as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of
buying random crap on the internet i
browse wish.com
semi-regularly where i found that they
started listing gaming prebuilts as an
option which obviously got me frothing
at the trousers with excitement
so i immediately placed an order for one
and started waiting
and waiting and waiting and waiting
until
months down the line i got a message
from wish saying that they'd run out of
stock
now i was infuriated by this message but
wish
gave me a couple of options to try and
defuse the situation either i could just
get a full refund
or i could choose an alternative product
from a predetermined
list so after wading through all the sex
toys and
rgb toilet seat covers i found the
closest thing to a gaming pc
in this list which is this a
laptop from wish that cost
400 dollars yeah now before we get into
that though it's time for a sponsor for
today's video
today's video is sponsored by lenode
which is a fast
powerful and affordable linux based web
hosting platform lenode is a great
choice if you want to host a wordpress
site
games server file sharing server or
maybe even your own vbn
but more than that they also have some
beefy servers that you can use for
computational loads
one of the main things that sets the
node apart other than the fact that they
don't want to become the overarching
ruler of the universe
is the fact that they have some of the
best customer support
with 24 7 open phone lines if this
sounds good to you use the link in my
description below
for a hundred dollar free credit thank
you very much lenode for sponsoring
today's video
now let's open up what is one hundred
percent the same
package as what was shown earlier in the
intro
uh there definitely wasn't a case of
mistaken package identity
oh oh look at that oh it's a nicely
prepared box with uh a bunch of
stickers so you can change the language
of the keyboard
with stickers that's useful especially
for a product that you're shipping
internationally that kind of makes sense
this is actually a laptop i think this
looks like a thing that's gonna be a
real product
uh it's not a gaming pc but i think we
may have a functioning computer here
oh look at that tiny little power brick
it makes me feel really
comfortable with my anatomy for some
reason um it's only 24 watts which means
that this is not
much of a beast of a laptop but we'll
see how it games later on because
you know we did want a gaming pc and
then finally we have the chewy
uh that's a really good brand name i i
would i would call
buy anything i made chewy oh look at
that it's like a little chewy laptop
oh wow the autofocus does not like it at
all
did that help no way that works
well this is quite a neat little laptop
it's got like a metallic
silvery surface it's very plasticky but
it is it is a very affordable laptop so
that it makes sense
on the back there's not a huge amount
going on here we can see that it's
called the hero book pro
but other than that we don't have any
ventilation or anything
which again implies this is a very low
powered notebook
uh we do have a bit of a glory hole over
here which gives us easy access
to m.2 upgrades i really like that
that's a nice feature
as far as i o goes on this side we have
a usb port microphone headphone jack and
a micro sd card slot
and then on the other side we've got
another usb 3 port a charge port and
then like a mini
hdmi port which is which is interesting
i've not seen one of those on a laptop
before
on the inside we as standard get an
english layout here um
those those are not great feeling keys
uh but we've got a nice big track pad
over here
with a celeron inside
gaming on this thing is going to be uh
going to be an interesting exercise
we have a 13-inch display i think this
is with a pretty decent webcam placement
uh but yeah let's open it up and have a
look inside this bad boy
under here we have a 256 gig sata based
uh ssd which is a reasonable amount of
storage for a laptop in this price point
[Music]
oh that's very malleable plastic
oh that does not feel great
oh oh it's just the glory hole cover oh
whoa there is like nothing going on
under here what
that is an amazing laptop undercarriage
it feels like i'm doing irreparable
damage to this laptop opening it up
okay so chewy does not like being opened
um yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna use it first
before i get the back off it feels like
i'm gonna break it and i don't wanna
break it before
before actually testing it
okay so it is now the future um we've
done all the testing and stuff so
i can hopefully not break chewy but
we're gonna make a concerted effort to
get inside chewie
i feel like there's something to do with
the display hinge because it's it's kind
of in that area
that it's just not letting go okay maybe
there's something
under the feet
that's why it won't let go there are two
screws under the
feet that is sneaky chewy
there's chewie's undercarriage uh as you
can see this is what i really wanted to
