Welcome friends once again to another featured product review. My name is
Nick and on the today’s video, we have a premium 2-in-1 touchscreen Windows notebook from iProda.
This is the iProda 11.6 inches 360° notebook. This notebook comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and
64GB of SSD storage, Running on an Intel N4100 CPU on Android 10 operating system. This notebook also
comes with an expandable storage compartment which facilitates up to a 512GB M.2 SSD.
So in this video we take a look at its design and connecting peripherals,
we take a look at its Windows 10 operating system to see if it can be updated to Windows 11.
I’ll run some benchmarks to test its performance, and using its expandable storage facility,
I’ll attempt to install alternative operating systems such as Android x86
and FydeOS. And will see just how versatile this notebook really is.
So stay tuned that’s up next.
This notebook runs on an Intel Celeron Gemini Lake N4100 quad core CPU
with a base clock speed of 1.1 GHz and a boost clock speed of 2.4GHz.
It has 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 64 GB of SSD storage.

that allows you apply it as a tablet, or it can be used as the kickstand.
And below the notebook you are four antiskid rubber pads, and
a screw to access the M.2 2242 SSD compartment.
So I’ll start this up and let’s have a look at its Windows operating system.
So of already completed the Windows first startup wizard,
connected to my Wi-Fi network, and log in to my Microsoft account.
And if we take a look at its basic system information, it shows here
that its processor is an Intel Celeron N4100 with the base clock speed of 1.1 GHz.
It has 4GB of RAM, and it’s a 64bit operating system.
Below here indicates that the operating system is activated,
and they provide options for you to change your product keys.
For a bit more in-depth information, here is the AIDA64 extreme application, and I’ve also
connected the notebook to my capture card so you can get a better view of what’s on the screen.
Here it shows the same CPU information and it’s clocked at 2.3GHz which is
supposed to be its boost clock speed. It shows limited RAM information but it’s 4GB,
and it shows that the GPU is the Intel UHD graphics 600.
It has two audio adapters, one from Intel and the other is the Realtek ALC 256.
Under storage it shows the remainder from the 64GB internal SSD.
Under network it shows that you have dual Wi-Fi adapters and this adapter is the Realtek 8821CE.
And below here you have your bios information.
So here I’ve determined with the use of the Windows 11 PC health check tool,
that this notebook Meets the requirement to upgrade to Windows 11.
So I’ll completed the upgrade and continue.
So this notebook has been successfully upgraded,
and it was done using the new Windows 11 process, whereby you have to create
an update flash drive or CD. I did this using a type C hub connected to the notebook.
So now that Windows 11 is installed let’s take a
look at some of the basic things you can do with this notebook.
First and foremost you can apply Microsoft office 365 applications such as
Microsoft Word and Excel without issues. This makes this notebook ideal for college
students, and students under the online learning classroom system.
With the front facing two megapixel camera you can engage in social media meetings
such as zoom, Facebook, what’s up, Skype, YouTube live streaming and so on.
When you flip the keyboard 360° turning it into a Windows tablet,
the keyboard and touchpad deactivates, and there is a virtual keyboard that
appears on the taskbar for entering text along with its touchscreen control.
This notebook also features 360° auto screen orientation.
You can watch YouTube videos in 4K 2160p resolution but you don’t get HDR. The same
applies to extended displays. Also this notebook’s audio adapter does not support Dolby or DTS audio.
You can install your favorite antivirus software protection,
to protect this notebook against viruses and malware.
You can play 4K videos with HDR decoding via the VLC player without issues.
You can connect your gamepad via Bluetooth, and enjoy some light Windows gaming.
Now that you gotten a glimpse at some of the things you can do on this notebook,
let’s now take a look at its benchmarks and where it places on my PC ranking chart.
It’s DDR4 RAM has a copy speed of 8023 MB/s.
Its internal SSD has a read speed of 225 MB/s, and write speed of 165.
In its Wi-Fi speed tests, on my network of 250 Mbps
the 5GHz band achieved 100% of my network speed, and the 2.4 GB band achieved 40%.
In the PC Mark 10 benchmark it scored 1494. This is the score
that I use as reference on my ranking chart and we’ll see where it places in a moment.
In the new Windows version of the Antutu benchmark it scored 131,638.
In the Geekbench 5 CPU benchmark the Intel N4100 CPU, scored 396 single-core, and 1299 multi-core.
In the 3DMark GPU graphics benchmark, it scored 11,634 in the ice storm extreme test,
and 2474 in the cloud gate test.
And that’s the last of the benchmarks.
So I’ve updated the scores on my PC ranking chart,
and the iProda touchscreen notebook is at position 7 in reference to PC Mark 10 benchmark score.
You can view this chart on my blog in full spreadsheet format where you can
compare various benchmark scores. See the link in the description below this video.
So to close off this video, as promised I installed 128GB M.2 SSD into the expandable
storage compartment, and attempted to install alternative operating systems.
The first one being Android x86. To learn how to install Android x86
there is a tutorial in the description below this video.
The installation process went smoothly the bios configuration is easier than most,
and the operating system integrated fully into this notebook’s hardware.
This is the Bliss Rom Android 9 x86, and with this OS you get the full version of the Google play
store not the emulated version. You get 64bit ABIs with a clock speed of 2.4GHz and the OS is rooted.
With this notebook you get touchscreen function on Android X86 which is a much welcomed feature.
You get 1080p resolution on the notebook’s display and on any display connected via its type C port.
You get audio directly on the notebook’s built-in speakers when not connected to HDMI.
When connected via HDMI you don’t get audio. However when connected via HDMI you get audio
via Bluetooth. You can also get Bluetooth audio without it being connected to HDMI.
And you can also play Android games using
touchscreen functions as well as a wired or wireless gamepads.
So compared to mini-PCs Android x86 work much better
when applied to a notebook such as this one with touchscreen functions.
And finally I installed the FydeOS alternative operating system. The the current version is
14.0 and they keep improving on there firmware. However after many attempts I
still can’t get root access on the latest version so I’m still using version 12.
With version 12 you get Chrome OS with Android 9 subsystem.
On the chromium browser you get Netflix in full HD quality.
For display on the notebook you get 1080p resolution,
and on my 4K TV that I’m using as my extended display I’m getting 4K 2160p at 30Hz maximum.
For audio options you have the ability to switch between the notebook and the extended display.
You get YouTube in 4K 2160p resolution.
You can root the Android the subsystem using the tutorial
with the link I placed in the description.
4K videos don’t play very well but HD 1080p videos play just fine.
You can connect your Bluetooth gamepad or your wireless air-mouse And use them to navigate
the box without issues. As well as you can use the notebook’s keyboard and touchpad.
If you would like to learn about FydeOS and how to install it and gain root access,
