Decent enough Chromebook, passive cooling so no moving parts. A good student laptop if your institution supports ChromeOS devices.
Any way to add more internal storage?
While removable… you could probably add a microSD card.

Storage Device
The device is equipped with an eMMC storage device that has a capacity of 64 GB. The storage capacity can be expanded via microSD card.
These units have an eMMC chip soldered on, so not removable/upgradable, although…..

It also has 2 USB C ports, left and right which is great at this pricepoint.
Yep, just tried to post the same deal.
Try and get the HP X2 - 8GB/64GB/M3 one from umart for $499 if the special is on again. Much better value.
Cheers for heads up. Currently that model is $1168, the same model with an Pentium and 4gb ram is on sale for $499 and the model with an i5 and 8gb ram is also on sale now for $899.
I really want that model you showed for $499, with the current bad AU$ rate hapilly pay $549 like the last deal few months ago.
Will keep an eye on it as not in hurry.
It's cheap and should be good if you use it for word processing, but keep in mind it has a rubbish screen. Rubbish speakers. It isn't a touch screen and it doesn't flip into tablet mode.
Passive cooling isn’t really a good thing from my experience.
I now have had four various passively cooled small/light small laptops/netbooks/chromebooks for traveling/on the move and for their purpose and use ( low power internet and basic computing use ) I love the silence as well as usually low power usage.
Got one for the wife. She doesn't notice it, but the screen is bad. Also no HDMI out (usb-c dongle works). Besides that it's perfectly functional - with a better screen I'd recommend …
Savings: $110.00, 1080p display, USB-C port, good size
