Using A $50 Ultraportable Laptop... Does it Suck?

Recently I bought a $50 Dell Inspiron 11 3162 off of eBay. Was it worth the money? Let's clean it up and see just what it's capable of! #Cheap #ebay #laptop

The reason for the slowness on the ssd is because it likely is emmc storage, which is closer to the flash in an sdcard than in an m.2 or sata ssd.

[@OtioseFanatic]

Emmc storage is actually slower than your average SD card and controller nowadays.

[@DaimlerSleeveValve]

Windows 10 release 2004 actually reports the drive classification in the Performance tab of Task Manager. It reports these drives as SD cards. HP have a very similar fanless machine, labelled "Stream", but on that you have to remove a whole rubber strip to access the case screws. Again, the system board is crushed into one corner of the case, but the keyboard connection isn't folded.

The CPU is mounted diagonally to prevent the leads from shorting together well in the soldering process this method is applied pretty much for all large logic chips with small leads this way they make sure that The chip is well bonded with the motherboard with no shortage in between and it also helpe to reduce the manufacturing cost

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

How does that prevent shorting exactly

[@PaulTheFox1988]

It's mounted diagonally because it makes routing traces easier and that reduces cost because sections of the chip are much more equally distanced apart from their destination, without requiring expensive additional routing or layers to get acceptable reliability and performance. We don't see it on larger boards such as full size laptops or desktops because there's enough room to route traces properly within the space given.

Diagonal CPU installation can be for efficiency of the space on the motherboard. It's possible that the screwholes for the cpu heatsink would cause a pain if the cpu were put in horizontally.
