Apparently Temu Sells Laptops Now...
Summary
TLDRThe video is a laptop review of a low cost $360 Canadian laptop purchased from an online retailer called TEMU. The laptop is tested for gaming performance but struggles to run games smoothly due to its low power Intel Celeron processor. Various games like GTA 5 and Fortnite are tested and only achieve around 10 FPS even on lowest settings. The laptop hardware is examined and revealed to have soldered RAM and an M.2 slot for SSD upgrade. Despite the low cost, the laptop's poor performance makes it a questionable purchase over more capable budget options.

📺 Unboxing and Testing a $300 Laptop from TEMU
The paragraph describes unboxing and testing a $300 laptop purchased from TEMU, a retailer selling various consumer products. The laptop is found to resemble a MacBook Air and have decent build quality. However, its performance is very lacking, only able to run lightweight games at low frame rates due to having a weak Intel Celeron processor.
😕 Attempting to Game on the Underpowered $300 TEMU Laptop
This paragraph details attempts at gaming on the TEMU laptop, including trying games like GTA V and CS:GO. However, with its low-end Celeron processor, gaming performance is extremely poor, generally achieving less than 10 FPS even at minimum settings. Using gaming accessories like the Mac-ax half keyboard provides marginal improvements.
🔧 Opening and Inspecting Internal Hardware of the TEMU Laptop
The final paragraph involves disassembling the TEMU laptop to inspect its internal hardware components like the CPU, SSD, RAM, and cooling. These are found to be low-cost budget parts fitting the laptop's cheap price, explaining its very limited performance capabilities.

Highlights
I bought another stupid thing off TEMU, a $300ish laptop that's probably just plastic crap.
The laptop specs corroborate it's a gaming beast, with an Intel Celeron J4125 and UHD Graphics 600 inside.
The keyboard feels like the chewy laptop from 2 years ago, very much not a MacBook despite appearances.
The display is 1080p but quite soft, with rough viewing angles and measurements showing it's pretty garbage.
Installing software was infuriatingly slow, this laptop can barely run Windows 11.
GTA 5 ran at 9 FPS at 1080p, dropping resolution didn't help much since the GPU was the bottleneck.
CS:GO was under 20 FPS and barely playable, even at 800x600 resolution.
Dota 2 ran the best over 25 FPS, but human eye can't see more than that anyway.
Fortnite took several tries to launch and ran very poorly, around 4 FPS.
The MacAx keyboard attachment did make gaming more ergonomic and portable.
The laptop was easy to take apart with removable bottom plate and SSD glory hole.
Cooling was just a small copper plate with thermal pad instead of paste.
RAM was soldered down like Apple style, no expanding it.
Battery capacity was decent and will last long given low power draw.
For $360 this is not a very capable gaming or general use laptop.
Transcripts
I may have bought another stupid thing off TEMU this time I bought an X book and I'm pretty sure
that a 300ish Canadian dollar laptop off a retailer that primarily specializes in
whatever plastic crap fell off the back of the delivery truck this week is going to
be real special so let's check it out but first today's video is sponsored by Deep
Cool's new digital series of AK coolers it's the same AK coolers we've come to love with
their amazing thermals low noise and very easy installation process but with some
added tasteful digital flare look at that very much not obnoxious digital temperature

using the link in the video description thank you deep cool for sponsoring today's
[Music]
video [Music] amazingly this laptop actually didn't come wrapped in several layers of ocean
plastic which is a nice touch and apparently it's from Germany ooh fancy wait so does that
mean it's made of like BR and there's some of the obligatory package negligence on the
back I was actually worried initially that there wasn't any but it's [Music]
here in this first little box we get a cool power adapter that looks a little bit like
a cell phone charger wow that is a 24 WT power brick so this x book is really not very powerful
but we're obviously still going to try game on it wow the coup X book does look suspiciously
like a rebranded fake MacBook Air which I'm sure means it'll just be a gaming Beast and the specs
do corroborate the gaming Beast Theory with an Intel Celeron J 4125 inside I don't think I've
actually gamed on one of these before I'm curious to see how that's going to go and aside from the
14in 1080p display what's kind of concerning to me is that there are also Linux versions
of this laptop I really hope this is the windows version cuz I don't want a pseudo app get nothing
