    wouldn't be too clued in when it comes to laptops but I do know 32G storage is not good, would this still be worth buying and then getting an external hard drive to add to it?
    just looking for something basic for web browsing mostly

    Beware of laptops like this with only 32GB storage as there is barely space left to install much on. E.g. A niece has a similar S110 model and can't even install Roblox on it.
    Although you can add on external storage, stuff like updating windows to newer versions is incredibly difficult as it requires so much space on the C drive ( as it keeps windows.old in tandem during that process).

    would avoid.

    buy a second-hand laptop instead

    32gb internal storage is just too small as said to even manage windows updates
