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.

Viewing angle is phenomenal. The keyboard and touchpad feels extremely good. The built quality is superb on every inches.

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.

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 😅

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.

And the internals are almost the same as an 800 dollar MacBook since their both RISC CPU based....

[@megan_alnico]

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.

[@tqrules01]

@@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

[@andrewkamoha4666]

4:02 "I just couldn't get it open" No Teardown => No Thumbs Up !!!!! kkk 🤣

[@bibasik7]

MacBooks don't cost $8,000 either. They only cost $6,000. I am very triggered that you said $8,000 because I have no sense of humor. reeeeeeeeeee

[@human.earthling]

Remember the OLPC (one laptop per child) attempt to make a laptop for $100 back in 2005?

[@potatogaming6686]

gg no reeee

[@liveslul]

3:26 wait standard lenovo what?

[@treyriver5676]

Now $160.. thank you Joe Biden.

[@JusteazyGames]

Because profiteering companies who price gouge in an unregulated market have nothing to do with it. It is all caused by an incompetent, dementia suffering old man who can't figure out how to tie his own shoes who is, somehow, single-handedly masterminding global price increases across the board to line the pockets of Fortune 500 executives who donate billions of dollars to his political rivals. Makes perfect sense.

[@snerttt]

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!)

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.

[@NumberSixAtTheVillage]

The best thing about this, is your awesome music track at the end. Where did you get that?

[@Boogie_the_cat]

No, not all tape is tamper evident tape, because if i was your delivery person, i could remove regular tape, steal your laptop, put a brick in the box, and tape it up again. In fact, that is what i do, once a month on my delivery route, and my boss just thinks I'm incompetent and lose things, and amazon just mails out a second box of panties. Its a win-win, except when its a box of panties, because I'm a man.

[@bland9876]

If only someone would make an actual high-end device that's running an arm processor maybe we can kill off x86 finally?

[@sleeplessindefatigable6385]

"Crash Bandicoot is running very smoothly" Truly monumental praise there, Dawid.

[@LazyProgrammer]

Imagine downloading Android Studio in this 💀

[@DuckMaster37]

now this is what a chromebook should be like, good quality, feels premium, good keyboard and trackpad, great display, all for an extremely affordable price, most people could probably use it as a daily device and it should last around 4-6 years before needing to be replaced

[@chrinamint]

Haha! That was entertaining! Very cute little Chromebook. I have an HP 14" CB and after you remove the screws from the back, then you turn it over and the top piece that surrounds the keyboard is the part that pops off. You have to use your little pry bits to crack it all around, but there will be a starting point somewhere. Maybe try again...or Google that specific device to see how it opens.

[@chrinamint]

Oh, I just saw some of the other comments...about the hidden screws. Yes, I forgot about that...my CB also had a couple hidden under some rubber bits, but not the feet...there are a couple of small rubber bits just in the center that have to be removed to access more screws. Anyway...you probably don't care any more by now! Ha!

[@madbanana22]

and of all things they chose MEDIATEK LMAO

[@SIDDHARTH45VR]

This video really helped me. Thank you very much!!!

[@BlueSky_fur]

They gave these out in university at one point, but the tablet version with a detachable keyboard. Hated these. but it was fun trying.

[@bagethian1]

It worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much

[@LoliKittyEmma]

the other screws are under the rubber feet