and then finally this is a middle of the- pack 8 gig variant we get a nice heavy envelope in
the Box I'm assuming with like warranty stuff in it now I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure
that's a picture of a MacBook Air right there other than that it is just a bunch of warranty
crap [Music] nice that I'm not going to lie smells kind of like an Apple product it's
got that artificially injected neutral clean smell to it which is interesting usually you
pay hundreds of dollars for that smell and then we get what looks like a very gamery logo for the
little coup wow there is some Deja Vu looking at this laptop the silver plastic reminds me
quite a bit of that chewy laptop I had a look at like 2 years ago the I/O on the right side
of the laptop aside from the USB and microphone headphone jack has a nice professional touch with
the micro SD card slot ooh and on the left next to the tiny little power jack and USB 3 Port is
the horrendous mini HDMI port I really hate these but it's a thin laptop I they probably wouldn't
have been able to fit a full-sized one here so on the one hand it's a herpes connector on the other
hand at least there's a connector although on the bottom we do have something very exciting I think
this is only the second time I've seen it on a new laptop a glory hole look at that that looks
like an m.2 glory hole that's a bit small for my liking but it's more than enough to accommodate
me other than that there's very little room for ventilation on the back but we do have a seller
on it here so that doesn't really matter to be honest uh let's see if it passes the one hand
open test I like how the little internal cloth bit is hanging out like just BW me
from a sandwich i' I've never seen that before normally they actually have them the correct
size very much
not yeah if you're far enough away and squint hard enough it does really look like a little MacBook
I haven't interacted with the chewy laptop in ages but that is exactly how I remember its
keyboard feeling it has quite a big trackpad with reasonably nice little clickies to it
the front firing speakers are that those aren't actual holes those are just little stickers that
they stock on there that is some real nice attention to detail there I like that a lot
oh yeah good peel around the edge of the display we've got this like fake carbon
fiber effect sticker I'm not going to try and pull it off I don't want to ruin the aesthetic
of our Majestic laptop they managed to fit the little webcam up there that's a good spot for it
I'm sure it's very high quality now because this is a 14-in laptop we don't get a numpad on it so
unfortunately you can't use it for QuickBooks or whatever oh actually so if you like function
key you can do Quickbooks on this little laptop that's a pretty cool implementation and with that
Revelation I guess it's time to fire up the laptop and see if we have to suffer through some pseudo
[Music] today Mega Trends it's been a while since I've seen that okay that is Windows
stuff happening so I'm not going to have to deal with Linux once the laptop struggled through the
setup process the display stood out to me first is this really 1080p it is 1080p it feels quite
soft the viewing angles are also rough you lose a lot of brightness when you're off AIS
in terms of measurements the display is pretty garbage for a Modern Display but in practice
it doesn't look quite as bad as the measurements would suggest at least when you're looking at it
on aess specs wise here's our 5-year-old little on 8 gigs of RAM which says four of four so I'm
assuming those are four solder down little memory modules which we'll find out when we open up the
laptop a bit later storage wise 128 gig SSD and then finally our UHD Graphics 600 which
should make for some real amazing gameplay next installing all the software I needed for gaming
on this laptop like Steam and MSI After Burner was an infuriatingly slow process this laptop
can barely run Windows 11 it feels like using a device that suffered a recent and traumatic head
injury which bodess real well for actually gaming on now of course we're starting with GTA 5 because
it runs terribly in a really funny way and I'm being real Brave here starting at 1080p on a
laptop that can barely run Windows 11 oh never mind this actually isn't going that badly no
I know 9 frames per second not being that bad maybe a bit of a stretch but at least stuff's
rendering you know it is actually running GTA 5 a little bit better than it runs Windows 11
no this is super unplayable like not even almost playable happening here I'm I'm going to have to
drop the resolution a bit that has made a bit of a difference which you can't really take
for granted with these cerons usually the CPU is the bottleneck in terms of frame rate so this is
