One-Netbook One Mix 4 Review 10.1" Convertible Laptop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Lisa Gade reviews the One-Netbook One Mix 4, also called the One-Netbook 4, a surprisingly good 10.1” Windows 10 laptop with 360 degree hinges, touch and pen support. At 769g, the laptop is easy to carry anywhere and the 10.1” screen is just big enough to not drive you crazy. This is a fairly premium computer with a CNC aluminum casing, Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core i5 and i7 CPUs, Intel Iris Xe graphics and 8 or 16GB dual channel RAM. It has an M.2 SSD, and a QHD+ display with 16:10 aspect ratio. It has Wi-Fi 6, Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4, a microSD card slot and a backlit keyboard. This is the product page: www.1netbook.c... .
10" laptops used to come with atom processors years ago, this one is a small beast
The thing is Android tablets and iPads are too good now days with ARM processor and much better battery life.
Back then, there was really no good portable devices.
Back then, they used to cost $400 for a single-core CPU and 3GB of RAM
Well, to be fair though, at least the build quality of those netbooks was better than what $400 can get you today
(Speaking from experience)
@@cachem11 This is far superior to an iPad or Android device.
i miss when the vast majority of windows oems used to make 11 inch ultrabooks with core i5 and core i7 processors
@@kentatakao6863 You can get a 13 inch ultrabook that has similar dimensions and weights as a 11inch laptop used to have. XPS 13, Yoga 13s, just name a few. The screen bezels are much thinner now days.
Lisa, your shirt is fabulous !!! 💙
This is exactly the type of device that make me want to see PC manufacturers take Arm seriously. A 6W ARM chip would make it feel plenty snappy while also fitting in the thermal package and getting excellent battery life.
I wish Microsoft could make Windows 10 fully support ARM,just like x86.
Yeah. Add a webcam and 4/5G and i will eat it like candy.
you can buy iPad Pro + keyboard case, or MacBook Air
@@allansh828 I love my iPad Pro but sometimes a computer running a desktop version of an operating system is just better. If you really need windows, then an iPad cannot replace a PC. I also have an M1 MacBook Air. It is a fantastic laptop but only runs Mac OS natively. Some people want something extremely portable that runs windows natively. For them, an ARM version of this 10" laptop would be great.
unfortunately the only way I can see that happening anytime soon would be if Microsoft goes the same way as apple and builds in a properly configured x86 emulator into their ARM builds - until that happens, along with a commitment to putting a lot of resources into supporting ARM and making it a smooth experience, there's just going to be a slow crawl towards it, years and years from now we might have enough assorted developer support to have it make sense. maybe.
Glad to see this getting the coverage it deserves. It's an amazing machine, and makes the Surface Go 2 look like an utter joke. For $200 more you can get this with an i5, multiple USB 4.0 ports, double the storage, *upgradable* storage at that, external GPU support and a cooler to keep it from throttling like the Go.
I bought this machine from the manufacture directly through Taobao, the i5 version cost ~$1060 including ~$60 tax. I just cannot think of a reason to buy surface go.
It makes the Surface Go 3 a bigger joke. Sorry Microsoft, I used to buy every surface (non-pro) you released but the recent SG2 and SG3 are disgraceful upgrades that hardly intetested me.
@@paladinzzy 100%. Go 3 had months to build off of this and instead it came out with more outdated and weaker specs.
@@paladinzzy Bro, I am in a position to choose between this and SG3. You have tried both right? What about the experience? Found any hiccup while using this product?
That’s a great shirt Lisa. Always a very entertaining and thorough review.
somehow it has become a habit to watch this to fall asleep. It's just well done and somehow strangely calming in a positive way
@@brandonchutt312 you could assume that with a negative connotation, or that it's consistently well done so you know what to expect, and usually carries and ends on a positive tone. Either way I expect it to work for people ;)
@@polentaonthefloor it's a bit ambiguous what you write
OMG! Thats really the cleanest UMPC notebook ever! Rather than GPD Pocket 2 devices with that ugly upside-down USB-A port. I was sold on their new GPD Pocket 2 Max but I think I'll go for One Netbook One Mix 4. Still going to keep my original GPD Pocket for novelty.
