@Sonic Mobian I didn't say you need super computer to run Windows. But essentially all CPUs since Nehalem are powerful as phuck. Trying to use Win 10 on laptops meant for WinXP and you can't do shit. There are millions and millions of working computers discarded every year that could run all the common tasks on Linux perfectly. The point here is that Windows 10 sucks. I get that people who have just used Windows really don't get why it sucks. If you don't have experience with OS that you have full control over, then Win10 might seem like a decent OS. Though I hate it's look and user interface in general. I have decade old core i7 laptop that had Nvidia GPU that broke. Now I run my Linux just with the iGPU. It works for everything but gaming and GPU acceleration. I would hope more people migrated to Linux, or at least gave it a good long try, as you need some time to get why it's so good, at first it might be really intimidating and many aspects might seem like stupid, when those are the best ways to do things. Linux is build from up to thousands of individual open source packages, and each of those have their developers. As all are open source, things evolve as any great solutions gets copied or forked. So the solutions usually are the best possible ones. But coming from another OS, it might be hard to see why those are the best choices. I hate the fact that proprietary software is not mine. I'm just renting it, not knowing what the code does, not allowing to change, patch or improve it myself. That makes the user the product, and is the reason why spying, data collecting etc. has become so prevalent. But I guess choice is what matters, and that people are happy with their software and hardware.

Never put anything other than the OS on the eMMC storage, put a 128gb C10 (U3) A2 micro SD card for everything you want to want to put on the computer. Slowdown will be minimal.
Emmc really is slow. I tried copying files from a 2008 5400rpm hard drive and it only had a transfer speed of 10 MBps when the hard drive can reach 40 MBps.
@Sam S You're not supposed to save stuff on the Chromebook, man. You're supposed to save it in Google Drive and Google Photos. It's not meant to be offline. If you want to save stuff offline, get a real laptop... or a USB drive/SD card.
@Sam S Google Drive isn't for videos. That's what Google Photos is for. For music you have Google Play Music (which is currently transitioning to RUclips Music) and you get 50,000 songs from your personal music collection stored there for free. You need better file management if you can't fit your documents in Google Drive (which has unlimited storage for Google doc filetypes). You also might want to clean up your Gmail because that takes part of your 15GB of free storage, too.
@Sam S "It's constant renewel of services that prevent u from using your current services by charging u $ to keep using your stuff." lolwut? I used Windows for decades and never fell into a subscription trap like that. Then again, I switched to Linux Mint a year or two after Windows 10 came out, but still. There are tons of free alternatives to subscription services. The only subscriptions I pay for are Amazon Prime (which is a great deal) and Xbox Live. I know some people are ransomed by Apple to keep using Icloud's extended storage, but I'm not one of those Apple twits. It sounds like you just click on the wrong things and don't know how to use adblockers or browse the web safely.

@@enderman776 Lmao, Ubuntu sucks ass, slow as hell. Better install Debian or Arch with XFCE, or better, compile your own stuff to make it even way faster.
@@8w73 Ubuntu sucks, but I think it's one of the best for people who don't know anything about linux and terminal or people who just want to use it as homework machine.
I think that with linux installed (imo debian or arch for these) they would run a lot smoother. I install debian on most laptops in my house, such as a late 2011 imac and a gen 2 thinkpad X1 carbon and they all perform way better than when they were running windows
It seems a lot of the limitations of these laptops are due to Windows 10. Two gigs of memory is Windows 7 territory, and with only 32 gigs of storage Windows is gonna eat most of that too. It would be really interesting to see a lightweight Linux distro like Manjaro LXQt or Openbox on the blue laptop. It would probably be a pretty sweet machine like that.
Yeah, I agree. For the silver one Fedora or Mint will make run like a charm. About the specs , I'm not sure. I used have a chinese tablet (Chuwi Hi10) windows 10 (Atom 2 core hyper , with 4 gig ram and 64gb flash). It run great. I used to use it in uni(2013-2015) and it did everyhing. Watching videos , some old games (Heroes 3 run great) and helped quite a lot with the uni stuff. I used it to correct/mod presantations , course works ext. The best part - only 150 USD.
Kinda late, but I concur. I recently repurposed a $150 shitbox for a writer friend of mine that had 32 gigs of flash storage. EndavourOS works like a charm for his Google-docs-only use 🤣
honestly i reckon it would struggle with linux as well lol, at least with kde or gnome. its probably not gonna run well on anything other than a really basic tiling window manager where everything is terminal based
That Celeron with a proper ssd is usable in Ubuntu. I run one last year as a student in electrical engineering. I did all my programming exercise on it. I couldn't stand it though because even compiling small c files (100 lines max) took over a second.... However it could handle up to 10 tabs in chrome plus sublime. But only one RUclips tab and only messenger and not FB tab.
I have a Celeorn N3450 based laptop with 4gb of ram and a 14" 1080p screen with 32gb of emmc storage and it runs Linux and even ChromeOS fine. Got ChromeOS by doing this ruclips.net/video/ROBpXNonVxc/видео.html
@@Montisaquadeis You could run CloudReady instead, it's a lot easier to install and is meant for random PCs, unlike ChromeOS - which could fail anytime a new update comes out and blocks non licensed devices.
The best glitch yet: right click on the desktop and hover over NEW, as in where you can open a new document or whatever. The menu takes at least 6 seconds to load. Mind-blowing.
A lightweight Linux install on those machines would make way more sense than Windows, given that a fresh Windows 10 install takes about 12 GB to 25 GB of storage there will not be much left of the 32GB that those machines ships with
@@4450krank the Linux kernel it self is very ram efficient, however some desktop environment and other user-land applications that are necessary for a working laptop might not be.

