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

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:14.160
netbook [music] from AliExpress. Why, you ask? If you sort all the new Windows

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:19.439
laptops in existence from low to high, the top result will be this. The laptop

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.279
10.1 in Windows 10 notebook computer, full HD netbook, mini gaming, mass

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.480
memory, 3 gig plus 32 gig cheap PC laptops. But what it lacks in having a

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:31.359
brand name or a name at all, it sure as

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:36.640
heck makes up for with being pink. So what happens when [music] you buy the

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.719
absolute cheapest laptop? We are about

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

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:52.079
need some onthe-go juice? The UG Green 145 W power bank is equipped with PD

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.000
3.0, QC 3.0, and a massive 25,000 mAh

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.559
battery. Check it out at the link below. See, here's the thing. As the machine

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:04.239
gets cheaper, the computer gets lighter and the screen gets heavier to the point

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.799
where the balance is uh not great. Let's

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.640
take a look at the manual. Laptops. I feel like this is one of those

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.360
inspirational posters. What I do get is a surprisingly thorough quick start

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.360
guide, though. Things do fall apart a little when we look closer. Touchpad.

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:22.360
It's convenient for you to operate the computer.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:29.280
Wow. It says I can charge over either the barrel jack or the type-C interface.

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:34.320
Huh. I wasn't expecting that. I think I figured it out. There's two completely

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.840
different laptops in here with two completely different legends for what

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.640
everything is on them. Oh, this one's actually right.

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.640
Oh, I was looking at the wrong one. So, the touchpad is not convenient to

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:49.840
operate the computer. It's operating laptop easily.

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:57.119
Wow. Okay. Let's see if there's anything else in here. More packing foam. And

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.200
wow, they included a mouse.

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:03.759
Imagine looking at Apple's mouse and thinking

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:06.719
right there. That's the ergonomic design I want.

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.959
This was a very cheap laptop and it never mentioned once that it came with a

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:16.120
mouse. That is a huge bonus. Okay, look at that trackpad. That's probably

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.120
massive.

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.920
Yeah, this is probably a pretty big improvement. And to their credit, it

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.080
doesn't charge from the bottom. The only other thing in the box is our power

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:31.120
adapter, which totally makes sense, except also doesn't because the

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.239
AliExpress listing shows and mentions

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.840
micro USB for power. In fairness though,

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.

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.239
Not going to hold that against it. What I will hold against it is its truly

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.840
archaic screen to body ratio. I don't

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:50.840
think I've seen bezels this big.

00:02:52.879 --> 00:03:00.239
For funsies, we calculated it and it's 59.6%.

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:04.080
Wow. With that said, the build quality of it, I mean, it's no aluminum unibody

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

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:16.239
LG Graham, a machine that costs an order of magnitude more. And it's better, but

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.760
and bigger, but you know, things fall

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,

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

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.319
SD slot for expansion. Uh, actually, that's an earphone hole.

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:35.120
Sorry, this is an earphone hole. Yes. I'm sorry. Okay. Did I get anything else

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.799
wrong? Actually, that's trans flash, not micro SD.

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:46.000
Okay, that shouldn't matter. Translash is just an outdated term for micro SD.

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.879
Really? It's Is it not the same? Okay,

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.959
hold on a second. So, we've got a new high-speed, high-capacity micro SD.

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:58.480
There's no way. I think it's just an outdated terminology.

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:00.879
This is going to work. Wow.

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:07.120
Did we have Brandon from the lab check this display? Yes,

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.680
it's really slow, right? My micro SD card totally works. Look at this. Look

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:15.760
at these icons popping in. That's nuts. Yeah.

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:20.880
What icon pack is that? Then over on the other side, obviously, we've got our

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.320
power input, USB 3 again.

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:27.360
And then it said it had HDMI, but this

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:30.080
is mini HDMI, which is infinitely worse.

