"Why is the frame rate getting better as I play Dota 2?" It's the Celeron. Celeron's don't boost CPU clock speed immediately. For some reason the max base speed has to be at 100% for an amount of time before the CPU boost to max speed.

The herobook is about 80% the speed of the larkbox pro by synthetic benchmarks(celeron n4020 vs j4125). While the j4125 is 4 cores and has UHD 605(vs 2 cores, 12 EU vs 18 EU iGPU), the scaling is poor. If you're talking a plain larkbox(j4115), it drops to a UHD 600 and has slightly lower clocks, so would be even closer to the herobook.

It's actually amazing how well that thing plays games, my first PC couldnt play half life 2. I bet it plays GTA 1 and worms 2 just fine, which is crazy from a chipset that looks like it came out of a fire alarm.
I bought one of Chuwi's early laptops, five or six years ago. It had 32 GB of eMMC, and a pretty bad keyboard. But it had the same display panel as the early Surface, and an aluminium chassis, and surprisingly good headphone out. Like an idiot I gave it to my stepdaughter when she needed a PC. It lasted about 3 months, which is average for her. I still miss that display panel, it was gorgeous.

I wonder if you had a climbing frame rate because the assets were finally loaded into memory and not being streamed from the SSD. I’m guessing that due to the dual core that sata bus was having an issue getting cpu time.
