Reminds me of my Lenovo 100e, those were selling for $99 in 2019. Wasn't fast but it sure did the job and survived everything. Sat in a car for 8 months through both summer and winter, got thrown around, went with me on several road trips and plane rides, got dropped pretty hard from a good height. Only broke when someone ran it over with a car 3 years after I got it. Can't really complain for $99

Lenovo's Thought-Pad laptops (Thinkpad, Ideapad, etc.) are great machines though they always seem to lack in certain areas and excel in others, most of the time it's budget CPU and GPU options for obvious reasons assorted in with great features like the keyboard or camera quality. The Thought-pads that are equipped with something like a Duo Core or Celeron and running integrated graphics are usable but I wish that basic models just had a little more to offer sometimes.

@@naxzed_it Yes, I agree although I've never used an IdeaPad to find out, I simply believed Lenovo kept the fundamentals of various ThinkPad models in spirit. I can also imagine that Lenovo takes the basic models more seriously since 2017. My thoughts from earlier were made by experience with used Brickpads built 2015 or older, I suppose it's safe to assume that older basic models don't have much offer anyways unless it had a faster processor, such as an i5 or i7.

Lenovo have by far the best build quality for the price, got an ideapad in 2019 for around £300 that was solid metal. You never find that at that price point! Dell and Lenovo are definitely the best in the field. They've had a long run of it I guess 😅
I have a slightly older Celeron-based Lenovo Chromebook very similar to this. One of the first things I did was set up the built-in linux VM and get Shovel Knight running in Steam. It was 100% playable, which might not SOUND impressive, but you have to remember that it's a 2D game using cleverly hidden 3D assets. I'm amazed that it even launched in that environment. On top of that, it had 4k60hz video out over USB-C on BOTH PORTS. Find the right chromebook and you have yourself a very capable little box for light tinkering, media playback and probably even linux server applications. Not a bad alternative to a raspberry pi considering their current asking price.

As you can get a refurbished (condition good to even as good as new if you hunt) ThinkPad T470 with a i5-7400u, 8gb DDR4 RAM, 14 inch Full HD matt screen, 256gb NVMe SSD, a battery life of about 3-4 hours browsing and you get the ThinkPad experience of good amount of ports, a hot swappable battery (for 70-90$ you can easily get another 6-8 hours), good upgrade ability and the nice mouse knob thingy for typing without any interuption.

I keep a cheap used Asus Chromebook I got like 5 years ago for nothing because it needed a battery (which actually was more expensive than expected).

It more than paid for itself after an airport flight mishap and I needed to find another flight asap in the terminal. Never could have done that on a phone- AND the battery life is phenomenal I guess because the CPU/iGPU so weak? Is it possible to install Linux on that and then Steam?

I was able to score a 17" Chromebook for about $100 from Best Buy on a liquidation sale. It's not bad for the money.
For about 3 years back when I was in high school, I used a 2GB ram 16GB emmc intel chromebook as my main device. Stuck Ubuntu on it and used to play counterstrike source all the time. If you get an intel model and take Chromeos off they make great netbooks.
You can force most chromebooks to run linux, and they are surprisingly capable after that, though I've not tried linux on arm other than a raspberry pi.
I was slightly disappointed that you didn't try running Crysis on it, that would have been a useful benchmark.
I've been using Lenovos for about 10 years. I love them. The keyboards are fantastic, build quality is good, and they last forever. I still fire up my 2400 dollar think pad from 2014 sometimes and it honestly still works just fine.

Mine isn't. It is an L470 from 2018 and worked fine until the keyboard went haywire and does odd things. Keys like caps and alt work on and off among other things. I have spent hours on proposed solutions offered and on updating everything I could think of. All to no avail.
I have a a 'convertable'? thingy too, it did cost me 170 EUR (incl. all taxes) and runs Win10Pro, touchscreen, 128GB 'ssd' and has Intel N6000 which is actually useable. Only downside it's limited by 4GB RAM. With 8GB I would consider using it. It's roughed and for the size 11"? Screen it feels heavy, has 2 USB-A, 1 USB-C, full HDMI and LAN io though. Its for some relatives and should work for them fine.
I got a Chromebook a long time ago and recently dug it out and I kind of like the feel of the keys. It’s kind of satisfying to type on.
One of the older variants of this made a MEAN Linux machine for some developers I know a few years back. If you're the type of weird who writes low-level hardware code and compiles stuff on servers... you can get insane battery life out of these on an extremely lightweight custom install!
I dont recall seeing it in the video, this is a Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, Best Buy near me has them for $119, marked down from $179. Not a bad deal, but the screen resolution is 1366 x 768 (HD), not ideal, but at this price who cares?? Would be fine for watching Dawid videos, but I cannot imagine trying to do any gaming on this. Would be a real steal if it had a 1080 display.

My old laptop bricked so I sold it for parts and bought a X220 ThinkPad for £80, having 8gb of ram and a 128 GB SSD, it's quick! It's been many months and I've felt almost no need to upgrade from my "temporary solution", only upgrading the battery and adding a double-usb 3.0 express card (though the fact these are possible are advantages in themselves for a modern laptop!)
Never thought about running a benchmark on the Chromebook. I have a Acer 314 with the same SoC. Running the benchmark sees slightly higher scores. Mainly in the CPU physics scores. In the GPU part of the test the CPU hardly gets above idle. The temperature went from 20°c to 22°c. GForce Now probably runs well as the CPU performance is not to bad. It's the Mali-G72 MP3 that seems to be letting the side down. Petty they couldn't have added the MP18 varient in. It's was 3 years old by this point so no development costs really. Yes there would be a little extra chip costs and definitely power usage would be up but it's a Chromebook so nobody cares. Ps. If you are traveling with your Chromebook and can charge it while it's off then leave the bulky charger at home and just use a standard phone charger.
The chip used in the laptop is in fact by Mediatek, who have been existed for a while on laptops now, mostly Chromebook

