1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,240
I've got something I want to show [music] you. Meet my big pink 10-in baby

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:14,160
netbook [music] from AliExpress. Why, you ask? If you sort all the new Windows

3
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:19,439
laptops in existence from low to high, the top result will be this. The laptop

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,279
10.1 in Windows 10 notebook computer, full HD netbook, mini gaming, mass

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:28,480
memory, 3 gig plus 32 gig cheap PC laptops. But what it lacks in having a

6
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,359
brand name or a name at all, it sure as

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,640
heck makes up for with being pink. So what happens when [music] you buy the

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,719
absolute cheapest laptop? We are about

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:44,000
to find out. Like we're about to find out about our sponsor, UG Green. Do you

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:52,079
need some onthe-go juice? The UG Green 145 W power bank is equipped with PD

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,000
3.0, QC 3.0, and a massive 25,000 mAh

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,559
battery. Check it out at the link below. See, here's the thing. As the machine

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,239
gets cheaper, the computer gets lighter and the screen gets heavier to the point

14
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,799
where the balance is uh not great. Let's

15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,640
take a look at the manual. Laptops. I feel like this is one of those

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:15,360
inspirational posters. What I do get is a surprisingly thorough quick start

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,360
guide, though. Things do fall apart a little when we look closer. Touchpad.

18
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:22,360
It's convenient for you to operate the computer.

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,280
Wow. It says I can charge over either the barrel jack or the type-C interface.

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,320
Huh. I wasn't expecting that. I think I figured it out. There's two completely

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,840
different laptops in here with two completely different legends for what

22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,640
everything is on them. Oh, this one's actually right.

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,640
Oh, I was looking at the wrong one. So, the touchpad is not convenient to

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,840
operate the computer. It's operating laptop easily.

25
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:57,119
Wow. Okay. Let's see if there's anything else in here. More packing foam. And

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,200
wow, they included a mouse.

27
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:03,759
Imagine looking at Apple's mouse and thinking

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,719
right there. That's the ergonomic design I want.

29
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:10,959
This was a very cheap laptop and it never mentioned once that it came with a

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:16,120
mouse. That is a huge bonus. Okay, look at that trackpad. That's probably

31
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,120
massive.

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,920
Yeah, this is probably a pretty big improvement. And to their credit, it

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,080
doesn't charge from the bottom. The only other thing in the box is our power

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:31,120
adapter, which totally makes sense, except also doesn't because the

35
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,239
AliExpress listing shows and mentions

36
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,840
micro USB for power. In fairness though,

37
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,640
I think I'd much rather have a barrel plug. Micro USB was not made for this.

38
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:46,239
Not going to hold that against it. What I will hold against it is its truly

39
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,840
archaic screen to body ratio. I don't

40
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:50,840
think I've seen bezels this big.

41
00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:00,239
For funsies, we calculated it and it's 59.6%.

42
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:04,080
Wow. With that said, the build quality of it, I mean, it's no aluminum unibody

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,519
or anything, but it's far from the worst I've ever seen. For context, here's an

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:16,239
LG Graham, a machine that costs an order of magnitude more. And it's better, but

45
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:17,760
and bigger, but you know, things fall

46
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:22,080
apart a little when we get to I/IO, though. It starts good. USB 3. I mean,

47
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,239
that's not to be taken for granted on a machine like this. A headset jack. Micro

48
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,319
SD slot for expansion. Uh, actually, that's an earphone hole.

49
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Sorry, this is an earphone hole. Yes. I'm sorry. Okay. Did I get anything else

50
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,799
wrong? Actually, that's trans flash, not micro SD.

51
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Okay, that shouldn't matter. Translash is just an outdated term for micro SD.

52
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,879
Really? It's Is it not the same? Okay,

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,959
hold on a second. So, we've got a new high-speed, high-capacity micro SD.

54
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,480
There's no way. I think it's just an outdated terminology.

55
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,879
This is going to work. Wow.

56
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Did we have Brandon from the lab check this display? Yes,

57
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,680
it's really slow, right? My micro SD card totally works. Look at this. Look

58
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,760
at these icons popping in. That's nuts. Yeah.

