- It’s an awesome idea but it does have a high price tag, if they could bring this down to the $199 mark it might make sense.
In this video, we take a look at the KANO PC a DIY build your own Windows 10 laptop made for education!
This laptop was designed with education in mind by introducing new users to electronics and coding using the KANO Apps.
It runs Windows 10 Home and as an Intel N4000 Cpu with 4Gb of Ram.

It’s an awesome idea but it does have a high price tag, if they could bring this down to the $199 mark it might make sense.
I think because they included the coding course with the tablet it sort of makes sense where the price is at. But I do think they should include more storage at the current price because 64 gigs is almost nothing.
What would happen if you use the battery for something else instead of the kanto pc
1. Use Linux instead of Windows 10 (it will also teach the kids how to use the Terminal).
2. Use AMD instead of Intel (their CPUs are obviously a lot better now, and they are more keen to support projects like this).
3. Use an HDD instead of a 64GB SSD (no other point then to start it up a little faster, HDDs have improved a lot recently, it will teach the kids that you should always be patient).
Anyone else got more budgetary suggestions?
@@issabeganovic8822 I would think it is only a matter of time for more of these to use AMD. AMD does more semi-custom designs that could be interesting. The only thing I disagree with is switching away from an SSD. Kids can be rough with things, SSD's aren't just faster, but more durable too.
@@NicVandEmZ It's a usb battery. Should work fine
I loved the older setup but this is much smarter being laptop focused and or tablet. Where I think they really missed a trick is in the almost worthless amount of building you do. I'd like to have seen the CPU, memory, PSU etc. all in their own modules and the child has to put all that together and kinda learn what makes a PC a PC. Putting the battery in and speaker is well, why bother? Every kid already knows about putting / charging batteries. My 3 year old niece was charging her amazon kindle fire thing on her own.
This should really either be in the classroom and heck that's a well funded school that can buy in a whole tonne of these. They are super expensive for the level of performance offered. But its all that app side that really makes it worthwhile and that really could be a spin off product you buy and run on a chromebook or any laptop. This is one for the richer family who can buy this as an additional computer for their kids just to help get them into coding and being more computer literate.
Idk that plugging in two things with conventional user-friendly cables and slapping on a plastic cover constitutes "building" a laptop. If I bought this for my kid without researching it I'd be very disappointed.
@Linux Forever Fair enough
Yeah, building a desktop pc would be better imho. Or an arduino directly
Yup, I would probably do better watching a few videos how to disassemble a laptop then reassemble
Today Timmy we are learning how basic ports work. Here are two plugs that have been on millions of devices... Why did I spend $300 on this?
LMAO I was just thinking the same.
Well, you just have to remember that some people will think that it is not good enough if they do not charge enough for it.
I feel like you can learn more from repairing a thinkpad, given the breadth of documentation online and availability of parts. the assembly of this kano pc is a joke
@@kaiishkaiish the celeron is a joke of a processor. It can't really run much past some word documents and basic games.
@@TheBlackSkimmer eh its kinda what most smaller children do anyways so isnt a large roadblock. But yeah celeron is pretty much dogshit anywhere except for simple stuff
This is cool. Recently diyperks made a laptop out of an old cellphone, someone should make a kit for that.
Search for "Razer project Linda" its really cool! Too bad it was never released
I was expecting a lot more hardware assembly for a learning laptop. Interesting idea though. I'd prefer that DIY concept for an Android tablet.
The participation medal of system builds.
I mean it’s literally directed at children under 10 but go off
@@oceanicinks42 Give yourself a participation medal for joining the conversation a year late when this is now already obsolete. Give yourself a second for being triggered by sarcasm from an ex PC technician who has built hundreds of systems in my time in the industry. This is not aimed at children under 10, its aimed at the dumb parents of children under 10 who know less about computers than the child does.
@@Bobandus savage haha 😄
7yo: can it run Roblox?
You: kinda...
7yo: slowly puts it on the trash, while looking at you in the eyes.
@@oakbricks Roblox can't run on linux
It can if you download it from the windows store
@@TheSwagGuy5000 unless you download wine.
