It's 250 bucks, what do you expect. But seriously, 8gb of ram probably not enough these days. Some decent used deals on eBay for about the same price with 16gb

Here is a 13th gen intel, with an IPS display. Still not enough ram

The thumbs down on your post are from people who know NOTHING about computers. This was a bad deal at $300 in 2020.

This is bad product.

I expect a new bargain computer, instead of the ones that were bad for $300 five years ago.

I also expect an IPS display.

I'm not sure what's better about new than refurbished--new has problems just as often. I can't find new for $250 in five minutes today. But this refurb for $224 is MUCH better: https://slickdeals.net/f/19090450-refurb-hp-elitebook-845-g8-laptop-14-fhd-ryzen-5-pro-5650u-16gb-ram-256gb-ssd-224-free-shipping?src=SiteSearch

But if your budget is to $250 and you want something to last 3+ years, my refurb is better.

UPDATE: https://slickdeals.net/f/19046161-232-49-acer-aspire-3-14-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-7520u-8gb-ram-512gb-ssd-certified-refurbished?v=1&src=SiteSearch
That's about as slow, but probably has a better battery and DEFINITELY has a better screen.
