  • - Hello and welcome my friends

  • to Austin's stupid corner of stupid things.

  • So, recently we took a look at a very, very dumb item

  • at our local electronics store,

  • where the employees helpfully pointed out

  • the worst computer that they currently sell.

  • The HP Fisher-Price special.

  • Now it's not actually a officially a Fisher-Price.

  • Wait until you see what's inside this.

  • It is, it bad.

  • It's real bad.

  • So, what'd you get with a 400 dollar HP All-in-One?

  • Well, not,

  • not much.

  • Wait actually, it has an external power supply?

  • This thing is basically the same power of like

  • a netbook, and yet it has an external supply?

  • But it has an internal DVD drive?

  • I am offended right now.

  • We haven't even opened this thing up and I'm offended.

  • Hope you guys are ready for Austin "Salty" Evans.

  • Okay actually, I will say I'm kinda digging

  • the white keyboard.

  • Obviously, it's a very cheap membrane keyboard.

  • That's actually not bad and it looks kinda nice.

  • I'll give them some props,

  • it does come with a 12 dollar keyboard in a box.

  • Seems so small I can just pick it up with one hand.

  • (laughing)

  • - [Ken] I don't like that.

  • Redesigned, reliable, and ready for you.

  • So which one of these do you think it'll actually..

  • - None of the above, none of the above.

  • Do you see how thick this thing is?

  • Do you see how big it is?

  • They couldn't have fit this just like here?

  • - [Ken] I love how it has a Kensington lock

  • in case you were worried about anyone stealing

  • your box.

  • - I will say, I'm actually a little bit of a sucker

  • for this white.

  • I mean, it doesn't actually look terrible

  • as far as the color goes, it just looks like

  • a toy, like, the bezels are massive.

  • So around back we have that fancy ripple pattern,

  • we have a Kensington lock, headphone jack, HDMI,

  • that's impressive, two USB 3.0, the power adapter,

  • ethernet as well as two USB 2.0.

  • And over on this side, we've got an optical disk drive,

  • a DVD writer, no less, in case you wanna--

  • You can't do blu-rays though,

  • so-- - [Ken] Well, I mean,

  • even if it could, I don't think it would play them.

  • - All right, let's plug this thing in.

  • I really wanna see how this is.

  • So just trying to get it to open up the Windows

  • set up screen is taking a very, very long time.

  • - [Ken] We've been here for like three to five minutes?

  • - It's not moved from this screen, it turned on,

  • I got the boot logo, it's "just a moment".

  • I will say, however, actually did miss one thing,

  • if you look on the bottom, we do have an SD card,

  • which is very exciting.

  • Also, take a look at the stand.

  • It has a lot of adjustability.

  • I can go from here to here.

  • Wait, that's black?

  • Look at this, can you, sorry, can you see this?

  • That's black, that's supposed to be black right now.

  • (computer vocalizing) Do you see?

  • It's just gray.

  • - [Ken] I will say, the most impressive thing

  • about this right now,

  • that speaker actually sounds pretty good.

  • - The speaker actually doesn't sound bad.

  • Hang on, let me just show you something.

  • So just in case you can't see clearly on the computer,

  • this is what black should look like.

  • And this is the black of the actual system.

  • Can you see how bad that is?

  • This might be one of the worst looking displays ever.

  • Oh, important set-up time.

  • I've got at least five more laps

  • on the scooter for this one.

  • You know, it's very strange because

  • there are actually a fair few all-in-ones available.

  • I would argue that at most stores people are buying

  • all-in-ones more often than they're buying

  • full sized desktops.

  • But this is one of the only all-in-ones

  • that does not have a touch screen.

  • - [Ken] Oh, don't do that.

  • - Do you see how much the whole screen flickers?

  • Wee!

  • Oop, oop, oop, almost broke the set.

  • Wee!

  • Okay, so we finally are up and running inside Windows.

  • So first of all, let me actually take a closer look

  • at the spec on this guy.

  • So we have a dual core AMD A-4 9125,

  • we have four gigabytes of RAM, a one terabyte of hard drive,

  • we do have AC WiFi, although I am plugged in via ethernet

  • and Radeon R3 graphics.

  • This,

  • this is rough, man.

  • All right, I'm gonna uninstall everything I can.

  • We're gonna try to get this thing as speedy as possible.

  • I've got a lot of things to uninstall, though.

  • So, after letting this sit overnight

  • and get all of it's updates handled,

  • there are a couple of things that really jump out to me,

  • in fact you can see it right now.

  • Very, very frequently it just sits at incredibly

  • high CPU, it's like 71% just doing nothing, right?

