Mini Laptop PC All Metal 8-Inch Touchscreen Gaming Notebook Computer 12th Gen CPU Alder Lake-N N100 Windows 11 12G RAM/1TB SSD with Webcam

This thing is, for all intents and purposes, a netbook and should be used as one. It's not rugged, to be careful handling it. Surfing the web and word processing is what it's best at and can do a bit more but don't expect to do any gaming. It handles Norton, Opera GX, and Spotify running at the same time, so it's proved itself in multitasking. Will actually run Gimp drawing program to a decent degree. The hinge gets a little iffy over time but it's holding. The plate covering the hinge in the middle popped off (from my mishandling) revealing that junction is made of metal parts. The optic mouse is a little awkward because it supports tap clicking and no way to turn it off, though pairs with Bluetooth mice nicely. Backlit keyboard illuminates clearly and is adjustable. Touchscreen is very responsive and plays well with a mouse. Only drawback to tablet mode is after a moment of standby, there's no external button to wake it. You have to sneak the under the screen to the keyboard and press a button. Battery life is atrocious and understandably so. The more you make it do, the faster it burns through. Web surfing? You're golden for several hours. Playing with generative ai? It's dead in 20 minutes. Biggest drawback if all, I have no idea where to get drivers if I have to format this for any reason.

Very cute small full featured 2in1 Windows 11 laptop. Very useful in small spaces, for example in datacenter between the racks. I don't need separate charger for it since it is USB-C charging, just like my phone.

This is a neat little device featuring the Intel N100 processor. I'm an aficionado of tiny laptops and devices for the times you need something more than a smartphone, but a full laptop is overkill. I liked nearly everything about this smol computer, a very versatile and portable design with a quality build and a nice little screen. The "mouse" sensor works okay and isn't my favorite thing, but it's understandable given the size of the device. As other reviews have noted, the device is thicker than expected. I also found the hinge/swivel mechanism the screen is mounted on is a little unwieldy and too large for such a small device. These weren't deal killers for me. Windows 11 runs well -- I did a clean install and was able to activate Windows without issue. The N100 is powerful and makes this a much more practical device than ultraportable PCs of the past, especially when hooked up to an external monitor. Ultimately, the deal killer for me is the keyboard layout, which is nonstandard and frustrates any efforts to touch type, slow type, or most other typing on this thing, rendering it nearly useless for me -- I'd rather use a tablet than this, and my tablets have a larger screen even if they don't have a keyboard. I ended up buying and keeping a 7-inch mini laptop elsewhere (known as the Topton L4 or by a dozen other names) with a lower power Celeron processor, because the keyboard design on the 7-inch mini is FAR better and makes that much more usable for most folks for any purpose.

Bad battery. On charger overnight, battery never fully charged, only worked for about 2 hours. And if plugged into battery charger, one less option for plugging in dock for all the add ons. The pivot hinge seemed fragile. Oddly positioned keyboard takes a little typing muscle memory adjustment. I did appreciate the small size and portability. Weighs more than advertised.

I like the form factor, there is a lot of potential for this computer to work for my mobile office needs. However, it seems to start up with the screen upside down and glitches once every 3 or 4 start ups. I'm not really impressed with this out of the box but will see if I can identify the error. Tried to do a windows restore to fix the random startup issues, computer wouldn't turn on past a black screen after the restore. I could enter bios but evidently there were issues here beyond what I would consider average computer knowledge so the laptop was returned. I'd have exchanged for another hoping I just got a bad unit but the supplier was out of the 1tb edition.

The first thing you should know is that the CPU in this computer is not what you would find in most computers. It is more like a specialized CPU for smaller light-duty computers. This isn't something you would buy hoping to game in 4k on. This is more for browsing the internet, watching YouTube, and drawing on. That's not to say you can't game on it you can run lighter games without any issues such as WOW, Runescape, Genshin Impact, Etc. However, I wouldn't personally get this for gaming alone. One of the better features of this product is that it is a touch screen and you can rotate the screen and lay it flat to essentially make this a tablet that runs Windows 11. For people who like to draw This is an amazing feature. This could also be a great bridge for teaching a kid how to use a computer but still giving them the tablet experience they're used to. Do note that this does not come with a stylus you will have to buy that separately. The last thing I'll say about this computer is a little hack for someone thinking about getting it but is unsure of the size. You can get an HDMI cord and another bigger monitor/TV and plug the laptop into that giving you the computer on a way bigger screen. Then let's say you want a full keyboard and an actual mouse. You can get one of those 2 in 1 keyboard-mouse combo kits that run off of 1 USB dongle (This is important because there is only 1 USB port on this computer.) Then you have whatever size screen you want, a full-size keyboard, and a mouse.

HARDWARE: It's hard to describe how cool this little device it. My daughter calls it cute. It runs Windows 11 Pro and has decent specs. I won't work well for hardcore gaming, livestreaming, video editing, or intensive photo editing. However, it's perfect to use on the go for web browsing, watching videos, taking notes, or giving presentations. The form factor is really small (about the size of a hardback book). It's heavier than it looks, which is probably because of everything packed inside. It also charges via USB-PD, so you don't have to carry around a proprietary charger. INTERFACE: The keyboard is a bit small, but it's usable and the keys have good response. The hardest part of this is that there is no trackpad. There's a little touch-sensitive nub under the spacebar with right and left mouse keys below it. You don't push the nub side-to-side like on a Lenovo, but you brush your finger over it to move the curser. You can also tap the nub to click. It's not the best, but it works. I find myself using the touchscreen almost exclusively instead of the cursor nub. Actually, unless I need the keyboard, I just flip the screen around and use it like a tablet. THIS VS. A TABLET: I most often use this with the screen flipped around and laid flat on the keyboard. So one might ask why not just use a tablet. There are a few good reasons: #1 - It runs Windows and all the same applications I have on my main work computer. #2 - It has standard USB ports and a full-size HDMI port. #3 - It has a keyboard for when I want to use it to modify files and take notes. #4 - It's smaller (albeit thicker) than most tablets. #5 - It has an ethernet port. I am not doing the bulk of my work on this machine. However, it's great to take to conferences to take notes and to use when presenting. I can drop a file from my work computer onto a USB drive or network drive and pick it up, open, modify, and project from this device. No special cables, apps, or other go-betweens are needed. When I'm not working, I can set it up and watch a movie or TV on it like the old-time portable DVD players. And, as my daughter says, it's cute.

I've found this little PC/tablet to be useful in some situations, but know I can't use it exclusively. It's small and compact, about the size of a hardback book but is significantly heavier than I expected. Not so heavy that I can't carry it around in a satchel or briefcase, but heavy enough that I can't comfortably hold it for long while standing or to read an e-book for example. The keyboard is, of course, smaller than I'm used to and so is more difficult to type on. There is no normal trackpad but rather a tiny nub that you can use to run your finger over and use as a mouse It's very sensitive and works OK once I got used to it. But frankly, it's so much easier to use the touch screen. It has a nice variety of ports: USB, full-size HDMI, and ethernet. Don't expect to use this little fellow for high-end gaming or livestreaming. It just doesn't have the oomph. But for specific uses such as when you need a Windows-compatible PC to travel with and transfer files, it works great.
