VIP Outlet via eBay has Restored Gateway 11.6" Touchscreen Laptop Celeron N4020 4GB RAM 64GB SSD Webcam Wifi Bluetooth Windows 11 Home Blue for $63.99 after Promo Code VIPEBAY2026SALE. Shipping is free. 154 available at time of posting.
OP Notes:
Pros: reasonably well accessorized for $64, with webcam, 720P touchscreen, MicroSD slot for memory expansion, onboard Wifi and Bluetooth, Intel UHD graphics capability, Windows 11.
Cons: Slow N4020 processor (Dual Core, Q1 2020, CPU Mark score 1,536), only 4GB RAM which will slow Windows 11. Likely not upgradeable to any degree. Just a bargain basement Windows 11 platform for the price of an Android tablet.
Very limited use cases for this one, as it's about as basic as a Windows 11 laptop gets. Some of you may need a Windows 11 machine to handle light home network traffic or other basic tasks like RTU or PLC programming, data logging, or word processing. The 6W processor is very efficient in 24/7 operation for power savings in server or monitoring applications. To be clear, I would not recommend this one for the average home user or video streaming. A bit of a niche product for those who can use it.
Used product that has been inspected, tested, and restored to the original manufacturer's operating specifications. This fully-functioning product is in "Fair/Good" condition with some blemishes and/or scratches.

but as it is there's no advantage versus just getting dirt cheap 15 year old hardware except maybe that it's a 2-in-1
you can get a good condition MacBook Air 11" from 2011 for about $50 these days and the specs are really quite similar unless you care about Windows 11 support and various video codecs (the Air can run up to Windows 8)

I see zero problem with this....if you have a use case for it. And I bet 99% of people buying this will be doing Linux or grand(ma/pa) only checking FB. Something this could handle fantastically.
Personally I could see using this as a
-travel PC when I go to sketchy countries (theft and / or due to overzealous security screenings)
-as a display for my networked cameras
-use it on the range for connecting to remote target cams
In all those cases I would likely switch to Linux though, repurposing the Windows 11 key to a VM on another machine. $63 ain't bad if the laptop is in decent condition.
All that being said, the lack of USB C charging is my dealbreaker.

(LONG EXPIRED)
This SGIN $20 laptop (via Walmart) popped up on Slickdeals in August of 2024. Works, but the 4GB ram is frustrating. Still haven't found a use for the thing.
