Does this laptop have any usb-c ports?
If there is one, can it be used for charging the laptop?

Reviews from 2020, but intel 11th gen was released until 2021?

3x USB-A ports. 0x USB-C.
I also can't seem to find any information on if the memory is upgradable.
Probably fine for word processing and light web surfing but I wouldn't recommend it for much else.

One memory slot available. Max memory is 12 gb. One 4gb (soldered) + up to 8gb in second slot.

The Walmart page implies there's an empty slot that can take 8 GB to max out at 12 GB, which would be the saving grace for this. I don't think a dual-core i3-1115G4 is worth $229 though. Try $129.

RAM Memory
4 GB

Maximum RAM Supported
12 GB

It's probably reviews of an older model of the IdeaPad 3i. You see similar things on Amazon sometimes. Definitely not a good practice for laptops, and just another way in which Walmart's site sucks.

I got the asus one, same specs for $200. Put 32GB DDR 4 3200 for 36 total and replaced the 128GB ssd a WD black sn770 2TB gen 4. Updated BIOS, WD firmware, UHD graphics driver, touch pad, finger print, installed brave browser with Tor etc


When I tested it, the ram was maxed out not running any programs with 4GB, as in loading windows and then checking task manager. You need min 8 gigs. 16 is better.

1080p TN 220nits, 4GB soldered + empty SODIMM slot, empty 2.5" SATA bay, no USB-C port/charging (the 5th pic from Walmart is mis-leading)

I don't think you could possibly find a brand new Core i3/ Ryzen 3 laptop for under $150. For $129, you could only get a Celeron/Pentium machine.

Beware of Lenovo hinge issues. Googling it will return lots of unhappy customers where their hinge breaks in the plastic and requires a $200+ repair that Lenovo doesn't typically cover.

Seems like the refurbished i7 32gb latitude from Dell is a much better deal?

I was considering a Chromebook for my 90 yr old Dad, just for browsing and some word processing maybe a few times a year, but saw this and the $150 off Dell refurbs. Need advise on what to get! At least this is not eMMC and the ram is up-gradable,, bummer no usbC. Will mostly sit on his desk so the hinge issue might not be a big issue unless it is really prone to breaking.
