Deal Details
Kind of debating if I should post this. Vip Outlet on Walmart currently has a Gateway laptop with i7-1255u 8GB Ram 512GB SSD 14.1" IPS Touchscreen for sale at $236.55. Based on what I have read, there are many good things but also many not so good things about this series of laptops.

Good: For ~$240, you are getting a laptop with a 12th gen i7 with touch screen. There is also an additional m.2 slot for a 2nd ssd.

Bad: 8GB Soldered Ram, Not so good screen, m.2 slots only support SATA (need verification), and well, it is a refurbished Gateway

Personally, I would say it is decent deal as long as you know what you are getting and don't have any unreasonable expectations.

Product Details:
Manufacturer: Gateway
Model: GWTC71427-BK
Screen Size: 14.1"
Touchscreen: YES
Processor: i7-1255U
Speed: 2.8GHz
RAM: 8GB
Solid State Drive: 512GB
Operating System: Windows 11 Home

RAM is soldered on motherboard so you can't upgrade.
It's pity that the CPU is very powerful (to a laptop) but the motherboard design put a limit on it.

I've daily'd the prior Gateway 14inch one, albeit with 16gb ram and the Core-i7 1165g7 for a year a half. Paid $300 for that, bought another for my wife for $250 and maintain to this day it was the best deal in computing since well into 2023. This model cuts the ram, but looks improved on the screen, keyboard and trackpad, which were the biggest downside to mine. Price is really hard to beat and don't get twisted about the ram limit, it'll be fine for most people

Deleted.

Edit: Actually, made a mistake. The CPU is not the same. The Ebay one has a i5 1235u instead of a i7 1255u

Thanks OP. I got this today and must say very impressed, especially for the cost. Came in generic packaging with just charger. Came charged. Everything works and looks great so far.
FYI it looks like it went back in stock as well.
