Insane deal and just pulled the trigger + 5%cb and a coupon brought it to like $220 w/tax shipped for me. The 3450U is a pretty old processor but should get the job done for most folks. Here is a link to a video card test for this processor:

According to the comments on Walmart, it has a single SODIMM expansion slot but the on-board 8GB of RAM is soldered. I couldn't find out if the SSD is soldered or if there is another m2 slot. Many folks said the screen looks pretty sharp but criticized the plastic body as being pretty flimsy.

I've had this exact laptop for over a year. it's reliable and hasn't had any problems. The ram is soldered and does NOT have an extra sodimm slot. There are two m.2 slots in sata mode, and one is occupied by the 256gb ssd included. Mine had a ssd made by Netac. I replaced it with a WD Blue 500gb sata m.2 ssd. Wifi is also soldered. Only thing upgradeable is the ssd. I'm running Windows 11 Pro perfectly fine on it. Plastic chassis is flimsy but its a sub $300 laptop...proper expectations.

Note: The power button has to be pressed for 3 to 4 seconds to be powered on.

I just confirmed on Gateway's site that this laptop has 8gb soldered memory & the included 256SSD is NOT soldered and can be replaced and it has an additional m.2 slot if you want 2 hard drives.

Seems like a solid deal. I'm surprised there's not more discussion.

Probably because the 8gb single slot soldered is a deal breaker for a lot of people, me included. I agree the price is solid, but I and a lot of others hunting for a laptop won't buy this because of you can never upgrade the memory.

One of the reviews says, "The laptop comes with 8GB soldered ram, and I easily added another 8GB via sodimm slot."

I believe this was on sale $199 a couple weeks ago. You might be able to find more information on the model from that thread

Me too, but mine one didn't even start, so I had to return it.
