@@psychopath_syd Yep, eMMC Lifespan is rated at 3000 Write/Erase Cycles. Now, wear levelling (if implemented, I seriously doubt that) might help a bit, but once you filled up most of the 32GB, there's not much left to do for the eMMC chip while still maintaining what little "performance" it has. Guess it would be smarter to install the OS on an external SD card, possibly a 128GB or 256GB "endurance" version. You can easily unplug the SD card and copy it to another one, for backups.

We have a predecessor of this, $75 new. Now 4 years old and my kids still love to watch videos and RU-vid. It doesn't do much else, for learning how to work with a laptop (especially a rough 6 yer old) it was the best purchase ever!!! Typing, paint, videos and learn how to work with a pad or mouse. Perfect. I never expected it ti last this long Thought it would die in a year.. Yet ... :-) If Linus spend a bit more time on alix, he probably would have found for $75-85 Including transport :-) Ours didn't not have the amazing mouse 😂

You should do a video on best used/refurbished laptops under $50-100. Some used business laptops are really nice deals, especially compared to some new cheap laptops.

I think that this laptop with this spec works a bit better with Linux. Also would've loved to see if the m2 slot actually work. Put some isolation underneath first or doublesided tape.

It's really bad on linux too, I had this same laptop and linux doesn't even work OOTB you need a patched kernel

I once got myself a 10.1' Digma transformer with a tablet screen, 2GB RAM and 32GB storage AND a x32 Windows. It was $120. It lived through my 2 last years of university, I managed to finish Stardew Valley on it and moved 2 countries with it in my backpack. Yes it is rather slow, yes it is inefficient for heavier programs. BUT it served me so well for several years and it still keeps the battery life for 5 hours. I only had to get a new one when got into UI/UX design and started using heavier programs. But I still have it and use it to watch movies in bed.

Please do a followup of the labs upgrading this laptop as much as possible. Put in an SSD, find another ram chip to solder in and maybe upgrade the CPU!

@ProjectswAlex 10 месяцев назад

Ditto I want to see cheap laptop upgraded to the MAX

@pp3v42_g3h 10 месяцев назад

The SSD upgrade is possible, the RAM and CPU isn't. Probably you can find RAM chips with higher density, but replacing them isn't enough, you have to write the SPD eeprom too and with unsupported chips you have to generate the content too to the jedec standard and also check the straps too. CPU upgrade is also hard, probably you can find a similar chip with the same BGA package and generation and microcode support, but CPUs are hard to solder and can be damaged way easier than RAM chips when soldering them without proper equipment and experience. I do these things all the time and it's fun, but waaay too much work and not worth it even for a video.

Not sure if the CPU got 64bit bus (Ye That was still the tricky time They could Pick it up with “amd64” compliance while it just going with emt64 and 32/48bit bus not allowing it to use more than 3gbs RAM. .

3 GB of ram isn't enough for windows 10's minimum recommended specs, so that makes it slower still because it is hitting the page file all the time on the storage.

The CPU is too old to be officially supported anyhow. My granddads slightly newer laptop with a 2 core 4 thread celeron and 4 gb ram was new enough and did get auto-upgrade to win11 though ugh. Not that he ever uses it anyhow. EDIT oh wait read 11, works for 32-bit win10 though might run into issues with newer 64-bit only apps
