      It’s $300 with a FHD screen. It’s a a great deal if you don’t need anything more than a celeron, which would be most people who don’t game, render, playback ultra high bit rate .265 files ect

        Funnily enough the FHD screen makes it worse in a sense.

        4GB + Celeron processor is struggling enough as it is with a 1366*768 display. Chuck in a better display and you'll get worse performance.

        Also, have you tried to work on a Celeron before? I can't even have Word and Excel open with a few Chrome tabs without it going through bouts of being unresponsive. Some webpages will take ages to load, or just won't at all. Downloading even a PDF takes forever (not exactly a large file either).

          Apollo lake celeron ?

          don't say all celeron are same

        • pennypincher98 on 04/05/2018 - 14:32

          @phunkydude: I know Celerons are different but yes, Apollo Lake. It was also a quad core like this.

          agree, I had a celeron 4gb, 500GB and it was painful, I only did word docs and browsing
          it got so bad that i actually sold my laptop and bought another

          bought an ultra cheap SSD i5, and it works so brillantly, well worth the lack of stress

          I just find it astonishing that laptops even to this day cant open word or internet browser without hanging

          @hellohello123:

          Can't open word or internet browsing with a quad core Celeron that is more powerful than a Core2Quad? Were you not running word processing and 1080p video files in 2006? Is this something you guys only started to do now and if Word doesn't open in less than 4 seconds you find it unuseable?

          You guys have serious expectation issues with something that costs $300, when it will perform word processing and general web use, including Netflix/Youtube 1080p playback fine. It also has a screen that will be the best in class for $300 for watching Youtube/Netflix and not be a Chinese tablet.

          My parents still use 2 core C2D machines in their business for all their word processing, spread sheeting, emails, internet browsing and accounting and a laptop like this would be more than what they need.

          If you're spending more than you need and don't have a problem with it, why are you even on this site recommending significantly more powerful CPUs to people who only need the most basic machine?

          I am unable to find any comments suggesting the unit is over priced?
          Whilst we are talking $$$$, I bought a brand New 14" Asus Zenbook, FHD, i5 4200U, 4GB Ram & 1TB HDD for $427 a couple of years back.

          Possibly like ordering the cheapest bottle of win on the menu, yes you can drink it, but do you want to?

          if Word doesn't open in less than 4 seconds you find it unusable?

          Technology has improved, those that have used may find slower tech to be tedious.
          By chance do your parents still use floppy disks for data storage?
          USB drives are available, but if floppy disks still work than why the need to change??

          @c0balt:

          I don't consider opening a simple word doc or browsing to be high end.

          It's like buying a car and the car can't get up to 100km/h
          Im not expecting to buy a brand new cheap car and trying to drive 250km

          Often I would have 1x word doc. 1 x browser. And I'd be on a simple site and it would hang where I can't even type ad address in

          I don't think my expectations are too high

        • c0balt on 07/05/2018 - 10:38

          @hellohello123:

          The Celeron N3450 is a more powerful chip than the Intel M3 chips they put into the Surface laptops, and it's not far off the dual core i5's they put into the Surface laptops either.

          If that's the experience you had with a quad core N3450 then there was something wrong with your system config. We are talking about a chip that is a quad core 1ghz with 2mb l2 cache, it's capable of doing all those things you wrote and more without a hitch.

          Often I would have multiple tabs open, word processing, PDFs open, and watching a 720p video (screen was only 1280x800 in the Acer Travelmate I had at the time) and it performed fine for those tasks for me.

          Not going to find a better laptop for $300 if you want a 15.6" FHD screen, and just need it for basic tasks. To say 'Celeron = no deal' and the gang of parrots to upvote themselves is just bad advice and not helpful for the community.

        • c0balt on 10/05/2018 - 14:24

          @Cheap Charlie:

          Was that floppy drive quip supposed to be funny? Strange joke because floppy drives were obsolete many generations of CPUs before the C2D. No they use external hard drives via USB2 to backup everything.

          When you are dealing with Word documents, PDF files and accounting backups - they don't need anything more than a 500GB HDD to backup everything critical to their business. One off and one on site.

          They are doing very well for themselves, because they don't buy stuff they don't need just because other people tell them because they know they don't need more than their machines. They don't play games, they don't edit videos, they don't even watch Netflix, ect. So even this Celeron would be overkill.

          So for people like yourself, to sling insults like they must still be using floppy disks, when you don't realise that the people you are suggesting spend more than they should on machines that won't help them make more money, work faster, work more efficient or do anything they couldn't before - is against the very spirit that drives people to this site.

          If your only goal is to get drunk and are fine with drinking cheap wine, then you are a fool for buying expensive wine over cheap wine.

          So its a NO on floppy disks but a yes on pagers, dial up internet, DDR1 and windows 98.

        Just wondering what the wifi strength is like on this model? Would be nice if it included bluetooth too :-)

  • AlienC on 04/05/2018 - 19:42

    Bought something similar though was a tablet and had less storage but I think faster cpu.

    https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Venue-Pro-7130-7139/dp/B00NGRUST…

    Was only really good for the basics YouTube, checking steam, checking battle.net, checking unreal, email, some emulator mobile games.

    It is now just a dedicated starcraft 1 and warcraft 3 machine. Will probably get age of empires 2 on it and some other retro games when I get some more time to experiment with it.

    Fortnite ran but at sub 15 fps on lowest settings.. basically unplayable.

    Didn't try anything else because I thought it might have exploded but anything from before 2004 should run perfectly except maybe world of warcraft.
