What's your experience with i3 on it? Is it lightweight enough to be usable as an Internet device?

Yep! It's a decent web browsing experience with Chromium once you configure some of the settings, and use at least uMatrix to block some of the heftier Javascript. And you can use SMTube to play Youtube videos.

I'm currently running Chromium with a few open tabs, SMTube, VS Code, and Hexchat without any problems.
