It all depends on the user. Entry level for one is perfectly satisfactory for (my guess) the majority of users.
I disagree !
Several years ago, my mother-in-law bought a new laptop because she was having "issues" with her old one (she real did not need a new laptop, just a better way to connect to the internet). She bought an "entry" level machine running Windows 8.
The transition from Win7 to Win8 was quite an issue and she ended up give me the machine. I did the Win8 to Win10 free "upgrade". What a mistake ! With only 1 core and with only 4GB of memory, the poor machine was swapping itself to death ! Then I found out that the memory could not be upgraded (it was soldered to the motherboard; the space for the second memory SODIMM did not have a socket)
About the only thing this laptop would be good for is a Linux laptop.
I would never recommend ANY PC with less than 4 cores and 8GB of upgradeable memory !
