Honestly, they were SO CLOSE. Better BIOS (CPU boost and proper RAM usage), 20 bucks more for the panel and a less bizarre keyboard layout, and this would be a hidden gem.
-
I can’t believe Linus has never heard of the clearly superior right-shift-backspace key placement.
-
07:21 having worked in China, I can tell you why they partition boot and user files separately. It comes from the old school mindset where you'd had to re-install windows once in a while to keep it snappy. Keeping the user files away removes the hassle of having to use an external drive for backup. (We're talking Win Me/ XP era).
-
02:10 Do you seriously not know that socket is an OCuLink port? Are you kidding me? Amazing!
-
The editors with their little funny details, I love it. The flipped HDMI port icon😅
-
The way Alex comes into frame with something to say and immediately looks to camera, even when talking to Linus, always makes me laugh. It's endearing for some reason haha
-
It would be a fun video idea to "fix" this laptop. Throw in a more relaible SSD, swap the ram out, fix the bios and let the cpu boost to higher clock speeds. Maybe even fix the weird keyboard layout by remapping the keys in software. It might be a very good deal in terms of performance even after accounting for the price of the fixes.
-
I really loved how the HDMI icon flipped to reflect the actual orientation of it on the machine.
-
Honestly it's very worth a follow-up video with Anthony tinkering further with the Bios and try to find a boost solution. There has to be a way to unlock that CPU boost!
-
That flipping HDMI animation there was a nice touch which made me chuckle in delight. Whoever edited this, you are on top of your game.
-
Personally I have never been able to build muscle memory to use Right-Shift, but that power button is unforgivable. When I still had my MacBook (2015) I always hit the power button when aiming for backspace.
-
Love you even flipped hdmi icon on your demostrations of what it has :D +respect
-
I love the upside down HDMI port on the specs portion instead of the usual right side up graphic. Props for the fun little things
-
I'm interested in seeing the BIOS options on this laptop. A lot of Chinese laptops from little-known brands have very customizable and unlocked BIOS settings, so there might be a way to manually increase the RAM speeds, adjust the CPU TDP and clocks, and more.
-
Backspace location would dive me nuts, but the shift key wouldn't be a dealbreaker. I use the left shift for everything(still type around 140-150 wpm last I checked). I never even realized I had that habit until you brought up the right shift key in this video!
-
That connector is called the OCulink x8. It give you external PCIe support. Mostly found in the server hardware world. Super cool to see. Wish framework did some thing similar.
-
Gotta be honest. I can't tell you the last time I used the right shift key. That being said this keyboard design is strange.
-
That rear PCIe connector looks a lot like OCuLink. It's a thing that was supposed to be a Thunderbolt competitor but ended up mostly being used internally in servers for NVMe connections. Hope they didn't mess with the pinout or something lol, would be interesting to see if it works. Also I love that they straight up put the PCIe logo on the back lol.
-
I love the details the editor put by placing the hdmi port upside down in the spec sheet
-
The Heoraidy brand for the SSD isn't that strange actually. I've lived in China for a while and I've seen that brand quite often for memory related devices. I even bought one for an awefully slow PC that was controlling a measurement system and it worked fine.
