Anything better out there? Maybe a bigger screen? Or faster? Its just for surfing the web and downloading / transferring files to my NAS. Cheers M

No, not a good deal. SSD too small as well. Look for at least 4 times that size.

Disagree. A laptop with a 2TB SSD will cost you a lot more. As long as it's M.2 I think you'd be better off buying the one with the smallest usable size (which for me is probably 512 these days) and upgrade it yourself if/when you need to.
