- No, it can't run Linux, Python or even Vim... at least it mimics the look of Scratch. Can this "laptop" be a good source of programming for younger learners? Only one way to find out.

Can i know the watch you are wearing please
@@user-pg6rq5up8n It's Obaku V133GCIMC, although it is a quite old one now. You might be able to find newer models that are similar to the one I have haha

I love how this channel started to found its own identity. It started out as a Korean Dankpods but Korean electronics are truly a different breed.
this channel feels like a meeting point between dankpods and bringus studios... wait that's james channel, anyway, not gonna say no to more stupid electronics in the hands of reckless individuals
gives bringus studios vibes fr
I wanna see this compete against the EEEPeeeeCeeeeee in a nugget-off
EeePeeCee will be a good laptop to port Linux into this laptop!
Dankpods eh?
14:09 Ironically, with those crystal oscillators, this thing could be actually overclocked!
I managed to find a datasheet for the main chip and yes, there are inputs and outputs for two different crystal oscillators. One is a 32kHz, and another a 12MHz one. The second one is most likely responsible for the CPU core clock, it seems to be internally multiplied to 96 MHz which is the advertised "up to" clock speed.
Holy crap! That's a full color LCD right there!
I love how these toys built robust enough to survive children never seem to survive adults playing with them. Shame.
Guess they don't think of people who fumble around with varible power supply and aligator clips (stuff parent keep away from kid)
5:01 I guess depicting anthropomorphic animals smoking their pain away with a bong is just a thing in Korea
What an great "coding" laptop.
It sure gives a great "coding" experience haha
What an great English grammaring
Lol
@@Kimmsitodoes it have VScode
No kidding, they don't even ask the kid to interpret words and guess which shoes the lady wants let alone to distinguish between several pairs of fancy red shoes.
Heck they could be asking you to select a style, color, etc independently or to remove the "wrong" shoes from the lineup.
These people didn't even put in any real effort to teach the basics of variables, logic, etc. You know the simple things that everyone needs to learn.
An 8-bit computer with BASIC would be more educational, albeit not necessarily as entertaining to a small child w/o an adult to help.
a korean youtuber made an entire fucking laptop that can run LoL inside this thing
True but that video gutted out everything with generic PC parts which defeats purpose.
Everything can run DOOM, LoL or anything on it when you replace all of the components into generic PC.
send the link, please i need to see that

the channel name is 뻘짓연구소 and video name is 콩순이 컴퓨터 개조했습니다. 배그 쌉가능. 합성 아님.
@@p4rk5h still looks funny and goofy though
your telling me that in Korea there's a computer toy with full color and animation support based on a Korean children show
meanwhile over here all we have is fake buttons on a fake screen (or black-and-white ones) that plays crappy audio?
wtf... kid me would've love this (especially if it was spongebob theme, kid me loves spongebob)
I know this is trash, but to me with a little sister this is much better than the crap we have, with any computer as good as this being unavailable...
Also can it run doom? Someone needs a doom port!
The LCD Makes it very hackeable
Not every toy is equally bad, but all are attempting to profit from selling you "educational toys".
VTech and LeapFrog both sell a range of products marketed for kids from basic mechanical ones with some sounds and lights to full on tablets.
Back in the 80s and early 90s there where real kids laptops that teached you how to code with good old BASIC. Not that joke.
In fact there was that one computer marketed towards gaming Nintendo manufactured in 1983 called Family Computer which was the one where they Published a Program called Family BASIC which featured a custom version of BASIC by Hudson Soft, Which was also Present in Other Computers at the Time such as the Sharp MZ Series'
Just pushing in too many volts is not "overclocking". That's not even over volting. That's just trying to fry the circuitry.
Can you use circuitry to cook eggs?
@@ssg-eggunner Yes, the simplest setup would be a PCB with nothing but copper traces. But that still leaves food safety concerns. I would not wanna eat from a silk screen, even less if it got that hot. I guess copper is safeish. But I don't know about the other materials.
As a reference see DIY hotplate PCB.
5:01 fox and bird smokeing a bong
Swearing owl represents the user.
can it run doom?
I don't think so 😅
I mean iPod Video can run Doom, so I would say that this might have enough power to run Doom natively in its hardware. But at that point it won't be in its original form haha
@@Kimmsito Oooh!! seriously? 👀
@@Kimmsitotbh I would take a Wolfenstein 92 raycast demo
Korean Dankpods, I see.
Seriously, this is the second time I see your channel in my feed and also being native korean myself, I recognize most of the thing you show on the channel, huge nostalgia train. Especially I had iriver D31/D33 that you've shown at the ending.
Nice work man.
Thank you for sticking around!