If it could run Minecraft, it could most likely run Roblox fine too.
@@XMANIAFLYYY actually it doesn't even run with wine. Roblox patched that in around 2014. Funny enough they planned to put it on linux then they decided to put it on Mac instead.
ETA Prime somehow knows Im bored....
change your pfp
It's honestly hilarious how they call this "building a PC". You're literally plugging in two things!
Yeah, but two things:
1) do you honestly expect a kid to build a laptop? Or a PC?
2) how many “build your own laptop” kits are there out there-for kids or adults?
This is for kids, dude. Little kids. 🙄
isn't building a pc literally plugging in a few things
Yeah it's 💩 someone could get a budget laptop and do stuff with better performance than this
@@ElizaHamilton1780 possibly😏
I'm not understanding what the point of the clear back and battery/speaker modularity are for. As far as PC understanding goes, neither of those things are particularly important to a PC compared to RAM, storage, CPU, etc...
This thing is like buying a model car kit, opening the box and finding that it's fully assembled, you just have some stickers to put on it. Then the clear back is like a display case for the model car you "made"...
Even if I was a kid, I would see how condescending this is. There's no challenge, no educational aspect to the hardware. Maybe this is for parents that don't understand how PCs work either, so it helps them not look dumb in front of their kids? Who knows...
With a body that thick, there's no reason you couldn't have accessible storage, RAM, or even a socketed CPU. At the very least, let the kid see these things that actually MATTER.
8:35 To a kid, this is what matters. They'll get the hardware sorted out later.
If it was as modular as you were saying (perhaps even more and coming in a wider variety of configurations) and featured a Thunderbolt port, it'd be a killer device for tinkerers of all kinds. It's quite underwhelming, tbh.
@@seoulglo1999
Agreed. Those aren't exclusive to this "laptop" and better performing laptops can be had for $300 or less.
It's called marketing
@@seoulglo1999 lol if you go to my local public library there's a good chance one of the computers has a kid playing Minecraft on it
Great run-down. Thank you!
At this point get your kid a chrome book and let them screw on the back plate
Thumbs up for the pivoting burrito!
Plug in two wires - I BUILT A LAPTOP MYSELF! YAY!
This is great!!! I wish this was around when I was a kid.
I love their keyboards. I have their portable bluetooth one and it's great. It's definitely more normal than the one you showed, though.
I love the concept of Modular Laptops and Kid Friendly/Learning Friendly vibe. It would be Productive if this became an Industry Thing for Schools.
Amazing product with great review. After watching this I remembered of project ARA
Would have loved have something like this back in my school days.
You'd rather watch paint dry though...
And here I was expecting to hear the Italian Disco band Kano playing during this video.
I just purchased this exact model from Best Buy for $100. Seems nice!
I just got this I love it
Wow! More powerful than the netbook I have. We got it in 2011 so it's kinda expected. It's only 32bit and currently running Lubuntu 18.04.
In addition to built-in camera, it would also have been nice if it had an option to purchase kid-friendly case especially for the targeted users (young kids) when using it in tablet mode. Great review as always!
I mean, it's somewhat interesting as a surface go alternative honestly. The removable battery could always come in handy for meetings and stuff. Honestly, it's not bad for what it is
I like mine!
That Kano oil is top tier for rusty bolts. It also smells oddly good.
I thought this was a model kit that comes with real functional motherboard, RAM, CPU, SSD & touchscreen and touchpad with OS installed. I was expecting it come with runners and stickers. Imagine building it by snap and screw it together.
Love you bro keep up the good work
Nohomo
I got one of these for Christmas a few years ago. Used it for like a week and never used it again lol
I'm well into adulthood and recently bought the Kano PC for myself. It was the cheapest computer at my local store with Windows 10 and works great. No, you're not really building a computer but the cool colors will make you feel like a kid.
Pretty cool!
Kano Code is very reminiscent of Scratch. I used to love messing with that app making animations and minigames...