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:35.520
It is an awful, awful connector. Now, Alex sent me some notes on the keyboard

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.520
saying, and I quote, "It is surprisingly

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:38.520
good.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.400
Okay. I um h it's not the greatest thing

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:52.720
in the world, but the layout is what you would expect. The keys have a

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:58.720
surprisingly long travel, and as long as you don't mind the miniature key caps,

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:02.160
it's not terrible. I'm getting kind of a

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:04.639
designed for kids vibe. Yeah, which

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:08.560
isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as it works okay. That seems like the

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:14.639
perfect target audience for the cheapest laptop in the world. With that said, it

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:19.520
has to work okay. Um, and the trackpad is not as good. The size, honestly, I

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

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.199
have trouble moving around on it, but the click,

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:32.080
I think it could best be described as crunchy. Here, listen to this. If you

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:36.240
press too hard on the left click, the right click activates as well. Of

00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:42.160
course, who needs a quality trackpad when you've got a bonus included mouse.

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.160
And according to my notes, it is better than I expect.

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:50.960
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical here. Oh, mouse is great.

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:52.880
Great. Okay, let's have a look here. 125

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:59.280
Hz polling rate, 25 milliseconds of latency. Okay, that's about expected.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.360
Adjustable DPI all the way from 400

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:03.680
to,600. And oh, is that what this button does?

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.840
Yeah, it has a Okay, it has a DPI button.

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:15.600
Antoine measured this. Yes. 03 and 38 for sensor accuracy and

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:18.319
precision respectively. That's actually a really strong result. Yeah, that's

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.120
quite good. This thing absolutely annihilates the

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

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:30.960
updated the firmware. Sorry, spin. I actually don't know what spin out is.

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.759
You know when you like are in CSGO or whatever and you flick the mouse and

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:37.039
instead of it tracking it just like

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.360
poops itself and your character just goes like, "Oh, sure." To be clear, we're not

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

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.680
problems at high speeds like you might encounter in gaming. In fact, you can

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.919
even see that instead of it moving straight across in a line, sometimes

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

00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:06.960
we expected. The click feel is also awful here. Can you even hear it?

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:09.360
Ironically, the DPI select button has by

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:13.280
far the best tactile feel. Still opening. Still opening. How are they

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:16.960
going to spy on me if the camera app can't even open?

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:22.160
Wow, that's beautiful. I can't tell how much of that is the bad

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.880
camera and how much of that is the bad pixel response time of the display.

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:29.199
Wow, I have aged terribly.

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:32.479
Not the best webcam I've ever seen. You know, people are always talking

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:35.680
about how like all the bearded white dudes here look similar and I never saw

00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.319
it until I looked at an image in this webcam. Y

00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:46.160
can't tell the difference. Why don't we talk performance now?

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.680
For CPU, there might be two options.

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:53.120
What do you mean two options? Well, the specs have two different ones.

00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:55.520
Either a Celeron or an Atom. Both from

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

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:04.560
going to be whatever it is in here. Okay, I'm checking Task Manager. And it

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.879
looks like we got the Celeron N3350.

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:13.360
That is a dual core processor with a base speed of 1.1 GHz. Wow. That

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:18.560
explains why it's been kind of slow. Hold on a second though. Things are

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:21.599
about to get worse. What the heck is 2.8

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.160
gigs of memory? How do you put 2.8 gigs

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:28.160
of memory in a computer? Alex, do you have an explanation for this? Also, how

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.800
high is this chip supposed to turbo? Because I don't think it does at all.

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.039
Oh, wait. Oh, no, it does. There you go. Okay, she'll turbo to 2

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

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:44.640
uncertainty cuz you can never really measure the laptop because things like

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

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:55.120
fact that dragging a task manager window spikes the CPU usage to 60%. Or the fact

00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:58.640
that it isn't even trying to render that window preview.

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:02.480
Okay. Okay. I did that intentionally cuz it does speed it up a lot. Oh, okay.

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:10.959
Yeah. Oh, okay. What the hell? I think I figured out the

00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:14.480
memory thing. It's a one gig stick and a

00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:17.680
2 gig stick. Two of three slots are

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:20.480
populated. Also, this is DDR3 memory.

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?

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.

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:36.000
Okay. Oh man, this thing sucks. Given the

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.000
cost, can we really expect that much? I mean, this is a $24 CPU.

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:44.240
I don't know. You can at least expect updates. This thing will be getting them

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.240
until September 30th of this year. After that, it's EOL.

