Lenovo likes hiding screws under the glued on feet at the bottom of the laptop. That's probably why you couldn't get it open lol.
-
The impressive thing is that it comes with both a keyboard and a touch screen and it is easily turned into a tablet by flipping. Those features alone would probably inflate a macbook's price for about a kidney and half a liver.

Reminds me of my Lenovo 100e, those were selling for $99 in 2019. Wasn't fast but it sure did the job and survived everything. Sat in a car for 8 months through both summer and winter, got thrown around, went with me on several road trips and plane rides, got dropped pretty hard from a good height. Only broke when someone ran it over with a car 3 years after I got it. Can't really complain for $99
-
Wait a touch screen for a $100. That's actually insane. This is so worth it
-
"This laptop puts out less warmth than the soul of an Nvidia exec". Holy FUCK that was savage
-
For the issue disassembling it, there are screws under the rubber feet strips. I found that in a HP laptop and it gave me a run for my money.
-
Damn, that's actually pretty cool. I wouldn't have a reason to buy one of these now of course, but if this existed at this price back when I was in middle school, I would have been one happy kid.
-
It's 190 USD.

the sarcasm is why i stick around......your entertaining entertainment is why i love this channel

I have a slightly older Celeron-based Lenovo Chromebook very similar to this. One of the first things I did was set up the built-in linux VM and get Shovel Knight running in Steam. It was 100% playable, which might not SOUND impressive, but you have to remember that it's a 2D game using cleverly hidden 3D assets. I'm amazed that it even launched in that environment. On top of that, it had 4k60hz video out over USB-C on BOTH PORTS. Find the right chromebook and you have yourself a very capable little box for light tinkering, media playback and probably even linux server applications. Not a bad alternative to a raspberry pi considering their current asking price.

I actually bought that laptop and took it with me on a business trip. I only needed it to do web based invoice type stuff and it did well. It runs similar to my Lenovo Duet, I believe it's a similar if not the same processor.

Bro looks lean 👍

Damn, $99 chromebooks have gotten way better than 5 years ago when I got one! Mine was a 10 inch screen, keyboard that felt bad, touchpad that felt bad, no touchscreen, no tablet mode, etc...
-
"it does feel like we're gaming on a casio digital watch" that was a good savage comment about chromebooks
-
I worked fixing chromebooks in highschool and sometimes it is common for the keyboard to open as opposed ti the back (making for easy keyboard/track pad replacements) maybe that's why you weren't able to access it?
-
I have the same laptop with an Intel celeron in it, and the thing is passively cooled! I bought it in India, and it was ₹25k (roughly $312).
-
Reminds me of the netbooks back in the windows XP-Vista era. They were normally powered by the Intel atom and costed anywhere from $200-$400
-
I was able to score a 17" Chromebook for about $100 from Best Buy on a liquidation sale. It's not bad for the money.
