We take a look at a lot of budget computers

But this, this is something a little bit different.

At $130, not only is this one of the cheapest

but impressibly, it's made by a real company.

Not some random thing I've never heard of

is that not only is it going to be power by

an AMD processor, something a little bit different

but on top of that it does come with a full year

of Office 365, which by itself is like, what $100?

for a brand new laptop, you shouldn't expect

So of course we do have the laptop itself here,

as well as the power adapter, which is really nice and tiny.

But what we're looking at, at least at first glance

is something that doesn't look all that different

from a lot of the $170 to $200 Windows laptops out there.

is that this is going to be running an AMD processor.

Which is interesting, because Intel basically

gives away their processors at this price point.

Actually it doesn't feel that bad, to be totally honest.

I mean sure, it's going to be made out of plastic,

and port wise there's well two USB ports,

Well look at that, there's also going to be

Not that they're going to be particularly large,

I feel like there's gonna be a catch though.

There gonna be a reason why this was $130 brand new.

One of the main competitors for something

like the Inspiron 11 is going to be this,

it's been slightly tweaked here and there,

but this is going to be different in a few major ways.

But the most obvious is going to be the processor.

As opposed to being powered by an Intel Celeron processor,

this guy instead is rocking an AMD A6-9220e.

Unlike the Celeron, this guy's going to be based

So what that means is that you're going to be getting

two Steamroller cores, that start of 1.6 gigahertz,

and can boost up to 2.4 gigahertz, sometimes,

and a little bit more emphasis on the sometimes in a second,

but what that means is that you are going to be getting

fairly low performance as opposed to a much more expensive

computer but in this sort of sub $200 category,

it's actually going to be a pretty decent step up.

It does feel like there's slightly too much performance

for the fanless design to handle sometimes,

so when you're doing intensive tasks such as Windows update,

a lot of times the bottom, and especially the keyboard

And it's not going to be scalding hot or anything,

but it does means that you're going to be

losing some performance, thanks to throttling.

Put it side by side with other similarly priced laptops

that this actually is going to perform pretty well.

is that it only does use single channel memory,

but again that's very similar at this sort of price point,

and thankfully we do have a full four gigabytes

One of the biggest issues when you pick up

Both of these options are only going to give you

Now it's going to be fine as far as speed,

but storage-wise, it give you almost nothing

But anytime you actually have to do a major

Windows update, like I had to do when I first

you actually have to use external storage to get it to work.

I had to plug in a USB drive to even get this thing

If you pick up a laptop like this, it is basically

a necessity to pick up at least a 64 or 128 gig

micro-SD card and let it live inside your SD card slot.

Trust me when I say, even though it's going to add

it is going to make this so much more usable.

With Radeon graphics on board, this actually isn't