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:52.720
Oh, but does a CPU need service updates? Well, like security updates are nice.

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.640
Oh, yeah. Especially with all the stuff that's been happen. Okay.

00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:59.440
We have other ideas for stress tests, though. You suggested opening a YouTube

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:03.920
video. Yes. This is one of the strongest arguments

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

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:12.640
the kinds of pages you load because anything images or autoplay video, they

00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:17.360
are going to grind your entire computer to a halt. Are forums light enough? How

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:21.440
about ltttore.com? Oh my goodness. Look at this delay. Look, I I have I have

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:31.200
pressed enter already. What? Oh, okay. I didn't do anything.

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:33.440
I'm afraid shoppers using the laptop,

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.920
netbook, whatever, are going to have a hard time. Hey, look at that. You could

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:41.279
sign up for a notification for when the Noct Toy Edition LT screwdriver is

00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:44.240
coming. Anyh who, I got distracted. What I'm

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:47.920
supposed to be doing is opening up a YouTube video. How about Crab Rave 10

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.000
hours? Perfect.

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.160
What could be better? We should have task manager. Task

00:10:53.920 --> 00:11:01.760
manager is probably sucking back 30% of the CPU, Alex. Why you got to massacre

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:06.600
my boy like that? How are the speakers? I bet they're functional.

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

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:17.560
better speakers than that. I want to hear the drop first.

00:11:21.839 --> 00:11:28.760
There's no bass. There's barely mids.

00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:28.760
Okay. Can we do 720p?

00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:35.600
Yes, we can. Barely.

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:40.320
That CPU is turboing like it's life depends on it. But will we reach 1080p

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:46.320
Nirvana? I think it's dropping frames.

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:51.440
Wow, that took a long time to full screen. What's the HL button? Windows

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:56.079
apparently. speakers are pretty awful.

00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:00.920
You can hear them shaking it, too. Yeah,

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.920
that's Morocco sound.

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.839
I don't think you can listen to these at higher than about 60% without

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.519
distortion. And at 60%, I can barely

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.

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:20.399
It's doing 1080p playback. Damn.

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:22.720
And in fairness to it, this display is a

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:27.360
lot better than the TN piece of crap that you would have found on a machine

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:28.639
like this even 3 to 5 years ago.

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:35.360
Yeah, it is IPS. It's not bright, but the viewing angles

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:37.760
are actually usable. Wait, where do you adjust the

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,

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:49.519
aka 1080p, 100 hertz, and 16 by9.

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.

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.480
Nope. Looks like it might be 1080p.

00:12:55.760 --> 00:13:02.480
Nope. Oh, well, it's definitely not 100 hertz.

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.959
What is the resolution? Is it like 1600 by 900 or something? 1280 by 800.

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.519
Really? Oh, it looks all right. Yeah, it's not that bad. I guess

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.880
it's not that big. Yeah, 10 in. That makes a really big difference. And

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:19.279
I figured out the brightness. You just have to do it in Windows with the

00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:21.120
slider. Something that I noticed, well

00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:24.639
actually our camera operator noticed is that there's a lot of flicker though in

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.800
the display and it changes depending on the brightness, which means that they're

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:34.160
using PWM control for brightness rather than [music] DC control. That is archaic

00:13:32.079 --> 00:13:39.040
and causes flicker and can lead to more eye fatigue. The actual lab's results

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:44.560
for the display are not great. The peak brightness is 244 nits, which they

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.240
describe as piss poor. [music] It's very

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:51.440
blue, 10,000K white balance, and 79%

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.800
sRGB, which means particularly your reds

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.399
are going to be very washed out. But with that said, could my kids use

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.519
this to watch Daniel Tiger? Yes. Yeah, it's fine.

00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:02.639
Absolutely. In fact, it's probably better than whatever was on a premium

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:06.480
laptop 10 years ago, or at least like a $1,000 laptop. This

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

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:16.639
fact, I think that that's probably why you thought it was dropping frames

00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:19.519
because anything in motion has so much blur, it looks like there's motion blur

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:24.320
added to it. Yeah, it's not great.

