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.

I have never personally had great results with "cheap laptops"....but others have. And all this for $200, not bad at all. My guess is Microcenter is not making much (if any) on this at all. Just looking for a way to get you into the store, sell you some RAM upgrade, etc.
For $200, I'm Chromebook all the way. But if you need a Windows machine on the cheap, probably as good a choice as any I've seen recently.

A lot of things come into play when dealing with a stable wifi network. The Ubiquiti mesh network I have running now at the house is SO SO much better than the one I had running at a previous house 10 years ago.
It makes perfect sense to my why manufacturers would get rid of that ethernet port.
That Ice Lake 48 EU is playable in low and medium quality [notebookcheck.net], around 60 and 40 fps (ranked #420 on the chart at the bottom). Note that "Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake 64 EU)" (#343 in chart, found in i#-10##G7 10th gen CPUs) gets noticeably better fps but still marginal at high quality (33.6 fps). Many 11th gen "G7" Intel CPUs and 12th gen i5-12## have 80 EU which should be able to push 40 fps in high, but they are in the $300+ range. Recent AMD CPUs with Radeon/Vega 6/7/8 should be comparable if not better, a Ryzen 7 4700U Vega 7 was able to push 43fps high and 36fps ultra (#397 on the chart).
Also for some of these machines, even when the HDMI output said 1.4 in the specs, it used to work wth HDMI 2.0 or 4k@60hz. Anyone know if this is case with this laptop?
ALso, how accurate is microcenter stock? It's been saying "more than 25 available," but I don't want to drive 1 hour and then find out they tapped out after they promised ot have reseved me one.
same question. I am leaning towards Target. No MC near by makes it easy.
