waiting for my X1 to arrive. too bad not manyy youtubers covered this. but gonna be using a 4k touchscreen on it over hdmi+usb. hoping it'll cope enough to handle a web browser with a server in the back end.
Ive been very impressed with the X1 performance, the X1 shown here is now used to drive all my video recording and live stream on this channel so all videos after this one are actually recorded via OBS running on the X1. Its rare that a sponsored product I get sent is so good that it gets pushed into daily driver service! So hopefully you'll agree, I think it should be fine for what you describe :-)
@@WiFiSheep damn that's impressive. definitely excited for the little unit, also interested in buying a RADXA X4 sometime. apparantly it's a even smaller sized X86 sbc but with a N100 intel chip, though more heat issues, and imho the "pi size" is too small of a formfactor,
Loved your two videos ended up getting a x1. For two days I’ve been trying to get this thing running I presume it’s because it didn’t have a windows system on it already I downloaded the software from the manufacturer and have been trying to do the boot up installation. I’m finding this quite difficult because I’m not a text savvy person and I think that would be a great video. Have a good day.
Hi, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video.. have you looked at the wiki? wiki.youyeetoo.com/en/x1/windows/install-system It might be you need to update your X1s BIOS, like how I did for using the LCD display in this video (Part Two) Failing that try the community forum forum.youyeetoo.com
@@WiFiSheep yes this is what I’ve done. When connected to a monitor, wired keyboard and mouse, the X1 starts up, but shows a OS loading are and restarts. This just continued to loop. I fallowed the instructions from manufacture. Copied as directed and placed them into a usb. After doing so it continued in the same order. I’m not tec savy and beleave this may need more tec experience. The first two sections of instuctions in yellow are not selectable in boot menu and the Main.cd image is not to be found. I’m not asking you to personally help me through the process, but a video of this would go along way for the people who may run across the same problem. Thank you for your response
Yes via HDMI should be fine, Ive used the X1 with some I have for testing off camera. Touch Screen if via USB interface again can see why what would be an issue might need some drivers or setup on the OS / Windows side. Ribbon based LCD/TFT displays, others should be compatible, most use the same standard interface, it just depends on if the display panel needs its own custom driver board or not.
@@WiFiSheep so we can use those mini hdmi screens with it like nrml monitor thank u i was confused about buying it or raspberry pi 5 just for this reason but its all clear thank u so much
@@moumenebenasser2840 Yes if its a normal HDMI video connection then yes should work fine. I actually have my X1 plugged into an old Apple studio flatscreen display which uses a DVI connection, So i have a super cheap HDMI to DVI adaptor between the X1 and Pro display, and it works fine. As I said i have a number of mini HDMI LCD TFT type displays which work fine with the X1 and well as Pis.
I realize this is an older video, but hopefully you’re still willing to field questions. I’m looking for an x86 SBC to build a homelab AI server cluster, probably running on an OpenStack-like VIM, for experimentation purposes. I plan to run Ubuntu Cloud on the nodes, which is purpose-built for this sort of application. Based on your experience with it, how well do you think the X1 would hold up under extended periods of constant heavy load?
Answering questions is not problem.... If i can remember the content of the video... is LOL But yes I have been very impressed with the X1, I've tried a few x86 SBCs and this is the best I've used. The sample X1 shown in the video is now pushed into service driving my cameras and recording devices for videos and live streams here on the channel. So basically everything produced since was captured on an X1 and thats with the overhead of Windows 11. Running linux, I would guess the board would be even more efficient, if its got the power for live realtime HD capture and streaming, I imagine things like VIM should be fine. Heavy load processing, I think it'll cope ok, you will hit a ceiling eventually, but over all very very impressed, and I say that even now, even as i'm not under sponsorship with them at this time.

Nice review but just lil qst ( Can we use any other Lcd touch screen like those 7inch hdmi touch screen or some raspberry Hdmi screen with the X1 ??)

@ Thanks Tom, appreciate the feedback! Now I just need to find a ready-made SBC rack large enough for the X1 😅
