So I get a HP DM1-1000 motherboard (Intel SU2300) which is 100% compatible with 3GB of DDR3 and 120G SSD. Now it runs windows 10 pro and works as my old game(2005-2010 and dosbox) platform, it just so much fun to boot it and spend some good time with it.

I like netbooks, and that one is almost perfect.. but somehow on a Thinkpad the sticking point is the keyboard... I absolutely detest the position of the FN key on that, should've been swapped with CTRL as that really needs to sit in the bottom corner... I've personally gone through three netbooks, the first being more of a safety net when my desktop died a few years back, despite the laptop having a busted hinge, no battery life and no hard-drive at first. Thankfully managed to get hold of a slightly newer one for free that just needed an HDD replacement, and once the charging port on that died I ended up getting another Acer, basically one of the ripple lidded ones in the beginning of this vid but in blue, and thankfully that's a dual core Atom. Lovely little thing runnin' Mint XFCE even if it's a bit slow

You might want to look into finding a Lenovo X140e AMD quad core, I have one in RED I got from an education surplus auction in A grade condition for $80, and once I bumped the RAM to 8GB it runs Manjaro Deepin Linux fine with the HDD being the slowest part, it's not my main machine, so I've not gotten around to installing an SSD, just make sure before you buy your machine the seller tells you that computrace was never activated in the BIOS, or you are hosed on being able to swap the HDD. Computrace is like lowjack for laptops, and i know of no way to disable it once activated.
@Wingnut3535 жыл бұрын
I can also vouch for the x140e.... its single core speed is about the same (slower clock but more cache) but the quad core helps a ton in web browsing etc... it also has a more modern GPU. It's also worth swapping the wifi card for FRU 04W3814 which are cheap from china after you update the BIOS. I do have a cheap $50 480GB SSD in mine and it works fine. The x140e seems to only need to have the CMOS battery removed to reset the supervisor pass, just remove battery power and the CMOS battery and leave it that way 5 min... and then it should work IIRC if that fails shorting the SCL/SDA pins on the SPI flash where the password is stored will do the trick also.

1:03 SUCCESSOR* my X120e is the E-350 variant. it had been through hell. up until the end of 2015 I babied it. within 4 years it went from pretty quick budget laptop to "yeah screw you I'm just gonna be slow". win7 was weird on it sometimes, the 8GB of RAM I gave it in 2011 when RAM was cheap and the 750GB drive I slapped in first thing didn't help the E-350's case. while still faster than the E-350, it was still not enough to make it 4 years on. the CPU, like all the E series AMD chips, was limited by the single-channel memory bus, and it only did SATA II, so no improvements using an SSD would have helped much except for loading times for the initial start of programs. back int he day the graphics were enough to run Dirt 3 on medium settings when the game was fairly newish. now I'm not so sure that'd be the case, but it can still play a mean game of half life 2. Minecraft was decentish on all low settings back then too, something I wouldn't dare try on it now. in the years since I've had it, it has gotten moisture ingress in the panel and lost its rubber feet. I did a thermal compound replacement guide on notebookreview for the model back then, and I was one of the first to do this despite the warranty concerns. a couple years ago I almost sold mine after getting a parts unit for $40 for just the screen and anything else to make one good system and sell it for $100, but they're not even worth that anymore. they're garbage, sad to say. you can get more usage life out of an Acer V5-131 with a Celeron 1007U and an SSD, since these have SATA III and are immensely more powerful.
@AAComputersandTechnology5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the correction! You're tempting me to try a little light gaming using the E350 variant now! Yeah, back in 2011 this was probably one of the best choices out there as far as netbook-like machines were concerned. Now though, there are several similarly priced options that blow this out of the water and after thinking about it, I changed the video title to reflect this.

