Found this 50% off at Walmart today. Bought it. Out the door $199 + tax.

I see it's been posted many times in the past, but as "available", not lately. And no need to rehash the TN screen business. I get it. Its okay. And for $199, if you web surf, check email, use productivity apps as I do, I don't think you will mind it. I was getting frustrated having to lay out $500+ for a simple laptop today. It's funny as I ordered an Acer Chromebook from Walmart online the other day just to see how it worked for me. Should come next week. It has 17 inch IPS 1920x1020 screen.($129) Go figure.

I find it rather quick. I am not a gamer, so can't say what will work and what wont.

Brickseek shows OOS for zip 12401 but they had 2 when I asked.

It's still unfortunately a low end IPS panel. 250 nits, 45% NTSC.

So you expect a high end IPS screen in a $200 laptop? OK.

I got this laptop at this price about a year ago and posted it on Slickdeals. I originally bought it for a backup incase one of my kids in college has to get their computer serviced. Then I started to use it and I absolutely love it. It turns on from completely off in less then 30 seconds and it is fast for the programs and spreadsheets I use. The keyboard is not backlit but the screen is always bright enough that it reflects off of the keys and they are pretty easy to see. The fan is super quiet and rarely turns on high and the screen I think is awesome with deep bright colors and clear text. The speakers are really loud and easy to hear and if you wanted you could turn it all the way up to play music in a bedroom. For $199 I am going today to see if I can find another one just incase my kids ever need a loaner.

Where did I say that? This laptop was not originally sold for $200. It's a $450-$500 laptop. Obviously everyone agrees it's a great value at $200 no matter what screen is on it.

I have this laptop. Bought it yesterday. Believe me, it is a TN screen and not IPS, just from the way it looks when you tilt forwards and backwards.

Just so I didn't just give my opinion, I chatted with HP just now and their response was...
"With this model, the screen is always TN and not IPS".

Can you test USB-C for charging and video output? Can you open and tell how many ram dimms inside?

Good for you. Not worth driving around to check though. Most of the time it is the other way around for me. Brickwork says in stock and at the store is OOS.

I don't think I've ever managed to get a deal with brickseek and Walmart in the 5+ years I've tried, despite knowing better. Most of the time it's either oos or regular price or much more expensive. And in the rare case that it claims there's some stock available it's no where to be found...

Sorry. I am not a techie so I can't help you with either of these.

Module Size: 4 GBytes
Memory Type: DDR4 SDRAM
Module Type: SO-DIMM
Memory Speed: 1600.0 MHz (DDR4-3200 / PC4-25600)

Have this. Hinge broke after a few months despite being used with an external laptop most of the time.

Pfft, c'mon now. Walmart employees are more worried about being able to pay bills and purchase household goods than they are interested in picking up a $200 PC. Even a highly discounted deal like this is too expensive for the average retail worker. Their price range is more along the lines of a 2014-era $50 used laptop off of Facebook marketplace.

Former employee here. 100% can confirm this as we already get paid what Walmart wants to pay and raises are few and far in between. I was a cart pusher at a grocery Walmart and the senior people already hoarded all of the good stuff by the time my shift ended and I was able to buy the stuff smh
