Plot twist: 90% of Wish sales are now youtubers making content about questionable offers.
Dawid is finding crazy things on wish again
For real. Wish just exists for that purpose.
@@buggerlugz6753 youtubers: "I will buy it so you don't have to."
Any person with common sense: "wasn't gonna but aight"
More like 98% CZcamsr's are the only reason wish still exists.
I am sure that is one of their main sources of income. 😂
RGB TOILET SEAT COVERS?!! dam im gonna have to get one to complement my rgb bathtub
Oh for sure! You need to get on that train.
Hi dapz
Im going to get one of them for my dad, and see how he reacts
RGB showers are pretty lit, ngl
But do you even RGB backlight your mirror?
"Why is the frame rate getting better as I play Dota 2?"
It's the Celeron. Celeron's don't boost CPU clock speed immediately. For some reason the max base speed has to be at 100% for an amount of time before the CPU boost to max speed.
God I had Celerons.
@@nexxusty Celerons from back in the 2000s or modern Celerons? Modern Celerons are basically rebranded Atoms, the Atom name has become so toxic after the netbooks that Intel is reserving the name almost exclusively for low power server processors.
@@HyperShinchan - though it's worth saying that there's nothing wrong with Atoms; it's just that OEMs started trying to use them in totally inappropriate ways that they were never intended for.
@@clavius8182 naw, they are absolute molasses
Chuwi actually seems like a mildly reputable brand. They sell cheap laptops and mini pc's and they look alright
I never thought you could bottleneck an integrated gpu
Clearly you have not seen AMD when it was bad back then
Would that make it a GPU with an integrated CPU?
Is it a bottleneck if there both pegged at 100% though?
@@chimeron260 that was most of the case, but a few times I saw gpu usage fall while cpu was at 100%
im using a 3200u with vega 3 and somehow my pc doesnt bottleneck
This was a missed opportunity to benchmark Notepad performance.
Haha!! Damn I definitely should have tried that. 😂
Its all fun and laughs until you actually have to open 30MB txt file on your average gaming rig with notepad. Suddenly there is a silence, considerable length of silence that will surprise you :D
It's actually amazing how well that thing plays games, my first PC couldnt play half life 2. I bet it plays GTA 1 and worms 2 just fine, which is crazy from a chipset that looks like it came out of a fire alarm.
I bought one of Chuwi's early laptops, five or six years ago. It had 32 GB of eMMC, and a pretty bad keyboard. But it had the same display panel as the early Surface, and an aluminium chassis, and surprisingly good headphone out.
Like an idiot I gave it to my stepdaughter when she needed a PC. It lasted about 3 months, which is average for her. I still miss that display panel, it was gorgeous.
you could always buy another
@@raven4k998 something called sentimental value exist
@@alhamd1511 yeah thus why to buy another cause if you don't want to kill it kill the new one instead think of it as a sacrificial lamb
@@raven4k998 ok??

I got a Chuwi Larkbox, tiny mini PC, the fan on it goes like 90 all the time, WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I think it's faster than that thing though haha
that's down to you keeping Ewoks hostage in your basement
chuwi is a hero book pro that sounds promising
Fans speaking straight Chinese
The herobook is about 80% the speed of the larkbox pro by synthetic benchmarks(celeron n4020 vs j4125). While the j4125 is 4 cores and has UHD 605(vs 2 cores, 12 EU vs 18 EU iGPU), the scaling is poor.
If you're talking a plain larkbox(j4115), it drops to a UHD 600 and has slightly lower clocks, so would be even closer to the herobook.
My home "server" infrastructure is a Larkbox pro :P
Jesus, those internals look like a low end tablet in a laptop chassis
Imagine a 99 watt hour battery on this laptop.
I think that's exactly what it is.
Which is probably exactly what this is, chuwi also sells tablet pc's with the same internals.
I have one and its fine. Sure it has some bonehaded things like having a carge port that is the exact same size as the 3.5mm jack.
For light tasks running linux it does it's job.
Yeah, the average smart phone is faster. 😅
I'm honestly surprised it runs windows. I thought it was going to be an android laptop with a locked Chinese app store.
If it were $100 I could see picking this up for emails and some thin client uses. 400, there are far better options.
That would actually make for a really useable general use laptop, and the battery life should be rather good. And it should run Linux really well.
That would be actually pretty good for like a small project server
Its better to buy used laptop than this, you'll pay less and at the end have something that's decent and upgradable.
@@clixium yeah
@@clixium Yeah, I did great with a cheap Dell i3 business laptop. I use it for Windows 10. I'm thinking a used Lenovo Thinkpad for Linux.
@@clixium but a used laptop will draw more power. Not good if you need a 24/7 server
6:13 5000 mAh, huh. That's the size of a decently big phone battery. Weird.