I bought mine for $550 with the extended 6-cell battery and 2GB of RAM. it cost me $100 to do the upgrade to where I had it for the next 4 years, the 8GB kit being $30 and the hard drive costing $70 at the time. you may get slightly better results making sure all the drivers are up to snuff with that snappy driver installer stuff that philscomputerlab has touted in the past, the win10-provided drivers for the AMD boxes aren't always the most up to date. now, this all said, you'd definitely want to make some comparisons at games on XP, 7 and 10 with such (win8.x might be an idea too but who uses that anymore?). SDI comes in handy here if you load it up on a 32-gig flash drive, since it'll just have everything ready for you driverwise. I also had for a time, an HP 2000-2b19wm, the AMD E-300 dual-core 1.3GHz variant of those 15.6" walmart-special laptops. they also performed exactly like crap with anything other than 7 or lower installed.

CloudReady OS Home Edition is alright, but on some AMD Lenovo models or just AMD PC in general can have issues like sleep mode not working, can have video driver issues, can seem a bit limited for some, with no Android app support, but if you have an older 32bit Intel netbook with at least 1.5GB of RAM they do have a 32bit version that's still being supported for the time being, you just have to look up how to install Widevine if you want Netflix playback. I did it with my old ACER Aspire One ZG5 as I really like the size of it, and I got it playback YT videos at 360p while running fairly warm, but no throttling, or stuttering, but Netflix was another story on stutter, and Hulu was a no go on that version of Chromium, same for WWE Network, which is a problem on all Linux distros I've tried. lastly writing the .BIN for a CloudReady OS can be a bit of a pain if you are not on Windows with Chrome browser installed, or have access to an official Chromebook for the Chrome recovery Utility , and on Manjaro Deepin Linux I had to use a package from the AUR repos called ISO Image Writte, and you need to use an 8GB or larger USB thumb drive that's not Sandisk as the controller chips in them are friendly with CloudReady OS for some reason, and no it can't be written to a DVD-R as it makes multiple small partitions on the thumb drive.

Hey have you looked at the $35 x86 intel based sbc the 'AtomicPi'. I still do not understand how they're making these at this price point but I am not complaining. Here are the specs for the cpu and what it supports en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/atom_x5/x5-z8350 , the cpu was launched in feb.2016. Its great, no searching for armhf img's and compatible OS'es any X86 OS will run including Win10. It comes with on board emmc flash usb 3.0 , a host/device two way switch by the type c socket, 2gb ram, full gigabit, my explanation wouldn't do it justice. Its larger than most sbc's but the only thing coming close is the panda , not the alpha, and its $80 not $35.. They will probably be sold out from now until forever but some people still may get lucky. The only thing I really do not like is the obnoxiously large heatsink, but its an x86 full sized cpu so its needed, I am sure if it remains in demand new cooling solutions will become available.. I have a netbook obsession as well , even though the performance is shit the form factor is great. My most recent one was actually in this video the AspireONE , . It also had hdmi/vga 3 usb ports ethernet (maybe a card reader?).. If I am not mistaken there was even an m.2 slot inside. What I did was install 4MLinux , it doesn't have an official package manager but it does have dpkg and rpm , I loaded a bunch of .deb and rpm and compiled some things from source. At startup with all the processes the graphical desktop and taking a tour of the distro it never broke 100mb of RAM , amazing. There are plenty of images that will actually run fast on netbooks its just a matter of what you need. If your familiar with busybox I would recommend trying minimal/Linux its small the entire installed image is 7mb , again though any applications you want to use outside of the core need to be compiled but the surplus resources makes it worth it to do so, plus your learning things and not just typing apt install.. I really want one of those little thinkpads , if not for anything , for the look..

The x120 yeah... that's about the size of it. The x131e is a bit better, and the x140e is quite usable... even for browsing (I use firefox on it and have an SSD and more ram installed as it was cheap).

@@Wingnut353 I think I prefer the "T" series....whils I WILL say the x230 and x250 aren't bad?...but I'm not into 12 / 13" laptops...I need 14" and up!...LoL!....still for like my niece?...(who has small hands and a small frame?) lugging a T-420 / T-520 / T-430 / T-530?...would NOT be beneficial to her, whereas the X230/240/250 might be perfect!

I had an x130e with e300 apu. Fortunately I installed Windows 7 32bit. This laptop was so f slow. It played 480p youtube with 100% cpu and office work was very below average. Built and battery was perfect however and so was the keyboard. I bought it for 45$ and sold it for 40$ in a week. Not a fan of these super slow apus.
