I don't understand the complaints. I see 4 FPS at CS is not very high, but at least the CPU and the GPU are both at 100%, so they are not bottlenecking each other. It's a well balanced system.
Dawid, in your video ""Can a Noob tell the difference between a calibrated and uncalibrated monitor?"" you said you'd do a follow-up where you tried calibrating a monitor that had horrible colours because the IPS monitors you calibrated were already great out-of-the-box. Can you please make that video? It's very satisfying to watch monitors with a terrible colour tint become neutral.
I bought an HP laptop with a Ryzen 5 5500U (6 core) for the same price and I upgraded the RAM to dual channel and its plays older games pretty decent. I am seriously impressed with the performance.
I have a 4300 model. Its only have 4 cores and just run fine. It even support fsr2 . Wy not ryzen 4500u model what is the same model what u use (renamed by amd) Both are zen2 base. It that by games both use the same igp. Only on the 4300u the boost of igp is higher thanks to lower cpu cores .
I also have one with a Ryzen 5 5500U and I can even "play" Cyberpunk on it, after upgrading to 32GB. Really a great machine! I even get 12 hours of battery life out of it, when I really turn it down.

Either you're not that old(for reference, I'm 44) or your memory doesn't extend back far enough. The Celeron line was first introduced during the Pentium II days. The very first model was the Celeron 300 with a 300 MHz clock speed. Then, L2 cache was relatively large(for the time) but was on separate chips in the CPU package and operated at a fraction of the speed of the CPU which had negative performance implications. The Celeron was supposed to offer a cost savings by omitting the L2 cache, but the performance hit was far too great and it lagged behind similarly clocked PIIs by quite a bit. Then, Intel launched a revision called the Celeron 300A. It was one of their first CPUs to include L2 cache on the CPU die. While quite a bit smaller than normal, having the L2 on die reduced latency so much that the 300 MHz Celeron could actually beat a similarly clocked PII in a number of tasks, including many games. However, 300 MHz PIIs were near the bottom of the lineup with the fastest being more like 450 MHz. If you paired the Celeron 300A with a decent Mobo and some decently fast ram, you could raise the system bus speed so the CPU ran at 450 MHz, rivalling the best PIIs available at the time at a fraction of the cost. The Celeron 300A was an early overclocking darling, paving the way for later models like the Pentium D 805, lower end AKA reduced cache Core 2 CPUs and second Gen core i5 and i7 k processors. So it's entirely possible that back in the day circa 25+ years ago that someone somewhere may have referred to an over locked Celeron 300A based system as a gaming beast, and rightly so.
At least the system looks very balanced in gaming-both CPU and GPU are at full load. And the frametime is perfectly stable. It’s satisfying in some ways.
Exactly! Linux would fly on this. This guy is living in 2001 and thinks you have to use the Terminal in Linux. Like saying: I hope its not WIndows....I dont want an MSDOS prompt. there is like 8 ways to install apps on Linux....terminal is just one of them.
You can do so much better with 250-300$ on the second hand market. Just pick up an i7 based laptop with an AMD or Nvidia GPU and you're cruizing down the roads of Winewood before you received your next parcel from Temu.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 (released in late 2012) and it's much faster than this TEMU Laptop. I don't play games with it anymore but I still use it regularly for CAD. And recently, I even scavenged an old Hp Probook from 2011 and despite having a crappy 320Gb 5400RPM HDD, it's still booting faster than the one on this video
@@BrianMcKee You'd think they would at least give us the 4 Core Celerons at this point, but a lot of laptops drop with the usual bottom of the barrel Dual-Core.

You know, I'd love to see you also try older stuff on this thing like Half Life 2, the original Borderlands, Starcraft, etc. Definitely not a gaming laptop but the Celeron has four cores, I imagine it could run some older titles at somewhat playable framerates.
This is really not the kind of product anyone should be promoting, there are numerous stories of Temu products with lithium ion batteries catching fire because of the non existent QC and lack of accountability, anyone convinced to buy something like this trying to saving a buck could be put at genuine risk.
Yeah Temu is not the place to buy tech. But I feel like after watching the video no one would be willing to buy anything from Temu. Let alone this laptop lol
@@AnnaDoes the thing is, they wouldn't make them if people weren't still buying them and it's easy for people like us who follow tech news and reviews to have a blind spot when it comes to the average consumer, the grandparent buying a laptop for a kid, the parent trying to pinch pennies and so on. These videos absolutely need to make it clear in the title "Do not buy this product" then open with the exact safety concerns that consumers need to be aware of when purchasing anything containing a lithium ion battery from a less than reputable source.
