Lenovo likes hiding screws under the glued on feet at the bottom of the laptop. That's probably why you couldn't get it open lol.
Same with HP.
Every manufacturer does that!
@@ernstoud And almost all laptops are also having warranty stickers covering one of the screws, so it's preventing any possible upgrades without voiding the warranty, especially in the laptop that's offering fully upgradable RAM and storage slot
@@ernstoud not asus
At least it has screws ,Microsoft
Reminds me of my Lenovo 100e, those were selling for $99 in 2019. Wasn't fast but it sure did the job and survived everything. Sat in a car for 8 months through both summer and winter, got thrown around, went with me on several road trips and plane rides, got dropped pretty hard from a good height. Only broke when someone ran it over with a car 3 years after I got it.
Can't really complain for $99
do you play catch with your laptop dude
how did it got ran over wtf
i'm reading this with a 100e
I recently bought a 100e for around $70 after taxes. It's a good chromebook if you have extra storage with it and if you don't overload the memory.
what on God's green earth kind of torture have you been putting that poor laptop through?
"This laptop puts out less warmth than the soul of an Nvidia exec".
Holy FUCK that was savage
It made me thankful I was not taking a big gulp from some drink before that line. Pure gold and timing (relative to today's date) impeccable.
I was literally about to comment the same thing.... fucking savage
GOTTEM!
I was hanging out, almost not listening with this in the background doing two things at once and was like, DAYUM. 🤣😂🤣
Love the shade
Wait a touch screen for a $100. That's actually insane. This is so worth it
And just where the fuck did he get it for 100$, on every retailer or even their website it's above 400.
yeah it is of no use you can get a normal laptop from dell or hp for 300$ which will last you very long
@@moonlaid2689 Dell sucks in the Us, and Canada... and South Korea... And well, everywhere to be honest lol. Never buy a dell or alien-ware made PC, their practically a waste of money.
HP is actually really really good, their gaming laptops like the Pavilion 15 gaming laptop is AMAZING value for the money spent, I've had mine for almost 3 years and it still fast and good or gaming.
Weather you get a laptop, desktop, HP or another brand make sure you pick out one that has a CPU made by AMD. Intel made CPU's are slower, run hotter, and as a result of running hotter they will slow down and die sooner. Avoid newer Intel's if you can, ESPECIALLY if your looking for a laptop.

@@RefractArt thats for the one with windows this ones a chromebook
The impressive thing is that it comes with both a keyboard and a touch screen and it is easily turned into a tablet by flipping. Those features alone would probably inflate a macbook's price for about a kidney and half a liver.
I mean a MacBook is also 40x more powerful and runs a real os so it’s price makes sense
real os is debatable 🤣. I use one for work and it's annoying af

