I think most of those netbooks came with Windows 7 starter, not pro which I guess was a lighter version of 7. Maybe Windows 10 would actually run faster than 7 even on those netbooks.
If those came from my school they would be beaten to bits, all keycaps removed, back taken apart, RAM stolen, and if it were to boot, probably has like 3 keyloggers and 10 cryptolockers...
A LOT of things are wrong with technology these days if a 1.6Ghz processor is not enough to brows the web. The people who were using SGI machines for the first Jurassic Park movie would have killed for that power. They were using the O2 at the time.
If the N450 and N550 ones have all parts except motherboard identical, you can sell the two N550s and cannibalize the N450 one for parts to boost the N550 one to the max.
should have a look around on SetFSB to see if you can overclock them, I overclocked my old 1.6ghz single core atom to 1.9 ghz and it runs stable enough + notable performance boost - if you are using CoreAVC it should be able to play 720p no problem in a media player like MPC
I bought a x100e and its gets SUPER hot it gets so hot it smells like burning plastic, and this is happening with everyone too. Even the charger gets crazy hot. It had a terrible cooling design. Idk about the x120e tho
I hate that you have to defend your channel choices and whatnot. If your picky subscribers haven't learned that YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF AA COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY, then they never will. You're a very hardworking RUclipsr, imho, always bringing thorough and informative content...THANK YOU MUCH.
+AA Computers and Technology Also please don't forget to check out all the ports for possible damage before you select the laptop you keep. Also testing the webcam and mic would not be a bad idea as well.
+Steven Jeffers I have it bookmarked. I am so backed up as far as videos are concerned I do not know when the next software Sunday will be (probably not this weekend).
I bought something similar recently a Packard Bell Dot SE with the exact same specs and after sticking 2gb ram in it Windows 10 runs just fine. I'm after a cheap SSD next and maybe try 4gb memory?? £24 paid from ebay and its boxed these atom powered netbooks are still out there for cheap.
Nice video. I like your videos because they're closer to the reality (no awesome and super-expensive hardware). Nice birtday present for me. :) Greetings from ITA.
I love me some netbooks. i have a Toshiba with the n455 and an HP with the n450. the HP has the ability to install a Broadcom Video Crystal HD accelerator chip. i ordered one an installed it as well as a Wireless N/Bluetooth module! HOWEVER, i can't seem to get this Chip to work consistently.but that N450 is such a dog even with Win 7 starter. my question is do you have the ability to add the broadcom accelerator to these Dells? i hear that it really helps with media. they are dirt cheap, and connects with an internal mini Pci-e. would make a GREAT video to see if it can be done. LINUX drivers DO exist for the BCM0012 & BCM0015 Crystal HD accelerator.
I love these computers aesthetically but couldn't figure out a use for one these days. My initial idea was to put Windows XP on one and run older games like GTA Vice City or Morrowind, but those integrated graphics are a major bottleneck even for games 5 years older than the computer is. :c
Oh i read wrong.Thank you for your correction.But this model costs minimum 90$ and i think for an lower spec model its to expensive. (sorry for the bad english i'm still student)
Sphinx my English is not great too :) I am from Ukraine where this pc probably will never be found. But this guy is in US + I think he got it with a good auction deal on eBay
Fun fact: In Europe we have too many keyboards to work with in the "flipping/IT helping" trades. Even "Nordic" is not that simple and @ can not always be found easily when registering/reinstalling a Chrome Book or Apple/Mac account/device. In terminal commands it's even worse in many cases where we need to see an UK/US keyboard for finding +. - , | , [] ,() symbols. There is no options to shift keyboard layout in a Linux/DOS recovery procedure unless it's the correct boot disk in that matching keyboard. "Customers" will spend more time looking at a free or inexpensive device as well and demand language specific modifications and won't pay extra for those.