00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:28.480
I love this. In the notes, Alex writes, "If the webcam isn't an absolute potato,

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

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:38.000
of us could have possibly imagined. Now, with all of that said, a slow computer

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,

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:47.040
maybe playing some basic games on it, like Hollow Knight. I'm just waiting for

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:49.839
that to launch. One moment, please. It won't.

00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:55.199
It's not. Oh, Steam's just not going to Oh, wow. Read the notes.

00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:57.600
Oh, Hollow Knight wanted 3 hours to

00:14:55.199 --> 00:15:02.360
download [music] because of the CPU being too slow to unpack the files.

00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:08.560
Oh, I see. It's actually just incapable.

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:16.800
This is remarkable. [laughter] It's at 100% CPU usage. Steam is sucking

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:19.279
back 40% of the CPU just to not download

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:23.360
anything. Realistically then, classic flash games are probably the most you

00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:27.440
can expect from this thing. Sadly, those are no longer on the internet, but with

00:15:25.199 --> 00:15:32.079
the power of Flashoint Infinity, you can still access them if you have an

00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:37.920
internet connection. I did not know about this, but I am pretty excited to

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.560
try this. Let's go. Start Flashoint.

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.800
Uh-oh. Oh, Visual Studio runtime not found.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:47.839
Install now. This may take a few minutes. Oh, that might take a while.

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:52.440
I'm doing it. I'm going to left then right click then left click again.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.160
Has not even indicated it's [music] doing anything yet. This has been a

00:15:56.160 --> 00:16:02.639
legitimate problem while testing. Just simply downloading things takes so long

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.360
that it's difficult. It's not because it has a really, you

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:10.000
know, awful Wi-Fi chipset driver or something like that that sucks back all

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.320
the CPU. Is it? No. I plugged it in like

00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:18.639
hardwired [music] it and didn't make a difference. It has uh AC Wi-Fi though.

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:22.480
Wi-Fi 4 modern. No, AC. Isn't that Wi-Fi 5?

00:16:21.920 --> 00:16:26.880
Is it? I think so. That's better than advertised, actually.

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.

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:38.320
Maybe. I mean, for all the good it does us. Yeah. All right. Flashoint Infinity has

00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:42.160
launched. Here we go. [gasps] This is it.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.839
I love this game. No. No. It got pulled down off Newgrounds at some point or

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:52.320
addicting.com. That's one. That's the one. And then I never found it again.

00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:54.720
IT'S BACK. OH, I'M SO EXCITED TO PLAY.

00:16:52.320 --> 00:17:00.160
OH, I was like really addicted to this game. Tim was talking about how much he

00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:06.000
loves Flash Poison Infinity cuz all the games are just here. They've been saved.

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

00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:13.360
screen in forever. Wow. The last time I

00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:17.199
played this game was probably on an Athlon XP.

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

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.

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:28.679
Don't mind if I do. ltstore.com.

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:38.000
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You did it. Whoa. It's running really fast. Okay.

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:43.039
The speed that it's running at is super inconsistent, which is making this

00:17:39.760 --> 00:17:45.280
really hard to play. Uh, my fuel is low.

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:48.640
I don't remember anything about fuel. It turns out you control the speed of the

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:53.360
plane. I don't remember the plane going that fast, though. I'm pretty sure

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

00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.559
which ones are American because the display blur is so bad. I can barely

00:17:58.797 --> 00:18:05.360
[snorts] tell what flag I'm looking at. Wait. Yes. Okay. I'm apparently

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:10.240
Japanese. Okay. All right. All right, I sank a ship.

00:18:08.622 --> 00:18:14.640
[laughter] But hey, at least it has really good battery life, right?

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.760
Actually, that's not bad. Almost 5 hours of video playback and over 2 hours of

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:23.280
stress test. Yeah, especially from a 19watth battery. This thing's efficient.

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:26.320
That's a very small battery. Which means I guess it actually doesn't take that

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:31.280
long to charge then. Even though it only has a 24 watt charger.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.120
Yeah, not bad.

00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:37.360
Oh my god, these screws are all different. I wasn't really paying close

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.

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

00:18:43.919 --> 00:18:49.919
out. You know for sure, too, if you put the

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:53.039
long one in the wrong hole, it's going straight through that keyboard.