Damn, that's actually pretty cool. I wouldn't have a reason to buy one of these now of course, but if this existed at this price back when I was in middle school, I would have been one happy kid.
im using the laptop as I watch the vid
For the issue disassembling it, there are screws under the rubber feet strips. I found that in a HP laptop and it gave me a run for my money.
i guess you have to buy a gaming laptop if you want easy access to the inside without taking off the feet or pulling a void warranty sticker
Damn, $99 chromebooks have gotten way better than 5 years ago when I got one! Mine was a 10 inch screen, keyboard that felt bad, touchpad that felt bad, no touchscreen, no tablet mode, etc...
Yeah my first one back in 2018 was the Acer R13 which was already "affordably premium" for the price.
But not a total surprise given how Chromebook marketshare is growing even faster than Macbooks. 👌
arm is doing good things to Chromebooks. they can put more money in better components because the cpu and SOC is more "cheap"
@@HQbaracuda the good old Asus. i have a aspire one netbook rocking antix Linux. works pretty well
@@diegomillan2806 I think you mean Acer, not Asus.
lots more competition
I have a slightly older Celeron-based Lenovo Chromebook very similar to this. One of the first things I did was set up the built-in linux VM and get Shovel Knight running in Steam. It was 100% playable, which might not SOUND impressive, but you have to remember that it's a 2D game using cleverly hidden 3D assets. I'm amazed that it even launched in that environment. On top of that, it had 4k60hz video out over USB-C on BOTH PORTS.
Find the right chromebook and you have yourself a very capable little box for light tinkering, media playback and probably even linux server applications. Not a bad alternative to a raspberry pi considering their current asking price.
bro when i was 11 (I think) I just used crouton for a linux chroot to play minecraft. That was 7 ish years ago.
wait with celeron? i have ideapad duet 3 with celeron but for daily taksts and you tube works horoble how is possible to have better performance in android?
@@ototurmanidze5578 the web takes much more ram due to it being for all purposes. Android apps are closer to native performance.
do not underestimate the celerons, i was playing 60fps oblivion with those 6 years ago
@@ototurmanidze5578 the problem is Windows. Too much processing is used for bloatware inside the system
Hey guys I just bought this exact model, the delivery came 30 mins ago.
First of the screen is much brighter than I expected, hell only slightly less bright than my 13 mini. Viewing angle is phenomenal.
The keyboard and touchpad feels extremely good.
The built quality is superb on every inches.
Now it’s updating, I’ll let you know about the day to day performance and speakers once it’s done.
Bought it for $210 not $100 but still is a bargain.
Speakers are nothing to write home about but plenty loud and very very decent.
For day to day task it’s just a little bit sluggish but very doable. As long as I can use Canva it’s good.
The only gripe is it’s a lil bit on the heavy side, still comfortable tho.
Overall, 11/10 for the price.
is it laggy and all?
@@andrewjiaxinchen4925 for what I do I would say not really, I do very simple tasks like browsing, watching UA-cam, Netflix, sometimes editing on Canva etc. It’s by no mean fast but it’s not laggy. One advice is: use the UA-cam app but the web Netflix. Using UA-cam app is much snappier but Netflix app has worse video quality.
Were you able to find an active stylus that works with it?
@@sruthi2708 unfortunately it doesn’t have pen support.

I actually bought that laptop and took it with me on a business trip. I only needed it to do web based invoice type stuff and it did well. It runs similar to my Lenovo Duet, I believe it's a similar if not the same processor.

I've been using Lenovos for about 10 years. I love them. The keyboards are fantastic, build quality is good, and they last forever. I still fire up my 2400 dollar think pad from 2014 sometimes and it honestly still works just fine.
Mine isn't. It is an L470 from 2018 and worked fine until the keyboard went haywire and does odd things. Keys like caps and alt work on and off among other things. I have spent hours on proposed solutions offered and on updating everything I could think of. All to no avail.

Fun fact, the emmc Lenovo likes to use is pretty infamous for cooking itself due to poor cooling so you have to replace the entire internal board. I have a Lenovo 14" chromebook on its 3rd board already showing signs its about ready to cook.
Maybe getting some kind of metal cooler on it will help? Some strip of copper or something glued down? A whacky job but maybe better than going through main boards continuously.
Any way to prevent that?

That is crazy for $100. I'm always most interested in how Chromebooks could be made to run more useful OS's though :)
Search for galliumOS
I worked fixing chromebooks in highschool and sometimes it is common for the keyboard to open as opposed ti the back (making for easy keyboard/track pad replacements) maybe that's why you weren't able to access it?
I worked for a manufacturing company that had like 300 chromebooks and one or two of them were just like this Lenovo. They ran so much better than the other ones!! One annoying kid there actually got the administrator password and constantly played asphalt on it lol
I went from watching a LTT video about one of the most powerful laptops available on the market today...
to this.
Not disappointed.
same lol
these low-tier education workhorses are the unsung heroes of the computer market
Is there a laptop that can survive literally everything even being thrown into a giant volcano.
These are great computers for someone who doesnt need a computer to be super capable. I have a chromebook at my shop that I use to tune cars and motorcycles and I love it. I never think twice about touching my chromebook with dirty hands since it cost me a total of $45 brand new (on sale), and it does everything I need it to. I dont have excel or word or anything on it, just a few tuning programs and it works fantastic for the price.

