It's a laptop, not a gaming computer. What did you expect.
I'd expect at least a good screen and not a crappy 1080p LCD panel.
I wasn't expecting it at all. It looks like an excellent device if they can get the production costs down. I have a kid who needs a school laptop for next year and this is under very strong consideration.
My other kids got MSI Moderns which is my benchmark for cheap and cheerful. Nobody gets too upset if they get knocked of a desk or someone comes off their bike, you can easily pay twice as much for comparable performance. School laptops only need to run MS Office and a browser and spending money on a Windows device is a waste. I will happily pay a small premium for a Framework but it can't be too crazy.
