      Hello Guys, sorry for the late reply. I must say that the gemibook handles my task decently, I mostly just do basic coding and play old games like cs 1.6, and warcraft. It is not advisible to game with famous titles right now like valorant as it will frame drop in gunfight the laptop is not as powerful as today's standard specs like i3 gen12 but it will do just fine with social media, doing documents and etc. Just put your expectation lower than expected as it is the cheapest laptop out there with this specs. No upgradability whatsoever but hey it is reliable for me as a student.

    I've always preferred a more matt screen as having screen glare is horrendous. I also like the 16:9 aspect ratio. The lack of external ports is a downside but all in all it looks pretty good and for the first time in a long time we now have a budget end Intel processor that does what you would want it to.

    why do you consider 16:9 ratio as a con?? All my past laptops (and my current tablet) has either a 16:9 or 16::10 screen. No problems whatsoever...
    I don't understand how is it supposed to be smaller just bcoz its 16:9.
    Did I miss a memo or something?

    • @TeamPandory
      @TeamPandory  11 місяців тому

      If it had a larger screen, say a 15.6 or 17, then 16:9 would be okay.
      With a smaller 13 or 14 inch display, having 16:9 makes the screen feel far smaller, and you have less useable space to work in than if it were 3:2.

      @TeamPandory  10 місяців тому

      Graphics design, it really depends on what packages you use. If it's for 2D design, you should generally be safe though. Gemibook Pro is an older processor, and on Windows 10- avoid that. Go for the Gemibook XPro, Gemibook Plus (same, with a larger display and more I/O), or if you want more power and a nice 3:2 aspect ratio, try the CoreBook X. Seriously, if I was to grab a laptop now, that'd be the one. 3:2 makes a HUGE difference when it comes to laptops. Makes your screen feel much larger than it really is.

      For coding it should be perfect.
      I've personally been using this one every day for the past year, but to think that ANY laptop will last multiple years (4 or more) is wishful thinking as the battery usually snuffs it and then you'll be tethered to the power outlet. "how many years can I use this" - depends on what you do with it. Sorry, that's a question that's impossible to give an answer to.

      @@kevinfox9535 many see the Celeron chips as the weak sauce variant of the main intel series.. this is on the budget side, but it's not a "Celeron"... Thing is, there are a vast range of processors and it does it a disservice to say all i7 chips are good, or all Celerons are bad.
      The n100 chip in this laptop has similar CPU performance to an earlier i5-4570 or there abouts. Mostly coding requires ... Notepad ? And then CPU power to compile, which should be fine using a n100 CPU... But then we're back to the question, what exactly are you programming ?

      I don't use AutoCAD. If there's a few version with a way to benchmark, I can give it a shot though

    Is it good for gta 5?

      @TeamPandory  10 місяців тому

      It can play it at low quality settings, but it can't really stick out a full 60fps. Please check the other game test videos we've done with the Intel N100 to give you an idea.
