Today we're looking at the Geo Geobook 140X Xbox Game Pass Edition Gaming Laptop. At first glance the specifications look a little weak, so what's the deal with this little machine?
Well let's take a look.

So I had a very similarly specc'd laptop laying around that hasn't seen use in about 3 years on account of it being too slow to perform basically any tasks, but recently I upgraded to the game pass ultimate and decided to see just how far the cloud stuff could go. Was pretty wild seeing the laptop which struggled with even basic web browsing run games like halo infinite and dirt 5 almost flawlessly even over wifi. The idea of buying a low spec laptop with the sole intention of playing via the cloud still seems like a terrible option, but it's really nice to see how it can give older hardware a new lease of life.

If you plan to use game pass on more devices, with downloaded games on a main pc and with cloud gaming on a second device, keep in mind that when you play on cloud it's like you're playing on an xbox (to prove this, when you play via cloud gaming you can't change graphics settings), so you can cross-save only with some games like forza horizon, flight simulator and halo

Great video as always, a Celeron and integrated graphics are not going to cut it with a downloaded game ( even an android game on an emulator would chug along i think). But for letting the servers in the cloud do the work it does a good job, £200 for that is a good idea when you see how much a decent tablet costs these days. Keep up the good work and our UK speeds are cheaper and faster than a lot of the USA ( they get jiffed by the ISP's).

Sadly I have the same experience with the xbox pc app, refusing to download games, refusing updates and sometimes not even starting the game is too common for me. PC Game Pass is a good deal on paper, but when the company that made the OS can't get their own app to work correctly it's not a good deal. Only reason I have Game Pass is that is was cheap enough (60€ for 31 months) to make up for the headaches.

I've seen this chassis. It's a rebranded Teclast laptop. The best you can run is Excel on these 2C/2T Celeron chips, or something else that uses only 1.5 threads or less. The moment you start using several apps at the same time, the performance and thus the user experience tanks. And the keyboard and touchpad are bad. My dad got a similar model with an older (but still 14nm and Skylake-based) Intel Celeron N3350 from 2016 and 8GB RAM for $170 including shipping to replace his prehistoric 2010 Intel Atom netbook with 1GB RAM and that's about what the laptop can run, but with Linux installed it will probably perform much better, and the 8GB of non-expandable RAM certainly help the laptop perform better and is good for future-proofing the laptop, as they can and will still work for at least 5 years. But anyone who does even casual browsing or watches KZbin should rather buy a 4C/4T laptop instead.

i think this is a very clever product, say you wanted to game on low budget what with the price of living costs going through the roof and a console was out of reach and the alienware brand was well out of reach of my wallet i could go with this. your getting the system, a screen, speakers and 3 month game pass, that's a good fuckin deal. the laptop looks great with its green xbox aesthetics and the packaging looks good aswell, for 200 quid and you can run forza horizon 5 at 60fps on it, honestly if someone bought me this and i had nothing i would be chuffed to bits with it. also the xbox streaming app ran pretty good when i used it before it wasn't that delayed, people said that about the stadia but i never had any issues with that, i guess its all about the internet speed which in most cases people tend to go with the best packaged provider, it goes without saying, i can see some people would not recommend this if you lived out in rural areas but if you can afford to live in those places then your not going to buy 200 quid laptop are you. you could hook up a usb external device to increase storage for work purposes, it would be interesting if you could update the ram internally just for quicker desktop usage. if my kids didnt have an xbox laptops etc the list goes on then they would be getting one of these 100% the target market for this is bigger than people think. lets face it if you broke or lost it then all your game saves are on the account you would just go buy another one without saving up for months on end and pick up where you left off its remarkable. excellent basic packaging that's not too in your face and looks the part, the system itself looks pretty good it doesn't try to be something its not i like it allot.

I used to be a huge fan of cloud gaming, but then left it behind for more traditional type of gaming bcos of the drawbacks of the former. Either way, I like that the company is honest about the laptop.

Yeah honesty is the best policy! I think cloud gaming will become less popular given the cost of hardware is dropping but at least it’s still another option for those with less to spend

I was looking for a cheap laptop and, not wanting to go down the rabbit hole which is Curry's/PC World, I saw this in Argos, and was thinking about using it as a retro gaming console. Putting Windows 7 on it and playing some retro games. Do you think it would work for that? I guess 200 quid isn't bad for a brand new laptop, and at least it's a proper laptop and not a chrome book, but I was also wondering if CEX or Cash Converter may give me a better deal.

Good luck finding drivers that work. There aren't any Windows 7 drivers for the UHD 600, The Celeron N4020 isn't supported under 7, same with the chipset and USB.

Got my daughter a Geobook X3 (quad core Pentium version) with an added M.2 SSD for school, it's surprisingly good with solid build quality so depends which generic laptop they're rebadging tbh. No idea why dual cores are still a thing though.

Ask her in 2 years I loved my laptop for 2 weeks then complained dad said no to returning it now after 2 years it's blown up burnt out and it costs more to repair it than it's worth don't by low end actually but a decent laptop that will last unlike the low end

@@topgcrseven Just checked and we bought it used on 20/11/2020, she was still using it earlier today. Assuming all low end laptops are junk is nonsense, just like assuming all business class laptops are well built. My plastic trash Thinkpad at work already has cracks in the palmrest and a non functional left touchpad button and it's had a much easier life than the all aluminium alloy Geobook. Screen is much lower quality as well. Sometimes you get rebadged cheap laptops with surprising build quality such as my daughter's which definitely doesn't come off the same production line as most of them, sometimes you get e-waste junk. I've done board level repair on a ton of laptops, have taken this one apart to repaste it and can't see anything that would make me worry, it's a nice little laptop with solid build quality that'll eventually be my Kubuntu machine when she gets a new one.