I know it's not the point of your great tech reviews (watching you for years and definitely consider you to be one of the best) but today I got to say it, love your shirts!
If you come from an era of EEEpcs, and Sony Viao P (8") netbooks, you will 100% want this one. This is THE ONE laptop all manufacturers wanted to make but were not able to (due to hardware limitations) back in the days.
Got one recently, there's some issues I've found that people looking to buy it should be aware of:
1) My main gripe as a pen enthusiast is that they seem to have implemented a kind of brute force palm rejection - essentially totally turning off the touch input when the pen is near the screen, and having a huge delay of several seconds after the pen is removed to reactivate touch. Normally it shouldn't be a problem to have simultaneous touch and pen input (as artists are used to move the canvas with one hand and using the pen with the other), the touch reactivation delay really hurts the pen experience. Palm rejection usually does not need to be implemented in this brute force way.
2) While on the topic of tablet mode: sometimes in relatively rare cases the keyboard does not get deactivated when flipping over to tablet mode. But the touchpad never gets automatically deactivated when flipping over to tablet mode (meaning you can still move the mouse cursor when the touchpad is at the back of the device. There is a hotkey to deactivate the touchpad, but this really should be automatic.
3) While the Tiger Lake CPU should have an integrated TPM chip, it's not activated and there is no option to do so in the BIOS. As Windows 11 looks like requiring TPM, currently this device is not Windows 11 ready. I would probably wait with purchasing until One-Netbook resolves this problem (I wrote to them and they said they are working on a soluation, probably a BIOS update?).
4) The keyboard tactility is not excellent like it was on the previous model, the One Mix 3. The keys need to be hit dead center to register, and are kind of mushy (like, they kind of wobble around the tactile point). Wish they'd had the keyboard like the One Mix 3.
Otherwise the device is pretty excellent, the portability really sells it.
I really hope they can provide a touch point like thinkpad. Or if thinkpad make a similar product.
just got the active stylus for the one mix 4, performance is terrible. precision and lag is pretty bad. been using EMR devices for so long so it especially feels bad using the pen for this laptop. other than that its a wonderful computer. may try SuperDisplay in the future to get the drawing performance that i want.
@@martymcintosh5026 True if you are used to Wacom EMR this will be a disappointment in the drawing department. I had the One Mix 2 and 3 before this though, and the 4's digitizer is slightly better. I just wish they wouldn't deactivate simultaneous pen and touch.
Great review as always Lisa! I love this little machine, it's the best ultra portable secondary device. I was especially surprised at the quality of the screen, performance, and how little adjustment it required to get used to it, despite it's small size.
Lisa, you always wear some of the most interesting and amusing shirts in all your review videos!
It makes us almost want to watch every review just to see what different & amusing shirt you'll choose next.
This is on top of your usual great review style that is brief and concise while being informative.
I felt the same, immediately want One
Lisa, you’re spot on. I don’t need the One Netbook One, but sure do want one. As always, love your videos and your shirts!
Love your tee shirt! You do the best reviews. Detailed and to the point. Thank you
Makes me miss my old Asus eeePC! I still have it somewhere!
I'm still using my Eee PC and I love it, but yeah, doing anything besides the lightest possible browsing and storing data on it, can be really painful. A 10-year-old Atom(ic Bomb), that was already outdated when it came out, is no joke when it comes to (under)performance. Still, I like to keep it around as an emergency device.
Thank you, didn't expect you to review this laptop! Wish it had a camera and better overall after-sales service
Thank you very very much for showing me the pen being actually used! I am really thinking about buying this beauty of a netbook to write and start drawing (from scratch) among all the rest.
Do more of these 10" windows laptops please, massively underrated formfactor...
Just what I was looking for, a travel throwaway laptop, then I saw the price. I’m sure they can dial it down far enough to where it be competitive with the Surface Go and the iPad.
If you don't have to run windows x86 apps Lenovo Chromebook duet may be good enough for you. It's cheap, it does web browsing well and it can run most of the Android apps.
The Surface Go with type cover is only $200 less than this, with half the storage and an m3 8100 vs. an 11th gen i5.