No the laptops battery's have a ghogher voltage and the phones voltage is 3.7 volts so the laptop has considerabaly bigger battery tha a 5000 mah phone battery
the main power draw here is the screen. newer phones are powering smaller screens, but they're OLEDs - so that even's things out.
@@vectorpacer2063 This laptop has a 3.8v battery.
dang bro.. wish really makes people wish that the devices they buy are actually what they seem to be.
"wish" means: wish for a real product (elsewhere)
@@anno5936 sick burn!
Hahaha!! I know right. How hard is it to just ship the correct damn thing.
There are legit products, the problem is Wish does little to nothing to weed out all the fake stuff though. This makes Wish perfect for scammers. Wish should really crack down on quality control and punish these sellers, but since they don't get punished it just seems to get worse and worse.

I haven't seen a "Celeron Inside" sticker since 2005. Oof, that's rough.
and here was me thinking my backup laptop ONLY having an I7-9850H was old af
@@bencarley6896 Your CPU is from 2019. It's practically brand new.
I always saw that celeron and atom inside when someone asking me why they're laptop is lagging. Even SSD can't rescue that
@@taktuscat4250 actually no, an ssd saved a Pentium 4 pc I have
@@bencarley6896 I still daily a Lenovo X200 with a Core 2 Duo. Lmao hell of a backup laptop you have there imo
" I was frothing at the trousers " OK I have never heard that one before.
Yeah...I would get that checked out 🤣🤣🤣
"We're gonna make a concerted effort to get inside Chuwi" lmao okay Dawid, you naughty boy.
3:19 User replaceable storage? It already is better than the macbook air
and better cooling
Right
Anything is better than a Macbook at this point
@@TheXlen M1 Macbook:
Yeah, unless it's got a glory hole, I'm not interested.
Nah that ain't no PC.
thats a phone with a big screen in my opinion 😂
And a built in keyboard. I miss having keyboards on my smart phones
Even a phone would perform better tho 🤣
Modern phones beat this.
Mate you should do a SHOWDOWN of aliexpress “gaming” monitors
That's a really good idea.
@Clark Kyle cry harder. There's nothing wrong with AliExpress.
At 400$ steam deck will do circles around this "thing"
I'm pretty sure a $400 Dell laptop would outperform this. An older Thinkpad model would definitely be a better option, and is reasonably upgradeable.
@@nicholaswright6639 True. Refurbished business laptops are usually a much better option in this price range.
@@nicholaswright6639 you can but should you? Unless it’s specifically designed for gaming with beefy heat sinks, high RPM fans and heat dissipation as a concern, it will be far from ideal. But your not getting much of anything but RAM in a thinkpad, if you really know what your doing you can probably get a new cpu or gpu in but any decent discrete Gfx card will require a good amount of power.
6:42 HP also really likes their sneaky screws. Took me quite awhile to figure out how to open one. (At first I doubted that there would be additional screws under the rubber feet because they were so slim.)
I broke mine after found out abt it lol
Should be common knowledge to always check the feet 🙄
"optimistically start GTA5" ?
Dawid, you're either delusional or masochistic... Anyhow, we love you !
I remember Chuwi used to make dual boot laptops, that ran both windows and Android, so whenever the brand pops up randomly I'm always like 'hey I KNOW them!'
Me seeing this laptop with zero ventilation ports: "Do you even ventilate bro?".
You really know when you have a beast of a CPU when it sits at 100% at the desktop lol, every Core 2 Duo is better.
Imagine if they had somehow still added a GTS 450 in there just to fuck with Dawid
Hahaha!! I wouldn't even mind at that point. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff however even the gts 45p will be bottlenecked lol
This actually reminds me of my current laptop, which I don't use for gaming lol, I only do some light productivity with it and web browsing. It's actually got a better processor (not by much, it's an Intel Celeron N4120 so a quad core) and a full aluminum chassis for about $400.
3d printing a new case and recasing this would be kinda cool, you could turn it into a handheld or a tiny desktop
imagine 3d printing a case to allow it to use an desktop cpu cooler🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iam suprised GTA5 even started up and got ingame :)
This makes my $400 Lenovo , with a Ryzen 4500u look like a beast!
Lenovo is similar to a White box gaming computer and I'm pretty sure that a lot of the older people know what a white box gaming rig is and how much of a beast they can be.

Man i love your videos, it’s one after the other everytime i see your vids on my feed
Huawei : We need a new sub brand
Chuwi : YES
Watching your video on my Chuwi Surbook's 2736 x 1824 display - powered by it's N3450 CPU. Good to see they're still using the same packaging box design, guess they've still got a few to shift!