He is also pronouncing things wrong and saying zoobuntu for some reason. He also says Mate wrong and says it with an acute on the e even tho there isn't one and its annoying to hear. Its MATE not MatA
if you want better performance then you should try linux distros like lubuntu , bodhi linux , puppy linux , they are way faster than xubuntu ...or if you want to use windows then you should try tiny7 os , its a slim down version of windows 7 ultimate , i use tiny 7 on my old siemems laptop with intel celeron 1.4 ghz and only 512mb of ram ( sorry for my bad english because its not my native language )
Wow, how is that flash drive still working!?!?! I have one die on me feels like every day good lord. Ugh. Idek why they keep dying on me it is so annoying...
+RogerRHF I try not to associate my eBay store with my RUclips channel. Two are already up though, if you look hard enough you may be able to find them ;)
You should at least upgrade one to windows 10, (but please, after the upgrade, wipe and do a clean install before evaluation).I upgraded a 10 year old Celeron laptop from winXP to windows10 (granted it had 2GB ram) and saw a massive performance increase.Not to mention: upgrading your windows7pro licence now will get you a free windows10pro licence that you can use on that laptop in the future should you want to! (this offer expires June/July!)
nice find on those 3 dells. they look like they are in very good condition from comming from a school. in my school we have loads of Fujitsu lifebook A series laptops with a 3rd gen i3 and hd graphics 4000 and also 4gb of ram. its a shame as the kids in my school get pens and stab holes in the speaker parts to make a hexagon shape. they also rip parts off the lid and also make them look very taty. you should be able to make some money back as they all look like new as you said. i see that they have the 8mb of vram still. which is a pain. i know a website for modded intel graphics drivers i just need to know the chipset of the laptop and i will try and get you a link. as this worked for my old laptop which was a compaq presario cq61 with a celeron t3000 4g ram and gma4000m and my chipset was gl40 and has 64mb of vram. it never ran games well i did a test of a game called driver 3 on max settings on my t410 and the cq61 and the t410 won i then installed it and the gpu on the cq61 was very fast on driver 3 at 40-50 fps but still didnt beat my t410 with hd1000 modded driver. so picking a modded driver up would boost your performance ALOT! and would help if u do some light gaming on it too. great video dude!
I love the netbook form factor, wish companies would still make machines in this form factor, much better than tablets, and much more versatile too, I hate android and ios.
The laptop with windows 7 it sucks.I have an HP Mini 2140 with HDD and Windows 7.Boot time is about 50 minutes.Ram is 1gb and has a lot of lag.If you open RUclips and Facebook tabs in firefox the RUclips is lagging.I will instal Linux and i will take an ssd 120GB.I Love this HP because is very portable and has the features of a windows pc.These machines works well with Windows XP and Linux.If you want Windows 7 took an ssd.Because with HDD are very laggy.
50 seconds...but the worst part is firefox with 2 tabs.RUclips and Facebook.The pc lagging so much.RUclips Sound is lagging,the scrolling is slow. But i install Linux Mint 17.3 and the pc is regenerated.Works very good and has smoothness like Windows XP. I will try Xubuntu if i have a lot of free time because i like the UI(User Inteface).
what the kappa if i search up Dell Latitude 2120 the cheapest thing i can find is 120€ ... if i search on ebay.com the cheapest i can find is 60 $.. why? lol

+1,000 subs One Video No, sorry. Immediate 48 U.S. states only.
+AA Computers and Technology Could you add Canada please?
+AA Computers and Technology Is one of them me??
+AA Computers and Technology i read somewhere the 2120 has touchscreen
I think most of those netbooks came with Windows 7 starter, not pro which I guess was a lighter version of 7. Maybe Windows 10 would actually run faster than 7 even on those netbooks.
sounds like you were yelling
If those came from my school they would be beaten to bits, all keycaps removed, back taken apart, RAM stolen, and if it were to boot, probably has like 3 keyloggers and 10 cryptolockers...
OutLassn do you live in Africa?
Nah fam, I'm in Dubai
OutLassn you kidding me mate? Dubai? WHYEEE ???? Most of people in Dubai are rich though.
