For that price, the manufacturer did an amazing job with this laptop.
Any engineer can appreciate that the complexity of creating low cost is usually higher than creating mid range, and sometimes even high end products.

Imagine being the guys that engineered and built this thing and then you see your product on Linus Tech Tips

[GirlyMe-jmmn]

i kind of love this og vibe to this video. the camera even put a little of the past in there and it felt nice and refreshing to see you guys smiling like that.

[IrisCorven]

I love that Labs gets to write out a result as "piss poor". That's the level of clarity we deserve in every review.

[nilskirchhoff]

Now I want to see Linus upgrade that thing with additional ram, and a m.2 drive. The soldering alone is worth a video.

[atlys]

Gotta say, I always enjoy when these random super cheap products actually end up having some specs/stats that are surprisingly, and sometimes even shockingly better than expected.

[babybluesky]

I had one of these and it was amazing the difference putting Linux Mint onto it made - it is no way capable of video editing or anything heavy like that, but if you need something with a word processor and some browsing - this is alright for the money and I would recommend it.

3:33 There are minor differences between TF and SD cards, but they are 100% compatible with each other. TF is used by manufacturers that don't want to pay licensing fees to the SD Association.

I think for this price a refurbished laptop is a better choice. I bought my mom a Lenovo ThinkPad T480 for 170€, with an i5 8350U, 8GB of DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD and a 14" Full HD display, and it came with a one year warranty as well.

79% sRGB is actually pretty impressive. A ton of Thinkpads and gaming laptops came with ~61% sRGB screens (if you even opted for IPS at all) and I still have an HP convertible laying around that retailed for $800 with the same amount of coverage.

When you buy the cheapest laptop you get a laptop better than mine 💀

12:41 "Window 10" in comic sans is crazy

The 2.8 GB thing also happens on 1st gen macbooks, which only had a 32 bit EFI or something like that. You could install 4 GB but 1.2 GB would be wasted. Better to just install 3 GB.

[AJRestoration]

You should have stuck a m.2 in there and redo the operating system to tiny 10 see if that improved it. I would actually love to see that.

[SirSaizo]

9:54 "We have other idea for stress test though. Like opening a youtube video."
before i got my new laptop i felt that on a spiritual level

[mbarricelliwv]

I had one of these sorta laptops when I was just entering middle school (now out of highschool by a couple years), windows XP and by the time I got rid of it not even a factory reset could scrape all the malware and popups off of it. Played Minecraft at around 0-4fps and anything over 10fps was a moment of bliss, lived like that for all of middle school. Good times

[NobleGrows]

I love how they make it so cheap but still print the quick start guide in color like damn they got thier priorities straight

[Nathan-zcdb]

This is honestly so much better than I expected. I don't care how bad the microphone/ webcam are, at this price point I'm amazed it has them!

[Candice-pr]

Whatever you're going through, don't give up.Because no persistence will ever be let down.

[RobertPendell]

EMMC storage is typically registered as SD in Windows so that's correct. I think you got it right for the memory.
