A search for i3 laptop sorted by newest listing and filtered for under $300 had multiple pages of listings over the last year of comparable dual-core i-series laptops priced between $200-300.
Good luck!

It has a more capable and few months newer 4C/8T AMD Ryzen 3 5300U processor (vs this 2C/4T Core i3 1115G4). with higher multi-core Passmark of 10040 against 6212 of Acer, though the Core i3 1115G4 performs slightly better in single-core tasks (HP 2379 vs Acer 2674).
Both have upgradable 8GB RAM (Acer has 1x4GB soldered + 4GB removable, HP has 2x4GB removable), same 256GB SSD storage and inferior non-IPS FHD display panel.
I understand that HP laptop offers HP Fast Charge, which will take you from zero to 50% charge in just 30-45 minutes
In all aspects, I'd go for the HP for $5 more, unless you will need the RJ-45 LAN port which only Acer has.

$300 is $50 more than this $250. Dual core i3 is good enough for some people who just need to browse or do regular office work.

Being 15", I like it better than the Lenovo linked earlier (from Target) as that one is only 14". I'm wondering if Office Depot is offering this, why Best Buy/Amazon/Walmart don't have something similar. I haven't bought anything from OD in years.

Can anyone comment without laughing at me if this will be ok for the same use scenario as the one this thread is about? 4gb ram is the limiting factor, aside from that is it somewhat comparable?
I have been using even worse, a modded 15.6 acer chromebook with windows 10 on it

The modded chromebook is slow but it uses low power which has been good for my off grid setup, curious if this $150 one will give me a boost in performance without eating too much more power or if I really should spend more.

Yes, it is worth $149, but it doesn't seem to get that many interests as I thought. It was previously on frontpage last week.

The screen has a lot of light bleed and uneven backlight and poor contrast kinda flat.
The mouse pad is way left of where I want it to be, makes it uncomfortable and scrolling not work the angle it forces my hand to be.
The keyboard has a number pad I'd rather not be there and just screws up what I'm used to.
Overall I prefer my old chromebook 15 even though it's way slower. If this had speakers of similar quality to the chromebook 15 I might live with the rest of the flaws.
