FYI This particular laptop cannot be upgraded. Both the memory and SSD are soldered onto the board.

You can use PD usb-c charging up to 65w.

8 GB is so painful. Can this one be upgraded after purchase?

Thanks for the post.

What uses can these "low powered" laptops be used for?
These prices come close to some nice lower cost cell phones for special duties?

Thanks !

Would this be a good laptop to install chromeos? We're looking for a "chromebook plus" and this is a FHD 15.6" that seems to be a great candidate for ChromeOS. Thanks!

I assume you mean ChromeOS Flex. I don't know exactly a great idea for a new machine. There are some limitations. I know the Google Play - Android Apps are not available. Google is apparently shifting towards an Android base instead of Linux currently. I don't know if OS Flex will still be available when that happens.

ChromeOS Flex is a commerical product being sold by Google to universities and busineses, but free for personal use

Good CPU, 8GB (non-upgradable) RAM not really enough nowadays and it will get worse with time, slow UFS storage isn't good because it will be used as swap memory due to low RAM, LCD screen is TN but at least it is 1080p (compared to HP who floods the market with 768p TN screen, even on an i7 laptop). I guess customers aren't picky as it gets 4.7 stars review.

Perfect laptop to take to my parents back home. Right now they are using an old android tablet that is slow as molasses.

Just the opposite, 8GB is fine for most basic things these days but the i3-N is a really low level CPU.

Is it more expensive to make a 14" laptop or something because the size is less common? There are so many 15" deals I skip because I want a 14"

It's odd to see a 15.6 with ram that's not upgradeable.

I would rather look for a refurbished on Dell (although I don't know about current pricing) - 8 GB of permanent RAM would make me hesitate.