Learning HTML, CSS, and Javascript was how I started as well 👍
I am amazed the internal of this is not just "le mystery blob" like every simple electronic post 1990
Kim's painful laughter can be used to dub over a video game final boss' dignified evil laugh and no one will notice.
kinda sad to see that you've instantly killed it by applying more voltage, should've atleast tried to port Linux into thing XD
awesome video, looking forward to see your upcoming video about Tizen OS (if you'll even make one, i just don't think that Samsung's Z-series phones are easy to find)
Maybe I could get a new one and try to port it to Linux later haha, could be a fun project to try and figure out how to break into!
I agree. The LCD Screen makes it very hackeable
Make it run doom
Way better than the vtech "laptop" when i was a kid, you were a little harsh. Great video nonetheless, hope to see more from you!
Some Vtech toys had BASIC built in so probably not 😅
3:00 The owl is for moral support.
A toy computer that teaches kids the basics of coding sounds like a super cool concept.
Is this one of those "PC bangs" I've heard about
When the word "bang" was taken too seriously
I think the coding fairytale if they mimicked scratch it would be more informative and still simpler for kids. Honestly tho it’s such a unique toy I would’ve been so amazed as a child
The Little Red Riding Hood one does resemble Scratch Jr. a little bit, I can't see why they couldn't have done something like that for the other ones.
The little red riding hood puzzles are actually pretty good at teaching kids functions and loops. This laptop just does a lazy job implementing it.
I laughed when bro said "Mr.Wolf you just need a flint and steel", he's cultured
Scratch JR has more capabilities than this entire toy
Stumbled upon your channel around month ago and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, I really like those obscure nuggets, they are so adorable
Glad you like it!
2:03 wierd, you didnt cut the manual in half
Oh yep, that was a missed opportunity. Should have brought the shredder...
it was not over clocking it was overbooming and we passed overbooming
So that's how they sell them now. Back when i was little they would sell them as laptops for learning a second language
12:04 - it briefly went to 4 amps, 40 watts at just over 9 volts - something shorted and died at that point (before the later explosions);
An 8MB ARM running at 100MHz could actually support a full OS and coding environment 😳
I'm glad I found this channel, good luck in the future. Amazing work
I NEVER excpected to see that thumg overclocked. Thats awesome
3 videos in and love that you've embraced being the Korean Dankpods. Can't wait for the next vid
I disagree, everyone should know a basic amount of coding. it's really helpful day to day.
Yeah, i think its good for 2-4 years old kid to learn basic of using mouse and keyboard and some super basic programming logic 😅
I'm disappointed - it doesn't even teach kids to properly commit their "code" to the Git repository - every programmer knows to do that in case something disastrous happens, like someone hooking your machine up to a wrong voltage power supply and releasing the magic smoke.
5 yr old me would have love this
Bro is the Korean dankpods and I love it
Great content, keep going and I'm more than sure that the algorithm will pick you up.
I sort of want my laptop to have a handle like that...
4:05 "I didnt knew things can be enjoyable when coding is added"
so relatable
So we learned that it probably runs on 3.3 volt. And at least in yours the voltage regulation only drops out VERY close to that.
never seem you, or this cheannel. I see a fun modification, laptop toy. I click like and subscribe
Glad you like it!
Imagine you need a laptop for school and your parents bought this😭💀
I want to see someone make one of these things run Doom. It has an ARMv7 chip and enough NAND for it, along with a keyboard, mouse and colour display, Doom absolutely could be made to run on this thing. That's the real coding education you would get out of it.
It really sounds like a great challenge, I'll prepare to work on it!
I need more of this
Fun fact: the "kid programming teaching project" scratch has a scratch emulator made on
And it saves/loads json.
Yeah I've seen that
Scratch has been getting crazy lately thanks to TurboWarp
It looks identical to the Vtech kids laptop from 10 years ago. That unit had a similar size color display, but it was actually a B&W LCD with RGB LEDs that illuminated it in sequence, which looked neat because it had perfect square color pixels without the "screen door" effect of other color LCDs of the time.
your lough is pleasure to hear, sounds so rich!)
Thank you!
wow, i love your videos, I'm waiting for more videos!
You seem like the type of korean person to wear glasses. I say this as a Korean-American myself.
it's so nice seeing u upload lol
finally someone expresses my opinion on that whole push for kids to learn code. it's another industrial skill (that could also be learned as a hobby, but still). Should we teach kids how to weld by snapping lego blocks together? Sure could be an important life skill!
and this opinion is why people nowadays are tech illiterate
@@minerminecrafter464 but like. simply putting blocks together isn't coding. sequencing, yes, but it does not teach "coding" in any reasonable way. using computers in general is a *very important* skill, everyone should know what a folder is and such. yet surprisingly little kids these days do. surely snapping blocks together will help
I may have only a single braincell pierced through a crayon but I agrew
Someone needs to run Doom in this thing
just give kids a shitty Chromebook and teach them scratch that's problem solving, I don't even know what to call this thing...
