S-mode would be way better if it was actually a decent 'slimmed down, lower resource mode' but still let you do things like, you know, install Firefox, and not not 'fling the computer out the window in frustration' mode.

The person was just pointing out that this is essentially a 2-year-old processor (13th gen are available). But yes, it'd be more than fine for what you're doing.

In my view, the main thing that kills the deal killer here isn't the CPU or RAM, but the display. It is a TN panel -- which means poor viewing angles (quite important on laptops) and washed out colors.

Apologies for two of those youtube channels not being in English (not trying to sound racist I swear ! ) but honestly still thought those videos were helpful just for showing the "guts" of the laptop from the inside ...
The impression I got was that there was a slot you could stick ram into , an m2 drive you could swap out and a drive slot bay for a 2.5 form factor ssd drive ... I know acer laptops often come with the 2.5 hard drive enclosure included to make it easy to pop one right in there...
If this is the case and the laptop can be upgraded you could always just slap say a 16 GB stick of ram and a secondary 2.5 form factor ssd drive in there to put files on and/or install other programs (I'm guessing... hoping?... 256 GB would be enough for a basic win 11 install plus whatever programs you put on there? Could be wrong wiser heads than mine would know
Mind you this is all pure speculation on my part, anyone who has had actual experience with one of these laptops please jump in your feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated
