The i3-N processor is even lower than the i3 -12th generation. And this laptop doesn't even have full HD - only has HD (1366 x 768).

The only possible redeeming quality of this laptop vs. other lower end laptops is that the SPECS allegedly say the RAM can be updated to 16GB - although I would be wary of this being true until someone who has bought this can actually confirm this as it is rare to have a low end laptop like this with RAM that is not Soldered.

Who in their right mind is upvoting this?
The display is trash for the price, being 768p TN display. The processor is mediocre and what not.
You can get better deals with FHD IPS displays at this price.

My only guess is...

this could be for someone who would buy a mini pc with n305 for about this same price and wants the option of a screen, keyboard and track pad. As well as not bring bare bones.

In those scenarios they probably run this laptop with the screen turned off and use it as like a media server or something.

or maybe it's their portable media player when they go on vacation.

Or a kids' first laptop, or it's a cheap low power laptop for when you're on the couch.

Or were all wrong and they use it for streaming nvidia cloud or Xbox cloud games and we just lack the imagination of what people do with this thing.
