A Full HD IPS Laptop for $160?? YES! - (NOT CLICKBAIT)

[AlexTheGreatish]

The Fusion5 Laptop offers a pretty amazing screen... and nothing else.

 

Buy an IPS monitor

Or if you're hungry now, buy Hot Pockets on Amazon: http://geni.us/oAAd

CANCEROUS THUMB NAILS 

CLICKBAIT

 

[Guest]

making clickbait titles and videos for the past year and expect us to believe this vid is non clickbait

Sometimes I forget Floatplane is a thing and it makes me think I'm losing my mind having already seen a video.

[Daniel644]

when your channel has so much clickbait you have to LABEL a video NOT CLICKBAIT you should really rethink your channels direction.

[ProjectBox153]

TL;DR, it's not very good. 

[TechSquidTV]

I remember one of those big channels on youtube, I forget what it was even about but i clicked it ONLY because it said "Not Clickbait" wel.. I was taken for a fucking ride. This video with millions of views had NOTHING to do with title. So in short, didn't read OP's post.

A lot better than the Anti-RGB video you guys made from yesterday. 

[Streetguru]

So you guys are going to review the cheap windows tablets with 1200p IPS displays next right? $80 USD

This would make for a very techy wheel chock, but worthless for anything else.

Yea it's rubbish... but it does bring up the question I've had for the past 3 years... Seriously Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS?! Why the fuck is practically every god damn laptop under $1500 CAD come with a peasant grade 720P display regardless of screen size? It's been 7 years since my sibling bought his Acer Aspire that came with a 1366x768 screen. He's is currently looking for a replacement and wondered why are there still little to no inexpensive 1080P options. The price difference between the two panels is probably a matter of pennies.

 

In the same time period, Apple has been pushing out larger screen resolutions on their MacBook lines all while keeping pricing consistent with previous generations (with the exception of the latest MacBook Pro). This back to school season is just paving the way for the MacBook Air thanks to its lower sticker price and albeit not 1080P, but larger resolution display. 

 

And while I'm on the subject, Lenovo if you're trying to sell me a $1300 ThinkPad X270 with 4 GB of RAM and a 720P display? You can fuck right off because no one is going to be doing any serious productivity with that pile of crap. I could care less about how rugged (not really anymore) it is and all the security features it holds as you're not going to be doing much anyways with 4GB of RAM and 720P for it to matter anyways.

bruv did you drop another one of these turds. what did you expect from a $160 laptop you couldve easily gotten a lenovo think centre with a good specs for that price.

"Turn off tap to sleep but then why even have a power button." Besides the obvious "Hurr Durr to turn it off silly" i'm actually going to that has more to do with Windows. Mac's have had power buttons right above backspace for YEARS now but no one cares. Why? Because to get the laptop to sleep you have to press and hold it for 1-2 seconds and then realest to get it to sleep. Just tapping it does nothing. Hold it longer and you get the popup to sleep, restart, shutdown, and cancel. Hold down even longer and it hard shuts off. That's how you should make a power button work on laptops IMO.

I am guessing that they built everything but the display as cheap as possible. thus likely includes using the metal backing of the keyboard, as a heatsink for the CPU.

They likely then used the cheapest ABS for the body, the cheapest possible membrane keyboard, and possibly even speakers that would normally be usedon a budget smartphone.

 

This is pretty much why you often see budget netbooks having a crappy display. If someone is doing basic stuff like typing a document, they can probably live with a 1366x768 display that is horribly calibrated. But they likely can't do without at least a usable keyboard.

 

I currently use a few netbooks for various tasks. since many of them can have a sub 3 watt total system power draw  while typing a document, or even drop to sub 2 watt if the screen is closed/ off. They are useful for tasks which do not require much CPU horsepower.

 

For example, I will often use them with a USB 3 hub and then will use 2 external in order to image the drive before popping them into an old PC to do a level 4 spinrite scan of a drive.

 

If on the go and I need to fix issues on someones system, it is good to have a cheap system that Ii don't have to be as worried about, especially since I can completely wipe it and restore a backup image when I get back home.

 

Form my experience with super low end (Lenovo s21e), the default windows 10 config will lead to a poor experience, as windows 10 is more memory hungry than windows 7, so it will immediately begin using the pagefile with most tasks, and that is on super slow eMMC memory.

 

It is pretty much required that you disable all unneeded startup items and services. you should also disable all unnecessary effects/ animations on the UI, as that increases the memory usage of the UI. If done right, you can have most basic applications installed, as well as a virus scanner if needed., and have windows 10 using around 700MB of RAM.

 

If you are able to get windows 7 installed, a cleaned startup can get memory usage down to a little under 250MB of RAM used.

 

Windows 7 on a netbook is quite usable and far more responsive than windows 10, though it is difficult to get drivers for everything.

 

I wish there was more competition in this area, as they are good, especially since people are less likely to mug you for a netbook.

I can tell if the not click bait title is ironic, so if it's not:

 

You have hit a new low, LMG.

[Sauron]

It's nice to finally have good screens at ultra low prices, although if I had that budget I'd probably buy a used or refurbished laptop instead.

[iamdarkyoshi]

I used to own a chromebook c720 and I put an IPS display in it. I honestly would prefer it over that laptop because the storage was upgradable and you can run windows on it

Seriously, the few laptops that are under $1000 CAD and have a 1080p IPS display are fucking ULRABOOKS.

I don't want it, but it is the ONLY laptop I am willing to get because it doesn't have 768p TN, or even 1080p TN.

[shadowbyte]

I used to have a Toshiba Chromebook 2, which was brilliant, as it had a 1080p IPS panel, fantastic speakers, a good keyboard, and pretty good internals for a chromebook (4gb of RAM and a quad core Pentium). I stuck Linux on it, and it was a fantastic machine for 250 dollars.

This is unbox therapy level crap

I'd would really like to see LTT look at some of the more reasonable laptops and tablets you can get direct from china. I bought a surface clone direct from china and its pretty good but it would have been nice to know before hand about the short comings it has. Nobody is reviewing these products so you never know if they only look good on paper and they aren't exactly easy to return. The chinese mech keyboard round up was great and directly led to me replacing my old membrane keyboard with one.
