I'm clearly in the minority here but if you're looking for a laptop and have a budget of around $350, this is a good deal. Obviously 8GB ram and 128GB storage isn't meant for professionals, but for high school or even college students it would suffice.
Obviously if you increase your budget a bit you can get a much better machine, but $350 could already be a strain on a lot of people. If you compare this to other options at $350 or less, it's a solid deal. You're not going to find a $350 Windows laptop that outperforms this.
It's supposedly in like-new condition, has a 1-year warranty, and the seller has 97.6% positive feedback.
All that being said, I don't know where tf this $1,500 number is coming from. This was a $999 laptop when released, and it was frequently sold new for $800 or less.

I have this exact Mac Air with the 256gb ssd. I would much rather have this PC than my Mac:
My two cents. You can find this used 256gb 16gb of ram in marketplace for 400. I would spend the extra for 16gb of ram due to them having a minimum of 16gb in their lineup.
Can you get away with 8gb for light loads absolutely, but I'd rather hunt for that extra 8gb and storage space.

This isn't a good deal.
128gb unusable even with just browsing
not many use cases for this config anymore besides streaming

So these are laptops used by US school children. What condition do you think they'll be in? 🤣
