Personally if they are selling around USD500 - USD600 I will be buying in a heartbeat and I think most people will be buying as well especially in developing countries.

The typical specs of the price range mentioned above are FHD and 8GB RAM, both features are a few times worst laptop compared to QHD dislay and 32GB RAM.

Why? They can already buy a Lenovo/HP/etc. laptop for <500$, FHD and 16 GB RAM (and most in that price range seem to have upgradeable storage/memory).

I'm not sure the $50-100 or so saved on the CPU would be enough to significantly improve build quality or a much better screen.

The N100 just just doesen't seem to have that many advantages over something like:

Yes, you get to save 5-15W or so, but you get a much slower chip with a way worse GPU. Still seems very niche.