Got that right, we need to be warning people we know in our families, and circle of friends/coworkers/community to not buy stuff on Temu because of this. I only buy stuff on places like Aliexpress because sometimes it's the only place I can find it, and I know what I'm getting my hands on having decades of experience in computer repair, and general tech.
I don't understand why someone who supposedly knows about tech would buy a cheap and low-powered, low-budget laptop like this, and try to use it for the most resource-intensive purposes. I guess it's true, if your only tool is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. But between you and me, there are other things to do with a computer besides playing games. Maybe it can do some of those things.
Reminds me of a $250 Dell I once got. Upgraded RAM to 8 GB and put in a SATA SSD. Not a bad coffee shop machine (you don't cry if it gets damaged or stolen). If you do anything more than TH-cam though, be prepared to wait, a lot. This includes updating Windows 10. The SSD was definitely a good idea For that much, only a 4000 series CPU, not good
With a computer that slow i wouldnt even bother installing windows. I really wouldnt bother installing windows on anything with less that 16Gb Ram. windows itself is probably going to leave you with barely any ram at 8Gb.
Cant imagine the disappointment of some factory worker falling asleep at their desk after putting together these pieces of crap all day, nobody deserves that hell.
I think there's only one use for these. Movie props. Very good if you wanna punt one or shoot it for a prop, but don't wanna invest in a real one. From afar, nobody would be the wiser.
We keep a lot for future videos (never know when he’ll want to use it again) or we take the stuff to a local PC recycling place that sells on or tears down for parts!
I'm confused, are there gaming laptops out there for $360 Canadian dollars? It seems like the laptop is performing very close to how it should, given its price point.
Like other markets, Temu is not a shop, but a marketplay. Temu does not sell anything by itself, but provied a platform for other sellers. Like ebay, but for cheap crap form China. So it doesn't surprise me to find such hardware on the platform.
my mom found a laptop with those specs recently but it was like $120, also has a hdd instead of a ssd so it's even slower though it does have 500gb of space.
That's quite a ripoff honestly. Microcenter sells Lenovo laptops brand new for $250 that has the Ryzen 5 5500U that benchmarks 4x better than this, double the HD and same RAM.
So my phone is borked. I got out my windows device to unbork it and Windows Started updating and restarted in the middle of the process. Guess whose phone is now more borked! I should've use my Linux box
the bar to beat for all the cheap laptops should be a used/refurbished Thinkpad T480 similarly priced. newer N100 based cheap laptops does rival i5 8520u ver of the T480, but they cost slightly more and have soldered in RAM.
The box coming out of Willich cracked me up to no end. How in the hell did that package end up containing some laptop from Temu that is delivered to Canada?
This box probably doesn't come from Germany but was meant for Germany (or the EU), the EC-REP is the producer's or importer's representative in the EU.
The city of Willich is located on the Lower Rhine in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is a medium-sized city in the Viersen district, lies on the western edge of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region and has the status of a medium-sized center.
@@tz8785 if it did they did repackage it for Canada, because that power plug is definitely not the one used in Germany. (and i doubt any place in Europe has sockets that use that type of plug)
@@ChristiaanHW No but they probably simply used the EU box to start with. Unless there is any such compliance marking required for Canada, that would save them a tiny bit of money by using fewer different boxes.
I find some of these types of laptops and Chromebooks a joke when it comes to the thought of gaming. But, I usually look at them as something for someone just just needs basics/productivity type work that can still use cloud gaming on them if they get a hankering to game some.
Celeron tho, real friends don't let people they love around Celerons. Even a dual-core but full-fat cores will do better, like U-class Intel CPUs (I'd say 5th Gen the latest I'd go) or most step-up laptops nowadays if you want new like 11th gen i3s and whatever the Ryzen laptop equivalent is (I don't follow low-end laptop much)
@@Fay7666 Intel did some magic with renaming brands. Architecturally this is an Intel Atom. Originally Celerons were derived from the main i-series/desktop architecture like the rest. J and N Celerons and Pentiums are rebadged Atoms. So even the lowest tier of desktop-based CPU would be better.

