Garage Sale Finds: Two $10 Laptops With Impressive Hardware - Intel i3 2330M and AMD A8-4500M 

Had that exact Asus for about 8 years. It used to drive me crazy sometimes on how slow it was but I still loved the laptop.

Those older AMD chips surprised me. I found an HP business laptop with an A6-4400M inside, threw an SSD in and installed linux and it works pretty well!

our boy came back again, you love to see it

Glad you still make videos

nice fine braxton. good little laptops you can use for linux builds

Hmm weird I dont remember unsubing from your channel , btw love to see new content

the asus laptop is cira 2012-newer hense the usb 3 and the windows 8.0 windows key

Waiting for your video since long time

I got an acer with AMD A8 back in 2012. It's pretty capable for casual gaming as it can play stuff like Skyrim, Starcraft 2 and CSGO as well as more modern games like Overwatch and Doom. I got mine upgraded to 8GB ram and Kingston 200GB SSD (pretty expensive back then). Sadly the APU died after around 5 years. By the look of it dead APU seems to be a running theme for these A6-A10 radeon laptop regardless of manufacturers.

Last time I was this early you were still called the Airsoft Asian

He’s back boys!

the hp must of been upper model, since normally windows 7 era dont normally come with 6gig unless it mid-upper model

I personally own the Asus K45. Can confirm that the plastics fail easily. Had to repair the hinge mounts twice.

Btw I would really like to see a series on that land you bought , or just few videos

The cable for the SATA drive is something that HP has been doing since at least as far back as Core2Duo systems. Both HP and Dell has similar setups for IDE way back when as well. Nothing new or strange about it.

Asus only puts 3 screws in the HDD to allow for flex and they always mismatch RAM... at least in that era of machine.

I have a laptop with an a4 4300m and I ordered an a8 4500m last week. Didn't go for the a10 for temperature reasons. Hope it works well with Linux!

The A8-4500M was the processor that powered my second ever laptop back in the day, daily drove it for a few years and was a decent performer. Performance is roughly on par with a Core 2 Duo E8500 so still perfectly fine for basic use.

18:30 A lot of laptops are like that, you just have to unscrew the drive and it will come out from your typical sata connectors. Any 2.5" drive should fit fine. I own a similar HP laptop from the era. And mine has two different manufacturers of ram from the factory as well 🤔

A friend of mine had that hp model until it literally fell apart 4 years into his owning it. He still keeps it around as a janky bluray player

i have one of the asus same model i5 w 12gb ram ans 256 ssd runs pretty good i like it

Nirsoft battery info view is great for gettings all the stats.

good deal there is very bad deals in my town Clacton right now nut much sold to.

You did a video on Neverware Cloudready quite a while ago. I would like to know your opinion on their next OS with Chrome call Chrome OS Flex and see if your tricks would work concerning Google Playstore. Thanks

Great Video. Can you tell me what you use to clean those glossy screens? Thanks.

Hi Where do you buy the laptops from

they be ok for older games

hows the property u bought last year?

Great video! What did you use to clean off these laptops? I know of a person who uses lens cleaner on screens, but I don’t know if that kills any germs.

Yes I also buy only complete laptops for cheap price. Buying parts or stripped down laptops is too expensive

I had hp pavilion dv6000 entertainment note book i7 with 8gb ram and graphic and 500gb ssd

I can vouch for plastic is terrible for laptops. My HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop is falling apart less than a year. Due to excessive heat.

Good show ! And can I get your eBay listings?

I sold an AMD A8 4500M laptop with a 640GB HDD and 8GB RAM for 110 Euros on ebay, last month.

it will be ddr3 1600 mhz

thats pretty good 6gig of ram that can be decent little internet user

Windows 7 build 7601 Is Windows 7 Service Pack 1 That is the latest bill number of Windows 7 now if it didn't have service pack one it'll be 7600

Miss you not posting slot use slot off your videos for help on issues I may have

I like thinkpad they are made better

do you sell cheap pcs ?

I don't mean to come off as paranoid or rude but please destroy and dispose of that knockoff Asus charger! I took apart the exact same thing but with an older HP plug at the end when I was salvaging parts from my dad's old laptop. The low voltage secondary, specifically the secondary side of the optocoupler, was just 1mm millimeter away from the primary high voltage side of the interference suppression capacitor. So basically the user is a millimeter away from death by electrocution. I believe you need at least 6mm for it to be legally compliant and safe at all worldwide mains voltages, but if experimental rumors are correct in 110/120v countries you can maybe-ish get away with 3-4mm without too high risk of shock (in my case the charger was used in a 230v country since my family is in Europe so yeah...). Also the interference capacitor could be dodgy (it must be a proper class Y1 safety capacitor that fails open circuit instead of short circuit or else...) depending on who actually made the charger, and don't get me started on the possible risks of electrocution that can be brought on with a dodgy transformer. To add insult to injury, the poor heatsinking (hence the light weight) in these chargers can of course mean an increased risk of fire or component failure (which could again lead to electrocution). Low-end aftermarket chargers for anything are hot garbage. The only thing worse than these knockoff laptop chargers are the handful of cheap/free knockoff Samsung and Apple chargers I disassembled (let's not go there...)

Looks like someone wrote on the screen with a sharpie

I thought it was randomgaming in hd vid

I bought a dell7000 gaming laptop for 30 dollars off OfferUp I made a video of it on my channel u think that was a good find? That’s as much as I paid for my Lenovo t430 lol

14:44 Maybe some screws fell out because of wear. 15:34 An absolute garbage HDD. Hitachi laptop HDDs are also unreliable.

C'mon... anything good in the browser history?
