I see $179.99, and it's cheaper than Chromebook! OS is "Windows 11 Home S Mode". Can you install Linux on the machine? On 2022-06-15 14:46, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:

This one is on sale from Lenovo for $180. New; free shipping. <https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-100/ideapad-1-(11%E2%80%9D,-amd)/82gv004kus>
I'm in some kind of club with Lenovo that gets me this for $175. Lenovo PRO? EPP? I don't know.
Going through Rakuten.ca will currently save you another 3%. Sometimes it is 12%.
The display 11" is only 1366 x 768 pixels. Too low res for me.
4G of RAM -- OK.
64G of eMMC -- OK for Windows or Linux, but pretty tight for dual boot.
AMD 3020e Processor (1.20 GHz, up to 2.60 GHz Max Boost, 2 Cores, 2 Threads, 4 MB cache)
HDMI 1.4, 2 x USB 3.2 (Gen1)
This is probably more cost-effective than a Raspberry Pi 4 if the display and keyboard are useful. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
