Very nice review, very thorough! The teardown is greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing the case you found for it. I've been curious about what I'm supposed to carry it in.

Oh my god mate. I know you're probably not going to read this but you made me laugh so hard at 51:07. That plus the exquisite overview really sold me. I love your style mate. Subscribed.

Now, that's the Mother of ALL laptop reviews. Great, thanks.

The laptop has been in operation for two months. From the very beginning there were problems with its overheating, it is always very hot. Well, you can be patient. USB ports do not always respond to the device the first time. But the most important thing is that after two months, the left side of the screen began to flicker terribly, considering that I rarely use book mode. I am trying to return the device and get the full payment back. This is where it will be clear what the manufacturer is. At the moment, I strongly do not recommend buying this laptop for serious and responsible work.

Thx for the vid. How does the writing just with thumbs and the overall feel, if u take it in both hands?

Not sure if you still use this but I have one and it plays pretty much every game out there at around 40 FPS @ 1080p/60 FPS @720p...this was after quite a bit of tinkering...Ciphrays bat file changes, lapping the heatsink which was very uneven, repasting the CPU to the heatsink, latest driver. This allowed me to up the TDP to 20-25W and keep good temps and get the most out of the machine.

I just stumbled across this video and it's great! I find stuff like this interesting. I'm curious, what microscope are you using?

One Netbook mini laptops have existed for a while. You should check out their other models like Mix 3, Mix 4. GPD brand also got their small laptop line up.

Can you do a video with this being on a egpu for us, I've been looking at this for on the go gaming and was looking at the sonnet breakaway puck with a rx5700 and wondering what gains you can get from the difference of internal, would be great to see, thanks

You are fantastic at ending videos, I laugh every time.

Very cool device! I'm always looking for ultra portable tech too.

How are the side controllers powered if they have no connection to the main laptop? Seems a little awkward if you have to charge them separately.

Does the M.2 slot support a double sided SSD or will it only fit a single sided one?

Watching this with envy while my Dell Mini 9 sits on the desk with me. I was looking at the Magic Ben Mag1, but all of these form factor laptops are unjustifiably expensive.

Great little device. Just subbed too.

Damn no ram slot, I ordered this and was going to attempt to unofficially upgrade the ram to 32gb, good thing I watched this video. Not going to be doing major gaming but casual gameplay.

I got mine off of ebay and ordered the controllers separate ( they sent silver ones that don't match my black mini laptop ). I did no tweaks whatsoever. I installed steam and attached an external ssd and played fallout 76 just fine. I dont know the FPS, I just know it seemed just as good as my ryzen 7 1700 desktop with a gtx 1650 non super.

Probably it will be more convinient to show up the entire exterioir thin, ports, size and then go inside. Switched off because there are too many unnecessary details.

Hey Scott, I recently picked one of these up myself and I was wondering if you could help me identify the SSD in this guy. I see (as you mentioned) that it's branded as a One-Netbook m.2 2242 drive. It appears as though that the socket is "B" keyed. I'd like to upgrade mine to have a 1TB SSD but I'm unable to find any drive that works let alone solely "B" keyed. I've tried M keyed drives, they don't fit. M+B drive will fit but do not register at all. So I'm guessing B keyed only is what is needed but finding those seem to be the tough part.....

Nice tear down. What are the drive specs in the M2 slot? The bios won't recognize my M2 2280/2242 1TB.

Interestingly, the BM706 does appear to be a Bluetooth 4.2 BLE module, which is weird, because the AX201 already provides Bluetooth 5.0 BLE. The second BLE plus the tiny ARM CPU makes me wonder if there's some undocumented functionality going on.

your my savior!!! thank you so much!!!!

I like how you didn't even try to review it from the perspective of anyone who would actually buy it. Pretty sure it was geared toward handheld gaming scenarios where mouse and keyboard aren't a viable option. Also, obviously it's underpowered. It's meant for handheld gaming use cases, not full size laptop use cases. Think a lot of emulation and 2D indie games, not really stuff you'd play with a mouse and keyboard.

Soldered SSD is a hard no.

How do I shut off the back light??

Props on the co.tt domain name! I just happen to be from the lovely islands of Trinidad and Tobago 🤣🤣🤣

I’m surprised you don’t use an ESD strap to ground yourself when opening devices. They never get damaged from static? I’m newer to computer tinkering versus smaller originally designed mobile devices.

I love this

I have the one gx1 pro 5g cellular version. What is the name of the manufacturer of the motherboard, is the pro tpm 2.0 ready, where do I find the 4/5g module to purchase so it can be cellular

I bought the controllers for this model. I never managed to make them work. Out of the box they have driver issues. Windows reporting Code 10 on Bluetooth device. No existing driver on their page and no reply from their support. Returning them.

Holy f**king thermal paste. Even the Verge has standards.

Hello, I found the model below I5 256 go 8go of ram perfectly sufficient, however it was suffering a lot because of Windows defender, I disassembled it and the .... no ssd in the place where it should be ... I don't understand ... it announces FORESEE 256GB SSD 256.0 GB NVM Express PCIe 3.0 x2 | PCIe 3.0 x2 standard NVM Express 1.2 in crystal disk info, and nothing ... Can someone explain to me where I have chances to find the disk ??? thank you for your help traduit par deepl

One day it started smoking when plugged into the charger.

10/10

I hear your brother. My wife says I need professional help but I just think I need another tiny laptop..

why u dont buy gpd pocket 3?) or "one A1"

doom e can be set to 3xxx200 640x480 400x600 in settings in ini file. but the gpu are still the intels best gpu in 1900-2019

Just received one today - defective straight out of the box. The AC adapter rattles inside and does not provide power, the PC itself flakes out if you move the LCD lid - fading, color-shifting, streaks.. A total waste of money.

Never trusted it, straight one the box it felt like it’s backdoored. It waits for you to fill the hard drive before deciding to break

It man for the last 20 years has been my obsession to. O, I've had every one of these d*** things. I just love them. I'm sitting at home right now. Waiting for the new 1 netbook 5. It says it's gonna be delivered today. But it got held up on Friday so I don't know but I love these things. I've never seen one who has the same obsession as me. That's pretty cool my name's frank

Hi Scott, how about GPD Win Max 2 (2022) ? please review that sh*t, I guarantee people here also wanna see d inside of that sh*it so that we can make a conclusion if is it prefer than this one or still d same ?

Not much of a retro gamer, are you Scott? I think the intent of the addon pads is largely meant for more vintage games and emulation. Try installing RetroArch (or RetroBat for a more curated frontend experience) and see how you get on with it. It should be strong enough to drive most Dreamcast, Gamecube/Wii and even PlayStation 2, while easily letting you do the heaviest shaders to enhance the older systems. Is the dpad actually segmented? Because that might be godawful. Anyway, I don't exactly know why you'd get this over a GPD device, especially when those can be had under USD$1K.

Don’t buy , it will break in 1 year. The charger it uses is a clue that it’s not to be trusted.

54 minutes... guess I'll watch this at 2x speed :-D

mini laptop 😀

✌ very good laptop

The oem thermal paste application is so cringe.

Winamp still exists? Fucking hell

TOO EXPENSIVE WILL NOT BUY THEM TINY JUNK FOR MORE THAN $300
