Seems like a good deal even though the ram can't be upgraded. Am I missing something?

Dim and bad screen. CPU is fine, but the display is core part of experience...fine for work but not something I'd use for personal usage. 60hz, poor accuracy and dim. Trifecta.

it's a great deal. at this price you're going to make some sacrifices. But for office work and school, this will be a strong work horse for many years.

It's refurbished.

I have this laptop, bought it new for $500. I'm not a fan of refurbished electronics but if it's something you don't mind I'd say this is a great price for a budget laptop.

Main reason I bought it is because it's hard to find a laptop in this price range that charges via USB-C. I prefer not to have to lug around a wall wart charger in addition to my usual travel charger and cables.

I saw someone suggest the screen is dim, I would disagree, it seems fine to me once you turn off the Windows display setting that dims the screen automatically based on how much light the camera registers.

100% happy with my purchase at $500. Jump if you like refurbs...

I wouldn't say cpu is just fine I would say it is good bc that is the best part of the laptop by far.Basically the lowest power x86 chip on the market and a solid igpu comparable to most gaming handhelds

For $350 its a steal, but youre not wrong with the flaw, as I bought this a month ago. The screen definitely is the weakest part, but its the same screen youll get on nearly every laptop under $600 with a few exclusions.
However, youre getting 16GB of fast LPDDR5, 1TB, basically the most efficient CPU for x86 windows/Linux and a GPU that can handle 1080p low-medium gaming without upscaling and do even more with XeSS 3 upscaling.
If you were to price out just the SSD and RAM (soldered, using SODIMM prices) it would already be $300 on their own right now. As for being a refurb, I bought this last month and there is like a 2CM scratch on the side, otherwise its like-new and without issue.
Personally I would recommend this to anyone that can deal with the screen quality in this price segment, if you cant, youll be waiting a few months for a better deal or paying like $200 more solely for a better screen.

Its decent screen B grade for 300s. Beautiful screen when you saturation to 65-75% and 75% sharpness. Stock 50% saturation is on dull.

Plus acer outlet has A grade 1800p OLED for 300s with older cpu
Did you adjust the display setting? It like a saying a $400 TV is bad, based on stock setting

Ram is solder on chip, ultra fast and efficient. Mean it feels like 20-24gb due to ram compression and speed. Opening up 50 chrome web tabs is easy on this laptop
