You must have had an off by one keyboard error, since it appearts to be
1366x768, which makes sense since it is a common size.

Could be.

It appears to be the model edugear OneBook EAS23, although most came
with Win10 Home and without the keyboard, so with pro and the keyboard
that does seem like an interesting device.

SD slot is handy.  One USB port is rather limited, but much better than
zero.  No wired ethernet, but I must admit I rarely use that these days,
and USB exists.
