it's a low power dual core

😂

It can maybe run games that are ported from switch but with slower GPU and about the same CPU horsepower it'd be a stretch

the Y series are great daily chips, I do nearly everything on mine (from ff/chrome to Photoshop to Premiere with low bitrate video) but they're not powerhouses by any means, lying chinks

tbh idk, I had a Surface 4 Pro m3 and damn was it slow

Even for browsing with Vivaldi (because Chrome kept dying due to the 4GB of ram) it was a major hassle as soon as I opened more than 5 tabs

vivaldi is effectively chrome tho

so you just changed bad to bad <:alithink:327930371796893698>

I wanted Chrome but Chrome vanilla wouldn't run

Vivaldi is actually *small footprint* Chromium

It tries to do a decent job at it, and by default for most people I guess it's good enough

It does neat things like putting tabs to sleep when you are almost hitting the RAM limit

(without using any extension)

And overall got a lower CPU footprint

But it's usually at the cost of speed

+ fully compatible with Chrome extensions as a result

as i said effectively chrome

It's still better than Chrome vanilla while retaining some features from it is what I wanted to say

But even with that it was bad

sadly most of that can be blamed on web pages itself

not the browsers

Yeah but the other tasks weren't faring that much better

Except for some very low spec games, 'gaming' was a hassle

Games like Curious expedition or Heat Signature were fine for example, Rimworld wasn't

yeah in no form any netbook/ultrabook can be considered heavy-work/gaming machine

And 3D games were a joke, even low tier ones

hell even large bulky laptos still suck at them due thermal issues

It actrually depends on how much money you put in them

I now own an X270 with an i5 and it's very decent

i still would not touch ansys with it :D

Much more than m3 joke

The only real advantage of those m3 are their consumption which is on par with a potato

Even on heavy load (which is pretty much 50+% of the time considering its performance)

no winners over nc10 yet ;_;

i just want proper small netbooks with fuckhuge battery

so i can happily run typora and 2 tabs for whole day if i so want to

(and have enough space to install *shrug* latex library to it

not that i have any idea to buy one as i have functioning laptop what is just dependant on 1 hour timelimit and outlet hunting

I will tell you as the owner of a Surface Pro 4 i5/4GB it's the problem of crappy Vivaldi ram management and the lack of ram in the first place

Chrome is just as bad, Windows with low ram is painful

Yeah well I wouldn't resort to Vivaldi if I had like 8 GB of RAM
