This $200 Laptop Can Survive Water?!

2017-03-22
hey guys Boston this might be the most rugged laptop you'll find for $200 so this is the Isuzu Chromebook see 202's now on top of being a rugged laptop it's also got pretty decent specs for $200 inside the box we're really not going to be getting a lot we get part of the power cable as well as the laptop it's so take a look at it and what you're getting here for about the same price is most cheap laptops and Chromebooks is something that should be a lot more durable so it's got this rubber coating that goes all the way around the edges which should especially help for drop open this guy up and something else interesting is the keyboard so this is water-resistant so no you should not go swimming with your brand-new laptop but for example if you drop a drink on it it should be fine so well it might be just a little bit on the thicker side there's not a lot of compromising the design so you still have full articulation of the actual displays so and you also have a pretty solid selection of ports including a pair of USB 3.0 as well as HDMI out the C 202 is rocking an 11.6 inch 1366 by 768 display now it's not IPS so you have to keep your expectations a little bit lower however I've looked at a lot of these cheaper laptops and this is not a bad display viewing angles are acceptable colors pretty decent it's not going to blow you away but it's totally usable another probably gonna want to think of one of these guys the speakers are not amazing so a big part of that is because since this is a rugged laptop the speakers are sort of touched here on the sides and they're a little bit recessed they sounds okay but you're probably going to want to pick up some headphone something a little bit odd is that even though it has an Intel Pentium sticker on it it's actually powered by us so on in 30-60 processor now that paired with four gigabytes of RAM means that this is plenty powerful enough for Chrome OS but the fact that it's got the wrong thing on it is a little bit weird the keyboard is a little bit mushy but since its water-resistant I'll give it a pass there it does have a good layout with nice spacing the trackpad is a little bit on the honestly erratic side it's just maybe not quite as precise as I'd like but again this is a $200 rugged computer you're not buying this for the amazing typing experience what you do want to pick it up for is to see whether it can actually survive falling off your desk or getting hit by a water balloon the idea is that this is a good laptop for school or work so not only is it a Chromebook you have the full browser as well as stuff like Google Docs but it says claims that it can a three-foot drop example if you knock it off a table or dead but let's put that to the test 3 2 1 oh that hurt it looks okay though so there's a little bit of scuff on the rubber and a little beat up here doesn't sound good but the laptops still worse so maybe not something you want to do with your laptop all the time but it was a pretty decent drop and it did survive this is not a waterproof laptop the idea is is that if you accidentally say knock your drink on the keyboard it should be able to survive 3 2 1 it looks like it still works the screens still on so well the tripod is not exactly working but yo totally works we are good to go I mean it's really wet right now and you probably want to let this dry out but the laptop still works time to take it up a notch so this is in no way meant to be able to survive a water balloon but since it's done well so far let's see kind of nervous right now ah thank you thank you I got a little nervous door that 3 2 1 oh no it's so alive I mean it's completely soaking wet oh we got a little bit of like screen bleed here so it's maybe not in the greatest shape ever but it's still alive screen has seen better days but this is a properly rugged laptop for $200 you know it just died good night we actually do live so after drying out overnight the Chromebook has come back to life so if you look there's a little bit of damage to the screen so this is probably going to be permanent but of course this is not meant to be able to handle a water balloon to the screen it's more for things like spills and drops so as always I'll have a link to check this guy out in the description I'm curious what do you guys think about the Chromebook let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one it'll all be over soon bow guy don't you worry