This reminds me allot of these 300€ Atom based Laptops. But they they actually have 1080p ips panels which are very nice and Good quality for the price. Also with 64GB eMMC memory plus the same sata interface and USB C charging.
They are very nice for light workloads with decent battery life and are super thin and light.
Very nice streaming/remote clients.
"Frothing at the trousers" is not something I expected to hear today
I wonder if you had a climbing frame rate because the assets were finally loaded into memory and not being streamed from the SSD. I’m guessing that due to the dual core that sata bus was having an issue getting cpu time.
GN Steve: test first tear down later
Dawid: tips coach.... tips.
Excellent editing. I enjoy your humor as well as you content of course..
I ran it on my Duron 700 and rage 128pro when it came out. got a solid 15fps @ 640x480. My buddy had a p4 and got close to 25. both were considered playable
You had to disable any smoke or fog. in every game. smoke killed everything :) :)
Hey man for some reason seeing you getting scammed is really enjoyable :D keep it going!
@Clark Kyle man ım joking. Don't take it seriously -_-
After my first celeron PC, I swear I can't stand the sight of anything celeron. Hate them, hate them with passion.
Celerons were okay back in the day.
@@cheburekman696 Celeron 300A: Am I a joke to you?
Half the cores/threads/cache/clocks combines for a super slow CPU.
I never heard of a hardware access door on a laptop called a "glory hole" before. LOL
You know it's professional made, when the heatsink was stuck on with duct tape :D
It’s called wish, because you had wish you bought this or bought that!
Actually this celeron should boost up to 2.8GHz but in gaming the clock speed stays at 1.1-1.5GHz probably because of power limit when iGPU being used.
Frothing at the trousers lollllll seriously though my favorite tech CZcamsr by far! Keep up the great content!
For the first time ever, I saw a sponsorship for a service I would actually make use of
I love the fact that no one could've watched the entire video through yet, wild
An N2840 with LPDDR4 is surprising, but honestly, seeing it with an SSD and this much ram is even more surprising. My N2840 Yoga had 2gb of LPDDR3 and 32gb of EMMC storage. This is much better for sure.
Thanks for brightening up my morning! :) (I really needed a good chuckle!)
When you were opening it up from the bottom and having all that trouble I was wondering if it was like a cheap acer laptop I had back in the day that you had to open the screen part first and disconnect the hinge before you could open the bottom.
When is the toilet RGB video? That would be an adventure
Yyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
It's an "Among Us" laptop basically.
your so sussy i know you took my ryzen 7
sus
@quinn napier "my so sussy"
Ok.

I would like to see a follow up video to see what was causing those crashes.
My first thought was random crashes for no reason is usually a defective ram stick. But anyway that system would normally be returned for behavior like that maybe you can help someone that bought it but doesn’t want to go through RMA
I have a Chewy tablet/windows 10 machine and it's been very reliable. They even have decent tech support. These used to be on Amazon.
That's awesome! I really liked the little chewy. :)
It's sad this thing has better IO than a MacBook 🤣
And even more sad that I would definitely buy this instead of any Apple laptop🤣
@El Cactuar thanks
The listing isnt completely wrong, you can play Happy Wheels on it lol.
Dude! That is like every chromebook. I did laptop repair as an after school activity when I was in high school and every thermal solution was that copper heat sinc
Dawid you should do a monitor review series and check out the odyssey monitors. I just got a g9 and am loving it.
Chuwi is sold on Amazon and last I saw has decent reviews. We knew a Celeron wouldn't perform well, but then manufacturer of the computer or laptop won't affect that. I really wish dual core, dual thread CPUs would go the way of the dinosaur, though. Celerons are just everywhere in laptops that cost upwards of $400, ridiculous.
yeah they should die to the quad core I mean 20 years and we still have dual core cpu's
Try doing a extreme overclock on it!!
"this is getting out of hand. CALM DOWN CHUWI" 💀
Loved the video! Just subscribed to your channel. It kinda reminds me of the older MacBook models.
Oh no! He voided the warranty when he opened it up!
I have seen these go for around 150€ new when i was looking for a cheap portable laptop for traveling. It looks like an okay netbook or something like that. I wonder if it could run geforce now or some of the other game streaming services.
yah, for sure it could
I love how this man opens the device then tests it
Maybe you can change the performance in the bios to use all its power and get something more out of it.
It's basically a rite of passage now for a CZcamsr to go onto Wish and get scammed
basically it's a laptop made from an aiob system and a couple of battery's
None of these "I bought crap from Wish" videos are worth watching anymore.
