I bought a cheap laptop (very similar) from Dell. It was worthless. Ars is correct that the disk space available is completely insufficient to run Windows, no upgrades can be performed, and also you cannot turn off Windows upgrades, and also a pending Windows upgrade completely disables the machine, and also you cannot add external storage and run either Windows or the upgrade process from said storage (Windows MUST download, expand, and install the upgrade from the C:, no exceptions). So: it's a paperweight as sold, completely unfit for any purpose at all, and any class action lawyer who wants to can probably make their rent for the year by taking on these laptops sold from multiple major sellers. "A scam" would be a nice way of describing them, selling something completely non-functional. They can run Linux, sort of. Not well. Acceptably for some purposes.