Love how dankpodd it feels but also very original it is as well
The coding craze you’ve described reminds me a bit of my experience with ICT school classes in early 2000s Russia: apparently knowing HTML was seen as one of the musts in the digital age. At the same time we were taught to program in BASIC or Pascal - depending on personal preferences of each teacher, I guess… what a confusing mishmash.
The concept itself that teaching everyone how to understand programming could be a good idea in theory, just like people learned how to use computers when it was a new thing. It's just a shame that it was never properly executed...
We need to install doom on this thing
i just thought the fox was smoking bong hits LOL.. abnd the profane owl LOL LOL
I don't think it's a terrible product for kids say
for a kids toy, thats still hella better than the Vtechs that still use dot-matrix lcd
Cool concept!😊
i had this thing in my home when i was around 6
twas pretty fun to play with it
The real coding experience begins when you take over that GPLB32610B chip and run custom code on it. It's a pretty powerful chip although can be quirky in a similar way to retro consoles (which arguably is what makes it interesting) and there isn't any public documentations on how to develop for it so one needs to figure it out themselves.
10/10 for fulfilling its "intended use". (jk)
So it's a Zilog 80 on Steroids I guess
I wonder if someone extracted the LCD from such a toy and displayed real visual studio on it
it didnt have RGB thats why its slow
the laptop blew up
i subscribed
Cant wait for the Bringus Studios video, trying to install steamOS on this
i like how creators have to clarify that the video is not "made for kids" because the UA-cam algorithm can force "made for kids"
That's a cool screen, didn't know they make it colour now. Some part of me thinks this could pair well with some raspberry or other SBC.
I can't wait for this item's video @16:06 Looks interesting!
Awesome video, please overclock more toys, try a vtech laptop next, there is one I remember was built very nicely and has real laptop keys
At least it's not Java?
3:00 Likely inspired by Animal Crossing Blathers /Celeste characters.
Finally, someone created an in-depth video about laptop like this. Only a small portion of the population will ever review something like this
I was requesting something similar (Sumikko Gurashi laptop, made by Sega with San-X license) to be reviewed in-depth on a few of channels, did you notice my comment on one of those videos?
I just looked for the laptop you mentioned and it looks quite interesting! It looks much more sophisticated, with more than double the price of this thing too. Too bad I don't speak Japanese haha
basic customisation is the new programming
Just for having a true lcd screen is awesome
i remember a long time ago my mom took me to korea to see my grandmother, and when we went to the toy store i saw something like that and i wanted it soooo bad, i didnt even know what it was because i couldnt read hangul at the time, i just wanted it because it looked like a laptop and because it had pororo on it😭
You can actually see a fire/spark near the hinge at 12:30
imagine your notepad++ or Visual Studio had a voice narrator..
This Korean toy has a full color display and is apparently meant to teach coding...
Yet over here in Poland (where I live), you'd be hard pressed to find a toy computer that does more than teach the alphabet.
I wonder what system the thing runs the software for this toy off of.
12:29 i think you popped the main ASIC/CPU with over 9 volts and a capacitor at 30 by the sound. I actually overvolted many toys but by accident and had a few caps blow up on them. It actually does seem to have a fairly beefy flash chip.. i think its fried but maybe its dumpable and the firmware can be read. It has an soc it looks like. A pretty powerfull one too! Its kinda sad you fried it because its not one of those blob chips but an actual arm7 cpu which probably ran rtos or some light linux distro which is all possible. I have seen plenty of cheap devices use an arm7 and a custom non opensource linux distro
ngl i think he broke it
I really should revisit this thing in the future, given the fact that this thing's chipset has a capability of running homebrew software!
@@Kimmsito while you're at it, try running some emulators for the funsies
I feel so bad fir the kids that used this toy and thought this is how you code.
12:32 I could smell the pop from my screen
Babe, wake up! The new Kimmsito video just dropped
Imagine someone decides to dump the software that thing has and makes it open source on github
Can you put a custom screen in here, and put some coding on this laptop so it can handle a BIOS?
i think raspberry pi kit is the perfect for coding gift.
Was hoping to see if that mouse does work on other devices
ua-cam.com/users/shortsUfIOmPZSDQ4 You can find out if it works on other computers in this video!
We already have a coding laptop at home.
The coding laptop:
this is not overclock, is overvolt.
i didn't understand that shoe rotation thing at all
underrated channel
i like your laugh fr
I started programming with Game Maker 8 ..
11:42 are you trying to imply that a 6 year-old could comprehend vim?
