If you are buying for young kids maybe focus more on a good screen and keyboard. If there is a windows version of MacBook air (120hz) I would absolutely recommend it. This laptop is great for business purposes and if you don't use it too much because the screen is kind of horrible compared to other choices in the same price range. In fact you use 120hz much more than the 32gb no matter what
However, I'd prefer a 16 inch screen if it is going to be my only screen. The drawback is that the laptop might be a bit larger. I would take her to a store and have her compare 14 to a 16 to see what she prefers. I had a 16 Acer last year and if I was in college, i would prefer it over 14.

S14 screen is...not crap but not great at all. Not really usable in any room with lights because of that reflection. I would 500% prefer anti glare ips. The color is good but 60hz and dimming kills it. I have 3 of them. While none can do 10000 on cb23 (even my 5 years old 5600g can somehow get that), one of them can get an impressive 4050 in time spy (130V). The chassis for vivobook s14 has the best cooling ability in the class. It is also light.
Again, I'm not happy with the screen at all. I have used one and throw them to employees and they all hate the screen. I'm selling them at a loss now.
Glad to hear folks having some sense. That $600 Acer deal is absolutely the best during a long time but sadly, after waiting for days and my order of two got canceled by Walmart. Fark them.
For picking up a laptop with decent screens it really comes to just three points:
1. You want a Samsung screen if you could. That's the best screen out there.
2. You want a 120hz with over 1080p (ideally 3k) resolution, even for the most basic work.
3. If you want an OLED, you need a touchscreen. The reason you need a touch screen is NOT that you need the function, but that touchscreen has a layer of glass on top of the normal crap reflective OLED screen, which not only makes it more robust and easy to clean but also much more integrated.
Whenever you get these three, you will have a long lasting love of your laptop.
BTW, I would much prefer a 120hz anti glare IPS to a crap reflective non usable cheap OLED.
Do you need 32gb and a good GPU? Can you accept a mediocre CPU performance? Do you want to sacrifice the screen, which you watch all the time while using it for these? If yes go for it. I would say it's a good work horse, but not a comfortable one.
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention, I use two monitors so the screen of this will stay closed majority of the time. Just need something that won't "slow down" for keeping multiple chrome tabs and Microsoft teams and rdp sessions. Currently my old Lenovo is giving up. With that being said, any other laptop within this price range for good specs with a good screen? Been looking for a while but cannot find a "workhorse". Thanks
