Cheap Laptop - Is This One a Good Deal?

My sister had something similar to this so I just gave her a micro SD for extra storage,
64GB and 128GB are pretty cheap now. Except this one has a full sized SD slot which means the card might stick-out.
I'd recommend having a look at the Dell Outlet except it seems to be down/having issues displaying stock.
8GB of RAM so it's going to run slow performing any task - even browsing internet may be sluggish at times.
64GB Space will fill up extremely quickly, just Windows 10 uses around 20Gb.
I would shop around but for $300 you can't get much at all..
64GB storage and 4GB is way too small even for the most casual use. I would suggest 8GB RAM and 500GB storage at a minimum. Also at 11.6" screen size this thing is going to be super small which means it will have a cramped keyboard which will be uncomfortable to use for any serious word processing and it will be hard to be very productive on such a small screen.
What will the laptop be used for?
^^Wow i totally misread and thought it was 8Gb which is still tiny these days, Internet browsers smash 4gb easy.
Dunno about anyone else, but i don't like the way the Yoga rests with the keyboard upside down in that domayne link. It looks ripe to be damaged.
Anyway, I just picked up a Dell Latitude 7280 for my son for school on ebay, at the grays online store for $480 with the 20% off PEARTREE sale.
Its second hand, but has a 1 year warranty and the specs shit all over that lenovo. I wasn't expecting much but its IMMACULATE. The battery in it needs replacing however so factor that into your budget.
I would suggest checking out their store.https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/graysonline-australia
They even have some Yogas if you still want one, and pretty sure the 20% off sale is still on until the 11th.
Thanks everyone all ok now. My daughter just came home from her casual job and her boss bought her a laptop :)
depending on what she is going to use it for, the 64GB of storage (which i assume is before the OS is installed on it and all the other crap they preinstall), might be pushing it. She could use cloud storage, but still it would be pushing it