59
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:20,880
What icon pack is that? Then over on the other side, obviously, we've got our

60
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:24,320
power input, USB 3 again.

61
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,360
And then it said it had HDMI, but this

62
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,080
is mini HDMI, which is infinitely worse.

63
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:35,520
It is an awful, awful connector. Now, Alex sent me some notes on the keyboard

64
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,520
saying, and I quote, "It is surprisingly

65
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
good.

66
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Okay. I um h it's not the greatest thing

67
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,720
in the world, but the layout is what you would expect. The keys have a

68
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,720
surprisingly long travel, and as long as you don't mind the miniature key caps,

69
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,160
it's not terrible. I'm getting kind of a

70
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,639
designed for kids vibe. Yeah, which

71
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,560
isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as it works okay. That seems like the

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:14,639
perfect target audience for the cheapest laptop in the world. With that said, it

73
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,520
has to work okay. Um, and the trackpad is not as good. The size, honestly, I

74
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,880
don't even mind that much given how small the display is. It's not like I

75
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:27,199
have trouble moving around on it, but the click,

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,080
I think it could best be described as crunchy. Here, listen to this. If you

77
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:36,240
press too hard on the left click, the right click activates as well. Of

78
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:42,160
course, who needs a quality trackpad when you've got a bonus included mouse.

79
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,160
And according to my notes, it is better than I expect.

80
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:50,960
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical here. Oh, mouse is great.

81
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:52,880
Great. Okay, let's have a look here. 125

82
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:59,280
Hz polling rate, 25 milliseconds of latency. Okay, that's about expected.

83
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,360
Adjustable DPI all the way from 400

84
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,680
to,600. And oh, is that what this button does?

85
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,840
Yeah, it has a Okay, it has a DPI button.

86
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:15,600
Antoine measured this. Yes. 03 and 38 for sensor accuracy and

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,319
precision respectively. That's actually a really strong result. Yeah, that's

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,120
quite good. This thing absolutely annihilates the

89
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Tommy Hilfiger gaming mouse we looked at a little while ago and some Glorious mice before they

90
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,960
updated the firmware. Sorry, spin. I actually don't know what spin out is.

91
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,759
You know when you like are in CSGO or whatever and you flick the mouse and

92
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:37,039
instead of it tracking it just like

93
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,360
poops itself and your character just goes like, "Oh, sure." To be clear, we're not

94
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,479
saying you should replace your gaming mouse with this thing. Sensor acceleration and spin out are both

95
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,680
problems at high speeds like you might encounter in gaming. In fact, you can

96
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,919
even see that instead of it moving straight across in a line, sometimes

97
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:58,160
there are outliers way above or below. We're just saying it's a lot better than

98
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:06,960
we expected. The click feel is also awful here. Can you even hear it?

99
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,360
Ironically, the DPI select button has by

100
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,280
far the best tactile feel. Still opening. Still opening. How are they

101
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,960
going to spy on me if the camera app can't even open?

102
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Wow, that's beautiful. I can't tell how much of that is the bad

103
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:26,880
camera and how much of that is the bad pixel response time of the display.

104
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,199
Wow, I have aged terribly.

105
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,479
Not the best webcam I've ever seen. You know, people are always talking

106
00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:35,680
about how like all the bearded white dudes here look similar and I never saw

107
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,319
it until I looked at an image in this webcam. Y

108
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:46,160
can't tell the difference. Why don't we talk performance now?

109
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,680
For CPU, there might be two options.

110
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:53,120
What do you mean two options? Well, the specs have two different ones.

111
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Either a Celeron or an Atom. Both from

112
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,720
about 2016. Which one do you want? What do you mean which one do I want? It's

113
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:04,560
going to be whatever it is in here. Okay, I'm checking Task Manager. And it

114
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,879
looks like we got the Celeron N3350.

