though some may be wishing for IPS panel as well.
I picked up one. I know speed is relative, especially with the workload you are throwing at it, but this is a good, fast laptop, for the price. I did migrate it out of Windows S mode and ran some debloat scripts.
While at Microcenter I picked up a Inland brand 512GB Sata SSD hard drive. They had them at the Atlanta/Duluth store for $25. It has a free bay for an internal SSD hard drive.
The laptop does not come with a sata cable or screws to mount a hard drive. I ordered this one.

I can confirm that it fits perfectly, is exactly the correct length, and works. It is a bit tedious to connect the ribbon cable to the motherboard.
This isn't a gaming or high end business laptop, but for my use case, it's great. So far, no complaints.

If the kid is 8 to 12 and they have the precocious bug (not all kids, but let's say 1 in 4 kids) where their precociousity is tied to technology and electronics (not books, not sports, not the dozen other things for I feel all 8 to 12 have a passion tied to 1 or more things). If you had that kid at 8 to 12, they will either love it more or get frustrated by its limits.
As I said in the Walmart $129 laptop thread, that cpu/ram/emmc is the threshold of good enough. It does so many things well but does not do everything well, thus it is the perfect zone of sometimes you are happy and if you push it you will be frustrated. Hehe aka the zone where the cheap tinkerer start to love and adore a thing but also the same place where others may get frustrated. (The word toy I used earlier is a term of endearment for me, I am that tinkerer.)
My 65 year old dad would love that $129 dollar machine. (I am putting this in a different way)
The i3 is a totally different architecture, Intel's main performance-oriented architecture tweaked for laptop use. The i3 stomps the Pentium.
The argument that the Pentium will give better battery life is dubious. In reality, it just allows the manufacturer to get away with using an even smaller and cheaper battery in the build.

If I get this thing, I'm putting a 32 GB stick in.
