your thoughts when you get your hands on it!
Review in short:

1. Feels cheap (plastic all around)
2. Keyboard is okay... the base is flimsy but types perfectly fine for me (no backlit)
3. Screen looks good to me. I didn't expect much but no issues with the contrast or sharpness or color for me. I'm only doing basic web browsing, occasional streaming, and just random work stuff so I really don't need that much from the display. Will add that the 120 hz is nice. It's definitely fast for a laptop and definitely helps with performance.
4. It's fast, especially after I upgraded to 16 gb. If it slows down, I'll just upgrade to 24 gb then 32 gb but this will probably be years down. The CPU is nice and good. Refreshed I guess but it's great. I have to get used to Windows 11 but it runs this with no issues.
5. Sound initially was meh (I don't care much about it) but when I started watching some Netflix, it wasn't half bad.
6. Wifi is fine for me. It isn't slow or anything. Again, not doing hardcore streaming or downloading or anything.
7. Haven't tested it with games yet but probably not gonna be playing anything crazy on this.. I have my desktop for that.
8. Doesn't really get hot... fan runs a little bit then it dies down after a few minutes.. pretty normal and doesn't seem to run >50% for me. This will be dependent on what you do but this is why I'm a big AMD fan... less energy = less heat so theoretically, this laptop should work well.

All in all, pretty great budget laptop. Again, was trying to aim for sub-$400 with best value. To me, that was the CPU, m.2 512gb, and size (15.6"). Easy to upgrade RAM for $33. And relatively light and mobile around the house. Just hoping no issues down the road (given it's dell) but will just deal with that. If I can get a good 5 years use of this for sub-$400, I'm good.

Just got 8gb crucial ram... you can find it on amazon for like $33.. you could go cheaper by a few bucks but not worth it IMO.

Crucial is pretty reputable.​
