Specs are painfully bad.
Would be a great deal at $40, ok deal at $60-$80, $100 or more for this, now that is a joke.

I'm not sure you understand computers work and how certain components operate differently under different circumstances. 129 is a fantastic deal for this kit.

To those that are saying it's not worth the price. Do good chromebooks exist under $100?

In addition, many of the higher res screens generally have...

Very valid point. But improving the screen means a device much more expensive. For 1-2 hours homework per day I think its ok.
