The small, lower resolution screen and minimal CPU horsepower were understandable compromises to reach the target price point. However, the model was most let down by the RAM configuration options. The 4GB and 8GB RAM configurations arrived exactly when changes/updates to Windows 10 were making 8GB the new minimum configuration (generally recommending devices with greater RAM since more than 50% of system memory could be consumed at boot in an 8GB platform). Lacking an upgrade path, and given the state of Windows RAM utilization, these laptops were generally e-waste at launch.
They'll run basic office applications and/or very light browsing, and they are supported for Windows 11, but these are generally going to be a poor to frustrating Windows experience.
Good luck!
