If you are in need of a cheap laptop, then I would still consider buying this, but perhaps don't use it in tablet mode or abuse the hinge.

Cons
1. Heavy – Especially compared to my dell Inspiron 13 5310 (I know that's a slightly smaller laptop but still the weight difference is massive)
2. Only 1 thunderbolt 4 port
3. Touchscreen not the greatest imo. I was trying to read a manga by swiping using the touchscreen and so many missed swipes. Unusable for swiping to read manga like an iPad (let me know if there is a fix for this)
Overall, very few laptops at this price point come with thunderbolt, which I need to connect to my monitors. So even though I am dis-appointed with the touchscreen, I plan to keep it.
Would love to see this as well if anyone is able to share. Here's what I found in crucial.com - https://www.crucial.com/compatibl...402

Notebookcheck doesn't have samples for the 1220p but they suggest it should be close to a 1240U.

If they lower to $239 at my MC I'll go get one to play around with.
