Hi,

The link you provided about the Laptop states: "Memory Slot (Available) 	0", indicating you would not be able to upgrade the memory.

I believe you can put in an M.2 NVMe and then install Linux to that NVMe, that way you can still boot Windows as well as Linux?

I would be concerned about CPU performance. I have had challenges using a CPU that is less than the performance of an i5. Though I did set up a laptop like this for a person to use video conferencing through a Web Browser a few years ago using Debian XFCE, and that worked well.

I guess this depends on what you want to use it for? 

Intel Pentium Silver N6000
https://versus.com/en/intel-pentium-silver-n6000
Someone's comment reguards the CPU:  "I do not recommend for any task at all, this processor can barely run browsers alone or just a 4k video. If you versus any processer against this and it says the pentium silver n6000 wins, just know its a lie. Do not buy this garbage"

My challenge with such videos on YouTube is many variations of models, and whether the one I buy is exactly the same model as the one I am watching. After purchase the model can be slightly different from the ones in video.
