For this price a couple of weeks ago you can get a refurbished Surface laptop 3 with 128gb SSD on eBay. I know it's a refurb but in return you have a much better built computer, backlit keyboard, amazing graphics and USB C charging. Everything run smoothly.

Bought one in July and paid $389+ tax and now you can get one at $359+ tax on eBay. My son was staring at it after we got the laptop while we were testing it. We eventually we gave it to him, and he is using it for school. Just bought another one with i5 10th gen, 16gb ram and 256 SDD for the same price.

Quote from Zanthexter :
Throw 32-64GB in it, bump the SSD up to 1-2TB, and you've got a great virtual server host with a built in 8 your battery backup.

The "caliber", of the internals is fine. It's the build quality and that are low end at this price point. But if you're rarely going to touch it or carry it around,, those don't matter.

Cheap laptops like this are perfect home or small business servers. Great choice to host QuickBooks multi user for example.
As per Dell, the max memory for this lappy is 16GB. Any idea how it can be bumped upto 32 or 64GB

Gateways, which is just a Walmart house brand nowadays, are straight up trash.

This Dell is merely mediocre. Far far far better.
Concur that Wal-Mart Gateway is trash. In November 2022, purchased the $300 model in Forest Green with good specs, Core i5 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, little bloat, set it up. Left it in sleep mode on dining room table and when I opened the cover a few days later the 15.6" IPS SCREEN FELL OFF. Packed it up and got full refund at local Wal-Mart. If you are looking for computer components then buy a Gateway as it will self-disassemble.

Gateway components are acceptable but assembly and build are substandard. In November 2022 bought $300 Gateway Core i5, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, laptop in Forest Green. Set it up (no bloatware), left on dining room table in sleep mode. Three days later opened cover and THE 15.6 " SCREEN FELL OFF. Returned to Wal-Mart for full refund. If you want affordable laptop components then purchase a Gateway as it will self - disassemble.

Quote from Nooblit11 :
according to dells own website, the 3511 has 2 slots for ram, so you could upgrade up to 64gb if you really thought it was necessary. lol
It says "16 gb max" on specs sheet I saw though, despite 2 slots. I asked the tech in store about this and he said something about the other specs of the machine somehow limit how much RAM would be usable. Anyone familiar with this further?

For anyone interested, I ordered the crucial 16GB RAM CT16G4SFRA32A, installed in the empty RAM slot, and both Windows and Ubuntu show a total of 24GB on this laptop. I thought I would try one stick of memory before bumping up to 32GB.