Thanks for the responses. I’d rather not Chromebook and I would love an x86 netbook at about the $300-400 range. Specs aren’t important, just enough to do what I need to do while traveling. My options are limited but that price point is appealing. This would be ideal and I would take a 1080P non-touch, no backlight, limited ports, w/ TPM, 4 GB - 8 GB purpose built to travel with. The Go isn’t priced right (should be far lower) but using that as an example. Obviously Chromebooks blow them out the water but that’s the Google ecosystem I don’t want to fully get into.
I really like the quote on your T-shirt :D
I had a NetBook back in the day. Windows Starter was the operating system. I don't know why I never took advantage of upgrading to Windows 7. That was a bad decision on my part. I did however max out the RAM on it. 😀
I stumbled onto this video as I dug into what seems to be the small world of ultra compact laptops. What a fantastic review. I want to gush but will instead like and subscribe. Thank you.
As the owner of a Onemix 3pt I can understand why someone would see the size silly or inpratical, but this is not a blanket statement that always sticks. I love mine. I work on as I would on my desktop. The size of it means it is easy to take it commuting, etc. Considering that it has touch and pen support, it really is worth the asking price. The batteries are replaceable as well. I do think that the 10" machine will be much more practical as you mention for most people. I just am commenting that the 7-8" version are also well done and are very very useful.
FYI - I tried to buy this on AliExpress. The indicated there were over 3,000 units available in stock. After charging me, and waiting until five business days, they came back with, “sorry, product is back ordered. Now I’m at the mercy of freakin AliExpress. No bueno.
You are one of the best as far as reviews go , long time fan
Wish we could see these specs on a high end surface go. It's already amazing that this device is even smaller than the surface go.
Great review. Nice to hear someone communicate concisely and accurately. Refreshing. I subscribed..
I’ve been your subscriber for years and I’m always impressed by your videos and all your wonderful t-shirts 😊😊
Reminds me of my old eeePC 700 running a Celeron 900Mhz. Bezels sure have come a long way...
I was interested in the One Mix 3 but was skeptical about the brand but now that you reviewed this mix 4, I might save up and get it one day❤️
You don’t see her get excited for a laptop that often! Good product but personally I have my eyes on the X12, according to the service manual the screen is not glued so you can replace the battery!..and have the nice Lenovo keyboard and red dot.
I am just wondering between the titanium yoga and the x12 which one has the most pleasant keyboard
That's pretty compelling.
This seems a good alternative option for tablets with its practical keyboard and external ports to secure compatibility.
Hey Lisa, thanks for the review, pls be so kind and link the source to that specific t-shirt, my wife teaches math so, pretty pls :)
Great, clear feedback and thank you. Next up: How does a novice like me turn it on and what do I do next? I'd much rather watch a visual reel than read the info. Keep up the infectious enthusiasm!
This has some "things" I like in my dream porayble machine.
Macbook air 11.6 inch formfactor , type A + type c + ethernet + fingerprint + ThinkPad keyboards + XPS bezels + touch support + 360 convertible + 5G
a M1-like low TDP ARM chip and 15hrs battery life
Nice to see you're reading David Mitchell : )
love the reviews of less mainsteram products!
This product looks great!. When I'm looking for a machine, I look for a fairly high resolution Display [just not 1080], it has to have the capability of being bright and the battery needs to be adequate. This seems to do all that 👌,
Sold on the laptop and the t-shirt, Lisa.
I have small hands so this kinds of seems perfect. Would've liked just a 1080p panel with better pen technology. Would be perfect for taking notes, etc! And you're right at the end, I don't need it but I have the feeling of "wanting" it. I carry a small shoulder bag, and it would fit amazingly well into it. If apple made a similar product with the hinge and convertible iOS/MacOS with the one chip, I would be SOLD.
her T-shirt never disappoint us
I would probably buy this instead of my Surface Go 2 a year ago. I'm not saying it's better. I would just sleep easier knowing the CPU can handle stuff. Not that I've had any problems with the Go 2 so far. The little passive dude can even do some light 3D gaming.
The tshiirt is killing me. Lisa you rock!
Just great..... now you make me wanna buy ANOTHER computer xD I love the look of that laptop, looks very compact and well built. Funny thing is that I just bought the Surface laptop go and upgraded the drive to a 512GB SSD. Anyways thanks for the great review!