I was able to score a 17" Chromebook for about $100 from Best Buy on a liquidation sale. It's not bad for the money.
Lenovo's Thought-Pad laptops (Thinkpad, Ideapad, etc.) are great machines though they always seem to lack in certain areas and excel in others, most of the time it's budget CPU and GPU options for obvious reasons assorted in with great features like the keyboard or camera quality. The Thought-pads that are equipped with something like a Duo Core or Celeron and running integrated graphics are usable but I wish that basic models just had a little more to offer sometimes.
Any ThinkPad basic model nowadays (2017+) is decent. Source: Someone who owns a thinkpad 💀
The only thing I would advise staying away from is the ideapads, they're usually terrible
@@naxzed_it Yes, I agree although I've never used an IdeaPad to find out, I simply believed Lenovo kept the fundamentals of various ThinkPad models in spirit. I can also imagine that Lenovo takes the basic models more seriously since 2017. My thoughts from earlier were made by experience with used Brickpads built 2015 or older, I suppose it's safe to assume that older basic models don't have much offer anyways unless it had a faster processor, such as an i5 or i7.
Lenovo have by far the best build quality for the price, got an ideapad in 2019 for around £300 that was solid metal. You never find that at that price point! Dell and Lenovo are definitely the best in the field. They've had a long run of it I guess 😅
I've had my issues with Lenovo laptops in the past, but the keyboards are typically way better than similarly priced alternatives. Super subjective, but I think they do a great job there. Thanks for the video!
Subjective yes, I could not stand typing on the Lenovo L480 school laptop I had. Got fatigue instantly and couldn't finish even shorter hand-ins and had to do most work at home on my desktop after school.
Note that I used a 12 year old dell keyboard haha

