The range I gave is based on CPU/RAM/SSD specs obviously, so your N100 system should be specced to match.
Here's an i7-11390H/16GB/512GB system you can buy today on Amazon from a somewhat reputable Chinese brand for $170. Its CPU is ~50% faster than a N100 single-threaded and ~80% faster multi-threaded:
A similarly priced system with a much faster CPU will be on sale in 3 months, maybe sooner. Feel free to spec a similar N100 system on Amazon (or Newegg or a similarly reputable vendor with no-questions-asked returns) for much less.

I don't need that shit, though.
I don't need to spend the extra money. I don't need to wait between 3 and 11 months.
I do need a computer today. And if an N100 meets my needs today, then I'm buying one -- today.
Srsly.
