Woah, woah, last time I checked, for $500 you could get pretty decent specs. Though, the last time I checked was in 2019 when I was shopping for a 2 in 1 for school. Since then I’ve bought used and haven’t looked back.
Still, I think you’re thinking in the $150 and under range. Anything more than that for a device with 4gb of memory would be straight up robbery.

I don’t understand windows business model for these low end laptops.
They just make windows look bad (not that it’s good).
So many people have “windows slow” imprinted on their brains because they buy a $500 or less computer and expect it to be as good as a 1500 MacBook…