Quick thing: The reason the copper on the inner side of the heat spreader looked "sickly" was because of electrical insulation tape (you can also see it around the CPU die), which was surprising to see since it can get real damn expensive
I hate videos like this...people buy something crappy from a shady seller (i.e. Temu / Ebay / Ali Express) and then proceed to complain about everything wrong with it.
Imagine making fun of the laptop for 15 minutes that can’t game but isn’t even considered a gaming laptop and cost C$200 you can’t even get a Chromebook for the price quality on this channel became really low
The thermal pad is used because it can deal with more tolerance than thermal paste. if you replaced it with paste I would assume really poor transfer or possibly nearly none due to cybertruck tier tolerances.
I bought a 15,6" laptop very similar to this from Teclast, it has J3455 and only 6GB of RAM, but it has very decent IPS screen, with good view angles, perfect for media consumption and some very light 2D games. The difference is that i got for 120$, 260$ is a lot for that laptop.
I have a Chromebook with a similar cooling solution and i was curious how much it actually did. So I removed it. The temps under full load from the chromebook diagnostic test were 50 with the copper and 70-80 without the copper. the clocks also never dropped from max turbo (2.58Ghz)
I remember buying a laptop with this exact same chip for $250 USD about 4 years ago for my bedridden grandmother. Just something for her to use Facebook on and watch videos, so it was quite effective for its purpose. It gathers dust now since she passed, but it ran well with Windows 10.
The EC REP address is not where it’s from. It’s the address in the EU of the company who signs off on the quality and regulatory process for medical device products on the European market
I have an HP laptop like this. It has an AMD A6-9225 dual core processor with 4 GB of ram(initially), integrated R4 graphics, and a 1TB HDD. It would barely boot with all the preloaded HP garbage on it. Once I wiped it and installed a clean version of windows 10, it would boot in a reasonable time, but struggled to even use a browser to surf the internet or watch youtube. Gaming was impossible. I gave it all the help I could with a cheap SSD and maxing out the ram, but the motherboard only had one sodimm slot that maxed out at 8GB. The boot times got a LOT better and it didn't seem to struggle as much, but it still can't do anything more than browse the internet. I basically use it like a chromebook and use it where I don't care if it gets damaged, lost, or stolen.
I bought a mini PC with the J4125, 8gb RAM, and 128GB SSD for less than $100 over a year ago. I must admit, my system is great for surfing and VERY light games(perfect for the application I needed). $300 for similar setup in a laptop seems overpriced. With that said, Great video Dawid, very entertaining!

I find some of these types of laptops and Chromebooks a joke when it comes to the thought of gaming. But, I usually look at them as something for someone just just needs basics/productivity type work that can still use cloud gaming on them if they get a hankering to game some.
Celeron tho, real friends don't let people they love around Celerons. Even a dual-core but full-fat cores will do better, like U-class Intel CPUs (I'd say 5th Gen the latest I'd go) or most step-up laptops nowadays if you want new like 11th gen i3s and whatever the Ryzen laptop equivalent is (I don't follow low-end laptop much)
@@Fay7666 Intel did some magic with renaming brands. Architecturally this is an Intel Atom. Originally Celerons were derived from the main i-series/desktop architecture like the rest. J and N Celerons and Pentiums are rebadged Atoms. So even the lowest tier of desktop-based CPU would be better.
Wish you do more laptop reviews! Love your edits
from temu i expect the little chinese meme song to be played
Love the videos my Canadian Brethren, keep them fantastic videos coming!
I will do 1 Pushup for every like i get on this comment 💪🏻
Definitely botted, for a start, his first video is a "thank you for 100k subscribers" video, sure. Also your subscribers go up by 100 each time, scummy "youtuber" botting subs to feel special. get a girlfriend
You probably also use some bot to make random comments to fish some legit subscribers. seriously, get a girlfriend and take a shower.
i will spend 1 hour in bed for every like this coment gets
Get a job/ hobby first mate
@@cessnacitation-x wtf are you even talking about lmao.
Quick thing:
The reason the copper on the inner side of the heat spreader looked "sickly" was because of electrical insulation tape (you can also see it around the CPU die), which was surprising to see since it can get real damn expensive
Guess he means he doesn't have to deal with a real OS 😂
As a German, I can confirm that most of our electronic devices are in fact made out of Bratwurst!
I hate videos like this...people buy something crappy from a shady seller (i.e. Temu / Ebay / Ali Express) and then proceed to complain about everything wrong with it.