LOL you believed him
Lan vs Wan I know he was kidding. If this was Dubai, kids would have MacBooks instead of shitty chromebooks.
keep up the good work man i have been sitting here watching your videos for about an hour now
A LOT of things are wrong with technology these days if a 1.6Ghz processor is not enough to brows the web. The people who were using SGI machines for the first Jurassic Park movie would have killed for that power. They were using the O2 at the time.
If the N450 and N550 ones have all parts except motherboard identical, you can sell the two N550s and cannibalize the N450 one for parts to boost the N550 one to the max.
How do you do it? Like I never find such kinda deals on eBay I would really like to get my self a $30 machine
did you manage yet
should have a look around on SetFSB to see if you can overclock them, I overclocked my old 1.6ghz single core atom to 1.9 ghz and it runs stable enough + notable performance boost - if you are using CoreAVC it should be able to play 720p no problem in a media player like MPC
You may try a Thinkpad X120e. It has a slightly more powerful CPU and two SO-DIMM slots.
I bought a x100e and its gets SUPER hot it gets so hot it smells like burning plastic, and this is happening with everyone too. Even the charger gets crazy hot. It had a terrible cooling design. Idk about the x120e tho
You should do a video on the DELL Latitude E4300.
I hate that you have to defend your channel choices and whatnot. If your picky subscribers haven't learned that YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF AA COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY, then they never will. You're a very hardworking RUclipsr, imho, always bringing thorough and informative content...THANK YOU MUCH.
I don't think the graphics driver was installed on the netbook when you did the windows experience index test.
for PC's like this I'd recommend Peppermint OS. it's very lightweight and comes with chrome preinstalled
+Sean Montebello I have used peppermint before. It's a good little OS!
+AA Computers and Technology It sure is.
What did you end up doing with the one with the n455?
Weird, after 2 years of searching of the 2120 and there's still nothing available to me... Did you guys but them all?
You should charge them all fully and leave them sitting in the BIOS. For the last one to die use that one's battery
+Big Mountain Bob That's a good idea!
+AA Computers and Technology Also please don't forget to check out all the ports for possible damage before you select the laptop you keep. Also testing the webcam and mic would not be a bad idea as well.
+Big Mountain Bob Yup. I have to do all of that before shipping anyway. Thanks for the tips!
Just want to help you out. Love your content. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks!
i have a N455. but it runs at 1.66 GHZ and has 2gb of ram.
You could also try to be a auctioneer in an auction show, you could do well with your auction chant
Are you going to do a software sunday on the OS I referenced soon: neverware OS.
+Steven Jeffers I have it bookmarked. I am so backed up as far as videos are concerned I do not know when the next software Sunday will be (probably not this weekend).
I bought something similar recently a Packard Bell Dot SE with the exact same specs and after sticking 2gb ram in it Windows 10 runs just fine. I'm after a cheap SSD next and maybe try 4gb memory?? £24 paid from ebay and its boxed these atom powered netbooks are still out there for cheap.
Hey Buddy.. Why there are no videos come now a days?
N450 has a slightly beefier heatsink. For whatever reason lol.
I find that video playback is smoother in Firefox on Ubuntu using Flash, not sure why though
Because HTML 5 video is pretty dang heavy compared to running flash.
Montisaquadeis
Flash is awesome to! :D
Nice video. I like your videos because they're closer to the reality (no awesome and super-expensive hardware). Nice birtday present for me. :)
Greetings from ITA.
Maybe if bothered to close all the othet applications you had opened it would've played 720p
but if the display isn't 720p, what's the point?
+NamAim1991 I can't remember the specs of the ones in the video, but there is an 1366x768 screen option for this model.
Ah, that makes sense. I think he mentions early on in the video that these are 1024x600 displays though.
+NamAim1991 It's still almost 720p :d
is it possible to over clock these?
What would you think about a Dell Latitude E4300 with a Core 2 Duo Vpro?
+TruckSimz I am looking for something small, like 11". I think the 2120 is going to be a keeper.