115
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:13,360
That is a dual core processor with a base speed of 1.1 GHz. Wow. That

116
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:18,560
explains why it's been kind of slow. Hold on a second though. Things are

117
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,599
about to get worse. What the heck is 2.8

118
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,160
gigs of memory? How do you put 2.8 gigs

119
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:28,160
of memory in a computer? Alex, do you have an explanation for this? Also, how

120
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,800
high is this chip supposed to turbo? Because I don't think it does at all.

121
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,039
Oh, wait. Oh, no, it does. There you go. Okay, she'll turbo to 2

122
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:40,719
GHz. That's one of the things that I have in my notes. It's like Heisenberg's

123
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:44,640
uncertainty cuz you can never really measure the laptop because things like

124
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:49,760
task manager and hardware info use so much CPU. I don't know what's worse, the

125
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:55,120
fact that dragging a task manager window spikes the CPU usage to 60%. Or the fact

126
00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:58,640
that it isn't even trying to render that window preview.

127
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Okay. Okay. I did that intentionally cuz it does speed it up a lot. Oh, okay.

128
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:10,959
Yeah. Oh, okay. What the hell? I think I figured out the

129
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:14,480
memory thing. It's a one gig stick and a

130
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:17,680
2 gig stick. Two of three slots are

131
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,480
populated. Also, this is DDR3 memory.

132
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:26,480
And here's another thing. Why is disc 0, the C drive, listed as an SD card?

133
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:31,519
I don't know that, but it is eMMC, so it is pretty bad. Although not SD card bad.

134
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:36,000
Okay. Oh man, this thing sucks. Given the

135
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:40,000
cost, can we really expect that much? I mean, this is a $24 CPU.

136
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,240
I don't know. You can at least expect updates. This thing will be getting them

137
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,240
until September 30th of this year. After that, it's EOL.

138
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:52,720
Oh, but does a CPU need service updates? Well, like security updates are nice.

139
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Oh, yeah. Especially with all the stuff that's been happen. Okay.

140
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,440
We have other ideas for stress tests, though. You suggested opening a YouTube

141
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,920
video. Yes. This is one of the strongest arguments

142
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,920
for ad block that I think I've ever seen. Like you got to be careful about

143
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:12,640
the kinds of pages you load because anything images or autoplay video, they

144
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:17,360
are going to grind your entire computer to a halt. Are forums light enough? How

145
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,440
about ltttore.com? Oh my goodness. Look at this delay. Look, I I have I have

146
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:31,200
pressed enter already. What? Oh, okay. I didn't do anything.

147
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,440
I'm afraid shoppers using the laptop,

148
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,920
netbook, whatever, are going to have a hard time. Hey, look at that. You could

149
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,279
sign up for a notification for when the Noct Toy Edition LT screwdriver is

150
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,240
coming. Anyh who, I got distracted. What I'm

151
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,920
supposed to be doing is opening up a YouTube video. How about Crab Rave 10

152
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:52,000
hours? Perfect.

153
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:56,160
What could be better? We should have task manager. Task

154
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:01,760
manager is probably sucking back 30% of the CPU, Alex. Why you got to massacre

155
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:06,600
my boy like that? How are the speakers? I bet they're functional.

156
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:13,440
That's as loud as they get, huh? I feel like I've had smart [music] watches with

157
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:17,560
better speakers than that. I want to hear the drop first.

158
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:28,760
There's no bass. There's barely mids.

159
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Okay. Can we do 720p?

160
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:35,600
Yes, we can. Barely.

161
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:40,320
That CPU is turboing like it's life depends on it. But will we reach 1080p

162
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:46,320
Nirvana? I think it's dropping frames.

163
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:51,440
Wow, that took a long time to full screen. What's the HL button? Windows

164
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:56,079
apparently. speakers are pretty awful.

165
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:00,920
You can hear them shaking it, too. Yeah,

166
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
that's Morocco sound.

167
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,839
I don't think you can listen to these at higher than about 60% without

168
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:09,519
distortion. And at 60%, I can barely

169
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:13,839
hear it. I really don't think it's dropping frames though, Alex. It looks like it's figured it out.

170
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:20,399
It's doing 1080p playback. Damn.

