What's bad about this one. Will there be better deals on BF?

8 gig ram might be rough for win11 if using too many tabs or apps.

This one looks like a step down from the Slim 3 with the Ryzen 5 8540U and 1200p touchscreen for $280 from a few weeks ago. but if this one is like that one the SSD and RAM are upgradable with a second slot available for each.

Hard pass.
Only 8GB RAM - Onboard Only/Not Upgradeable. Otherwise would be good to go.

The CPU was also weak at the budget price range three years ago. It's ridiculous that they still sell this and the N4500's.
