Low priced notebooks usually compromise on display quality - but not this one. 1100:1 contrast, and near 300cd brightness according to notebookcheck. CPU is slow, but decent especially for the price.

Found an open box near me..

Going to give it a go and see how i like it compared to the acer 2 in 1.

i'll lose 4gb ram and backlit keyboard.. but saving $100 might be worth it.

a half pound lighter is a plus. We'll see. I'm really enjoying the acer though.

I'll let you guys know tomorrow my thoughts.

This laptop is on sale for a 4th time at the same $99 price point.

I'd say it's worth the $100, but do your research carefully. A lot of the specs are wrong, like the USB slots (they're all 2.0 and there's only 1 UBS-C and 1 USB-A). If you want to use hdmi, you have to get a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Read through the previous threads before you buy it.

I bought this last time and returned it. It's VERY slow. If you value your sanity buy something with a faster processor or 8GB RAM.

How fast is this compared with Chromebooks with N4000?
I see this one's CPU Mark is higher by 30%. But not sure is this really faster than N4000.
(single thread rating is lower than N4000, but this one has 8 cores)

I acknowledge that I am not the target audience for this. Don't know what type of person is/use case for. So take with a grain of salt.

I don't get why this is so heavy. I have a 13in laptop w/OLED screen that I use for photo editing while traveling and it is 1/4 in thinner and 1/3 lb lighter. The S8 tablet is 1.5 lb lighter than this laptop. To me, this seems chonky, thicc with two c's, and slow. Sure it is cheap AF, but dropping $100 on this seems like false economy.

My fiscal bias is I would rather spend $500 on something that'll last years (I still have an old Lenovo Yoga 2 I am using for literally couch surfing that is a decade old), than to pay a say 25% the price for something that'll last 10% as long.

Similar decision calculus, I always buy the fastest I7 processor of the current gen if I am upgrading. I did the math a while back (4th Gen Core processor time frame) and the cost to buy the I7 was roughly the samw delta in price 4 years later to sell my I5 and buy the I7. So while I pay for power consumption, I also get more of the speed. Today, my 8th Gen is still able to HDR merge Lightroom faster than I can find another group to HDR merge. And I can do 15 shot panoramas and keep editing my other photos with no apparent speed drop. No doubt the newest is faster, but my old, high spec rig is getting the job done and has been doing so quickly the entire time.

Its just so hard for me to see buying cheap as saving money. The only reason I don't buy a Tab S8 is because I barely use my Fire HD 10 (2019)...but when I do it is dog slow. And sport bitch...my Amazon tablet no longer supports the Amazon shopping app.

TL;DR - this deal seems like its a chance for people to buy garbage for $100 but because its inexpensive theyre saying it is a deal.
