I know, sorry for those not near a Microcenter! 🙁

I was comparing this to today’s Dell.com deals and if you’re looking for a budget laptop this is an outstanding deal, especially if you can snag an Open Box (Minneapolis store currently has one for $ 239.96).

The i3-7130U gets a Passmark benchmark of 4,094 [cpubenchmark.net] which is quite decent, plus it has 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD instead of the 4GB/500GB typical in other budget laptops.
