The laptop is a cheaper HP 14 inch that was Microsoft's retort to Chromebooks, so similar specs to a Chromebook (Light Intel processor, 4GB memory, 64GB eMMC storage) but shipped with Windows 10 originally.
The woman buying this knows it is not a great laptop, but it is a step up from their outdated Chromebook with only 2GB memory and 32GB storage. They will be testing out Linux on this and if they like it will consider "a more serious laptop" (her words).
I usually sell ThinkPad laptops, but this was a good fit for what was wanted and I had it.