Sounds like an interesting piece of hardware. Would be great for traveling. Oh, the shirt is utterly hysterical!
Why did they miss out a webcam on this, a very basic requirement? The pen is not going to give us Surface level experience anyway, and no thunderbolt...
Would have been a great device, that we can use while travelling, and easily connect to monitor and other peripherals..
Because having an edge-to-edge screen was the priority. If you need a webcam, use your phone through one of the many free apps like Droidcam (it actually works great and is much better quality than any laptop webcam). As for Thunderbolt, these are full speed USB 4.0 ports which mean they're equivalent to Thunderbolt, including external GPU support. They just didn't pay for the certification to receive the Thunderbolt branding.
Lisa is an absolute legend.
I have a GPD Pocket 2 (7", m3, 8GB, 128GB) that's great for the sofa or the bed. I hold it with two hands and close. It's good for web browsing, RUclips, to write an email, modify my resume in Word, simple spreadsheets in Excel and some editing in Lightroom.
But I also need something for the desk, and I since I have to use the P2 on a 30cm box, was wondering if the OneMix 4 Pro (10.1", i5 11th gen, 16GB, 1TB M.2) for $1.000 plus duties and taxes can be used at desktop distances?
10.1" screen area is around 2x of the 7". But the 4 Pro also has higher resolution.
Or for desktop I must have something like the 13" MacBook Air or 14" X1 for 2560x1920 type of resolutions, that have around 4x the area of the 7" laptop?
Thanks.
I’m waiting for the One notebook mix One One with 12 point One display.
One-Netbook really should include a webcam and a pair of stereo speakers. It will be perfect for people who travel light and still work remotely from time to time while traveling.
Imaging being a backpacker and working remotely after this pandemic, having this mini laptop is so much better than carrying both a large laptop for work and a personal tablet for entertainment.
Just use your phone as a webcam and a pair of headphones. Easy.
@@nickthaskater That is possible but it's not convenient. I only use my headphones for music or if I'm outdoors. Do you use headphones for watching videos indoors?
@@taichiwinchester1102 Yes, I do wear headphones, especially if I'm in a public place. Otherwise I watch things on the television or on a large monitor.
i think its super cool! i have a soft spot for those small form factor laptops 😅
Same. I'm planning on getting the even smaller GX1, and DIY a dock to make it a 15".
Wow, it seems so perfect on paper
Looks great ! But how’s the webcam ? Can I use it for college ?
Nice review thank you.
I don't know if I'm alone on that, but I would love such netbook, but with full USB and maybe even HDMI. And also if it could fit a tiny stylus in it. I would love to carry only a laptop without a big bas, where I have all I need in it, and I don't need to worry about any adapters.
That's how my Netbook worked and what my current Toshiba Portege Z20t does, but there aren't really any alternatives.
Just get a compact Type C to A adapter. They're no bigger than your little fingernail. As for HDMI, more and more monitors support Type C video, too. You can get truly compact Type C adapters which have everything you need and then some if you're still stuck with legacy connections.
Trying to fit those old, large ports into something like this would be a waste of space, honestly.
Nice review! What's its typical battery life in medium load?
I enjoyed the macbook video and thanks for it
Love the shirts!
I'm curious why your mic is so big.
Great review Lisa. I’ve been watching your reviews for the past 7 years and you’ve always been very informative. Thank you.
i love my tiny thinkpad x280 and wouldnt change it for anything.. but this netbook looks awesome and i would love to try that.
Love your T-shirt!
Is this from the same company that makes the One+ Phone?
I was also wondering that.
No, completely different companies.
Beautiful. But of course, they stopped right before making it the ultraportable mobile device and kicked the cell modem. I can't believe this point still has to be argued in 2021. How long did it take until Wi-Fi became a commodity?
Just tether it to your phone? I do that with my Surface Go. Works seamlessly.
@@nickthaskater Of course, why didn't I think of it? The first thing that comes to mind when buying a notebook for thousands of dollars is obviously having to fiddle with connections every time you open it up. They should do away with the integrated Wi-Fi as well, people could just stop being lazy and use a dongle.
Alternatively, we could just get with the program and move to 2021, as we did from black & white to color TV, HD and 4K eventually.
