**Graphics Quality Up, Up, Up, Up, Up**

I feel like this should work.

Okay. I think realistically, I'm probably gonna need to try to re-install Valerian to see what it's all about, but I have an idea.

Now it's one thing for me to sit here and play with what I think could potentially be one of the worst new pieces you can buy. Certainly one of the cheapest new desktop all-in-ones that you can buy.

But the real question is, what do people want me to actually do with this thing? I know for me, I wanna try to play games on it and see how it works. But something tells me that what I do with a super cheap PC is slightly different than what most people who actually buy something like this are actually gonna do.

**Linus Reviews Leggings**

Oh, wait till you walk by the group of kids. Oh no, do I have to go that? Can we please turn this off?

No. Go.

Hello! How's it going? Don't watch this channel; it's a bad channel. I hate both of you. Both of you. All right guys, this is enough. I'm leaving now. Can I take off the shirt yet at least?

No.

W-what sick pleasure do you get out of this?

Well, why is there an iPad here?

So, I think that this is a better value than that thing that you have on your back.

Which iPad is this?

It is the 7th gen base iPad.

Base iPad. So this was like $330 new. That was two years ago, three years ago.

Now it is around $280 on eBay.

Yes. So about a hundred dollars less than this contraption.

**Scientific Test**

Well, this has Geekbench on it. Yeah. Oh-- Did you install Geekbench on my back?

Yes. Yeah. Why not?

If we're being somewhat practical and not just haha Austin was wearing a Linus Tech Tip shirt. The iPad actually is what I would recommend for most people who are considering an all-in-one like this, because the iPad, while it's portable, is a great device for the home.

It has a lot of power and a lot of the stuff that you do on this like web browsing and Facebook and that kind of stuff is done really better on an iPad. It's a much more sort-of comfy form factor.

Is it plugged in because the battery was dead?

Yeah.

Great. This is such a scientific test.

Here's the only thing about this. You can get a cheap stand and use it like a computer anyway.

You can, you can.

And the 8th gen or the 7th gen, I think specifically was the one that added the smart connector. We actually can have a keyboard, which makes an iPad a lot more useful.

**A9 vs HP Qua**

Wait, this isn't- this is an A9. This shows up as a dual core processor. Interesting. Okay.

So our score is 764 on single-core, 1381 for multi-core. Well, hang on.

What's the score of my HP Qua?

What is it? What is it? What is it?

Single-core 484. Multi-core 854.

So even one core of this, which for some reason is showing up as two instead of four, one core of the iPad is basically as powerful as this entire system behind me.

**Portable All-in-One**

Look, I know this sounds ridiculous and you might not take anything seriously from a guy who's wearing a computer on his backpack with the Linus Tech Tip shirt on, but it is kind of jacked up that a brand new Windows 10 PC in the year 2021 can be as underpowered as this.

It is vaguely usable, but like if an old iPad, an old out of date, for some reason only using half its cores iPad is still that much more powerful. It should say something about the fact that I mean, if you really need Windows, they got you.

Other than that, look, look how much it takes to make this thing portable. Oh look; it's portable. So if that's not sales pitch, I don't know what is.

**Another Sales Pitch**

Another sales pitch I will give you is to make sure to subscribe to the channel and Ring Ding-A-Ling-A-Ling bell for more high-quality... Sorry, for more content like this. Quality notwithstanding.

**Why You Have a Computer on Your Back?**

Why you have a computer on your back?

