WTF?? LOOK AT THE RAM

[Jeremy12500]

Look at this ... Is it even worth it I mean 

[flibberdipper]

Considering the fact that it has a dual-core Athlon 3050U, not really. I'd much rather have my IdeaPad that has a 1315U but only 8GB of non-upgradable RAM that I got for somewhere in the mid $300's.

 

What I lose to never having enough RAM I gain by having a very competent CPU.

Yeah but 20gb or ram LMAO and type C

Probably has 4GB soldered and they added 16GB, or the other way around. Back in the mid-00s, 3GB was not an uncommon RAM amount: 2+1GB, then it was 5GB, 4+1.

...they still make dual-core CPUs? And put them in $400 laptops? 

Can find ya a dual core machine for... $20

But the CPU is really slow.

You can have better performing Core 2 Quad systems for less than $100

What's so strange about that? It's a laptop. 4 gig on the motherboard and a 16 gig stick in the slot.

^^^

Actually those would be next to worthless or around the same price as a used 2nd/3rd gen i3 which looking around in fb marketplace tend to go for like 30$ now and this is in indo, the i5s tend to go for 40-50$

 

Though you cant really compare a desktop to a laptop aside from pure performance so to give a fairer comparison you can get used x240-270 for 100-150$ ish and ddr3 is dirt cheap anyways so you can put in 2 8gb sticks for 15-20$, this will still outperform the athlon since these chips atleast have ht and hey its abit below half the price

 

for something abit closer to the 300-400$ range look for used ryzen 3/5 4000 series laptops, should have much better battery life/perf and be alot better in general than those old thinkpads not to mention the doubling/tripling of cores depending on if you go ryzen 3/5, just puts that athlon to complete shame

Heck, even a good condition Core 2 Quad laptop with discrete graphics is still under the $200 mark

Oh you know it buddy. At least this one is allegedly Zen 1, not that those cores would be very pleasant in a shitty clocked dual core anyways.
