I own one, since September 2022, great one, fast and furious, haven't disappointed at all.

Great review.. your analysis is excellent. As always 👍

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!

INSANE WORKSTATION PERFORMANCE

[@BrueComputing]

For the money its a very quick machine.

[@bfish9700]

If this was a 6800u it would be an amazing buy. I'm kinda meh about it in mid 2022.

[@BrueComputing]

Very excited to try 6600U and 6800U - still a while until we'll see those available here in the UK though I think and certainly at this kind of price. For a similar specification (5825U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Dell Inspiron 5625 you're looking at £769.

[@HuntaKiller91]

Try to buy a redmibook 15 with 6800U It's around $850 now

[@BrueComputing]

Got a link?

[@zackyomade]

I want to buy this laptop, thanks for review

[@BrueComputing]

No problem 👍

[@owl9394]

Have a 7 5800u with Radeon Vega?

[@satish8299]

On the website of KUU this laptop is described as 32Gb Max DDRam SODIMM, or is that model on the website an other model then the one you tested in the youtube?

[@peterwalker9525]

I have 64GB DDR4 Ram installed on my G5 and it works fine.

[@shaunwhiteley3544]

Excellent review thanks, would it accept 32GB of ram? Cheers

[@BrueComputing]

I haven't tested it, but 16GB modules should work absolutely fine in it. If making that upgrade then I'd make sure I fitted DDR4-3200 modules like these to maximise performance (Amazon Affiliates Link): amzn.to/39AzB9C

[@reeceflanagan8992]

i have one of these laptops and was jsut curious if you knew how to stop the backlight on the keyboard from turning off when you stop typing?

[@prla5400]

That's actually very cheap man. Great stuff.

[@BrueComputing]

Thanks. They've obviously made a few compromises to get to the price point, but for the money it is quite impressive.

[@prla5400]

@@BrueComputing I've got a question, which gallery did you use to display images on the laptop in the video?

[@BrueComputing]

I used the Windows 11 Photos application and then the Slideshow option in that. Also the pixilation on the photos is because I realised whilst editing that I'd used photos of cars with cigarette advertising on them so decided to censor it to avoid issues!

[@peterwalker9525]

Great review and I have just ordered one of these. For me 512GB is a little small, so can I swap out the SSD for a 2TB one and if so, which one would you recommend? I want to run Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing on this. Is it powerful enough in your opinion. I understand the RAM could be a bottleneck, but I can upgrade those.

[@satish8299]

Hey you have bought such a laptop, what is your opinion about the screen? LOL

[@peterwalker9525]

@@satish8299 I have bought it and it is great. The screen is fine, works well. I exchanged the M2 SSD for a Kingston 2TB and upgraded the DDR4 to 64GB and now it works fine. I put the original 512GB SSD in an external enclosure and that is now my fastest USB Drive. My only problem was that it was supplied with a non-exchangeable US Keyboard and stickers to convert to other languages. I need the German keyboard and the supplied stickers do not include the "#" key sticker and there is no key on the keyboard for "|" which on German keyboards is between the Left-Shift and "Y" (on US-Keyboard "Z"). Only workaround was to buy better stickers and to reprogram the "Option" key (with Microsoft PowerToys) for "|". The "Option" key is the least used button that does the same as a right click on a mouse.

[@vitorrocha9969]

@@peterwalker9525 You bought the g5? In the website says it is no upgradable to 2tb sdd m2, but you did it?

[@peterwalker9525]

@@vitorrocha9969 Yes, I installed a Kingston 2TB M.2 drive and it works perfectly. I even used backup and restore to transfer the original operating system and then used a partition manager to extend the main partition into one big drive C: I also upgraded the RAM to 64GB, although in retrospect 32GB would have been enough.

[@dmanjra]

In regard to missing firmware/ driver updates, is that not something that windows can update for you?

[@BrueComputing]

Its very unlikely that Kuu will submit any BIOS updates to Windows Update, but drivers are at least on their website now.

[@dmanjra]

@@BrueComputing I like the look of this laptop but concerned about the limited reviews and comments about compromised windows OS. Do you have an opinion on this?

[@wtr1779]

Hello! please tell me, this laptop can use an external graphics card? I saw that the video card can be connected to a laptop by removing the back cover and connecting it to the Wi-Fi port. using a cable EXP GDC sorry for the mistakes, I'm from Russia :)

[@BrueComputing]

Not that I'm aware of - connecting a graphics card in that way would maybe be possible but would only give it a PCIe 1x link.

[@wtr1779]

I ordered from kuu-tech a laptop. They repaired it 3 times, still broken. They changed the touch screen to non touch screen.... They dont want to write back... Very poor quality...

It's better than HP 15s with Ryzen 7 also?

45% NTSC, so something like 62% sRGB.

[@j-lewis]

@@artem053 А вот и не угадали, ничуть не повезло, преподаватель английского у меня был отвратительный и учила "на отвали", как и в большинстве общеобразовательных школ в 90-ых в России. Но я очень интересовался англоязычным интернетом, особенно мультиплеерными игрушками, а т.к. моя любимая Runescape была только на английском, плюс большая часть моего клана была из США, то мне приходилось потихоньку со словарём учить язык самому. Так я сам его выучил до уровня, что могу смотреть фильмы, читать тексты, разговаривать с носителями. Может где-то делаю всё ещё грамматические ошибки, но мне вполне хватает и многие носители этого языка хвалят меня за отличное владение и очень удивляются, что я самоучка. Извините за многобукв, но может моя история была интересной. Вывод такой: хотите выучить иностранный язык - искренне заинтересуйтесь чем-то, где этот язык активно используется и мотивация сама придёт.

[@MnemonicCarrier]

Such a shame it's a US keyboard :(

[@BrueComputing]

Yes, biggest issue I had with it - nice machine otherwise.

[@satish8299]

Mister i have bought this laptop, and uh the SCREEN are you sure it is a IPS screen, it is more like a TNT Screen LOL. and that is no fun. My Lenovo Ultrtrabook has far mar brighter colours. Why have these people not an option with a better IPS. I thin it is not an IPS but you say in you review it is? Or do you have an other model?