...that's a long story and involves a lot of eighth graders.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- I hate both of you, both of you.- Are you embarrassed yet?(upbeat music)- So last year I did a video on this,the quite literally lowest spec,worst brand new PC you can buy.Well, lo and behold,after taking a trip to ourfriendly local Best Buy,there's an upgraded model thatcost of whopping $10 more.So let's find out if second time's a charmor if...$360 for a brand newall-in-one is still a bad idea.You know with the system like this,you have to keep yourexpectations somewhat low.We're looking at alow-end Intel processor.There's not a lot of RAM,not a lot of storage.I mean, who buys this system right?Sort of like businesses whowant a bare basic system.You know, there's probablya lot of grandmas out therewho don't need anythingmore than me able to browse Facebook.I mean-- Tech YouTubers arelike making the same video.- How dare you, Matt?Let's see what we get for 360 bucks.I'll immediately say here'ssome incredibly nice foam.That's probably worth like $9 right there.- Now uh...Yeah. Yeah.- Here's the system itself.Now, one of the thingsthat really drew myattention to this is thatthey have used this samechassis for other systems.So unlike the plastic fantastic over here,this actually has whatseems to be a metal standand you can actually buyfairly expensive versionsof this all-in-one.- You know, thisactually looks very similarto the iMac.- Do we just get a $360 iMac?- No, no, we did that.- Oh, that's actually pretty good.No wait. No-- I hate that a lot.- So there's bezels on three sides.- What!I mean, it looks better than this though.You gotta admit that.- No!- Absolutely.- Absolutely not.- Do you rather hasthis chunky white bezelall the way around comparedto a slightly weird looking-- Look-- Put a piece of tape right here.- Look.- Oh my- Really?- Is actually thething you're doing right now?- Mm-hmm (affirmative).- Okay. All right.Hey, Ken!- I know it's a little problemwith your creative fix.Look at my mouse cursor.Oh, where did it go?It's underneath the tape.- Well. So I thinkthey actually figuredthat since the task bar is blackthat no one would notice that-- Yeah, that looks fine.Guess what? When you'reactually using it looks fine.- No, it doesn't.- It looks fine.- All your iconsare touching the bottom.- Your iconsare touching my bottom.But look at these two side by side, right?Clearly they're similar butthe design here is a lot nicer.It's more angular.You've got black bezelsinstead of the white.You've got the speakersI assume down here.You've got the actual metal stand.It's got four USB ports, HDMI, ethernet.There is a slot for an optical disc drive,but there's nothing inhere unlike the original,which does have a full disc tray in here.So I guess you're losingthe optical drive.That's an optionalaccessory that your $360does not get you.We also of course have the camera,which I'm gonna try this next,cause I think this cameramight actually not becomplete garbage town.- That's actuallykind of impressive-- Yo! That's a good webcam.I mean, I will say, just to my eye,looking at the screen here,it looks totally reasonable.720p, a little bit fuzzy.I really don't know how theaudio is gonna sound but I mean-- That's pretty good.- Something else we'll say.So we've got that J4025 processor.It's nothing special, it's only dual core.4 gigs of RAM.Supposedly you wanna crack it open,which I don't think it's a good idea.You could add another 4 gigs of RAM.So there's apparently oneslot open on the inside.That's interesting.It does show it's sodium so directlythere's a little bit upgradability.You also do have a proper 120 gig SSD.That's nice because ifI move over... fine,I only have one mouse and keyboardso I'm just going to move this over.- Almost like we havesome mouse and keyboards,you just don't wanna get 'em.- That's fine.I'm just gonna plug this in over here.- Literally, inthe drawer right there.- For context,on paper, this is an A4,it's dual core withslightly high base speed,but it is very slow.Also 4 gigs of RAM althoughthis one had no expandabilityand a hard drive that is just sooooo slowlike oh my God.So... part of the reason that companiessuch as Hewlett Packard areable to sell a computer,brand new with a screenand keyboard and everythingfor 360 bucks is by bundling bloatware.And I'll tell ya, it feela little slow right now.What's eating up all my CPU?Wonder what it is.Wonder what it is.- Wait Hewlett Packard?- Yeah, HP.Did you not know that'swhat HP stands for?- Thought it meant hot poop.- (both laugh)Like these two PCs (laughs).- There's a bunch of stuffI want to dig into here.Is the windows 11 update assistant livecause I know they hadtaken it down for a bit.Can I download that?Coming soon. Oh, so it's not available.I'm pretty sure this isgoing to have TPM though.In fact, actually I can check to see.Yeah, there we go.So this processor is listedas compatible with Windows 11.So I guess that's a good thingspreading around really well,but it does run it technically.Let's- Let's try watchinga video real quickand see how that works.