Well, it's a laptop, at least. Lord help you with the next Windows Upgrade, with only 32GB though. It has always been a bit of a chore to shoehorn the version upgrade to Win10 on these 32GB eMMC laptops.

Could maybe put Linux on. I'm not sure why, but I bought a couple.

Edit: This is a review, I think of this same model. Includes a teardown.

LTT did a look-see on a couple of under-$150 Walmart laptops. They are not THIS model, but similar.

Well, the box looked slick.

Unlike the "ematic" laptops that Walmart used to sell, these DO have a PrtScrn key (as an FN alt to one of the F-keys, F12 I think). That key was literally completely missing off of the ematic laptop's keyboard (!)

It's a cute little 11.6" laptop, not too slow, but I'm still feeling it out for performance, because it gets bogged down with everything updating at once when you first get a laptop.

Comes with Windows 10 1909 64-bit Home S Mode, and unlike the product description, it came with a J3355 CPU/SoC, rather than the N3350 that it was advertised. That means that it has the desktop variant, rather than the mobile variant. (Faster?)

Edit: Sigh. These units MAY be alright for web-browsing, MAYBE Skype and web browsing (the AMD Ryzen 3020e APUs ARE GREAT for that), but you wouldn't know it from the Windows Upgrade performance.

I did the updates to Win10 1909 Home S Mode to bring it up-to-date, as far as Windows Update would allow, that went OK, a little slow, but nothing horrific. Then I exited "S Mode".

Then I rebooted a few times, then I plugged in a Team Group 8GB USB2.0 flash drive into the right-hand USB port, with Win10 20H2 installer on it. Opened that drive, clicked "Setup.exe", went through the prompts, and it asked me to insert more storage. So I plugged in an Adata UV260 64GB USB2.0 flash drive into the left-hand USB port, and got the installer going.

It did it's thing, copying the files, the it restarted, and I wasn't watching it, but now it's at a blue screen (not BSOD), saying "1%". It's been at 1% for like 2-3 hours.

Edit: It booted into Win10 again, nope, still ver. 1909. Oh well.

Next try, downloading the Upgrade Advisor for Win10 from Microsoft's download page, and running that. Says that I need to clear off 8GB of space off of C:, AND plug in an 11GB or larger storage device.

After some cleaning later, and un-installing Office (sorry!), it was ready to go.

Even 128GB is questionable for Windows 10 and it's updates. A few gigs of user files and you're screwed. With only 32GB these are destined for the trash can in short order IMO.
