Pretty good deal on a laptop great for general productivity and web browsing, even a bit of very light gaming and photo editing which won't put much load on the laptop coz of the discrete GPU. Laptops at this price don't even have a discrete GPU to begin with.

Powerful processor and solid build quality. Screen is really good too, 300-nits 100% sRGB anti-glare, which is hard to get at this price point. Really good port selection. Great battery life. Faster 8GB LPDDR4x, sadly soldered.

Be warned though, this runs warm-hot coz of the MX450.

My wife is looking for a YouTube/Quicken/Google machine under $500. Would this be a good purchase?

I'm fairly sure this one has a 250 nit screen, unless they changed mid-production cycle. It was the prior yr model with an mx350 and 300 nit screen

I have this 2020 version with ryzen 5 4500u. Very nice thin and light with tiny bezels and the colors are very nice with 300 or 350 nits but beware this thing does get hot easily and i dont even game on it. The 8gb ram with 2gb graphics card ram is enough for most people. The 2021 model they updated with USB C power delivery and lowered the brightness to 250 nits. I believe mine is 2.6lb and 2021 model is 2.9lb.

8GB RAM and not upgradable, it's okay now but that's not good.

Not ideal, but the fact that it has dedicated graphics that isn't sharing the RAM helps somewhat. A lot of laptops in this range have even less usable RAM than the 8gb installed because of the split. I'd say 8gb on this laptop will get you by for most tasks a laptop like this would be used for the foreseeable future.

I don't know anything about computers, but if I'm just looking for a good machine for streaming 4k media mostly to TV, this would be a great option?

How does this compare to the gateway refurb at Walmart for $329?