6:05 Excuse me. What you're referring to as "game mode" is, in fact, actually called "experience". This is because Roblox is not a game. It is a game engine and a game hosting platform. if you refer to roblox experiences as "game modes" ever again i am going to show you the beauty of my basement.
Chromebooks really are great little laptops. I got a 14" 1080p model for under $250, and it's my go-to device for browsing the internet and watching youtube while lounging around the house/in bed.
At that price point Chromebooks just don't make any sense for me. As you can get a refurbished (condition good to even as good as new if you hunt) ThinkPad T470 with a i5-7400u, 8gb DDR4 RAM, 14 inch Full HD matt screen, 256gb NVMe SSD, a battery life of about 3-4 hours browsing and you get the ThinkPad experience of good amount of ports, a hot swappable battery (for 70-90$ you can easily get another 6-8 hours), good upgrade ability and the nice mouse knob thingy for typing without any interuption.
@@mrclean3088 thinkpads are overrated and overpriced. you can get used 12th gen oled ultrabooks for less. maybe 8 years ago, advice is outdated.
its literally a LENOVO DUET 3 and duet 5......just in laptop form. lol in which, i have the duet 5. and can emulate: PS1,PSP, GB, GBC, GBA, NES SNES perfectly fine no issues.
PS2 can start games, but frame rate issues... it stutters.
GameCube stutters here and there (not as much as ps2) but you can get gaming done.
my xbox controller Bluetooth perfectly everytime i turn it on.
and GFN runs amazing on it. considering its not using your native specs and its streaming. so as long as your wifi connection is solid, your gaming will be amazing!
I was slightly disappointed that you didn't try running Crysis on it, that would have been a useful benchmark.
This is an amazing value! Im watching this on the duet 5
Man, that's basically a mobile phone in a laptop form factor.
this is the kind of computer you'd get for a kid that really wants a computer but theyre not old enough to have any real use for it yet
Reminds me of the netbooks back in the windows XP-Vista era. They were normally powered by the Intel atom and costed anywhere from $200-$400
I still have one of those, only mine wasn't marketed as a netbook cause it cost well above the normal price range. The Vaio P.
Still had the atom and was barely able to run Vista/Win7 but it did pep up when I swapped out the little 1.8" HDD for an SSD, and the screen had a really high pixel density, best part was I could fit it in my jacket pocket.
"it does feel like we're gaming on a casio digital watch" that was a good savage comment about chromebooks
The fact that this thing is just $99 makes you wonder about smartphone prices these days.
It's also way worse than most smartphones today
@@cckiller4378 fr chromebooks are shit
$99 laptop has got a touch screen? Wow!!
I dont recall seeing it in the video, this is a Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, Best Buy near me has them for $119, marked down from $179. Not a bad deal, but the screen resolution is 1366 x 768 (HD), not ideal, but at this price who cares?? Would be fine for watching Dawid videos, but I cannot imagine trying to do any gaming on this. Would be a real steal if it had a 1080 display.
thank you!
1:42 you know what else is massive?
I bought a brand new Lenovo chrome book a few months ago for $70 bucks. I use it to play stadia games. I attached an usb game pad and works pretty nice.
Well good luck with that because Stadia is shutting down. Lol. Another failed Google product to add to the list. You can get refunds for any games you purchased thou so there is that.
@@ScaryClown338 yup unfortunately… I will see if my game data can be export it so I don’t have to start from cero in another platform
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon I’m watching on only cost $25!
Less than a $100? What could go wrong? Ugh, a ChromeBook! Screws are probably under the rubber bumper.
now, 179 bucks. still not a bad deal. still cheapter to get used / refurbished lenovos w/ touch screen (14")
They have had some screaming deals. I got my father a 15.6" CB from BB during Back to School sales and it is great. $129 and runs like a champ for the basics that he does.
I then stepped up for a slightly better one with more ram, more storage and a 17.3" screen and it is great. Enabled linux, threw on VS Code, Thonny, and Geany for playing with front end dev as well as python and it works great too. That did cost me a whopping $189 down from $389 regular price.
Chromebooks are so great for most people and, less you are AAA gaming, likely all people less you need some specific app that won't run under a windows VM or doesn't have a linux version.
That one has too small of a screen for my use but it I was just road dogging it and needed to check in now and then with emails or update a spreadsheet or bang out a document, that would be pretty solid option for sure.
If someone was just a chrome user and does everything in chrome, they are the best machines. Lose it or it breaks simply go to Walmart, Best Buy, etc. buy another one turn it on, log in and within a few moments it will be setup just like the one that you just lost or broke. No trying to find install disks or some install file for a program you used. No settings to try to remember from your previous machine, etc. They all come over - part of the reason that I got my dad one.
Plus, if have a Windows, Mac, or Linux machine at home or in the office that you need to access for a program or work related emails that you don't forward you can use the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Works great and even when a machine at home gets reset from a forced windows update when you aren't home the Chrome RDT survives a full reset or power down and power up cycle. When you connect after a situation like that you just start off at the standard Windows Login screen (assume Mac and Linux are this way too). If you have your home or office PC's bios set to power back on after a power outage then you will never be without your other tools on your other computers. I've used my CB to tunnel into my home machine for 3D CAD work, coding, etc.
Just great tools and not really much you can do on them, especially with linux enabled. Well, that and don't quite go as low-end as this one if you want to play around with gaming or heavy programs in linux. But if you just need media access and emails or to connect to a home or office machine via remote connection - great way to go.
Usually for ARM based Chromebook's you have to take out the keyboard to access the internals. Just a tip for the future.
that's a tech tip
The cool thing with these cheap arm based machines is that they handle video codecs very well, which can't be said for most cheap x86 processors.
So for that alone it is a very interesting product for basically no money.
But 3x basically no money gets you a Laptop with Windows 10, upgradeabe 256gb SSD, upgradeable 8gb of ram, 15.5'' IPS display and a 5500U, which will hold up much longer and is much better to use out of the box. No touchscreen though
You were mentioning about how with chromebooks it is possible to have such small power bricks, I have an ASUS Vivobook with an 11th gen i7, OLED and the power cord has a square at the end the plugs into the wall and nothing but a cord to go to my laptop. The laptop is a very nice one and is speced really good as well.
Take the lil sticky feet off to find the screws
IDK how there are people that don't get the sarcasm; I'm autistic and even *I* get it.
Most autistic people are very intelligent. Consider how stupid the average "normal" person is... and then consider that half of them are even dumber than that!
If only someone would make an actual high-end device that's running an arm processor maybe we can kill off x86 finally?