They have had some screaming deals. I got my father a 15.6" CB from BB during Back to School sales and it is great. $129 and runs like a champ for the basics that he does. I then stepped up for a slightly better one with more ram, more storage and a 17.3" screen and it is great. Enabled linux, threw on VS Code, Thonny, and Geany for playing with front end dev as well as python and it works great too. That did cost me a whopping $189 down from $389 regular price. Chromebooks are so great for most people and, less you are AAA gaming, likely all people less you need some specific app that won't run under a windows VM or doesn't have a linux version. That one has too small of a screen for my use but it I was just road dogging it and needed to check in now and then with emails or update a spreadsheet or bang out a document, that would be pretty solid option for sure. If someone was just a chrome user and does everything in chrome, they are the best machines. Lose it or it breaks simply go to Walmart, Best Buy, etc. buy another one turn it on, log in and within a few moments it will be setup just like the one that you just lost or broke. No trying to find install disks or some install file for a program you used. No settings to try to remember from your previous machine, etc. They all come over - part of the reason that I got my dad one. Plus, if have a Windows, Mac, or Linux machine at home or in the office that you need to access for a program or work related emails that you don't forward you can use the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Works great and even when a machine at home gets reset from a forced windows update when you aren't home the Chrome RDT survives a full reset or power down and power up cycle. When you connect after a situation like that you just start off at the standard Windows Login screen (assume Mac and Linux are this way too). If you have your home or office PC's bios set to power back on after a power outage then you will never be without your other tools on your other computers. I've used my CB to tunnel into my home machine for 3D CAD work, coding, etc. Just great tools and not really much you can do on them, especially with linux enabled. Well, that and don't quite go as low-end as this one if you want to play around with gaming or heavy programs in linux. But if you just need media access and emails or to connect to a home or office machine via remote connection - great way to go.

Man, I love these types of videos 😂 haven't watched yet- but I know it's gunna be good Dawid style 👌 edit: I mean it's cheaper and runs emulators better than my £300 2015 macbook air I used for uni 😂 Gefore now is definitely the crutch for for chromebooks- which is great! :D (it would chug on that macbook air 😂)
i am considering investing in one of these as a replacement for my aging Samsung tablet that is mostly just an e-reader and media device anyways. the convertible feature of this and the 4gb of ram at that price, there isn't a reputable brand putting out a tablet remotely as good at that price point, that's what i am sold on.
I'd like to see how well steam streaming and RuneScape run on the little Chromebook
The fact that this thing is just $99 makes you wonder about smartphone prices these days.

The best thing about this, is your awesome music track at the end. Where did you get that?
The cool thing with these cheap arm based machines is that they handle video codecs very well, which can't be said for most cheap x86 processors. So for that alone it is a very interesting product for basically no money. But 3x basically no money gets you a Laptop with Windows 10, upgradeabe 256gb SSD, upgradeable 8gb of ram, 15.5'' IPS display and a 5500U, which will hold up much longer and is much better to use out of the box. No touchscreen though
What kind of laptop is that
I would highly recommend Tower of Fantasy as a game worth testing with, open world, flashy effects... should be more intensive for testing. Btw love you.
They gave these out in university at one point, but the tablet version with a detachable keyboard. Hated these. but it was fun trying.
I have a Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook and I love it. I also have a Lenovo ideapad PC with a DVD drive, it’s a little slow and I’m gonna upgrade the hard drive to a SSD, I was about to order the Lenovo M10+ tablet but I saw some reviews that there were problems with it freezing up. Well, I can say that their Chromebooks are pretty decent.
Bestbuy does have a windows 10 HP laptop for $99 as well. Has the same specs (4Gb ram and 64gb emmc). It comes with windows 11 S, but can be switch to non s version easily. I bought one, a couple months ago. Not for gaming (unfortunately), but for work. It is decent.

Yo dawid have you been starving yourself lately? You looking healthier. Keep it up!
Tamper evident tape is designed to leave a mark on what its put on in a way that it cannot be easily opened without perminantly marking the tape that was used.
if you remove the rubber feet, i'm sure there are some screws under like in the HP pc
I think if you can install Linux on it, you can consider it a laptop. Linux has box86 or (box64 if needed), you might be able to get some pc games running on it. Some work on raspberry pi.

I bought a 1070Ti and a Vega 64 for a combined price of 250€ Both are in good condition and the previous owner attached a Raijintek heatsink on the Vega 64. Good cards for little money but that power usage is pretty high.

That is legit the laptop my school gives out to students. I have it in my backpack now lmao. The think kinda sucks but for school it's not horrible.

I mean, yeah they both have ARM CPUs. But comparing this low-end media tech chip to Apples ARM silicon offerings is like saying a 98 Honda Civic end of Bugatti Veyron are the same because they're both cars.

@@megan_alnico true but also not true, those Apple chips don't cost that much more to produce. Man thinking about, since they no longer need to kickback to intel but still sell for the same prices their margins went from ridiculous to stupendous, there is a harry potter joke in there somewhere but you get the gist
Chromebooks are phones with bigger screens and a keyboard. Would never call any chromebook a laptop lol
Could you do a video with standard android and see if there are any performances differences or incompatibilities?

I used a chromebook for a long time, and it was mainly for school work and stuff. It works so well that I consider that laptop to be a better laptop than the other laptops I've seen and used, not just for the price, but it's capabilty.