I know it's not really practical, but seeing how the main board sits in the laptop, I thought it would be a neat idea to produce a generic tablet chassis, and have the ability to "upgrade" by swapping the motherboard with another that shares the form factor and port layout.
It does look like it may be a good starting point to begin building a custom laptop. Plus I like the idea of the battery using usb-c to connect. There may be some other cool ideas in the build.
I actually have a use for a low powered system such as this. Mostly all I do 90% of the time I just need a text terminal and a code editor. Plus I often do this away from power sources other than solar. It can be difficult to manage charging multiple devices all running on battery. So having some gaming machine that sucks power just running what I need is such a waste. The size and weight appears small enough for what I need, but that would be an issue for many.
So I am an adult that just ordered one to see if it will work for me. When I searched for a cheap laptop, this popped up at $140 Canadian, which is $100 US. And I have 30 days to return it. I watched this review after I saw the price and then ordered it.
For a "DIY" this is way too simplified, and I'm very sure it's only used as a gimmick to sell the packed-in apps inside it
And for such a high price for a somewhat low specs there are plenty other alternatives for educational apps like these
Not to mention if there are parents who want or have young children who are interested in these they would've been better to just invest in a way higher spec'd PC for the long run anyway, as in even the run of the mill laptop works
Looks like fun for a child. This is actually a better deal then my Lenovo. It has a decent looking touch screen with the same specs.
This guy uploads quickly.
I might not be a kid but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to buy this one day
Would have liked to see a Chromebook style laptop maker case for the pi 4, like the neon green laptop shell elelement 14 did for the pi 3. This is a cool idea too, waiting for a sale.
I'm having mixed feelings with the "learning how to build a pc" from this. You can put the battery on 50% of laptops out there and you can learn how to use the headphone jack everywhere. If it teach how to put a cpu, ram and screen on it, it would've been more interesting, but so far its only appeal is having a bulky, underpowered, transparent windows tablet.
When I was a kid I used to build and sell PCs from spare parts I got from broken goodwill computers. For ages ten and under this is cool but there's other more practical options out there for those interested in building.
building your own windows 10 pc sounds awesome
I really want this for Ead!!!
Apart from the 'building vs plugging in a few components' thing I think it has a nice creative design so am considering it for my daughter. Would wipe the win10 and replace it with something like Bodhi.
Love it!!!
I'd love to see if this thing can run Linux. This is the only new tablet on the market with a swapable battery.
It would run Linux fine.
@@ThePsychoticWombat Linux works fine on touchscreens. GNOME Shell is more optimized for touch input then anything else on the market.
Deon Denis the whole idea of Kano is that you make a pc
That's so cool! I wish I had a KANO PC Laptop.😃😃😃
@9:30 - the Celeron N4000/UHD Graphics 600 can decode VP9 profile 2 smoothly up to 4k 60fps on TH-cam. It can also do H.264 and H.265 4k.
this is an amazing proyect
Hey eta prime just out off curiosity what cars do you work on ? Is it a job or hobby. Just remembered you said it once on a video great content keep up the good work !
He took a photo of his car in the last video. Had a Focus ST.
Its 5:02 over here... BUT I WILL STILL WATCH!
Ok
I swear, ETA Prime is literally the best channel on TH-cam. Love this content!!!
I'd really like a follow up video showing anything that can be hacked -- maybe it's only increasing the SD card by cloning the existing one to a larger size. But can anything else be swapped? Battery? emmc memory?
Just a reminder. Even pressing a button is a big deal for a kid.
For many adults as well...
Only if it is for turning a device OFF, or closing something 😆
I fail to see the educational value of this product. Meaning, I don't see how this would make it more educational than assembling your own DIY PC or just buying a regular laptop and installing the same applications. Old computers like the Commodore 64 actually had more educational value, because they allowed you more direct access (programmatically speaking) to their hardware via the built-in BASIC interpreter. Modern PCs hide everything behind opaque drivers and APIs and unfortunately I don't know of any educational device/application/platform/whatever that actually teaches how modern PCs really work (from hardware to end-user software). I'm curious to know if any of you have some suggestions in this regard.
