As an IT manager, I’ve spent my fair share of time in data centers. I’ve even spend a couple summers interning there as well. For all my experience, I was always surprised by how outdated the setup was. Some companies even had whole desk and chair setup so you could put up a desktop or a laptop to connect to the environment. Having to move to another cage was always a hassle and I know the powerplug/ethernet cable dance by heart. All this to say that this handheld-PC is the absolute dream for anyone working in a datacenter with any frequency. Not only is it small and easily portable, but it has a myriad of ports to connect to machines and even an ethernet jack (something many other companies are dropping off PCs these days) so you can plug directly into the network environment – not that most Data Centers do NOT allow wifi networks, so a direct connection is the best, and only, way to go. The USB-A port is also great for connecting older tech like a USB to Serial port adapters, Firewall connectors and even external PCs. This little guy has enough RAM and processing power that I was able to transfer 3TB in about 2 hours from USB external drive through the PC to a PURE NAS via Ethernet – all while running Youtube Music and re-imaging the secondary High Availability (HA) firewall. Outside of work, the screen is touch-enabled and rotates. Many a time I’ve read some e-books while waiting or on the train or used it as a notebook with the (included) stylus, you can easily pop open OneNote and scribble down notes without an issue. While the digitizer isn’t perfect, I tried using paint and could make smooth-enough lines. Obviously, I’m not Picasso, but it serves. The battery life is also great, getting me through an entire server deployment on one charge with enough leftover to keep my entertained on the ride home. While this can be the perfect datacenter PC, it also would be great for anyone who needs a little PC that can be carried and stored easily and is always available to just DO. I mean, you could even take it camping (if you’re brave enough). Oh, also it has USB-C charging with is even more versatile than ever. 5 Stars and this is a definite part of my go-bag going forward!

I didn’t expect much from such a small laptop, but it really surprised me in a good way. The screen is bright, colors look nice, and it turns all the way around, so I can use it like a tablet. The touch screen works smoothly, and I even tried writing with my stylus, it responds well. For such a tiny device, it’s fast. I can watch YouTube, browse the internet, and work on documents without it slowing down. Having 12GB RAM and a 1TB SSD means there’s plenty of space and it runs multiple things at once without a problem. It’s super light, so I just throw it in my bag and take it everywhere. Wi-Fi is quick, Bluetooth connects instantly, and I like having the HDMI port for a bigger screen at home. The camera is okay for calls, nothing special but does the job. The only thing I’d change is the battery life, it lasts around 5 hours for me, so I keep the charger with me. But honestly, for the price and size, it’s perfect for travel, school, or working on the go. I’m really happy I bought it.

I bought anD receiveD this back in August (3 months ago). At first, this workeD wonDerfully. I DiDn't like WinDows 11 (it got so hot anD maDe a bunch of noise even when I DiDn't have any apps running), so I installeD Linux Mint insteaD anD it workeD very well. It maDe no sounD, ran smooth, anD was great from general working anD streaming, for a while. Eventually, the keyboarD starteD giving me problems. First, the right arrow key malfunctioneD. I was watching a Youtube viDeo when the viDeo suDDenly starteD skipping forwarD, until the right arrow key just stoppeD working entirely. I thought it probably broke since I constantly useD that key to skip viDeos forwarD, but no. Just this week, I founD myself lockeD out of my account. I reset my passworD, loggeD into my account, anD realizeD that my keyboarD malfunctioneD again, but in a Different, unexpecteD way. Were you wonDering why all the Ds in this review is capitalizeD? It's because every time I press D, the keyboarD also now registers D+Shift, which was the cause of me being lockeD out since my original passworD haD a lowercase D. The Shift key also now presses PrintScreen, so my PC keeps trying to take a screenshot. I can't even use the number symbols anymore because of this, so I can't write any email aDDresses for work. AnD before anyone claims that it was Linux Mint's fault, no. I reverteD to an olD backup before the problems starteD anD it's still there. I ran a Different Linux Distro anD it's still there. I even reinstalleD WinDows 11 anD, as you can plainly see, it's still there! I absolutely loveD this thing at first, but now it's become absolutely unusable. I regret ever buying this. Will finD a replacement soon. EDIT: It's 5 months after purchase anD this laptop is cookeD. Battery barely lasts 3 hours now. It also completely Drains in sleep moDe. Don't buy this if you intenD to use this very frequently.

Pros: Tiny, full laptop, N100 provides reasonable performance (far better than Nxxxx and Jxxxx laptops). Far cheaper but much less powerful than the same-sized GPD laptops. 2280 NVME can be upgraded. Solid build. USB-C + USB-A and HDMI and RJ45 ethernet. No crapware. The only customization is the boot BIOS logo screen otherwise these are all the same. Not a chromebook. Cons: Keyboard design layout. The QWERTYUIOP row is grossly misaligned for touch-typing. What should be the backspace key is a forward-delete, and the tiny forward delete key (which most people don't even use) is the actual backspace. No way to scroll up/down with the mouse. Magnetic stylus barely sticks to the lid. The split space bar design is pretty mediocre. This same laptop is sold by many names and prices on Temu, Aliexpress, and Amazon (Pocket 8, P8, Crelander, Mini 8, Koosmile, etc.) Shopping for a good deal on Amazon you can get it for $360 versus $400-$470. It's only about $30 more on Amazon than on Temu (Crelander) so definitely worth getting it through Amazon. And again, much cheaper than the far more powerful GPD mini laptops. Works great with a portable/bluetooth keyboard/trackpad with is pretty much a necessity given the bad keyboard row alignment. The main similarly budget alternative would be a 10-inch N100 or N150 laptop by Chuwi or an 8-inch from X+ Piccolo. It's a modern alternative to the classic Toshiba Libretto and twice as fast as the last 11-inch Macbook (early 2015 Air) from Apple. The Intel N100 is really pretty darn impressive, but it is NOT a Core i3/i5/i7. For a lot of people this laptop is great. However 8-inches for a laptop clearly requires some very intelligent product design for the keybaord+mouse which unfortunately is not delivered here. With a portable keyboard though this becomes a lot more viable. Photo: this laptop versus the 11-inch 2015 Macbook