One of the older variants of this made a MEAN Linux machine for some developers I know a few years back. If you're the type of weird who writes low-level hardware code and compiles stuff on servers... you can get insane battery life out of these on an extremely lightweight custom install!
i got the 14 inch lenovo touchscreen for 70 bucks with 32 gb /4gb ram from best buy brand new on sale
I keep a cheap used Asus Chromebook I got like 5 years ago for nothing because it needed a battery (which actually was more expensive than expected). But I love having it for traveling for a wifi touchpad keyboard internet machine nobody will (want to)steal. It more than paid for itself after an airport flight mishap and I needed to find another flight asap in the terminal. Never could have done that on a phone- AND the battery life is phenomenal I guess because the CPU/iGPU so weak? Is it possible to install Linux on that and then Steam? Might be fun to try some old PC games that Steam now supports on Linux.
If it's intel or AMD then sure. The steamdeck has made the linux/steam combo a lot more compatible fairly quickly.
the eMMC storage will hold most chromebooks back and gives them a fairly short lifespan if the storage gets used much tho.
For about 3 years back when I was in high school, I used a 2GB ram 16GB emmc intel chromebook as my main device. Stuck Ubuntu on it and used to play counterstrike source all the time. If you get an intel model and take Chromeos off they make great netbooks.
My favourite video category: cheap hardware pushed to it's limits. Love you David 💕
and of all things they chose MEDIATEK LMAO
The size of it (And cost) kinda reminds me of the little Asus eee pc laptop I had years ago. Which weirdly enough was pretty cool, in my opinion despite it being pretty lacking in just about every other aspect ha.
I had one with XP on it. Terrible experience. But I wish I had it back to try me some Linux on it to see if I could make it useable.
I grabbed this a month or so ago from Best Buy and love it - it handles a decent amount of Android games well and the screen is tremendous given the price point and how garbo a lot of cheap Chromebook screens are.
What kind of laptop is that
Wow, that's not bad at all. For kids for school or beginners this would be amazing. Honestly this would probably be great for my mom who's not great with tech.
Cool. I'm in the market for 2 new Chromebooks for 2 of my kids. I was thinking about ARM based because of Roblox. Going by your video that's a lot better than their current Celeron based Chromebooks.
Don’t go for chromebooks unless your budget is really tight or your kids need it for school. Celerons for gaming are really bad because it has terrible cpu bottlenecking. I would recommend a modern intel laptop for gaming or amd if you can get two for a good price. Spending a little more for a better 60 fps experience is better
@@Aceofspadez963 They're talking about kids... two of them. I doubt they're worried about getting a proper 60+ FPS experience and just going more for "It works well enough and doesn't cost an ARM and a leg".
Wow , this Chromebook has the good (old) style of lid hinges that are vastly superior to nearly all (since 2007) modern laptops (incl. Macbooks) ... very impressive , it should be standard again
SOooo..... Whats it called
Idk but link in description
I have computers that are 15 years old that could run circles around this thing specs wise. Why people buy these low power netbooks and chromebooks is beyond me because you could get a way better computer for free or super cheap.
Bestbuy does have a windows 10 HP laptop for $99 as well. Has the same specs (4Gb ram and 64gb emmc). It comes with windows 11 S, but can be switch to non s version easily. I bought one, a couple months ago. Not for gaming (unfortunately), but for work. It is decent.

I think if you can install Linux on it, you can consider it a laptop. Linux has box86 or (box64 if needed), you might be able to get some pc games running on it. Some work on raspberry pi.
Yeah, I would be curious to see this aspect visited.
What's with all the one handed attempts to open the laptop? It's obviously not a MacBook, so why do people expect this? Even Luke Miani did the same thing on a cheap Windows laptop. That's not how they make most laptops.

