sorted by"MicroSD slot allowing the built-in storage to be expanded by up to 128GB."
I bought a similarly speccd CODA, albeit with a 13.3" display, a few years back and installed a 240GB SSD.
It'll never fly, but it copes fine with W10, Office etc. I've no interest in games so won't/can't comment on anything games related.
Plenty of info on previous threads. Strangely for this site, if you put CODA in the search string, you'll find some helpful information. (edited)
It's not a 64gb SSD its eMMC. (edited)
"It's kind of serviceable if you gut the entire OS" is hardly a feature - voted ice cold since used business notebooks exist.
When you think about it, it's a crazy price for a laptop with windows 10. Sure it really has big limitations but if you're just wanting to get online and do a bit of surfing and reading emails it will be fine.
A better way to test out Linux distros is to either run them in a VM if you have the resources on your PC/Laptop or to install them to a fast USB stick or external USB caddied SSD and boot from them directly using BIOS options. (edited)
edit: now shot up in price, over RRP (edited)
All I can say is nice screen, shame about the rest.
When it worked it was just about ok for basic tasks, though sound was poor & keyboard not great.
But by far the worst thing was it took about 10-15 mins to boot up. It would fail (stalled spinny thing) so i'd restart. Same would happen again and again. Then the recovery mode kicked in and that wouldn't usually work then eventually it would end up with a range of tiled options including reinstall Windows or something. I chose to continue to Windows and it restarted then finally it would boot. It would also crash and I'd have to go through all this palaver again if I left it unattended for too long.
Don't know what the problem was, whether partly down to its supremely underpowered tech in combination with Windows 10, which I have found can really mess some laptops up, usually because of updates.
If I compare to a cheap (also £100 new) Lenovo I bought years earlier with only 2GB RAM, the Lenovo was much better, although screen much worse.
it would be a waste of 8gb's

Yeah the CPU is a little bit better, but at the end of the day it's perfectly fine for browsing the internet and watching movies/TV shows (which is all I use it for)
For £63 it's a bargain, even if it's something you buy just to use on long journeys or use somewhere where you don't care if you lose or damage it.
I've really nothing bad to say about it other than - why pay more if it does everything it needs to.
I am looking for a cheap 15.6in laptop max £60. Also, I don't mind 2nd hand. Do you have any suggestions?
