This actually has 128GB SSD (vs 256GB in OP's description?!)

250 nits non-touch display
No backlit keyboard, no USB-C charging.
At $250, decent deal for general daily tasks given RAM upgradability.

Looks like a pretty good deal. Can you go to 32GB RAM?

I am looking at the product box and it indicates 8GB "On Board". According to Crucial memory configurator, this is only upgradable to 24GB.

At least better than 4GB on-board + 4GB SO-DIMM. Most users of this laptop would just need 16GB indeed.

i'm guessing it's a TN panel.. I'm hoping it's an IPS.

if it's TN.. it's tresh.. tn should be illegal. if it's IPS..i might get one. i need a cheap non-chromebook laptop.

edit; google says it's IPS

Yes, but YMMV on Switch/3DS depending on game. There is a handhelp with this chip: Ayaneo Air, so there are many benchmarks on YT.

Trash TN panel and too low storage. Just waste of money.

Only HDMI 1.4. Not enough for media player use case.

Comparing this to this https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-15-...om=/search
which would you go with?
I'm just using the laptop for travel at hotel stay, not day to day use.

I haven't seen good deals in entry level category lately. You might consider spending little more:
https://slickdeals.net/f/17414622-acer-aspire-3-15-6-touchscreen-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-7520u-fhd-1920-x-1080-windows-11-349-99
You will get 90 days return period and free second year warranty with Costco. Some ppl buying it for $260 from official Acer Refurbished Ebay store, but I would recommend getting new from Costco.
