only 8 thread cpu... best to get 12 or more for win11
no touch screen is LED so probably dim narrow read
no keyboard backlit, no ssd bay, so you'd have to
change that 256 for something bigger.
anything with USB type c port ? I see ever post saying they wont buy if its not usb c port why is it so important ?
most people complaining about this have $1000+ laptops themselves and don't even need something like this, USB-c is becoming the universal standard for charging phones/laptops and it is nice only needing one power brick when traveling etc. Ironically the only laptops I ever had charging issues with was my work T480s (broken USB c charging port after 6 months) and my work lattitude 3510 (broken usb C charging port after a year but I use the barrel connector now).
You don't really get to picky with $300 laptops, you should prioritize screen quality, trackpad feel and processor for general use, don't expect much from webcam, ports, build quality etc.

Bought the Acer Aspire 3 (Refurb), that Dr. W posted a few weeks ago, for $261. Same cpu and ram, but it's touchscreen, 512gb ssd and USB-C charging.
While it was a refurb, it looks and feels brand new.
PS: This Processor is the same processor as the Ryzen 3 7320u. Both are based on Zen 2 and the Ryzen 5 only boosts 200mhz higher. Lame AMD.
