The video primarily focuses on the detailed examination and evaluation of a recently purchased sub-laptop from AliExpress featuring a unique configuration. The laptop includes a Celeron N100 CPU and an unusually large 12 GB of RAM, distinct from typical devices in this category. The presenter provides an in-depth look at the laptop's physical build, noting its metal body, foldable touchscreen, and various ports including USB Type-C, HDMI, and an Ethernet port. Inside, the device houses a small SSD and an integrated wireless system, with the aluminum chassis generating noticeable heat during use.
The keyboard’s layout and functionality are critiqued, particularly its odd key placements and the sensor-based track point. The system, once powered on, demonstrated quick boot times but faced potential issues with Windows activation due to an uncertain choice between Windows 10 Pro and Home. Performance benchmarks revealed decent CPU capabilities but poor graphics, likened to a fourth-generation Core i5, prompting consideration of its uses for multimedia and light gaming.
The presenter highlights the versatility of the device, suggesting it is suitable for basic tasks like email checking, thanks to its portable size, touchscreen functionality, and folding capability. The laptop's specifications include an 8-inch screen, 12 GB DDR5 RAM, Windows 11, and Wi-Fi 6 support, making it a compelling two-in-one notebook/tablet. The video concludes with an expression of gratitude to the viewers.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces a new and unscripted segment about a recent purchase from AliExpress—a tiny eight-inch sub-laptop with a unique configuration. The laptop features a Celeron N100 CPU and an unusual 12 GB of RAM, which intrigued the presenter since such devices typically have only around 4 GB. Despite potential risks associated with buying electronics from AliExpress, the presenter decided to order it without storage to save money, planning to use an existing drive instead. The laptop notably took about three months to arrive and has a metal body with a screen that swivels and folds flat, akin to a tablet.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses a laptop’s features and components. They note that the laptop is surprisingly heavy and list its ports: a charging USB Type-C with display capabilities, HDMI, headphone/microphone, USB Type-A, and an Ethernet port, which was a significant factor in their purchase. The laptop has an actively cooled fan that isn’t loud, with venting on the bottom.
The presenter then opens the laptop, describing the internal components. It has a 22-42 size SSD, which is relatively small, and a 36.5 watt-hour battery manufactured recently. The wireless components are integrated into the board, with the presenter tracking the internal wiring.

In this part of the video, the speaker examines the compact system, noting that the RAM is likely on the other side of the board, which they haven’t removed yet. They observe that the aluminum chassis can become quite warm during intensive use. Turning attention to the keyboard, they mention its U.S. layout, odd key placements, and a preference for swapping the backspace and delete keys due to frequent use. The track point is a sensor rather than a physical point, and the keyboard, despite its compromises, is not the worst they’ve encountered. They then power on the system, noting the power button’s integration into the keyboard and the quick boot time, although the system did not come with Windows installed.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses using a mouse to interact with an Intel rn100 system that has 12 GB of RAM. They mention having installed Windows 10 Pro on the device but are unsure if it should have been Windows 10 Home, which might be causing activation issues. The speaker then talks about running a performance benchmark to see how the system performs. They note that the built-in speakers are better than expected but still not very good. They also show the 30-watt charger that comes with a short cable and mention that they have been using a longer cable from a ThinkPad charger. The segment ends with an apology for the noise from a helicopter due to a nearby forest fire.

In this segment, the presenter evaluates the performance of a small computer system. The overall score is less than a thousand, with decent CPU performance but poor 2D and 3D graphics, comparable to a fourth-generation Core i5. The presenter invites viewers to consider what they would do with such a system, mentioning possible uses like multimedia and gaming. Examples of games to test on the system include Minecraft and Fall Guys.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the versatility of a 12th gen mini gaming laptop with an Intel Alder Lake N100 processor, highlighting its suitability as a portable system for basic computing needs like checking email. The speaker appreciates its touchscreen, especially because it folds, enhancing its functionality. The device features an 8-inch screen, 12GB DDR5 RAM, runs Windows 11, and supports Wi-Fi 6, making it a valuable two-in-one notebook/tablet. The video concludes with a thank you to the viewers.
