Apparently Temu Sells Laptops Now...

I may have bought another stupid thing off TEMU  this time I bought an X book and I'm pretty sure that a 300ish Canadian dollar laptop off  a retailer that primarily specializes in whatever plastic crap fell off the back of  the delivery truck this week is going to be real special so let's check it out but  first today's video is sponsored by Deep Cool's new digital series of AK coolers it's  the same AK coolers we've come to love with their amazing thermals low noise and very  easy installation

process but with some added tasteful digital flare look at that  very much not obnoxious digital temperature readout flexing the cooling power of our AK 620  check out deep Cool's digital series AK coolers using the link in the video description  thank you deep cool for sponsoring today's [Music] video [Music] amazingly this laptop actually  didn't come wrapped in several layers of ocean plastic which is a nice touch and apparently  it's from Germany ooh fancy wait so does that mean it's made o

f like BR and there's some  of the obligatory package negligence on the back I was actually worried initially  that there wasn't any but it's [Music] here in this first little box we get a cool  power adapter that looks a little bit like a cell phone charger wow that is a 24 WT power  brick so this x book is really not very powerful but we're obviously still going to try game on  it wow the coup X book does look suspiciously like a rebranded fake MacBook Air which I'm sure  means it'll just be a

gaming Beast and the specs do corroborate the gaming Beast Theory with an  Intel Celeron J 4125 inside I don't think I've actually gamed on one of these before I'm curious  to see how that's going to go and aside from the 14in 1080p display what's kind of concerning  to me is that there are also Linux versions of this laptop I really hope this is the windows  version cuz I don't want a pseudo app get nothing and then finally this is a middle of the- pack  8 gig variant we get a nice heavy envel

ope in the Box I'm assuming with like warranty stuff  in it now I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that's a picture of a MacBook Air right there  other than that it is just a bunch of warranty crap [Music] nice that I'm not going to lie  smells kind of like an Apple product it's got that artificially injected neutral clean  smell to it which is interesting usually you pay hundreds of dollars for that smell and then  we get what looks like a very gamery logo for the little coup wow there is some D

eja Vu looking  at this laptop the silver plastic reminds me quite a bit of that chewy laptop I had a look  at like 2 years ago the I/O on the right side of the laptop aside from the USB and microphone  headphone jack has a nice professional touch with the micro SD card slot ooh and on the left next  to the tiny little power jack and USB 3 Port is the horrendous mini HDMI port I really hate these  but it's a thin laptop I they probably wouldn't have been able to fit a full-sized one here so on 

the one hand it's a herpes connector on the other hand at least there's a connector although on the  bottom we do have something very exciting I think this is only the second time I've seen it on a  new laptop a glory hole look at that that looks like an m.2 glory hole that's a bit small for my  liking but it's more than enough to accommodate me other than that there's very little room for  ventilation on the back but we do have a seller on it here so that doesn't really matter to be  honest uh

let's see if it passes the one hand open test I like how the little internal  cloth bit is hanging out like just BW me from a sandwich i' I've never seen that before  normally they actually have them the correct size very much not yeah if you're far enough away and squint hard  enough it does really look like a little MacBook I haven't interacted with the chewy laptop in  ages but that is exactly how I remember its keyboard feeling it has quite a big trackpad  with reasonably nice little clickie

s to it the front firing speakers are that those aren't  actual holes those are just little stickers that they stock on there that is some real nice  attention to detail there I like that a lot oh yeah good peel around the edge of the  display we've got this like fake carbon fiber effect sticker I'm not going to try and  pull it off I don't want to ruin the aesthetic of our Majestic laptop they managed to fit the  little webcam up there that's a good spot for it I'm sure it's very high quality n

ow because this  is a 14-in laptop we don't get a numpad on it so unfortunately you can't use it for QuickBooks  or whatever oh actually so if you like function key you can do Quickbooks on this little laptop  that's a pretty cool implementation and with that Revelation I guess it's time to fire up the laptop  and see if we have to suffer through some pseudo [Music] today Mega Trends it's been a while  since I've seen that okay that is Windows stuff happening so I'm not going to have to deal  wi

th Linux once the laptop struggled through the setup process the display stood out to me first  is this really 1080p it is 1080p it feels quite soft the viewing angles are also rough you  lose a lot of brightness when you're off AIS in terms of measurements the display is pretty  garbage for a Modern Display but in practice it doesn't look quite as bad as the measurements  would suggest at least when you're looking at it on aess specs wise here's our 5-year-old little  on 8 gigs of RAM which say