Woah, dual core Atom! I'll probably buy a motherboard for my HP Mini netbook with Atom N550 eventually.
Do you keep these laptops?
I love me some netbooks. i have a Toshiba with the n455 and an HP with the n450. the HP has the ability to install a Broadcom Video Crystal HD accelerator chip. i ordered one an installed it as well as a Wireless N/Bluetooth module! HOWEVER, i can't seem to get this Chip to work consistently.but that N450 is such a dog even with Win 7 starter. my question is do you have the ability to add the broadcom accelerator to these Dells? i hear that it really helps with media. they are dirt cheap, and connects with an internal mini Pci-e. would make a GREAT video to see if it can be done. LINUX drivers DO exist for the BCM0012 & BCM0015 Crystal HD accelerator.
Cluster these laptops, it would be a neat little project
+PentiumProPower That would be neat!
Nice work man, keep it up
I love these computers aesthetically but couldn't figure out a use for one these days. My initial idea was to put Windows XP on one and run older games like GTA Vice City or Morrowind, but those integrated graphics are a major bottleneck even for games 5 years older than the computer is. :c
I used to have one with 1366x768 resolution monitor.
How bro please
theese laptops cost 140$+ in germany :/
Sphinx new ones. This a good deal from eBay
Oh i read wrong.Thank you for your correction.But this model costs minimum 90$ and i think for an lower spec model its to expensive. (sorry for the bad english i'm still student)

How do u host a website??
What linux distro have you installed?
Probably Ubuntu.
Xubuntu is what he said int he video
yeah... he speaks quite fast and i didn't understood
He is also pronouncing things wrong and saying zoobuntu for some reason. He also says Mate wrong and says it with an acute on the e even tho there isn't one and its annoying to hear. Its MATE not MatA
ahhh i've understood zoobuntu too
OH! You Didn't Put That Little Strip On The Product Key That Other Netbook Came With! So You Blur It Out! D: 7:33
But I Have A Legit Number Of Windows 7 Keys Anyway! :)
How much it costs??
I'd recommend putting Windows 10 on one of them to test how that runs.
+EvilTurkeySlices Probably terribly slow
Glacy id guess it's fast. Windows 10 on a Pentium 4 is fast.
***** But look at Windows 7. It wouldn't exactly be good using Windows 10 on that screen
Glacy Windows 10 is much faster than 7.
***** I know that, but the Atom N550 would be equal to a P4 with Hyperthreading.
if you want better performance then you should try linux distros like lubuntu , bodhi linux , puppy linux , they are way faster than xubuntu ...or if you want to use windows then you should try tiny7 os , its a slim down version of windows 7 ultimate , i use tiny 7 on my old siemems laptop with intel celeron 1.4 ghz and only 512mb of ram ( sorry for my bad english because its not my native language )
Wow, how is that flash drive still working!?!?! I have one die on me feels like every day good lord. Ugh. Idek why they keep dying on me it is so annoying...
Dear god... I remember using these slow things at my kindergarten. It couldn't even open up chrome..
combine all of the laptops to make a actually perfect one
+skulldriver101 They were all pretty much perfect already :p. I did swap some batteries though.
ok. i made that comment before i got to the part of the video where they were all perfect.
Why didn't you upgrade the RAM? You got 4 laptops, why not take the ram from one of them and put it in the one you showed in the video?
Windows 7 Starter supports only 2 GB of ram.
AeroWolfz ah, i didn't know that.
Atoms also only support 2gb of ram also as far as I've ever encountered.
what do you do with these laptops you get.
Game Addict resell
yeah these are nice. much better than my Acer with the N450
1 GB of DDR3?
You are going to sell the other ones on eBay? BTW nice video :)
+RogerRHF Yup. Trying to make some money for the channel (and myself :p ). Thanks!
+AA Computers and Technology What is your eBay username? Maybe I might be tempted enough to buy one once it's available.
