Agreed on good features, but Beware of cpu naming conventions nowadays!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comm...ps_naming/

not a great processor. It is good enough imo but effectively 2 generations old.

Just got mine.

1. Can confirm it has a touchscreen.
2. Laptop was in a nice zippered soft carry sleeve
3. Laptop looks & feels brand new. No signs of use at all. I went over every part of it, and the only thing I could find was a tiny hairline scratch next one of the feet.
4. Very fast, especially compared to my old 6-gen i5 Thinkpad.
5. Has some bloatware, need to uninstall.

Overall, great value for the money. Very satisfied.

This has alot of great features: USB C charging, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, a very solid processor, and a touchscreen. Great deal for the price!

Best for under $300. The integrated gpu should be able to handle Minecraft and Roblox.

No! This is a different laptop, it doesn't have RDNA graphics. It's iGPU is a Radeon 610M. I wish it had RDNA, i'd order two.

Thanks, OP. Was looking for a basic laptop for the kids and after many orders and cancelling orders for the last couple days or so, I found this. Don't want to pay more than $300 for just a basic school/homework laptop.
Just get a Chromebook then. Not necessary to spend $300 for text editing.

From the video:
This is the first budget laptop powered by the Ryzen 3 7320U but we will see these Mendocino APUS in handhelds and more laptops

What about the Intel version that's $10 more but with less memory and storage (which presumably can be upgraded)?

I'm leaning towards grabbing a couple so the kids can play Minecraft, my wife can do some light work on one, and we can use one or both when traveling. Then we can get rid of our old antiquated laptops Smilie

The Dell has a better iGPU and is New. The Acer is a refurbed laptop with 2 years warranty.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Rad...598.0.html

Taken from that thread:
RAM is expandable to 16 GB (so you need to add another 8GB ram)
WVA display panel (as per experts WVA is sub-par to IPS) but Touch Screen
No Wifi-6 / BT 5.xx
No full support USB type-C (no charging through USB C)

Yeah, that Dell panel is going to look so bad in person..Is it true soldered ram is bad long term because they can't be changed or repaired?
thanks

Looking for long-term (10+ years) laptop for someone.

If you are looking for long-term laptops, then you may want to consider a Framework laptop.

At this price point, these laptops probably won't last that long (10+ years) although this deal does come with 2 year warranty.

After reading the specs on the site and on here does anyone know if this is touchscreen or not?