00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:58.320
Wait, did I say three different screws out of

00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:03.840
the first four? Because I meant four different screws. That's the first four

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.520
screws. They are all different.

00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:09.840
I'm starting to wonder if this is even intentional. It could just be super

00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:15.200
loose manufacturing tolerances in the screws. Does this battery even have all

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:20.480
the necessary warnings and like safety certification information on it?

00:19:17.919 --> 00:19:24.240
No. Also, I think it's larger than expected.

00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:28.400
3,000 mAh. What's that in watt hours? Uh 7.6 volts.

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.080
That's 22.8. That's higher than we thought. Yeah. By about 10%.

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:35.600
Not bad. Not bad considering how little is under it. The keyboard flex was less

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:42.400
than I expected. Yeah, there's literally not. No way. That's an

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:46.240
M.2 slot. [snorts] What? You could put an M.2 SSD in here.

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.

00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:57.280
What? There's nowhere to mount it to. It's more upgradeable than MacBooks.

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

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:05.039
find in a MacBook Air as well. The MacBook will perform a lot better, just

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

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.960
saying. Okay. Thermal pad rather than

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:18.960
thermal paste. And they actually left what appears to be captain tape or a

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:22.720
manufacturing peel on the bottom side of the Don't take that off. That's definitely

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:27.280
so they don't short it. Yes. So, they just didn't bother to

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:30.799
manufacture a cooler that doesn't short out the components below. In fact, you

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:34.880
can see there are a couple sharp ones that look like they're going to poke

00:20:32.159 --> 00:20:38.960
through it. Also, they have this cooler that covers a bunch of other components,

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:43.200
but it's not transferring any heat. It's just capped on taped.

00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:48.559
Yeah, there's our third RAM slot, though.

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

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:56.960
thought it said MediaTek something. I don't know what FN Link is.

00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:02.240
I don't know. They exist. Looks like they have actual good products. Not

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.440
good, but modern products.

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.720
Fair enough. Like we talked about the 3 gig RAM

00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:11.280
thing, and I said, I thought I figured it out, but this is mounted right

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:14.720
against the keyboard. There's nothing on the other side of this PCB.

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:21.440
So, is this That's the RAM. 3 gigs. Just like that.

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:27.360
Thanks. All that's left then is recommend or not

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:32.000
recommend. It comes with an activated Windows license of some sort. So given

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

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:40.000
is a functioning computer at all, it's

00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:44.320
kind of hard to beat it for the price. But we would strongly recommend

00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:50.640
something a little bit more functional for a little bit more. This managed a

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:52.559
Cinebench R15 score of just 89, which is

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:58.799
not an acceptable amount of performance today. For context, an Acer Aspire 5 for

00:21:55.600 --> 00:22:02.400
under $300 can be had with a Ryzen 3

00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:05.840
quad core CPU, an actual 1080p display,

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:08.880
8 gigs of RAM, and a 256 gig SSD. And

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:10.640
that's a real SSD, not eMMC flash. It's

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.679
not an amazing machine, but we've looked at it before on the channel, and it

00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:17.840
doesn't have any major weaknesses either. And with a Cinebench R15 score

00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:22.640
of 92, it could be argued that even though it's

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:26.960
double the price, it is more than 10 times the computer. It'll also keep

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:30.400
getting security updates for its CPU past um [clears throat]

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,

00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:40.480
it's awful, but also kind of endearing. [music] Kind of like the way that I

00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:42.640
segue to our sponsor, you green. Imagine

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:45.840
this. You've got your laptop open doing your laptopy things and you check your

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:49.520
battery life. What the heck? How did your battery go down even though you've

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:53.679
got it plugged in? Well, it could be that your wall charger is just not

00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:58.640
powerful enough. Enter the UG Green Nexode 100 W charger, which can supply

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

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.

00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:12.159
This portable power provider has three USBC ports, one USBA port, so you can

00:23:10.159 --> 00:23:16.240
charge your phone, your laptop, your other phone, all at the same time cuz

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:20.880
you know you're conducting business. Keep the party, I mean the productivity

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

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:28.240
enjoyed this video, maybe check out that dual screen AliExpress laptop that we

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

00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:34.400
dramatically improve
