Yes I've managed to find another Dell super deal* for those looking for cheap and semi cheerful computing....while it's not as mega deal as my last £99 Dell micro desktop, it's not too bad assuming you don't expect to use it for anything computer related. Currently £159 including delivery until 21st March 2016.
Choice of colours, up to 9 hours battery (well I guess anything is possible)

1366 x 768 at 11 inches is around the same pixel density as 1080p at 15 inches.
But I guess shouting low resolutions without being informed is cool now.

I guess Dell must have loads of 1366x768 panel from the last century, lol

So many laptops from all the vendors still ship these damned lower res screens, even on mid range laptops.... somewhere in China a factory is churning out billions of the things I reckon!

Agreed, these low res screen is OK for email and general internet but not for serious worker or HD video though...

Would this be good for a (primary school) child? Any other cheap suggestions?

To be fair, this sort of resolution is OK on screens up to 12". Not so on a 15.6" panel, however.

Sort of ok, but these low resolutions are the main reason that reading on laptop is so much more painful than on a tablet. 1080p or 1200p are a lot nicer, as long as you can get Windows to scale properly (which depends a bit on the programs, too).

This video shows a regular hard drive, the item on offer has an EMMC drive so not sure if both options exist or not.... needs further investigation.
Service manual suggests the same as the video
