It's an Acer Aspire ES1-132 series N16Q6. I don't think it's still for sale. I also would not recommend it, the screen is really bad (though was to be expected for the low price), the trackpad is quite bad also.

I run Linux on it with i3wm, so I don't bother with the low hardware specs, I rarely use the trackpad. A better screen would be nice though, hence that I am interested in the StarLite.

I have a similar one that I bought for exactly the same reasons - something I wouldn’t be too sad if ran over by a car.

It’s now with my daughter, as her homeschooling computer (schools have since returned to normal where I live, but the kids still use Teams and other apps to keep in touch). It’s definitely recommended.