pretty impressive in a baby figuring out how to not vomit on itself kind of way dropping it to
the lowest resolution the game supports hasn't really given us that much more performance which
is interesting considering that it seems like the GPU is still the main issue here yeah sub
20 frames per second really doesn't count as a playable experience especially at 800x
600 yeah I'd say this is perfectly usable for competitive CS go gameplay look at that smooth
game play we do have a bit of a disadvantage here in that there are Bots running and we are pretty
severely CPU limited so that is going to have a big impact on our performance and besides even
if the frame rate doubles it's still just going to be 10 frames per second let's see can we get
him hey I took a bot down though so shroud can definitely use this for competitive play next
let's try performance Fidelity FX and see what that does for us wo we've jumped all the way
up to S frames per second now oh yeah smooth as silk it's back down to four I guess it depends
qu oh do you know why I think it jumped up to seven because a bunch of the Bots died DOTA
is the best running game so far peing over 25 frames per second and as we all know the human
icon more than that so even if we wanted to we couldn't use anymore the next four games I tried
either straight up refused to launch or just died straight after pretending to launch even fortnite
took several attempts and a driver update to get running it only took five tries but it's finally
launched oh yeah look at ooh those are some good stutters uh according to the game we have some
network connectivity issues as well I mean it does look very deyy oh no I think there's someone in
here this isn't going to go great is it wow that went very well but I think I know what the problem
is now according to the comment section of the entire last temu video This Little
Mac ax half keyboard thing isn't nearly as stupid as I said it is because for
laptop gaming it is very good apparently let's see if adding the Mac ax to our temu
laptop significantly improves our gaming experience oh yeah feeling way more gamery
already and fortnite is unironically running better it's obviously not because of the MC
axe but I think it's because the desyncs gone I I I think it was a server related issue this
feels like I'm playing a game 25 years ago on my grandmother's computer this is crazy like
look at them graphicss oh yeah water a tree oh there we go there you go we got our tree
finally now when it comes to the macx yeah in this context ergonomically it is a lot better
than gaming on the laptop and because it's small it's still portable so yeah for games
like fortnite I do agree with you angry commenters in the previous video it does kind of make sense
although interestingly I did have somebody tell me that this product they actually had to recall
off of Amazon because it's known to install malware on your PC so I am going to have to
scrub this laptop after I'm I'm done with it but potential malware aside let's tear down
the laptop and have a look at its guts uh oh I forgot about the glory hole that needs to open
first and just like that we have access to our SSD which we can now upgrade very
easily through our glory hole this actually looks like it's going to
be a very easy laptop to take apart cuz we've got a clear separation between the
bottom plate and the side one some screws and then hopefully the back's just going to pop
out wow that's a strong clip oh there we go so this bit of thin copper is all they need
to cool that little Celeron uh next to that we've got our 120 gig SSD which we can access
without taking the whole bottom plate off uh other than that here is our battery it's not a
super high capacity but this is a very low power draw device so it's the batter is going to last
for ages and the right IO is connected to the main motherboard with this little daughterboard
thingy and a ribbon cable but with that I do actually want to take this little copper piece
off and have a look under there but before we do that we have to unplug the battery before
the internet shouts at me [Music] whoa that is some sickly looking copper on the bottom but
putting that aside they used the thermal pad instead of thermal paste to interface between
this little bit of copper and the Celeron down there which is very interesting and then finally
on the PCB we've got the very cute little Celeron and then in typical Apple fashion we've got some
solder down RAM on the side so at the end of the day we did get a functional laptop off temu but
for $360 Canadian dollars we've seen devices on this channel that don't feel like doing
your Computing on something that's recently been heavily lead poisoned which brings me to
the end of another video subscribe if you liked it don't if you don't and until the next video
[Music] bye-bye