+RogerRHF I try not to associate my eBay store with my RUclips channel. Two are already up though, if you look hard enough you may be able to find them ;)
+AA Computers and Technology Any hints? :)
I can't sorry :p
Ya that is a much better performance then the other one.
+Anthrit Yup, I totally agree!
I think it would be better if you put the b-roll shots at the beginning
But will it run crysis
You should at least upgrade one to windows 10, (but please, after the upgrade, wipe and do a clean install before evaluation).I upgraded a 10 year old Celeron laptop from winXP to windows10 (granted it had 2GB ram) and saw a massive performance increase.Not to mention: upgrading your windows7pro licence now will get you a free windows10pro licence that you can use on that laptop in the future should you want to! (this offer expires June/July!)
Can w play with it ?
Yeah with dual core they (atoms) would become quite usable
IS EBAY LAPTOP GOOD

Should have installed the Chrome OS.
hey, brother am from India. So how can i get those amazing deals?plz help me to get .
my use dell xt tablet windows 10 and ddr2 3g 800mhz 100hdd is very fast. DELL IS FANTASTIC
why dont u keep windows on it?
To resource needy on only 1GB of ram
Dude. Beautiful fucking deal! If I had 3 of these I'd keep them for software testbeds, no joke! Great channel tbh
Sweet deal dude! Too bad in Belgium the only thing you can buy for 40€ are broken xp laptops 😒
como hago para comprar
I love the netbook form factor, wish companies would still make machines in this form factor, much better than tablets, and much more versatile too, I hate android and ios.
You can get a chromebook with the smaller size screen if you want. You can even isntall linux on them if you need a full os instead of chromeos
if you have some random q6600 or q8300 send me them :) im making some budget builds for shiggles and they need one of those to run half arsed
How much maximum ram does this laptop support
I was thinking to upgrade to 8gb
I ordered a x230t on ebay I hope to be lucky with its condition :D
make vid about thinkpad.
wow you changed!
Windows XP is the Best unsupported OS for netbooks..
think im gonna put xp on mine
I want one!
its low end hardware nigga you gotta install hanna montana linux
Linux is about the only OS that is real good for Netbooks these days!
like your videos bro! and leave some good deals for us ahah

My school had these ones but when they got "new" computers they gave us permision to destroy them
omg did you destroyed one ?
Yeah
If we didn't do it they would because of something with the hardrives
The CPU has ...

WTF My shitty atom n455 with 1gb of ram just run windows 7 ok, and your dualcore atom can't run windows 7? There is something wrong there!
ship one laptop to me bruh need it!
Buy your own cheap ass
The laptop with windows 7 it sucks.I have an HP Mini 2140 with HDD and Windows 7.Boot time is about 50 minutes.Ram is 1gb and has a lot of lag.If you open RUclips and Facebook tabs in firefox the RUclips is lagging.I will instal Linux and i will take an ssd 120GB.I Love this HP because is very portable and has the features of a windows pc.These machines works well with Windows XP and Linux.If you want Windows 7 took an ssd.Because with HDD are very laggy.
+Dj Nikolas 50 minutes? Really?
50 seconds...but the worst part is firefox with 2 tabs.RUclips and Facebook.The pc lagging so much.RUclips Sound is lagging,the scrolling is slow.
But i install Linux Mint 17.3 and the pc is regenerated.Works very good and has smoothness like Windows XP.
I will try Xubuntu if i have a lot of free time because i like the UI(User Inteface).
my school has a ton of them they suck XD
Optimise windows 7 then it will use less than 512mb ram.
How would one do that?
Reduce the amount of running programs.
+the3dvideo Yeah well anyone could do that. But I wouldn't think it'd go down to 512MB of RAM usage
depends what version you use and setting,
I have not tested any modified versions.
it can run windows 7 starter
INSTALL WINDOWS FFS
I've suds
what the kappa
if i search up Dell Latitude 2120 the cheapest thing i can find is 120€ ...
if i search on ebay.com the cheapest i can find is 60 $..