1:16 keep the jokes on us germans low! Otherwise we will convince be quiet to cancel your partnership!😂
Kinda wish people stopped giving money to those crappy AliExpress re-sellers :\
My god Dawid, is there no end to your tolerance for tech pain?
he needs do to these evil crab hardware, he loved it...
why always crab here ?
Imagine making fun of the laptop for 15 minutes that can’t game but isn’t even considered a gaming laptop and cost C$200 you can’t even get a Chromebook for the price quality on this channel became really low
the phrasing at 3:51
"More than enough to accommodate me."
Snapple: How fake do you want your Macbook pro?
Me: Very!
This is just taking the piss out of the laptop, not a checkout. He saw the CPU, memory, etc, and chose GTA5 and CS:GO!!!
$300 its too much. The Chuwi herobook pro with intel n4000 8/256GB in alliuminium case costs $170
I am convinced they only created Temu as a content machine for Dawid to sprinkle in some variety between AliExpress and Amazon
dude you are my fav tech yoututber keep doing what you doing.
To be fair, most of the speaker holes on the macbook air is just dimples with black paint. So it kind of is closer to Apple than you might think!
The Deep Cool ad spot really wasn't terrible.
Using the laptop couldn't be as painful as watching this video
I didn't think I was a fan of anyone, until just now. Great vid as always mate. Looking forward to the next one! 😊
The thermal pad is used because it can deal with more tolerance than thermal paste. if you replaced it with paste I would assume really poor transfer or possibly nearly none due to cybertruck tier tolerances.
I bought a 15,6" laptop very similar to this from Teclast, it has J3455 and only 6GB of RAM, but it has very decent IPS screen, with good view angles, perfect for media consumption and some very light 2D games. The difference is that i got for 120$, 260$ is a lot for that laptop.
That's so painful to watch. I've seen stone tablets with faster rending times.
This laptop unboxing experience actually looks better than Lenovo Loq unboxing lol
Hey man, didn’t watch your videos for a while and came back to the channel, lookin sharp. Nice haircut
I can confirm this is the Chuwi Herobook, which I bought 3 years ago. For €199
A screen on a fan cooler is definitely something I've never seen before. Really cool. But I don't need any computer parts anymore.

what's up with that uptime status?
It's weird to see newly initialized windows that came with such a huge uptime.
"Assembled by 3 sweatshop slave children"...man, that was vicious
you know it's serious when the 1st song in the video is the benchmark song
I have a Chromebook with a similar cooling solution and i was curious how much it actually did. So I removed it. The temps under full load from the chromebook diagnostic test were 50 with the copper and 70-80 without the copper. the clocks also never dropped from max turbo (2.58Ghz)
Look at you, bragging you had a grandmother 25 years ago, such a fancy lad!
gaming on a laptop is like saying you're happy that you have syphilis
I remember buying a laptop with this exact same chip for $250 USD about 4 years ago for my bedridden grandmother. Just something for her to use Facebook on and watch videos, so it was quite effective for its purpose. It gathers dust now since she passed, but it ran well with Windows 10.
The EC REP address is not where it’s from. It’s the address in the EU of the company who signs off on the quality and regulatory process for medical device products on the European market
it's funny to see the KUU Power Adapter, because "cu" in portuguese means a$$
It does! 😂
I pay for premium TH-cam I hate ads. That’s the only part of your videos I don’t like. Great video
I have an HP laptop like this. It has an AMD A6-9225 dual core processor with 4 GB of ram(initially), integrated R4 graphics, and a 1TB HDD. It would barely boot with all the preloaded HP garbage on it. Once I wiped it and installed a clean version of windows 10, it would boot in a reasonable time, but struggled to even use a browser to surf the internet or watch youtube. Gaming was impossible. I gave it all the help I could with a cheap SSD and maxing out the ram, but the motherboard only had one sodimm slot that maxed out at 8GB. The boot times got a LOT better and it didn't seem to struggle as much, but it still can't do anything more than browse the internet. I basically use it like a chromebook and use it where I don't care if it gets damaged, lost, or stolen.
I bought a mini PC with the J4125, 8gb RAM, and 128GB SSD for less than $100 over a year ago. I must admit, my system is great for surfing and VERY light games(perfect for the application I needed). $300 for similar setup in a laptop seems overpriced. With that said, Great video Dawid, very entertaining!