Back to the Kano PC, maybe I'm missing something ? I just don't see what makes it so special beyond being a Windows (thus having telemetry spying on your children's activities is a creepy prospect in my opinion) tablet with some pre-installed software.
Ikr C64 is coding heaven while this ? To be honest you can get more cheaper, more powerful, and have camera built in, I also cannot see this educational maybe if they ship with Linux I can see it but windows ? Platform where you can just Installed program to do it it's waste money to me.
It's systemic of the education system. Teachers can't be bothered to learn coding, they want hand holding more than the kids do. My kids pick up HTML, CSS and JavaScript really quickly. But because teachers are the ones buying educational products before they hit the kids hands, they demand super colorful dumbbed down non-sense that really benefits only them because a drunk in a bar could teach it.
@@therandomknowledgeenthusia8590 I guess I did always hate as a kid when adults would dumb down whatever knowledge they deemed safe to share. Now I feel like this whole phenomenon of "babying" children is so deeply ingrained into our culture we don't even realize how harmful it is to children's development. In the end it only benefits those adults who don't want the hassle of treating children like actual full blown human beings.
Yeah, assembling a real laptop with micron thin mylar cables and weird little connectors wouldn't be frustrating at all.
What do you mean by spying?
When I saw the title I thought "Finally! A laptop that can be upgraded in any way".... boy was I dissapointed 😂
Similar thought 😓
I would love to see this thing run Manjaro!
I built my self a pc but sadly I don’t have a monitor and have to keep it in the living room so my siblings could use it and my MacBook is way too old, it’s from 2009 and my windows laptop is in pieces, the charging port is hanging out of the laptop, the keyboard is broken, I took the hard drive from it and put it in my pc. Overall it’s done for but this is like the perfect laptop for me I would like something that could handle school stuff and do some gaming on my pc using parsec right from my room, it’s perfect! But I’m in need of a new phone or I can just change the screen, battery, camera on the one I already have which would cost more than a new phone better than the one I’m using so rip. But do not hesitate to buy this it’s amazing! I actually expected it to be like 400 like the surface go 2 which DOESNT EVEN COME WITH A KEYBOARD but at 300 it’s good if it goes down to 200 then there is no reason not to get it.
Great thing about this is that it can run x86 and possibly x64 applications such as Discord or MS Office
This with a Ryzen Apu would be so good... 😍
I once got one from my mom as a present. I put it all together, and made sure everything was connected, and it didn't even work, $200 USD down the drain. If you want to get into one board computers, I would recommend a Pi Kit
The laptop looks pretty cool. Is the cpu swappable in anyway?
I know we're all thinking this but how well would this handle emulation like ppsspp and earlier as well as how well will it run video through something like say windows media player? Also do these things work with external hard drives?
Wait what!? You connect a jack and USB and you are calling it "building a pc" 😂
YES🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I know. It's not really building at all.
Mm then again if it wasnt just that youd have to do A LOT MORE WORK.
to be fair, title does say "sort of"...
Well it is for kids and I think it's to just get them into pc building and coding
I felt that horrible foam when you touched it.
I imported 2 Lynx Vision 8's. They're smaller Windows 10 tablets with a gaming controller, and they have cameras.
I expect an emulation follow up video on this. :)
Amazing video
I swear I hear James Doohan saying " I Kano-doo it copton!" thinking about this project that just doesn't seem to work out.
Super epic 👌
I like building the older version. It’s just more fun in my opinion. It felt like you were actully building it. Not just connecting 2 wires
I still have Kano computer but didn't have screen I bought last year it was on raspberry 3. that got me into raspberry
Cool video
3:05 ETA PRIME does savor the peelies
Kano? FINISH HIM!!!
Waiting for the emulation test!
Try running minecraft java edition with and without optfine mod.
Some batocera (or some distro like it) running over USB would be nice too.
wonder what emulation performance it will have..?
the PI models where more of a "build your own" PCs, this is just a "preassembled" kids tablet in disguise... I know Microsoft had something to do with this, but even they missed an opportunity here to be more appealing now that we have the older ones for comparison...
