I have an old Windows 10 laptop with only 4GB of ram. If I open more than 2 Chrome tabs + Zoom, Zoom starts complaining about lack of resources. Windows 11 would likely be worse.
The problem is that most people just look at a few specs: CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD etc. and try to do an apple-to-apple comparison when there are many more factors that affect the price, such as case design / material, ports, display type, webcam, keyboard etc. So, once you factor in everything, I'm sure the regular price is fair market value, which means this is a legitimate deal.

The idea of complaining about a laptop that costs $230 with Windows 11 is outrageous. Do you know how much goes into making one laptop? Do you know how many parts there are? I don't even understand the point in selling laptops in this price range. What are they making on each one $10? Honestly, it seems way too risky and easy to lose money when you are literally making $50 or less per unit on something as complex and expensive to make as a laptop.
I mean, just think about shipping costs alone, forget about all the other overhead that goes into running a company. If you just overnight a laptop, the shipping costs alone can be $150. I'm not saying they are paying that, but the point is, think about how much you spend on so many things and how long they last compared to a laptop priced at $230 that could last you 5 years or more.

Ultimately, we are not here to worry about the big corporations' profits but about our own pockets. This here is a Third World device. No one in the US should be so shortsighted as to be buying this. Even if you are on a very tight budget.