Thomas i can pass 12 volts 30 amps through my left and right hands. but i can't pass 220V at 0.3A?? hmm i wonder why. also, why do warning signs say "warning : high voltage" instead of "warning : high current"? it helps to read or watch people who actually have experience in the matter. though it's neither just either the volts or the amps by themselves, it's the available power and the exposure time. and remember, if there's no current (the actual flow of electricity), there's no voltage. if there's no voltage, then what the hell is flowing? edit : it helps to read about*
@@COBRO98 Wrong. Electricity is dangerous, trying to split it up in terms of high voltage or high current will only confuse people (putting them at greater risk). AC is more dangerous than DC though.

@@Speedycat A T420 would be quite an upgrade in every way. AFAIK that was the first ThinkPad with 24 hours rated battery life (with extended batteries of course).
That was very nice displays of those machines and awesome laptops and very good job to you Linus, on making this video. I hope that you will continue to make good videos about any laptops or gaming stuff around this time.
I dont see either of them being anyone's daily driver even if all they did was word and excel. The blue one would work as a secondary for those purposes only. That gray one is just trash.
I have the exact cpu (as the blue one) and the same amount of ram but a 1 terabyte hard drive and I am daily driving it (mine is an acer aspire 3 model) I even got dolphin to run at 60fps on it (single player as multiplayer is hard on my wifi).
Neither item is particularly good and 32GB is a bit lacking, but it does work for Windows 10, just not particularly well, I have a couple old Intel Atom tablets I got back in the Windows 8 and 8.1 days and they still work with Windows 10, but then again I don't stress them much with just light browsing and media consumption
Exactly. These POS are useless. You can't even update the damn thing if you have Office installed on them. The markets are flooded with these shitty laptops with 32gb EMMCs and I hate it when a friend or family comes to me asking why they can't install their programs. Apparently, part of their sales are due to the usual store reps lying to the customers saying you can expand the storage with a MicroSD. You can't install programs on a MicroSD natively, and Windows itself will refuse to use it as anything else than removable media. That means no apps, updates, or program files.
Pop! and Ubuntu proper are too heavy for this due to Gnome 3 chewing a LOT of RAM. Xubuntu or Fedora XFCE are both a better option. Even Lubuntu might be better, for minimum RAM use.
I got one of those EVOO gaming laptops over the summer just as a cheap gaming laptop to play older games with and it's mostly fine. Major gripes are the touchpad, a graphics driver causing windows to crash when not playing games (not sure who to blame for that) and some annoying audio software which I am afraid to remove, lol. Edit: Also the camera being at the bottom of the screen is so unbelievably stupid!

