Is this a good deal for casual browsing at home? Good battery life? Any input would be appreciated
I have this exact laptop, and it's fantastic for everyday tasks like browsing the web, standard office tasks, listening to music, watching movies, etc. It can even be used to play some older - and generally lightweight - games.
I get two to three hours of battery life out of mine (probably more if I put a new battery in it?), which isn't terrible - but isn't nearly as good as modern processors.

seems decent. is 256gb enough these days? I assume Windows takes up a good portion of that?
A big chunk of that is because of the hibernation file Hyperfil.sys which can be removed after disabling it (if you are okay with not having hibernation feature) with a command prompt

Looks like this is the same model and deal that's been popping up every one to two weeks. This time a bit more expensive than when posted 2 weeks ago at $238. Generally good comment about it. People report it has a backlit keyboard but is not a touchscreen. Guess I'll be waiting for that low priced unicorn that has both of those.
i have to say people mostly dont need extra 30% performance to just email or watch youtube. in other words speed utility is decreasing, while a dollar is always a dollar
I am new to this whole USBC power delivery thing. So whenever you see the power delivery on a USB-C port, it means that this laptop can be powered by a USB-C power brick or power bank? I noticed this one also says it has an AC adapter port.
