so it is day one of the $149.99 dollar laptop struggle I must say there are a few things I am very impressed with in a few things I have been let down by over the course of just one day with this computer one of the things that I do enjoy about this computer is the fact that there are two USB ports not just one so coming from the Acer 110 to this computer it was nice to be able to utilize two USB ports I would not be able to hook up for one this blue microphone here and a nice cheap it's not really nice at all it's just a cheap Mouse to be able to you know navigate quicker versus using this little touchpad right here so it's nice to have those two I didn't think that that would come in as handy as it did but given my current situation that is nice to have two of those USB ports I didn't bother downloading steam for the for two reasons actually the first reason is because I don't have enough storage to probably even download a single game from Steam I think I have the most five gigabytes left let's see over here I have six well six-and-a-half gigs of available storage and I know there are some games that I could download from Steam that would that wouldn't take up all that space but I'm just going to end up deleting them anyway and I wouldn't recommend even downloading Steam on this device because this is not meant to game so don't buy this thing for strictly for gaming but I will show you that you can get by with certain certain games minecraft is obviously the one that that comes to mind at least for me so find the application here so like I said in the first first video of this laptop here about 30 to 40 FPS while you're on the surface roaming around doing whatever obviously when you start you know blowing up blocks or planting a lot of stuff or maybe using a shovel and taking up a lot of dirt or something some weird like that then you're going to start seeing those dips in FPS and I did run fraps and I even tried to record a few times and it was it was decent for the most part I would say one thing I like to do when I play Minecraft and any machine is perform the TNT detonation test so I'll take a single block of TNT and detonate it and then a three by three by three block of TNT and detonate it and then a five by five by five block of TNT and detonate it and see how that affects performance particularly the frames per second that you're receiving in mind itself and this computer did not do well at all even a single block of TNT pretty much dropped these for the frames-per-second counter to zero in fraps it would it lagged for a long time so if you plan on exploding anything in Minecraft don't you in all honesty though you could play this game just fine on this computer if that's all you are expecting to do is play minecraft something office theme would be a lot more difficult to have for one just download alone to find enough storage to store the game itself but then also to run integrated HD graphics not ideal for any of that at all and I mentioned that the first video as well another thing I want to show you has to do with CPU synthetic so you know I like to run Siddha bench and geek bench and all those things and I did touch on those scores in the original video for this laptop but another thing I wanted to do was run I 264 and essentially what this is going to do is stress our CPU pretty much to its limit and we can get an idea for how hot this computer gets I would like to point out first and foremost that there is a section of this computer that gets fairly hot much hotter than the other sections of the computer and it's up here in the upper left hand corner underneath the WASD directional keypad area I believe that the CPU is located directly under here it does it very hot even though this entire computer is passively cooled so you don't have to worry about hearing anything when it gets loud but the fact that it is passively cool does cut into the computer's ability to dissipate heat and that's what you notice when this computer is playing games like minecraft or doing some pretty intensive CPU tasks like I was doing a couple days ago and I was the video editing with this thing even moviemaker is very taxing on this machine we are going to stress each core and we're going to see how hot things get so currently right now now keep in mind that I am running audacity at the moment with this microphone so that's already running on the background and our CPU temperatures are currently at around 42 to 43 degrees and you can actually feel that heat kind of moving making its way through the keyboard at least but I am going to turn that on right now and give you guys an idea for how hot this thing will get under full load so I'll go ahead and click start and our CPU usage is at 100% I also want to see if this thing thermal throttles at all I'll be interested to see how hot this thing gets and then at what point the CPU begins to throttle its overall frequency so that'll be interesting okay so actually this is very surprising or if we've just been under about two or three minutes worth of load actually we haven't even gotten two minutes yet but things have definitely already beyond a level off I think our highest CPU core temperature is 53 degrees which is not a big difference at all from the 43 degrees that we were achieving just kind of under idle again with the exception of audacity running in the background with this microphone so no telling how much stress this is putting on it alone I will be interested to find that out as well other than that the gameplay and CPU synthetics are there their par they're on par with what I would expect for a laptop like this but where things are definitely going to start to change I already know this from experience as when you start video editing photo editing music editing all of those kinds of things anything with editing at the end of it will be very very difficult for this computer to handle and that's what I'm going to cover in the second vlog regarding this laptop and my ability to use it to upload videos to the channel for you guys all to see so thanks for sticking around I will post further updates and I will let you know if this thing is getting on my nerves yet not yet but it's probably it's gonna it's gonna happen it's gonna happen this is science studio everyone thanks for learning with this you