Remember, these speeds will slow down 2x to 10x over time. And those "ssd" drives are emmc style which are often as slow or slower than a hdd.
Never put anything other than the OS on the eMMC storage, put a 128gb C10 (U3) A2 micro SD card for everything you want to want to put on the computer. Slowdown will be minimal.
Emmc really is slow. I tried copying files from a 2008 5400rpm hard drive and it only had a transfer speed of 10 MBps when the hard drive can reach 40 MBps.
@Sam S You're not supposed to save stuff on the Chromebook, man. You're supposed to save it in Google Drive and Google Photos. It's not meant to be offline.
If you want to save stuff offline, get a real laptop... or a USB drive/SD card.
@Sam S Google Drive isn't for videos. That's what Google Photos is for. For music you have Google Play Music (which is currently transitioning to RUclips Music) and you get 50,000 songs from your personal music collection stored there for free.
You need better file management if you can't fit your documents in Google Drive (which has unlimited storage for Google doc filetypes). You also might want to clean up your Gmail because that takes part of your 15GB of free storage, too.
@Sam S "It's constant renewel of services that prevent u from using your current services by charging u $ to keep using your stuff."

This would be interesting to see how they perform with Linux, that might be a good option for these laptops.
I mean, even win 7 would perform much better
Peppermint OS would be a good distro for this
Ubuntu would be good
@@enderman776 Lmao, Ubuntu sucks ass, slow as hell. Better install Debian or Arch with XFCE, or better, compile your own stuff to make it even way faster.
@@8w73 Ubuntu sucks, but I think it's one of the best for people who don't know anything about linux and terminal or people who just want to use it as homework machine.
I think that with linux installed (imo debian or arch for these) they would run a lot smoother. I install debian on most laptops in my house, such as a late 2011 imac and a gen 2 thinkpad X1 carbon and they all perform way better than when they were running windows
It seems a lot of the limitations of these laptops are due to Windows 10. Two gigs of memory is Windows 7 territory, and with only 32 gigs of storage Windows is gonna eat most of that too. It would be really interesting to see a lightweight Linux distro like Manjaro LXQt or Openbox on the blue laptop. It would probably be a pretty sweet machine like that.
Yeah, I agree. For the silver one Fedora or Mint will make run like a charm. About the specs , I'm not sure. I used have a chinese tablet (Chuwi Hi10) windows 10 (Atom 2 core hyper , with 4 gig ram and 64gb flash). It run great. I used to use it in uni(2013-2015) and it did everyhing. Watching videos , some old games (Heroes 3 run great) and helped quite a lot with the uni stuff. I used it to correct/mod presantations , course works ext. The best part - only 150 USD.
Kinda late, but I concur. I recently repurposed a $150 shitbox for a writer friend of mine that had 32 gigs of flash storage. EndavourOS works like a charm for his Google-docs-only use 🤣
itsfunny cause the whole selling point of these is that they come with a free windows 10 license lol
True or windows 8.1
honestly i reckon it would struggle with linux as well lol, at least with kde or gnome. its probably not gonna run well on anything other than a really basic tiling window manager where everything is terminal based

Without a doubt
Antony should do a Linux install in these cheap laptops and show how usable them are when
That Celeron with a proper ssd is usable in Ubuntu. I run one last year as a student in electrical engineering. I did all my programming exercise on it. I couldn't stand it though because even compiling small c files (100 lines max) took over a second.... However it could handle up to 10 tabs in chrome plus sublime. But only one RUclips tab and only messenger and not FB tab.
they will work great. I've similar things in the past. He doesn't need Anthony, as just about anyone could install Ubuntu or Mint...dirt simple.
A usb hard drive is the only viable storage solution for long term use with emmc laptops

I dont see either of them being anyone's daily driver even if all they did was word and excel. The blue one would work as a secondary for those purposes only. That gray one is just trash.

Neither item is particularly good and 32GB is a bit lacking, but it does work for Windows 10, just not particularly well, I have a couple old Intel Atom tablets I got back in the Windows 8 and 8.1 days and they still work with Windows 10, but then again I don't stress them much with just light browsing and media consumption
So... They do what a Chromebook does with worse build quality.
Exactly. These POS are useless. You can't even update the damn thing if you have Office installed on them. The markets are flooded with these shitty laptops with 32gb EMMCs and I hate it when a friend or family comes to me asking why they can't install their programs. Apparently, part of their sales are due to the usual store reps lying to the customers saying you can expand the storage with a MicroSD. You can't install programs on a MicroSD natively, and Windows itself will refuse to use it as anything else than removable media. That means no apps, updates, or program files.