- Yep.- So that's a 60% volume.- That's actually pretty good.- That sounds great.I'm not going to say thatwe've cracked the codeand we found what secretly thegreatest laptop slash desktopthat's ever been sold at Best Buy.Cause that would just bean incorrect statement.What I will say is that firstimpressions are really solid.I'm about this thing right now.As soon as I've tried to load up a gameor do anything more demanding,probably not gonna be about this thing.I think it's more thanwe can say for this guy.- I think it's99 cents too expensive.- Oh my- will youstart playing with the tape?It's not a funny gagwhen you put it on and take it offlike three times in one video.This video is sponsoredby the Roborock S7.This autonomous vacuumis seriously impressive.Not only is S7 able toprecisely make a zonedmulti-floor map of yourhome using the LiDAR,but it can also workon a multitude of softand solid surfaces withultrasonic carpet recognition.And especially for the latter,the S7 also has built-inSonic-mopping tech,which is able to detect whenit's running on hard floors.It really is seamless.There's also an all-new rubber brush,which is even more durable.So the S7 run on whatschedule works best for you.Take advantage of restricted areasto set exactly where to clean.Use voice commands to control your robotand with the optional auto empty dock,your robot can empty itsdustbin for up to eight weekswithout you having to lift a finger.It is so cool to watchthis guy ride around,clean up everything in sight,and then go to take a breakand empty his dustbin,charge and then get back to work.So if you're ready for an upgrade,definitely be sure to check outthe link in the description.And of course, huge thank you to Roborockfor sponsoring this video.So one of the highlights,the first time aroundwhen we tested the bigger brotheror the older brother ofthis HP was getting Crysis.The original version ofCrysis up and running.Now that experience was, shallwe say less than optimal.So let's see what happens whenwe try to launch it on here.The thing is with thischip, generally speaking,this is speck little bitbetter than that original HPthat we looked at.However, this was also usingthe fairly lackluster Intel.I think it's like the HD 400 graphics.It's the lowest of thelow in Intel graphics.Oh, it's runs great on Core 2 Duo.So we're fine.Oh, scan hardware and detectoptimal system settings.Please do that.Mainstream spec. Mainstream isone step up from the minimum.I mean, that's not, that's not nothing.Okay. 18, 17 frames per second,but this looks likeactual real game play. Ah-I think this counts.I mean, it's not super smooth.Here, change all settings to minimum.Yo! We got 30 FPS boys!Okay. This is definitelybetter than the HP.The HP ran like absolute garbage town.Is it impressive that a $360 all-in-onein the year 2021 is capableof playing such an old game.Like I, some, some part ofme thinks this is really coolbecause I remember this game beinglike the actual absolute shit but also...it was pretty old at this point.Why don't we try something slightly newer.By slightly newer, I mean,when did Valerian come out? 2020? 2018?- Last year.- Valerian, a game from this decade.I say, this looks likeit's vaguely functioning.Excuse me?What? No.Oh God.All right.I'm gonna try to do thisa little bit more quickly.- Okay. So.- I don't know what to blame here.It just randomly shuts off,but like, is it crashing?Is it Valerian being weird?All right, let me...we're gonna restart itonce and give it a try.I feel that this should work though.I think it's gonna work well,but I feel like this should work.Graphics quality up, up, up, up, up.Connection error.Okay. I think realistically,I'm probably gonna need totry to re-install Valerianto see what it's all about,but I have an idea.Now it's one thing for me to sit hereand play with what Ithink could potentiallybe one of the worstnew pieces you can buy.Certainly one of the cheapest new desktopall-in-ones that you can buy.But the real question is,what do people want me toactually do with this thing?I know for me,I wanna try to play gameson it and see how it works.But something tells me thatwhat I do with a super cheap PCis slightly differentthan what most peoplewho actually buy something likethis are actually gonna do.What did I do to deserve this?I don't even know what video this is.It's like Linus reviewing leggings.Everyone is looking at me right now.Everyone's looking at me.- Oh, wait till youwalk by the group of kids.Oh no, do I have to go that?Can we please turn this off?- No. Go.(Ken laughs)- Hello!How's it going?Don't watch this channel,it's a bad channel.I hate both of you.Both of you.All right guys, this is enough.I'm leaving now.Can I take off the shirt yet at least?- No.- W-what sick pleasuredo you get out of this?Well, why is there an iPad here?- So, I think thatthis is a better valuethan that thing thatyou have on your back.- Which iPad is this?- It is the 7th gen base iPad.- Base iPad.So this was like $330 new.That was two years ago, three years ago.- Now it is around $280 on eBay.- Yes.