With my current job, I have to travel a lot and this laptop is a perfect one for it. It is very light weight, portable to carry anywhere and fully support anything that I need. With the USB C charging port, I dont have to carry an extra power cord for this laptop which makes it very convenient. Touch screen is very sensitive and good, even I dont use this feature much but it is nice to have. It is turn around 360 degree which can easy to flip into a tablet mode for playing game as well. It also has the Ethernet port which is pretty cool since most of the modern and thin laptop nowadays will not have it. I need it when using to troubleshoot the Network issue and needs a direct connect not wifi. Battery life is pretty long and would last for a few days for my using. I basically just want to checking email, remote back to my home system and doing video call sometime. Basic office stuffs would be easier to handle with this machine. It is installed with W11 and just need to run an update to patch the current version then it is good to go. I like it so much and carry it with me for every trips from now on.

UPDATE: today I received the mini laptop that I ordered to replace this original machine (that has the bubble under the factory-installed touchscreen film / screen protector). I am happy to report this second unit's film is perfect. I am sending back the defective unit and will be keeping the replacement, because it is an awesome mini laptop. ________________ I wanted this mini Windows notebook for when traveling on long-haul flights to Asia (14 to 15 hr flight from SFO to the Far East); at less than three pounds this machine is far better than my having to lug a 17" notebook that weighs 7 lbs with the charger. When this arrived it did not disappoint. It is a high quality, fully featured notebook. And it comes with Windows 11 Pro, a nice touch considering nowadays many consumer notebooks come installed with Windows Home Edition. Also kewl, it has all the ports you need for this notebook to function as a full-size PC (HDMI; USB 3.0; USB-C; RJ45 network port; old school, 3.5mm audio jack/port). Other things I like: display is crisp, sharp, and bright; the rotating touchscreen display; a decent integrated mouse; the backlit keyboard; an included stylus; and the excellent specs (1TB storage; 12GB RAM; Bluetooth 5.0; fast processor; etc.) Alas, I am returning the machine because underneath the preinstalled touchscreen film / screen protector there's an air bubble, about half the size of a pea. It is noticeable whether the display background is white or black. If this was a $200 machine I would simply ignore that bubble on the screen, but for $513 USD (taxes included), I demand better. So I regretfully returned the machine today. But I like this little guy so much that I immediately bought a second one, and simply will wait for the refund on the return. P.S. I could have rated this with fewer stars, but for now I don't think this otherwise fine machine should be poorly rated simply because of a bubble underneath the screen protector. But if the second one has a detectable bubble on the dispaly, that would burn my bacon and negatively affect the stars I give. P.P.S. Yes, I did try to GENTLY press the bubble to see if I could get rid of it, but the touchscreen film/screen protector is too thick, massaging it had zero effect on the bubble.

I’ve been on a lookout for this compact form factor windows laptop for a while now and every time I got one it was poor quality. This is the first one with a metal shell so that’s already off to a good start. The unboxing experience was on par with major US manufacturers such as HP and Dell. It came with a nice box and a nice plastic wrap - it’s clear that they’re trying to make a name for themselves and gain recognition in the market. The included accessories were a stylus (surprisingly also high build quality), a USB C charger (so you can charge it with any other USB C cable which is a standard but still nice), and two keyboard silicone covers neither of which are US keyboard adapted. The keyboard itself is incredibly nice to touch, by the way, totally not expected from Chinese brand. Right off the bat, the main downside is there’s nowhere to reliably store the stylus like on an iPad where you can magnetically attach it - if there is, I haven’t found it yet. The startup process will take a solid half an hour so go get that charger and buckle up. Once you’re done - connect your android when it asks you. Trust me you want that function it makes the laptop feel like a MacBook. Oh and did I mention? It supports thunderbolt hub. Meaning one usb c cable will: charge, connect HDMI, mouse, keyboard and as many USB ports as you want. The little mouse pad is a little funky - external mouse is the way to go. So is the keyboard but then again don’t expect miracles from an iPad mini form factor. Overall this is a great little laptop and I don’t have any major complaints. But as always, expect an update from me if anything goes wrong.

Amazing little computer, surprisingly fast. Actually surprised & happy with the quality and performance of this little beast. Definitely small but that's the whole glory of it! So easy to carry around, to work, etc. Some say mouse is a little funky but my husband & I both felt it was a touch different but still easy to use. This is a versatile, fast starting, fast running small personal assistant for us. We both were quite impressed and very happy with it! We did purchase on sale for about $60 less than current price but would definitely recommend.