171
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,720
And in fairness to it, this display is a

172
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:27,360
lot better than the TN piece of crap that you would have found on a machine

173
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,639
like this even 3 to 5 years ago.

174
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Yeah, it is IPS. It's not bright, but the viewing angles

175
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:37,760
are actually usable. Wait, where do you adjust the

176
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:47,519
brightness? I haven't actually tried that. On the website, it claims that it is full HD,

177
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:49,519
aka 1080p, 100 hertz, and 16 by9.

178
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:53,040
How many of those do you think are true? This doesn't seem to be 16 by9.

179
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,480
Nope. Looks like it might be 1080p.

180
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Nope. Oh, well, it's definitely not 100 hertz.

181
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,959
What is the resolution? Is it like 1600 by 900 or something? 1280 by 800.

182
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,519
Really? Oh, it looks all right. Yeah, it's not that bad. I guess

183
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:14,880
it's not that big. Yeah, 10 in. That makes a really big difference. And

184
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,279
I figured out the brightness. You just have to do it in Windows with the

185
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,120
slider. Something that I noticed, well

186
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:24,639
actually our camera operator noticed is that there's a lot of flicker though in

187
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,800
the display and it changes depending on the brightness, which means that they're

188
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:34,160
using PWM control for brightness rather than [music] DC control. That is archaic

189
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:39,040
and causes flicker and can lead to more eye fatigue. The actual lab's results

190
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:44,560
for the display are not great. The peak brightness is 244 nits, which they

191
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:48,240
describe as piss poor. [music] It's very

192
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:51,440
blue, 10,000K white balance, and 79%

193
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,800
sRGB, which means particularly your reds

194
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,399
are going to be very washed out. But with that said, could my kids use

195
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:59,519
this to watch Daniel Tiger? Yes. Yeah, it's fine.

196
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:02,639
Absolutely. In fact, it's probably better than whatever was on a premium

197
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,480
laptop 10 years ago, or at least like a $1,000 laptop. This

198
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:12,079
is much better. We haven't gotten away from the pixel response time issue, though. And in

199
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:16,639
fact, I think that that's probably why you thought it was dropping frames

200
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,519
because anything in motion has so much blur, it looks like there's motion blur

201
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:24,320
added to it. Yeah, it's not great.

202
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:28,480
I love this. In the notes, Alex writes, "If the webcam isn't an absolute potato,

203
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,639
I'll eat my shoe." We already looked at it. It's more potato than I think either

204
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:38,000
of us could have possibly imagined. Now, with all of that said, a slow computer

205
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:42,880
is still a flipping computer. It runs at 2 GHz, and we had the idea of Well, hey,

206
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,040
maybe playing some basic games on it, like Hollow Knight. I'm just waiting for

207
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,839
that to launch. One moment, please. It won't.

208
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:55,199
It's not. Oh, Steam's just not going to Oh, wow. Read the notes.

209
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Oh, Hollow Knight wanted 3 hours to

210
00:14:55,199 --> 00:15:02,360
download [music] because of the CPU being too slow to unpack the files.

211
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Oh, I see. It's actually just incapable.

212
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:16,800
This is remarkable. [laughter] It's at 100% CPU usage. Steam is sucking

213
00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:19,279
back 40% of the CPU just to not download

214
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:23,360
anything. Realistically then, classic flash games are probably the most you

215
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:27,440
can expect from this thing. Sadly, those are no longer on the internet, but with

216
00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:32,079
the power of Flashoint Infinity, you can still access them if you have an

217
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:37,920
internet connection. I did not know about this, but I am pretty excited to

218
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,560
try this. Let's go. Start Flashoint.

219
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,800
Uh-oh. Oh, Visual Studio runtime not found.

220
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,839
Install now. This may take a few minutes. Oh, that might take a while.

221
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:52,440
I'm doing it. I'm going to left then right click then left click again.

222
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Has not even indicated it's [music] doing anything yet. This has been a

223
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,639
legitimate problem while testing. Just simply downloading things takes so long

224
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:07,360
that it's difficult. It's not because it has a really, you

225
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,000
know, awful Wi-Fi chipset driver or something like that that sucks back all

226
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,320
the CPU. Is it? No. I plugged it in like

227
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,639
hardwired [music] it and didn't make a difference. It has uh AC Wi-Fi though.

