Solid CPU for ChromeOS. Most disappointing part of the configuration is the non-touch, TN screen. Admittedly that's something to expect for new at retail in this price point, but disappointing nonetheless as ChromeOS Android app support is best paired with a touchscreen.

Otherwise this configuration is a fine education device option.

Might be easier for the Op to bullet list the key specs rather than the current dump from Lenovo:
  • Intel N4500 CPU
  • 4GB RAM
  • 64 GB eMMC
  • 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080), TN, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 220 nits
  • AUE date of June 2031
Good luck!
Jon

I'm guilty of the same. Just in case you're not familiar with the feature, have you considered turning on Memory Saver (it's currently off by default)?

At this bargain basement price, you have to expect all the features to be below average, for light-duty use only. You can get something much nicer for $200 to $300, but that is double the price.

the screen on this one is really washed out, it's not enjoyable at all to use just FYI

Primarily CPU and display form-factor (size):
  • Intel x86 Atom-based Celeron N4500 CPU vs. ARM-based MediaTek Kompanio 520
  • 14" vs 15.6" display (both being bargain-basement, non-touch, TN displays)
Good luck!

To add onto this, I believe the ARM Mediatek CPU is a fair bit faster.
On ChromeOS, x86 will give you better compatibility with Linux applications. But ARM is more compatible with Android.

I bought a like new version of this with 8GB DDR it works great and the CPU seems to work just fine. It is a bit heavy and I do not use the touch screen so that is not a problem for me. Sure it would be for my grandkids. They love touch.

I only paid $95 for it so if you watch you can get 8GB DDR for a reasonable price.

It came with original packaging except the ties for the power cord had elastic band.