show you there is not
a whole lot going on under there so this
is a 5 000 milliamp
hour battery uh which isn't super
high but considering the low power
components i think the battery life
should be really good on chewy
oh it's so cute so you've got the main
actual laptop bit of chewy so this is
this is its brain
and then on this side you've just got an
extra pcb
for the i o on this side it seems to be
passive so we don't have any fans here
the only thing cooling that cpu
is this bit of copper
okay there we go
wow that's the smallest thermal solution
i think i've ever
seen on a cpu they just use
like a thin sheet of copper to cool that
cpu that's pretty impressive that
we were only hitting about 70 degrees
celsius with it
here we've got the tiny bit of laptop
brain um
unfortunately the ram is actually
soldered into place so you can't really
upgrade it
but uh yeah it's it's just a tiny little
chip as well
it actually that that celeron looks
suspiciously like a gts 450 die which
kind of just reminded me that this is
actually a wish product that we're
looking at here which is pretty
surprising actually what's pretty cool
about the way that they designed chewie
is that you actually have access to the
only upgradable thing
in it so you know it doesn't really
matter that much that they put so much
effort into keeping you
out of the insides of this laptop
chewy that plastic look at that
the whole laptop flexes when you
now the first thing that's obvious is
considering that this is like the kind
of laptop that they airdrop into
the country that i'm from it's got a
really good display in it
it does have color shift and brightness
shift and stuff off to the side it's
like it's it's definitely a tn panel but
still
it's very good okay so we've got a
celeron
n4020 which is a two core
two thread cpu that
is clocked at 1.1 gigahertz
chewy's not gonna game very well but on
the bright side it has
no vd bloatware on it and it's got a
1080p
display which may actually make the
gaming
even more challenging i have to admit at
this point my excitement for chewie is
slowly fading because it took me over 20
minutes
just to install steam and msi
afterburner
two pieces of software took over 20
minutes to install so
let's very optimistically start with gta
5.
[Music]
well another considerable chunk of my
life has now been erased by this laptop
but we've launched into gta 5 so let's
let's get the graphics setting up oh oh
no
wait once everything's loaded just give
it a minute come on chewie you can do it
maybe you can't okay maybe maybe never
never mind
uh let's see if we can drop the
resolution further 800x600
is is the lowest we can go
i feel like that's running worse
considering that i was looking for a
gaming system when this all started out
i am
highly disappointed by what's happening
here well we've we've just lost
some bridge there so yeah i'd say this
is going well
okay so a very playable gta 5
gaming experience yeah let's let's try
something else
oh there goes the bridge okay well i've
had to kick all the bots
but um i mean it's not it's not great
but it's it's running
way better than gta 5. we've gone over
25 for we've broken
30 frames per second now this is getting
out of hand
calm down chewie it doesn't seem to fare
nearly as well online though
damn i don't think i've ever seen dota
run this badly
oh i actually got the actually got the
last hit there
i'm not sure why is the frame rate
slowly increasing over time that's
it's a bit unusual i mean i guess
dota is i don't want to say playable but
this is definitely the best experience
we've had up until this point
i mean trust dota to be borderline
playable
on a chewy wow it's defaulted to 1280 by
600
let's push it let's push it up to 720p
so that we can maintain
like a proper aspect ratio 80 frames per
second for half-life 2 though
is brutal wow we even have frame drops
in this small environment here
but i mean this is probably a very
similar gaming experience to what you
would have had on
on pcs when half-life 2 was first
launched back in the day
i feel like if you go on 50 frames per
second average for half-life 2 back in
2004 you would have been pretty happy
with that
this is like one of the worst performing
areas in the game
while not amazing it's kind of playable
this
is this is pretty cool although i do
think
uh i do think this is the worst
half-life 2 gaming experience i've had
since starting the youtube channel
at the end of the day we didn't really
get a gaming pc by
most definitions of the word but we got
a functioning little chewy off of
wish.com it may be the kind of device
that gets
airdropped into third world countries
but that's one of the things that i
really like about chewie
it's a device designed to make computing
more accessible to people
and to teach them an important lesson in
patience and besides
if you do live in a little amazonian
village and one of these gets air
dropped in
you can play half-life 2 on it which is
really cool
and that brings me to the end of the
