Dont let the schools see this Pinktop
-
Imagine being the guys that engineered and built this thing and then you see your product on Linus Tech Tips
-
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.
-
12:41 "Window 10" in comic sans is crazy
-
I love that Labs gets to write out a result as "piss poor". That's the level of clarity we deserve in every review.
-
Now I want to see Linus upgrade that thing with additional ram, and a m.2 drive. The soldering alone is worth a video.
-
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!
-
"I don't think I've seen bezels this big............."
-
Finally, a budget gaming PC I can actually add to my collections.
-
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.
-
I bought a similar one (I think it was around 180$) when I started studying. I had a full blown PC at home, I just wanted to take basic comments during lectures or write a word document in the lab. Perfectly servicable for that. It also came with an additional M2 slot
-
I'd be curious to see how this would do with a lightweight linux distro.
-
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.
-
I would be genuinely curious to see what LTT can achieve if they designed their own branded $200 laptop.
-
I was looking youtube on how to (try to) fix my computer 2 days ago and YT just recommended me this. As an aspiring (french) writer, im actually really considering this pinktop. Thanks guys! You saved me months of pain waiting to afford a new laptop
-
It would be fun to see if getting cheap SSD (for like $3 from AliExpress as well) and installing Chrome OS Flex improves anything! I did that to my old (~2012) laptop and it flies. Browsing the web is awesome, playing videos is awesome too, and it does not get hot compared to what it did on Windows 10. If only it had a better screen...
-
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 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
-
searching "desync" on comment finder gives only results from the past 6 hours, so yyeah youtube messed up the audio around 10:17 —probably after they used YT Studio to cut out the sudden LTTStore promo, which I assume after 5 days of upload they realized was dropping retention rate and not a great idea ironically dropping it even more if not ever fixed ツ
-
I got this last year. Came with an Office license and Windows 11, used strictly for business on-the-go. Not a gaming rig but does basic needs. Perfect.
