I consider that there is no better value for money out there (01/2024) that justifies its price (initial RRP: €300), with VAT exemption. I bought it for my work and it is excellent. I installed GhostSpectre and the machine is a beast, even with regular Windows it will work just fine. The usage I need it for is office work/ tasks/ MS Office/ ERP and the like, so I am satisfied with the purchase. It has 8GB built-in RAM and can be expanded up to 16GB as it has one free slot for addition. The processor, although it is 2-3 generations behind the current ones (2024), does the job it needs to.
A remarkable machine, at the same prices there are some laptops with processors that are not worth it, like Intel N4020/N5020/N4120/N5030/6xxx and the like (Celeron), far from these CPUs, either i3 or Ryzen 3. Value for money!
Finally, a tip, because it is a noOS/FreeOS, at the beginning of the formatting it will not display the hard drive, there are videos on YouTube that will help you.
Additionally, this specific model is available with a Greek keyboard and pre-installed Windows, the price goes up to around €450, so anyone who has the ability to set it up themselves is worth every euro. Although at €450-500 there will likely be other options. Most likely they will increase the price, so for €300 it is value for money, if it goes above €350-380 there might be other options as I mentioned and it might not be worth it.