@@Noodles.FreeUkraine "fiddle with connections?" You literally unlock your phone and tap the "hotspot" quick setting. The computer connects automatically after the first time you set it up. LTE would likely murder the already "adequate" battery life.
@@nickthaskater Yep, that's what people call fiddling. Feel free to do it until the cows come home and drain your phone's battery as an added bonus. And don't forget to deactivate your Wi-Fi chip and use a proper dongle. The computer connects automatically after the first time you set it up.
@@Noodles.FreeUkraine what dongle are you talking about? Why would you deactivate wifi?
It's literally a one time setup just like connecting to a wifi network for the first time. Thereafter all you're doing is tapping a button on your phone and that's it.
I use my phone to tether for hours on end with negligible hit on my phone battery.
You're hilarious.
Does the screen have a "pen only"-mode so that you can rest your hand on it while writing?
Interesting little machine. Seems like it'd be nice to have when a tablet just won't do.
If you needed something small to just dock and use a regular keyboard mouse and monitor, the TB ports would make for a clean compact setup.
Would work really nice for a student.
100 percent agree about the keyboard. I miss too many keystrokes.
I already have one and its interesting how you didn't talk about the downsides of the machine.
Like the old gen N-Trig pen tech, passable but not great battery life, the keyboard keys one has to depress quite far and the trackpad that's a little awkwardly small for gestures? In my book, those are downsides.
Ahh yes. I love computers with catchy names like this!
No webcam? Seems like a own goal there...even a basic one is better than none
you can use any phone (android or iPhone) as a webcam over wifi, even with freeware such as DroidCam
I have so much techno-lust for that thing right now I think RUclips may flag this as pr0n... I'm curious about the key feel, how would it compare to, say, an X230 Thinkpad for pressure, etc.?
Hi Lisa, Can i ask what mic are you using? the one pinned in your beautiful pink shirt❤🙈
It's a Sony Bluetooth mic for Sony dSLR cameras.
@@mobiletechreview thank you Lisa❤
Lisa where do you get your shirts!?
i remember my hp was 10 oh 11 inch i used to love this size of lap i think it'll solid with editing works especially you don't know where and when do you get inspiration
Love the shirt!
What do you think of MNT Pocket Reform, SHIFT13mi, Framework laptop, and Pine64 Tab?
Nice & Thanks :).
It's a nice netbook, the price is a little steep. I can't wait till something like this comes down to the $500 price range. I like the fact that it has a true SSD port and not EMMC and 8 GB of RAM.
Love your t-shirt
I wish they gave this the 11” iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard accessory’s key layout, but with f keys.
2:05 frame to read the text on the tshirt. ^^
Alternative is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano (13", weighs 907g), has also a review on this channel.
sadly, the the absent of webcam is the deal breaker 😥
Some how I just like your shirt. Where you get that? Thank you
Funny T-shirt.
Love that shirt :D
Webcam?
Impressive but I suspect that with extended time typing on the narrow keyboard my wrists would start to cramp up.
I really like the appeal of compact powerhouse like this netbook, but $1,159 for i5/16GB LPDDR4X-3200 RAM/512GB storage from One GX's official Aliexpress store? Sorry, but I'd think very seriously about buying an Intel NUC Performance or a 14" laptop with Thunderbolt connectivity instead.
How many ultrabooks have you in regular use?
Whats the laptop displayed in the screen at 7:09 :D
When yo grandma is knowledgeable in computers instead in knitting.
Hi, does the onemix4 supports TPM 2.0 and Windows 11 upgrade?
OMG such a cutie beast.....need one
Is there an 11.6 inch version of this laptop?
Bought 1 already. After 6 months ,it broken. Can not use more
MobileTechReview fine?
Can play FIFA 21 (720p without lag) at least?
Please answer, thanks in advance!
💙
Here is a video playing FIFA 21 on a similar setup:
ruclips.net/video/bNpO0BkWmb8/видео.html
The laptop in the video will likely have better cooling (due to it being larger) but I don't think 60FPS at 1080p is out of the question on low.
720P should be medium or high at 60FPS.
interesting with that small size it have Intel core i5 and i7 with intel iris XE graphics that is awesome
