This is an excellent chromebook and deal! Happy with the one I bought last time.
Chromebooks and emmc memory have their place. The emmc should not be used for archiving things or regularly have lots of the memory used up, but for typical use it is fine.
It's a chromebook, it's more than enough.

Ram is one of the more robust things in any laptop imo and can last 10-20 years of typical use.
This about squares with my experience. Ran a ThinkPad T420 and had an 8GB module fail after about ten years causing frequent BSODs, fault was confirmed using memtest86.

It would suck to have a laptop bricked by a memory failure, but given that the typical service life of most chromebooks is under ten years it's probably an acceptable risk.

The eMMC is a removable M.2, which could be replaced with a NVMe SSD (but that's a complicated process, previous discussion https://slickdeals.net/f/17286067-lenovo-ideapad-chromebook-refurb-16-2560x1600-120hz-i3-1215u-8gb-ram-120gb-emmc-209-free-shipping?page=4#commentsHeader)

However, there is no extra slot.

Thanks for the link to the last deal, I found it on sale at VIP outlet on eBay via a link in that thread for $183 before tax.

It's basically just enough OS to run a Chrome Browser. Basically if you can do it on the Chrome browser on your PC, you can do it on Chrome OS. Just think of it as a computer than can only run a browser and you're 95% there.

Is it better to purchase from target for the in store return convenience and any other advantage to buy from target over eBay for 9% more?

This is gonna come in at 4lbs, so not the lightest thing out there. Basically what you'd expect for the price, but still.

This or the acer 515, both refurbs are ~$200?
https://slickdeals.net/f/17300587-acer-chromebook-plus-515-cert-refurb-15-6-fhd-ips-i3-1215u-8gb-lpddr5x-128gb-ufs-181-99

In my opinion:
Pros for Lenovo:
- Much better screen
- Better keyboard, if you want the numpad.
Cons for Lenovo:
- Inferior trackpad, based on various reviews

Pros for Acer:
- Better keyboard layout, no numpad, so everything is centered.
- Far better trackpad, based on reviews.
- A bit newer, so AUE is further out. Although I suspect hardware will die out before that.
Cons:
- Not as good a screen as the Lenovo or the Acer 516
- Thick bezels
- HDMI cannot output 4k@60Hz. I do not know if the USB-C ports can output displayport. Could not find this info anywhere

Given that neither is a touchscreen, when browsing, consuming content, the trackpad will be heavily utilized.
Not sure which one to go with.
Any opinions?

For those that want to run a full OS on their Chromebook https://mrchromebox.tech/. I have mine booting Debian 12, but many install Windows.

Suzy Q cable to disable write protect on google CR50 chip.

Imo Priorities should be : utility (accomplish what you need it for) > screen (constantly viewing when using) > keyboard > trackpad (easy to use a mouse)

Sound like lenovo option is better for you

It is a browser first, and android device second. Many mainstream android apps/programs are available on google play and natively have good compatibility with chromebooks like adobe pdf and spotify. Niche programs probably not? Chromebooks get a helluva lot longer support than android devices though and is harder to get viruses.

The price at Target would be only $9 more with a Red Card (or whatever they're calling it now), but the warranty is only 1 year vs. 2 years from eBay. For me, that negates any convenience of the in-store return process.

I picked up the slightly higher end model of this from the same seller with same 9% discount. It has an i5 1235u with Iris Xe Graphics and comes with a 256gb SSD instead of the emmc. Total cost was $50 more than the i3 listed here. Just throwing it out there if anyone would prefer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/15580696...Swx5JlQ8~W [Monetized]

It is possible to replace the 2242 drive. Mrchromebox.tech firmware scripts make it fairly straightforward to remove google cr50 firmware write protection, which will be required.
