47 Comments

1. got my hp 14s with same chip , 256 gb storage and 8 gb ram for 470 bucks

2. Best gaming PC at Walmart

3. I played guitar hero on the 8gb ram version for the same one just more ram and it runs great on that one for the ps2 emulator

4. I love that you test lower end systems like this.

5. they need to stop making this crap, make it upgradeable or GTFO

6. I’m a year late but I think I’m about to scoop this up as my current piece just isn’t up to par anymore

7. My problem with the i3-1115G4 is only Dual-Core but a 4.1Ghz Turbo Boost Speed makes up for it. Also if you want a better performance out of this CPU, get the Acer Aspire 5 with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD (i think its probably m.2)

8. Gateway still exists?? Forgot all about them.

9. The biggest question I have is that does it run the legend of twilight princess on the gameqube good

10. I have tested Nintendo Switch Emulation on the i3 1115g4 . The switch games work perfectly

11. The Asus vivo book for 279 is exacyly like this but with option to upgrade ram to 16gb

12. Does anyone know if it can run midnight club 3?

13. I bought the 8GB version for 200, and it runs ps2 flawlessly at 1080p, and while I haven't tried a ton of PS3 games, it shockingly can emulate All Pro Football 2K8 and College Hoops 2K8 really well. It also seems like it can handle the Wii at 1080 with no major issues too.

    I believe that the 8GB is still 200 at Walmart, and I'd recommend it to anyone that just wants something to emulate PS2 etc. It's really surprising how well this thing performs. It's ridiculous

14. I want this laptop for my dad. He mostly will use it for web browsing, youtube, listening music or podcast. I found it really cheap in a dept store in Mexico.

15. What size m.2 can I add to this to expand the storage? And it says it can only take up to 512 GB SD card which seems silly since I have a terabyte in my switch.

16. Is there some kind App Store to get the emulators from that comes with this laptop?

17. I appreciate the video. I have an i5 1145g7 processor so I think it would be fine. I also have 16gb of memory. I'll have to give it a try.

18. Will it linux mint?

19. Look alike infinix inbook x2

20. You think the 8 gb version ram would handle rpcs3

21. Hi ETA. Is the keyboard backlit?

22. Nice review! Just wanted to let you know I just found a desktop system with 4×2.5Gbe ports and a chunky metal fin case for effective passive cooling that uses this same i3-1115G4 processor for under $200 on Aliexpress today. First I've seen this processor on something nearly so cheap and it might just be the best value out there right now for a light gaming desktop.

23. At 1:09 we can see already is a cheap laptop 😄

24. It's $199 now with 8gb ram

25. Just got the 8gb version for 199

26. Hey dude can you check ryzen 3 5300 emulation performance

27. Nice.
    I have an Acer laptop with the same CPU and integrated graphics but with 8GB of RAM, I bought it to do normal video streaming, work and minor digital art with a graphic tablet but it's good to know I can emulate PS2, NGC and Wii games! Specially since my last laptop, a DELL with a 5th Gen Core i5 coudln't run well Dolhpine or any other emulator for 6th gen consoles.

28. Pcsx2 can we play teeken tag with this laptop.

29. They is very impressive, I did buy that same intel chip set, iwork gt i3 model with 8gb of ram running at 3700mhz

30. Hello greetings, Could you help me install batocera linux on this machine. It's just that I connect my batocera pendrive, but I can't see it at boot time.

31. I just found this laptop at my local Walmart on clearance with 8gb of ram for $184 I’m pretty pleased for the money

32. Recently bought a laptop with similar specs, glad to see it emulate games well lol

33. I recently got the 8GB version of this laptop. Handles emulation excellent. One side note though, if you're looking to put more storage in it make sure you get an m.2 SATA III drive. NVMe's will not work.

34. Can It run regular PC games like Minecraft GTA, Valorant, etc….

35. My 6yr old 250$ laptop cant run anything than indie pixel art games. But we’ve come a long way now.

36. I just got the 8gb ram version for $349

37. Controller at beginning?

38. damn, went to look at it, and wally world now wants 400 for the 8gb version, thats just theft!!

39. There's a i3 1125g4 varient that has 4 cores and 8 threads ..can u please check that one…
    It helps us choose the perfect i3

40. i really like to see cemu on i3-1115g4 8gb ram model

41. I actually got my school laptop with an 1115g4 to run Smash Ultimate in docked mode on Yuzu at 60 fps after the shaders compiled. The only thing is I have 8 gb of ram on that machine.

42. My school laptop fried, so I'm getting a new Lenovo laptop with the same i3. I'm really hyped!

43. Yuzu emulator? 🤔

44. Is there a guide to installing and running these emulators for this specific laptop somewhere?

45. Can you run steam on this device? If not what low end PC or portable would run steam? Thanks in advance

46. So for the price of less than what I paid for the PS2 back in 2002, not only would I essentially get a PS2, I also get a Dreamcast, GameCube, AND Wii! Pretty good deal!

47. I got a good deal on a dell laptop with this chip like weeks after they hit the market last fall (fall 2020). It was pretty amazing performance with dual channel DDR4 3200. These chips natively support ddr4 3200 so make sure the laptop you get is using that, some of the budget models i have seen running tiger lake chips were using older ddr4 2400. Just general gaming performance was better than the overclocked GT 730 GDDR5 I have been using for quit awhile now.