228
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Wi-Fi 4 modern. No, AC. Isn't that Wi-Fi 5?

229
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Is it? I think so. That's better than advertised, actually.

230
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,079
Really? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, so it has a decent Wi-Fi thing.

231
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:38,320
Maybe. I mean, for all the good it does us. Yeah. All right. Flashoint Infinity has

232
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:42,160
launched. Here we go. [gasps] This is it.

233
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,839
I love this game. No. No. It got pulled down off Newgrounds at some point or

234
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:52,320
addicting.com. That's one. That's the one. And then I never found it again.

235
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,720
IT'S BACK. OH, I'M SO EXCITED TO PLAY.

236
00:16:52,320 --> 00:17:00,160
OH, I was like really addicted to this game. Tim was talking about how much he

237
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:06,000
loves Flash Poison Infinity cuz all the games are just here. They've been saved.

238
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:11,600
That is so cool. I'm going to play Pearl Harbor. Man, I haven't seen this loading

239
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:13,360
screen in forever. Wow. The last time I

240
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:17,199
played this game was probably on an Athlon XP.

241
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:21,039
I don't remember it taking this long to load. I don't know. Standards were different

242
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:25,679
back then. Like you'd boot up something and then just like go and get a water.

243
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:28,679
Don't mind if I do. ltstore.com.

244
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You did it. Whoa. It's running really fast. Okay.

245
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:43,039
The speed that it's running at is super inconsistent, which is making this

246
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,280
really hard to play. Uh, my fuel is low.

247
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:48,640
I don't remember anything about fuel. It turns out you control the speed of the

248
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:53,360
plane. I don't remember the plane going that fast, though. I'm pretty sure

249
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,960
that's not a thing. Oh my god. I can't even tell which ships are Japanese and

250
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,559
which ones are American because the display blur is so bad. I can barely

251
00:17:58,797 --> 00:18:05,360
[snorts] tell what flag I'm looking at. Wait. Yes. Okay. I'm apparently

252
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Japanese. Okay. All right. All right, I sank a ship.

253
00:18:08,622 --> 00:18:14,640
[laughter] But hey, at least it has really good battery life, right?

254
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Actually, that's not bad. Almost 5 hours of video playback and over 2 hours of

255
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:23,280
stress test. Yeah, especially from a 19watth battery. This thing's efficient.

256
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:26,320
That's a very small battery. Which means I guess it actually doesn't take that

257
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:31,280
long to charge then. Even though it only has a 24 watt charger.

258
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,120
Yeah, not bad.

259
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:37,360
Oh my god, these screws are all different. I wasn't really paying close

260
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,840
attention. I don't I don't know where they go. I think it's [music] like this.

261
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:46,080
Yeah, we've got three different kinds of screws out of the first four I've taken

262
00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:49,919
out. You know for sure, too, if you put the

263
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,039
long one in the wrong hole, it's going straight through that keyboard.

264
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Wait, did I say three different screws out of

265
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:03,840
the first four? Because I meant four different screws. That's the first four

266
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,520
screws. They are all different.

267
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,840
I'm starting to wonder if this is even intentional. It could just be super

268
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:15,200
loose manufacturing tolerances in the screws. Does this battery even have all

269
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:20,480
the necessary warnings and like safety certification information on it?

270
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:24,240
No. Also, I think it's larger than expected.

271
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,400
3,000 mAh. What's that in watt hours? Uh 7.6 volts.

272
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:32,080
That's 22.8. That's higher than we thought. Yeah. By about 10%.

273
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Not bad. Not bad considering how little is under it. The keyboard flex was less

274
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:42,400
than I expected. Yeah, there's literally not. No way. That's an

275
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,240
M.2 slot. [snorts] What? You could put an M.2 SSD in here.

276
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,320
That's not an M.2. That is an M.2. It's labeled SSD, smart guy.

277
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:57,280
What? There's nowhere to mount it to. It's more upgradeable than MacBooks.