s four of four so I'm assuming those are four solder down little memory  modules which we'll find out when we open up the laptop a bit later storage wise 128 gig SSD  and then finally our UHD Graphics 600 which should make for some real amazing gameplay next  installing all the software I needed for gaming on this laptop like Steam and MSI After Burner  was an infuriatingly slow process this laptop can barely run Windows 11 it feels like using a  device that suffered a recent and traumatic head

injury which bodess real well for actually gaming  on now of course we're starting with GTA 5 because it runs terribly in a really funny way and I'm  being real Brave here starting at 1080p on a laptop that can barely run Windows 11 oh never  mind this actually isn't going that badly no I know 9 frames per second not being that bad  maybe a bit of a stretch but at least stuff's rendering you know it is actually running GTA  5 a little bit better than it runs Windows 11 no this is super unplayabl

e like not even almost  playable happening here I'm I'm going to have to drop the resolution a bit that has made a bit  of a difference which you can't really take for granted with these cerons usually the CPU is  the bottleneck in terms of frame rate so this is pretty impressive in a baby figuring out how to  not vomit on itself kind of way dropping it to the lowest resolution the game supports hasn't  really given us that much more performance which is interesting considering that it seems lik

e  the GPU is still the main issue here yeah sub 20 frames per second really doesn't count  as a playable experience especially at 800x 600 yeah I'd say this is perfectly usable for  competitive CS go gameplay look at that smooth game play we do have a bit of a disadvantage here  in that there are Bots running and we are pretty severely CPU limited so that is going to have a  big impact on our performance and besides even if the frame rate doubles it's still just going  to be 10 frames per secon

d let's see can we get him hey I took a bot down though so shroud can  definitely use this for competitive play next let's try performance Fidelity FX and see what  that does for us wo we've jumped all the way up to S frames per second now oh yeah smooth as  silk it's back down to four I guess it depends qu oh do you know why I think it jumped up to  seven because a bunch of the Bots died DOTA is the best running game so far peing over 25  frames per second and as we all know the human icon more

than that so even if we wanted to we  couldn't use anymore the next four games I tried either straight up refused to launch or just died  straight after pretending to launch even fortnite took several attempts and a driver update to get  running it only took five tries but it's finally launched oh yeah look at ooh those are some good  stutters uh according to the game we have some network connectivity issues as well I mean it does  look very deyy oh no I think there's someone in here this isn't

going to go great is it wow that  went very well but I think I know what the problem is now according to the comment section  of the entire last temu video This Little Mac ax half keyboard thing isn't nearly  as stupid as I said it is because for laptop gaming it is very good apparently  let's see if adding the Mac ax to our temu laptop significantly improves our gaming  experience oh yeah feeling way more gamery already and fortnite is unironically running  better it's obviously not because of

the MC axe but I think it's because the desyncs gone  I I I think it was a server related issue this feels like I'm playing a game 25 years ago on  my grandmother's computer this is crazy like look at them graphicss oh yeah water a tree  oh there we go there you go we got our tree finally now when it comes to the macx yeah in  this context ergonomically it is a lot better than gaming on the laptop and because it's  small it's still portable so yeah for games like fortnite I do agree with you an

gry commenters  in the previous video it does kind of make sense although interestingly I did have somebody tell  me that this product they actually had to recall off of Amazon because it's known to install  malware on your PC so I am going to have to scrub this laptop after I'm I'm done with it  but potential malware aside let's tear down the laptop and have a look at its guts uh oh I  forgot about the glory hole that needs to open first and just like that we have access  to our SSD which we ca

n now upgrade very easily through our glory hole this  actually looks like it's going to be a very easy laptop to take apart cuz  we've got a clear separation between the bottom plate and the side one some screws and  then hopefully the back's just going to pop out wow that's a strong clip oh there we go  so this bit of thin copper is all they need to cool that little Celeron uh next to that  we've got our 120 gig SSD which we can access without taking the whole bottom plate off uh  other than t

hat here is our battery it's not a super high capacity but this is a very low power  draw device so it's the batter is going to last for ages and the right IO is connected to the  main motherboard with this little daughterboard thingy and a ribbon cable but with that I do  actually want to take this little copper piece off and have a look under there but before we  do that we have to unplug the battery before the internet shouts at me [Music] whoa that is  some sickly looking copper on the botto

m but putting that aside they used the thermal pad  instead of thermal paste to interface between this little bit of copper and the Celeron down  there which is very interesting and then finally on the PCB we've got the very cute little Celeron  and then in typical Apple fashion we've got some solder down RAM on the side so at the end of the  day we did get a functional laptop off temu but for $360 Canadian dollars we've seen devices  on this channel that don't feel like doing your Computing on

something that's recently  been heavily lead poisoned which brings me to the end of another video subscribe if you liked  it don't if you don't and until the next video [Music] bye-bye
