I've seen these cheap PCs like the HP Stream, ASUS L210/410, cheap Gateway laptops, Core Innovations, and Packard Bell, and they are considered to be the worst Windows PCs. Their performance is very slow for a new PC similar to the infamous Windows Vista PCs from 2007. The reason why these laptops have slow performance is because these laptops are allegedly using Chromebook hardware which is suggested by the 64/128 GB eMMC, Intel Celeron/AMD 3020e, and 4 GB RAM, but the biggest issue is that Intel Celeron and 4 GB RAM aren't suitable for Windows or its applications. In fact, these PCs have trouble running Edge/Chrome, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and even games like Roblox. Some of these systems like Gateway have been reported using the slower 802.11n 2.4 GHz. If Windows runs so badly to begin with, it makes me wonder why these PCs aren't sold as Chromebooks to begin with. To add insult to injury, you are not allowed to upgrade the RAM on these laptops something that most PCs allowed since the original IBM PC in 1981. Also, who thought it would be a good idea to *not* allow users to run third-party software outside the Microsoft Store? This would make sense on a mobile OS due to Android and iOS/iPadOS being different from Windows or macOS, but it doesn't make sense for a desktop OS that includes a file manager, browser, and mass storage. Still, Android allows sideloading although you need to turn it on. I know you can't except a premium feeling from a cheap computer, but I agree with you about the computer's issues. Some of these cheap laptops are built poorly especially the off brand computers, even the similar laptops from HP and ASUS have reviews complaining about issues similar to the laptop in the video. The cheap "gaming" desktops like the Alarco, Kepler Systems, ViprTech, or even the cheap IPASON suffer from a similar issue because they don't use good quality parts. This had happened to DLM tech garage who covered a Walmart gaming PC that wouldn't boot and the motherboard he shown was a no-name Chinese board that had issues. I really don't understand why manufacturers like HP, ASUS, and Lenovo or "budget" manufacturers like Gateway, Fusion5, and Core Innovations install Windows on a computer that *isn't designed* for Windows 10/11 or its apps. Windows Vista was infamously slow when it came out because manufacturers preinstalled it on PCs with 1 GB RAM that resulted in poor performance compared to Windows XP as Vista took the whole 1 GB, so you'd think manufacturers would have learned their lesson on putting Windows on hardware not designed for it. It seems with Windows 10 and 11, they have not learned from their mistakes. I know people could blame Microsoft for not optimizing Windows on 4 GB RAM and the slower/older processors like the Celeron and Atom, but HP, ASUS, and others should know better to *not* put Windows on these low-end machines. I feel these awful computers give Windows and their manufacturers a bad reputation because they buy these awful PCs and are led to believe that Windows or HP/Acer/ASUS/Lenovo sucks. It's a similar problem with Android due to the cheap tablets/phones which have outdated specs by today's standards that don't perform as well, and they usually have slow Wi-Fi (11n 2.4 GHz) when 11ac or ax is the standard. The only Android devices that are notably worth using are Google, Samsung, and OnePlus. I really can't recommend these PCs. For $200-$300, you'd be better off getting a Chromebook, an iPad, or a decent Android device that actually works. Alternatively, get a computer that's more expensive preferably with at least an Intel Pentium/Core i3 or AMD Ryzen, or buy an old refurbished computer that has at least a 2nd Gen Intel Core although not useful since you can't officially install Windows 11 without workarounds.
I did manage to find a sub $200 laptop that I am using currently. However, I doing a more long-term review of it, so that review will be coming in a bit. Well stated though. Thanks for watching!
I have an old Asus X205t which led me here. Looks like this Hyundai a more recent iteration of the product concept. Low power mobile/tablet internals in a laptop form factor. If you're looking for laptop functionality, you'll have issues, but for me, the Asus was great as a word processor plus benefits. Because of the low power consumption, its battery could last for a good 10-12 hours. Looks like the problem now is that Windows OS bloat has slightly outpaced the improvements to processor/board, so the laptop struggles with anything past idle. It's still cool that you can get a Windows laptop for under $200 though. BTW, I think that huge thermal sponge was interfering with how the metal foils were intended to work...like radiator fins.
Funny how LInus Media Group has a video review of this exact model after a year later of this posting. On their smaller 'ShortCircuit' tech review channel.

I have this same thing apparently and I didn't have a crashing issue and stuff so...guess mine's pretty stable lol

I know! I just watched it! They must have seen my video and decided to make one as well. Lol. Thanks for watching!
