Yes, it's not the quickest thing, however it can be very fast with some small tweaks.
1) Opted out of S mode - pretty painless.
2) debloated - just manually uninstalled the preinstalled apps. Im sure there's a quicker way to do it with a script.
3) quick adjustments to turning off privacy, notifications, things that send data to Microsoft.
4) 4GB of memory is soldered and added a 8GB DDR stick on the open RAM Slot. System recognizes 12GB now.
5) Open m2 SSD slot - Popped in a old 250 GB Samsung 970 Plus. Boots perfectly and much faster plus have the built in 128GB eMMC for storage. The SSD operates at 3500Mbps where as the eMMC storage is at around 300Mbps.
6) There is also a SD card slot for more storage.
Includes 1 year of office 365 which is solid value if you were already paying $70 a year for it.
The only con I find is the screen. It is VERY lackluster and leaves alot to be desired. It is usable, but thinking of plugging in a monitor if I was going to do any lengthy work on it.
USB C only does data, no charging or display port, however I knew that going in.
It is light and plasticky in a good way and the blue makes it seem more expensive than it is.
Step 1. Type "UEFI" in the start menu.
Step 2. Click "Change Advanced Startup Option
Step 3. Click "Restart Now" in the Advanced Startup" section
Step 4. After the computer reboots it will come up to a blue screen with "Continue", "Turn off your PC", "Use a device" and "Troubleshoot". Go ahead and click "Troubleshoot"
Step 5. Click "Advanced Options" and click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and click "Restart"
Step 6. This will open the BIOS screen. Go to the "Boot" menu and make sure that option "eMMC" is on the bottom and your SSD is above it.

1. The back cover is hard to pry open and I broke a couple of tabs along the back edge. So be careful!
2. The 4 screws along the front edge are shorter
3. Display is fine when looking straight at it, indoors.
4. Build quality seems to be better than the $200 Motile 141 I got from Walmart a few years ago.
Will be doing 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD upgrade, and possible a fresh W11 install soon.

The Lenovo I got at Costco will be going back. The cost for upgrading ram and SSD on the Lenovo came close enough to the Dell.

Chromebooks make perfect client devices. Not sure why everybody buying a Chromebook is a pseudo power user, running VM's and Docker, who the F does that? Not many, maybe slightly more than people who modify cars (2-4% of the market).
Azure and Google are all offering credit to use their VPS's often for three to six months depending on usage.
How often do you use Linux and why?
You can also buy a cheap thin client with 8GB upgrade to 16GB with a older i7 mobile processor. Run all your stuff on that and remote into it. That together would be cheaper than buying a more expensive Chromebook still with a Celeron/Atom based CPU but has 8GB of Ram.
Among other things you can run quite a bit on an older i7.
HD upgraded is a lot more involved, physical install easy, cloning is a bit more difficult if you never did it before. You can download free trial of Macrium:

You really should have someone experienced for assistance or look for a vid how to clone on utube. Not really that difficult but If you make a mistake, you can brick the drive (have to reinstall windows)