@@megan_alnico true but also not true, those Apple chips don't cost that much more to produce. Man thinking about, since they no longer need to kickback to intel but still sell for the same prices their margins went from ridiculous to stupendous, there is a harry potter joke in there somewhere but you get the gist
I know a lot of people dunk on chromebooks, but I've loved mine so much.
Like, I have a proper desktop at home. If I'm not at home, I'm not doing intensive work. There are people who need a powerful computer on the go - I am not among them. Having a rugged device which just *works* is the most important thing for me. Battery life & durability are things that chromebooks are really good at, because they're often education grade (meant to survive being handled by children). I mean, it also means they're cheap, but I couldn't afford an expensive laptop anyways.
MacBooks don't cost $8,000 either. They only cost $6,000. I am very triggered that you said $8,000 because I have no sense of humor. reeeeeeeeeee

Just fairly recently bought locally a slightly used 14" HP laptop for a whole $50 US dollars. Specs of the laptop from the factory is Ryzen 3 3300U with Vega 6 GPU, 4GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home.
Got it cheap cause the owner who had it dislike how darn slow it ran reason for that was the limited RAM it had. Ended up upgrading the memory in the laptop to 32GB and replaced the 1TB HDD with a SSD. Now the laptop boots up in 12 seconds and launches software quick. The best part yes the thing is capable of playing games at 60 FPS perhaps not triple AAA games.
gg no reeee
My old laptop bricked so I sold it for parts and bought a X220 ThinkPad for £80, having 8gb of ram and a 128 GB SSD, it's quick! It's been many months and I've felt almost no need to upgrade from my "temporary solution", only upgrading the battery and adding a double-usb 3.0 express card (though the fact these are possible are advantages in themselves for a modern laptop!)
Now $160.. thank you Joe Biden.
Because profiteering companies who price gouge in an unregulated market have nothing to do with it. It is all caused by an incompetent, dementia suffering old man who can't figure out how to tie his own shoes who is, somehow, single-handedly masterminding global price increases across the board to line the pockets of Fortune 500 executives who donate billions of dollars to his political rivals.
Makes perfect sense.

Just a note that “different game modes” isn’t an accurate description of what you’re playing on Roblox. They’re standalone games made by separate people. Thanks for the video!
the celerons struggle because they're usually only dual core whereas this MT soc is 8 core.
Misconception there, a celeron n4000 is a dual core that is faster than the Mediatek mt8183 8 core in webxprt 3, mozilla kraken 1.1 and octane v2 (notebookcheck scores). More cores only mean more performance for multithreaded applications(usually intensive applications). In almost all everyday applications that is likely to be run on low end laptops, eg web browsing, the n4000 is faster.
Remember the OLPC (one laptop per child) attempt to make a laptop for $100 back in 2005?
Fyi, there's screws under the keypad, it has to come off to get access. It's just clipped in around the keypad
Try using it with 8gb of virtual ram. Because it could actually be worth it for some people. I use virtual ram and my chromebook runs minecraft java at decent graphics
Best advantage this laptop has is the touchscreen, and any small form factor laptop with such small keyboard/touchpad and very limited USB ports.
They gave these out in university at one point, but the tablet version with a detachable keyboard.
Hated these. but it was fun trying.
The best thing about this, is your awesome music track at the end. Where did you get that?
No, not all tape is tamper evident tape, because if i was your delivery person, i could remove regular tape, steal your laptop, put a brick in the box, and tape it up again. In fact, that is what i do, once a month on my delivery route, and my boss just thinks I'm incompetent and lose things, and amazon just mails out a second box of panties. Its a win-win, except when its a box of panties, because I'm a man.
I used a chromebook for a long time, and it was mainly for school work and stuff. It works so well that I consider that laptop to be a better laptop than the other laptops I've seen and used, not just for the price, but it's capabilty.
Other than battery life, I find chromebook (at least my Lenovo 10e) to be severely limited. I'd rather than get an old Thinkpad.
@@wgemini4422 Especially ThinkPad with Windows 7 would we awesome. Win 7 runs very smooth.
