Inside Disappointment

This laptop is designed with 2-in-1 style. It has a metal top and a plastic bottom (although it's lined with a thin sheet of metal under/in the bottom cover) to dissipate heat. It runs in Windows S mode. I upgraded to Windows 10 Home. There are only two stickers on the laptop but I was surprised to see some funny laptop stickers in the box! It comes with a barrel charger but can also be charged via USB-C. 1920 x 1080 factory resolution, 150% scaling. The icons on the screen were too big for me, so I reduced the zoom to 100%. I tested it on Geekbench on Windows 10. I ran it three times and got the following results: 1227 single core and 2763 multi core. 1325 single-core and 2801. multi-core. 1319 single core and 2756 multi core. You can switch between Performance Mode, Standard Mode and Whisper Mode by pressing Fn + F. I saw a slight increase in performance mode: 1334 single core and 2823 multi core. OpenCL scored 9542 and Vulkan scored 8493. I removed the floor to confirm my concerns. This computer runs on a single channel of 4GB of RAM. It cannot be updated by the user. However, it does have a 128GB eMMC removable drive from Foresee. Removing the bottom cover isn't difficult, but there are plenty of different sized screws, including two hidden under the legs. Despite only having 4GB of RAM, it's surprisingly useful. I even updated it to Windows 11 Beta Channel after testing it. All in all, this is a good laptop with a premium, thin exterior that falls short of its internal specs alone. If you can find this laptop with better specs, I think it's worth buying the updated model. Currently I don't know if there is an updated model. Otherwise, don't plan on doing a lot of gaming or multitasking on this laptop.
