Is it that bad of a processor they have to put it in Windows S mode to start? Seems like all the low end windows computer I have bought came in windows S. It's easy to take it out of S mode but it makes a person suspicious when it comes in S mode

Maybe the low RAM and small drive?

soldered ram. no additional RAM slot. meaning you're stuck with 8GB. I'd pass on this one.
There is no reason whatsoever to pass on this laptop if anyone is in thr market for a laptop with these specs. It's Chromebook priced, but more powerful than a Chromebook. This laptop DOES NOT need more than 8gb of ram, because it's not powerful enough to do anything that needs much ram.
Its a great laptop for basic use, and the price is great for what it is as well.
no, which it takes 2 seconds to google, much much less time than it took you to write this troll post.ok following comparison only applies to me, this is a good deal in my price range. Screen is 300 bits which is the key part for me. A few months ago I bought my Galaxy Chromebook with 10th gen i3 (2 cores 4 threads, 8GB) for I believe in the 200's, after trading in a tablet (which I got for $20 in another slickdeal). is this better? the cpu is about the same, just 4 cores 8 threads where mine is 2/4. but, the 45% NTSC mean my QLED display is much better.So, I'm happy with my purchase. worse cpu but better display. the cpu in mine is good enough for me.
It is not how long it takes to get it out of windows S mode. It is why its there in the first place! Capiche?

Some considerations:
1. 8GB RAM is less than ideal ,AND it's soldered (ughh)
2. a Ryzen 5 7520U looks like a big number, but in reality it's an extremely underpowered chip. The 2 in 7520U stands for Zen 2 architecture, which was released back in 2019, 5 years ago.
3. Some reviews mentioned it comes with Windows 11S, which is a restricted version of Windows that can only use select apps from the Windows App Store. I think it's possible to turn off the S mode, but it's another extra step.
Unless it's only used for a few tabs web-browsing/GDocs, the experience is probably going to suck. It's always better to buy used at this price point than brand new

How's the battery life? I'm looking for a laptop to last me 8-10 hours on battery.