0:21 it’s sad the internet is so messed up he has to blur his feet
hi mate you cant imagine how much i need your help, i watched the video where you put a desktop cpu cooler on laptop , i bought the deep cool gammax gte v2 and antec 500watt 80 + . so bassicaly you connect the cpu fan on mother board but ofc i cant on my laptop , so i need adaptator to put the cpu cooler to molex , but what kind of adaptater i need ??? 4pin pwm TO molex ??? plz tell me
and sorry for my english im from belgium
Now this laptop makes the consoles seem affordable.
chewi's being a sneaky laptop🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was able to get a laptop by just chasing away a camper who brought it with him into my woods
Chuwi is one of those Shenzhen brands you’ll find on Ali Express. As much as Wish is a meme, I’d strongly recommend checking out some of the tablet/phone/laptop options available on Ali. It’s great for everyone outside of the US. You’ll find cheaper prices than anywhere else and avoid the middleman scammers.
"frothing at the trousers" well thats a new one to add to the vocab.
I had a Chewi 2 in 1 laptop/tablet thing i got on Amazon for like 250€. That thing was pretty awesome to use as a student machine. for like taking notes. It even came with a fine drawing pen. I liked it lol. the only things i didnt like was the battery life was like 2 hours and the screen would glitch out when using the pen in only some programs.
I dont think Chewi is that crap compared to other things especially for the prices. but still i would not get it on wish lmao
it’s a real brand wtf
Oh, another one .
Great!!!!
Anybody know what monitoring overlay Dawid uses? Pretty please
I find it funny that HL2 runs about as well on Chuwi as on a PS3. The frame rate drops in a similar fashion when you get to the Canals.
Waiting for this
I owned a laptop when Half Life 2 was released and it's where I played it. Geforce 2 MX chip, 1024x768 resolution. Ran about 30-40 FPS steady. So really Dawid, in the 17 years since that happened clearly there has been some progress, as you paid $400 for this device and I paid $1400 for mine back in 2004. I mean, the value per dollar is on clear display here.
Would be interesting to know what you get if you order a software like Fl Studio, Cubase, Studio One or similar. They cant realisticly ship a look a like program, so is it hacked, stolen, warez, pirated, registred with an own generated key or what?
Rewatching random Dawid vida again. Dudes content is lit
I think Chuwi was given an unfair task, compare it to any $400 laptop from a local store and I'm sure it does fine.
When looking for a gaming device for $400 why pick the laptop, wasn't there any other desktops after your original choice was out of stock ?
yep. I have a $450 laptop and it runs most of these games fine lol, even gta v..
can we see some league of legends on this type of horrible systems pls :(
League can runs on them smoothly since it was design that way
The specs were better than i expected. I was thinking there was gonna be emmc storage and 2gb ddr3, but it was a lot better. The cpu was as expected though.
The camera focus issue was due to rounded off edges that fade away, so it doesn't have a solid focal point that can be detected. On the back, the feet would have done the job just fine.
Calling it "the Chuwi" is like calling it "the Sony" or "the Asus".
Yeah I don’t think anyone cares except you
@@3a.m.284 Speak for yourself.
Hey, I really like my "The Sony" Laptop. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff And I like the Microsoft, it plays games good. :)
But did they give you a refund for $600 or whatever? You spent over $1k on the PC, then got a $400 laptop.
Yeah, I would file a credit card dispute for the whole amount and keep the thing unless the seller or wish pays for return shipping.
I am glad that amd said they are gonna give support of fidelity FX to Rx 570
I kept wondering just how small, and how many little boxes were going to be in that package.
They sell that laptop on their website for $200... You may have been scammed (but I think you were expecting that)
You could get a Core i3 model for $400
That's where I got mine from last year. Works great as a dedicated server manager.

I'm curious how long the battery would last with general use.
Can you do a video comparison of the best thermal paste out there?
Pretty much identical to the internals of most of today's 200-400$ Chromebooks....including the same CPU and SoC RAM. Was a tech for a school-board for 4 years and opened thousands of them, mostly Acer, ASUS and Lenovo. Even the case reminded me of the bottom of an old Samsung 303 Chromebook lol. The external m.2 door is a nice touch though!
Lol, I am just now seeing this. I bought my dad a Chuwi Herobox about a year ago to replace his aging PC. For what he needed, it ticked all of the boxes. He has had no issues after I set everything up for him. He was amazed that something the size of a small paperback book, could outperform his old PC tower(it was originally a Vista system.... soooo)
I had ( yes HAD ) 2 little laptops like this one. Got them in Special at 200$ each for me and my wife. They were branded iSmart ( CanadaComputer home brand ) and they did not last. My wifes keyboard gave up after 2 weeks , got it exchanged and it gave up around a year after. Her screen was starting to flicker randomly also. I gave her mine ( I barely used it , was still new ) and the keyboard gave up after a couple of months. The problem is that when the keyboard dies , there no way to power on the laptop ( the power button dies ). Only a couple of keys died at first but many more died over time until the Power button gave up.
