@@Jaindike from experience i can attest it's not good for anything. hardware unboxed videos skipped to the end do the same thing but better in every way. in your case i think just running normal benchmarks is better, like cinebench and such.

3:07 DUUUUUDE! I think we are BOTH daily driving the same laptop!!!! (Im typing this on it, by the way!). You have a way bigger channel than mine, and the fact that you have stuck to this trusty Acer validates my decision to begin my YT journey with it. Scrappy little laptops.
Ayyy that's a pretty cool coincidence. Now I use it mainly for school, but definitely upgrade the ram to 16gb if it isn't already. Also checked out the channel and I like it
@@Jaindikethat’s great! Thanks! I actually run mine at 24Gb (mismatched ram, I know, but it’s what I had around). In fact, my most recent video is showing how to remove stripped screws on a laptop heatsink, precisely on that laptop. I wanted to clean old and apply new thermal paste, but the screws were stripped. It took more effort than expected, but I managed it! Cheers and keep up the good work
I found a X555BA in the trash just the other week, it was i pretty great condition except for the battery being dead and the plastic around the hinge not really staying on very well. Difference is mine is a stoney ridge (that's one module with two cores) with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD. It's very funny to have a PC where the SSD is bottlenecked by CPU.
@jaindike if you opened it and cleaned it, you should have added the ram (and maybe the SSD ) and do us quite good justice, watching also you make the laptop perform at its' best. yes people are shit and sold it with just the soldered 4gb and an empty slot and quite some good potential was wasted ... because 40 dollars cheaper when new ... in the future maybe you continue the 10$video with the extra 30$ or less ... that will be your real shine
Also another tip there is a cutdown version of windows called Tiny 11 which only uses 8gbs of storage 2gb of ram and can work with low end systems your next best bet is low end linix distro s like mint or pop os or you could go for a even lower end one when it comes too ram you should see if you can expand the memory if so add another 4gb of ddr3 note buy two 4gb sticks cuase they might not work with the one in the laptop
Personally, I'm not a big fan of windows 11, and I doubt it'd be supported on this hardware. I think ill run win 10 lite or another cut down version. Also I believe there's 4gb soldered, with an open ram slot that can take another 8gb
If you think your graphics score should be better (I don't know the gpu's capabilities off hand, maybe it's already using the correct gpu for games,etc), First check the bios if you can disable the igpu then I suggest installing AMD Radeon software version 19.11.1 (disable Windows hardware updates), I believe that is the last Radeon graphics software version that had a "switchable graphics tab" in the settings. Your laptop has dual graphics, a weaker igpu and a faster discrete graphics. I believe AMD thought Windows could automatically assign tasks to the correct gpu so they removed that option from the Radeon software in newer versions. It's Windows, So guess how that went.. Nvidia still has the option in their control panel.
@@Jaindike well, it could, but now it's banned as a source due to it's testing bias towards 1-4 cores of a cpu. There are other ways to test, but I see it being not fast due to needing separate programs/browser tabs.
3:04 that's a lot of K-On Stuff, love it
idk how I feel about seeing userbenchmark now
Yeah.. I know it's controversial, but imo it's good for low end stuff. Just not good for building a gaming system

I blocked them from showing up in search engines using uBlacklist.

Solid find. Never thought I'd hear "the ssd bottlenecked by cpu" lol

the cpu has integrated graphics and the fs1 socket is fairly upgradeable. $50 and that would be a good laptop

Idk man tiny 11 works on really old hardware but yea just make sure the ram you buy works with your system
Aka laptop
@@Jaindike plus tiny 11 uses way less cpu power than most other forks of windows edit there is tools you can use to make your own version of tiny 11
I am here for me attendance 🙋
Good video btw
Glad you liked it
Yeah, this one definitely needs another ram stick, at least.
Oh fs
hi @Jaindike and everyone else!
can it run hearts of iron 4's no step back dlc though?
In looking at the specs online, I'm not sure. But I'll test it next time around
Would like to see part 2 with everything upgraded
Low key I think I lost the laptop
That's unfortunate man.@@Jaindike
@@RaffyART1995 not unfortunate, just no interest ... he can't grow a channel with this half-way attitude, and also liking ignorant messages here
My guess why the igpu is seen as two is likely a driver bug speaking of drivers you should see update there is no community driver sadly
Ooh thats a good idea. Definitely using that when I upgrade this laptop
Does it have dual channel RAM? I'd like to see an upgrade follow up for sure.
I believe there's currently 4gb soldered on, with an empty slot thar can take up to 8gb

Ooh didn't know that, when I revisit this laptop I'll be sure to. Thanks
This charger was from a Romanian man (Balkan country)
Bruh finally man jk
Lol
userbenchmark is garbage
Yes, for intel vs amd comparisons. Its fine as a reference point for this specific PCs relative performance against identical models