Cool concept. However if I wanted to teach someone about computers, I'd either have them build a real one from scratch, or buy a broken laptop and have them fix it up and install the OS. Real world experiences dont always come prepackaged with instructions
It would be much cooler if more building was required. It has the difficulty level of putting a sim card and a case on a phone. They might as well send it to you fully assembled.
Woot. Double eta
Ur da first comment
Pluging in a charger on my phone and pluging in earphones is just as hard as "building" this laptop
My brain is running wild with ideas...
Any chance to tap into the video out to the LCD?? Wondering if you could replace that PCB with a Pie, LatePanda, phone, etc!!
I'm torn between this or the Pinebook Pro. Which is better for Website Development using atom?
What Micro SD card do i need for the side of the computer!! I need hepp
If it were a Quad Core then sure, but a Dual nope nope.
I like the transparent backing though.
Edit: With how you plug in the speaker, would it be possible to use a splitter to add another speaker?
Edit2: For the camera stuff, theres windows and phone apps out there that will let you use a camera from your phone which the PC program is able to use as an output, so you wont even need to buy a USB Cam in situations such as those. Look up Manycam, has all you need.
Hi, congratulations on your videos. I have a Motorola Atrix Lapdock, how could I use it with a sigle board computer and install Linux or Windows 10? thank you very much from Italy.
pretty good
@ETA prime. I have the same pc, however on my "How Computers work" it does not show processor. Also, My speaker is attached, however sound is not playing. Could you address how to troubleshoot it ? Thank you.
*Dad* : So son, how's that computer ?
*Son* : It's great, I made a spinning burrito.
I wonder if you could use an eGPU with it because I think I saw another type c port
"Education" is realizing you can get the ONN equivalent at Walmart for half the price.. AND, it'll fit in your book bag!
i agree. desing and concep is cool, but $$$$$
300 is bit too much. but like to see a review on that walmart item too.
This isn’t educational great video but plugging 2 things is”n...
@Deon Denis That's a lot of education for one kid's laptop!
How is the viewing angle on the laptop? Does it seem more vertical?
Been seeing this at $149 on beat buy, but they offered it at $100 for one day and I snagged it.
You can make it more insane with lattepanda internals if possible
A couple of questions:
1. Is this for kids (I just wanna know before I ask my mum)?
2. How much does it cost?
3. Witch one is better Computer (one with seperate key board and more pieces to put together) or pc (the one your reviewing)
Yes it's ment for kids! $299, KANO PC ALL THE WAY! I have one! I love mine.
@@mattshumway2296
Cool thanks
As soon as I saw the touch screen peice with buttons and everything, I literally cried. I have the kano desktop, but THIS, Just wow. I'm amazed and I'm sulking in my bed, because I don't have on- I mean! Cuz it's so impressive, yeah. I NEED THIS. I'm literally 1 min and 15 sec in, and I'm thinking about this: a labtop, windows 10, not much, many people have windows 10, exept ONE THING: YOU GET TO BUILD IT. It can do school homework, if you have a certain kind of job you can work on it, or you can play FRICKEN MINECRAFT JAVA! I've always wanted a labtop, especially an official one that does everything that others do, but my TEENY TINY LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD MIND would NEVER have been able to comprehend BUILDING IT MYSELF!!! I NEEEEEED THIS!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!! WHY U SO EXPENSIVE KANO KIT, WHY???? I NEEB TO BUILD A WABTOP WIT WONDOS 10 ANB WUN MOINCWAFT ON IT ANB DEN WATSH DA SHEP IN ME FARM EAT GWASS ANB SAE BAAAAA IM BE GONG CWAYZY JUT TINKING ABOT IT PWEASE JUT GIV MEH. GIV MEH. GGGGIIIIVVVVEEEE MMMMEEEEHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody built a 25 dollar pc that’s really good at gaming and we’re here building this super expensive thing
My experiences have led me to the determination that its never cool to install a keyboard cap LOL I always break them
If there's a real modular laptop that's able swap main components such as the CPU & GPU I'd be highly interested!