278
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:01,360
Okay, that's a low blow. It's hilarious. This is about the same cooling you'll

279
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:05,039
find in a MacBook Air as well. The MacBook will perform a lot better, just

280
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:10,480
to be very clear. I'm not uh not saying these are equivalent products. I'm just

281
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,960
saying. Okay. Thermal pad rather than

282
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:18,960
thermal paste. And they actually left what appears to be captain tape or a

283
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,720
manufacturing peel on the bottom side of the Don't take that off. That's definitely

284
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:27,280
so they don't short it. Yes. So, they just didn't bother to

285
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:30,799
manufacture a cooler that doesn't short out the components below. In fact, you

286
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,880
can see there are a couple sharp ones that look like they're going to poke

287
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:38,960
through it. Also, they have this cooler that covers a bunch of other components,

288
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:43,200
but it's not transferring any heat. It's just capped on taped.

289
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:48,559
Yeah, there's our third RAM slot, though.

290
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,640
Whatever Windows was reporting, I don't think that's what that Wi-Fi chip is. I

291
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,960
thought it said MediaTek something. I don't know what FN Link is.

292
00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:02,240
I don't know. They exist. Looks like they have actual good products. Not

293
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:03,440
good, but modern products.

294
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,720
Fair enough. Like we talked about the 3 gig RAM

295
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:11,280
thing, and I said, I thought I figured it out, but this is mounted right

296
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:14,720
against the keyboard. There's nothing on the other side of this PCB.

297
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:21,440
So, is this That's the RAM. 3 gigs. Just like that.

298
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:27,360
Thanks. All that's left then is recommend or not

299
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:32,000
recommend. It comes with an activated Windows license of some sort. So given

300
00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:37,840
that it basically comes for free with a copy of Windows. I guess if all you need

301
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:40,000
is a functioning computer at all, it's

302
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:44,320
kind of hard to beat it for the price. But we would strongly recommend

303
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:50,640
something a little bit more functional for a little bit more. This managed a

304
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,559
Cinebench R15 score of just 89, which is

305
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:58,799
not an acceptable amount of performance today. For context, an Acer Aspire 5 for

306
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:02,400
under $300 can be had with a Ryzen 3

307
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:05,840
quad core CPU, an actual 1080p display,

308
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,880
8 gigs of RAM, and a 256 gig SSD. And

309
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,640
that's a real SSD, not eMMC flash. It's

310
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,679
not an amazing machine, but we've looked at it before on the channel, and it

311
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,840
doesn't have any major weaknesses either. And with a Cinebench R15 score

312
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,640
of 92, it could be argued that even though it's

313
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:26,960
double the price, it is more than 10 times the computer. It'll also keep

314
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:30,400
getting security updates for its CPU past um [clears throat]

315
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:35,865
3 months from now. We're going to have a link to that down below. In conclusion,

316
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:40,480
it's awful, but also kind of endearing. [music] Kind of like the way that I

317
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:42,640
segue to our sponsor, you green. Imagine

318
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,840
this. You've got your laptop open doing your laptopy things and you check your

319
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,520
battery life. What the heck? How did your battery go down even though you've

320
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,679
got it plugged in? Well, it could be that your wall charger is just not

321
00:22:51,679 --> 00:22:58,640
powerful enough. Enter the UG Green Nexode 100 W charger, which can supply

322
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,080
up to, well, 100 watts of power. More than enough to keep you going. I'm sure

323
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:07,600
what you're doing is super productive, right? But what if you need to charge multiple devices at once? Don't worry.

324
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:12,159
This portable power provider has three USBC ports, one USBA port, so you can

325
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:16,240
charge your phone, your laptop, your other phone, all at the same time cuz

326
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,880
you know you're conducting business. Keep the party, I mean the productivity

327
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,799
going with the UG Nexo 100 watt charger. Check it out at the link below. If you

328
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,240
enjoyed this video, maybe check out that dual screen AliExpress laptop that we

329
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:34,400
checked out recently [music] where our community actually figured out a bunch of stuff on the forum to

330
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,400
dramatically improve