  • So, one of the things about the system

  • is that with such a slow dual-core processor,

  • something as simple as the host process

  • for setting synchronization can peg the CPU

  • almost entirely.

  • I get it, cheap computer but the problem here is that

  • it is not that cheap.

  • 400 dollars is still 200 dollars more

  • than I think this thing is probably worth.

  • But, I did tweet out, I did ask if anyone had any questions

  • about our wonderful HP All-In-One.

  • All right, so let's see how long Twitter

  • actually takes to load.

  • Mind you, I'm on ethernet right now.

  • So,

  • mkay.

  • It's coming, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

  • Dry hump it.

  • No, Kyle.

  • Hackintosh.

  • Look, I am not gonna hackintosh this thing.

  • I don't wanna make the world (bleep) iMac, here.

  • Technically it might be possible,

  • no actually, I don't even know, it's got four gigs of RAM,

  • I don't even know if it would, don't you need eight gigs

  • for the most recent version of Catalina?

  • - [Ken] What if you do the older versions?

  • - That sounds terrible, I don't wanna do that.

  • (laughing) Run Crysis.

  • Oh my God, you know what?

  • I don't even think I can watch a video

  • of Crysis on this thing, right?

  • No, no, it's not--

  • I have four gigs of single channel memory with like,

  • no.

  • - [Ken] Well, that's easier than installing it.

  • - It won't even install, I bet.

  • We have Pentium four, one gig of RAM

  • GeForce 6800 GT.

  • (exhales) This actually might work.

  • Look,

  • I'm gonna do this for the PC Master Race,

  • but I'm not happy about it.

  • All right, here we go. Crysis Warhead, let's do it.

  • So, it's only six gigs. Oh man, that's actually kinda nice.

  • Look at that, it's allocating disk space

  • in an incredibly rapid (chuckles).

  • I can't say anything nice about this thing.

  • Okay, let's see how long it's actually gonna take.

  • 'Cause theoretically, we're on ethernet,

  • oh look at that, five minutes.

  • Wait a minute, that's actually pretty good.

  • Wait, are we really gonna install this

  • in less than three minutes?

  • It's (chuckles) bottlenecking hard,

  • but you know what, who cares?

  • If I can get like three frames per second in Crysis,

  • I will consider this to be a success.

  • (laughing)

  • Yo, I saw 710 down.

  • To be fair, that really has very little

  • to do with the computer in entirely the fact

  • that we have a gig connection here, but still.

  • Look, PC Master Race right? I gotta rep my true colors.

  • - [Ken] White?

  • - Ken!

  • Unacceptable, man. - [Ken] (laughs)

  • - I am offended.

  • Oh c'mon, any computer could get

  • through to the loading screen, right?

  • - [Ken] Yeah, a 3D generated video?

  • - Yeah, (chuckles) runs great on Core 2 Duo.

  • You know what, I don't even think

  • this is as powerful as a Core 2 Duo. Realistically?

  • It might be close.

  • (computer plays music) - [Ken] That is very loud.

  • - I'll turn it down a little bit.

  • Gonna work.

  • Gonna work.

  • C'mon 99 percent.

  • (computer vocalizes) It works!

  • I mean this is 16 frames per second, but this works.

  • Oh okay that was a stutter.

  • All right, hold on, hold on.

  • Let me turn some settings down.

  • Let me crank it all the way down.

  • This actually works, though.

  • So, we're minimum at 800 by 600.

  • So,

  • don't do that.

  • Don't do that.

  • Oh look. I'm up to 22 frames per second now.

  • This is the jitteriest frame rate I've ever felt.

  • It like bounces between 30 and two, it feels like.

  • But this is Crysis.

  • You know what's something I've really noticed here,

  • the screen is terrible, like the black point

  • I've never seen the black part of the screen

  • be the same as the gray part of the screen.

  • Like there's no difference whatsoever,

  • like it's so, like the lack of contrast is crazy.

  • Look, I think this is really straightforward.

  • Is it a great version of Crysis? No.

  • But does it actually, technically work? Yes.

  • I actually am, not gonna say impressed,

  • but surprised is definitely the way I would put it.

  • Wait, you can't ask questions on Twitter.

  • Can it fold?

  • No.

  • Why are asking Twitter?

  • You're like right here,

  • you don't have to ask questions on Twitter.

  • Oh hell no. Someone wants to play to the Witcher 3.

  • - [Ken] Nope.

  • - Please don't play Fortnite on it.

  • No problem. Fortnite definitely won't work.

  • Edit a video with it.

  • So, you may have caught a video I did last year

  • where I bought my very first laptop

  • and tried to edit a video on it.

  • It was a complete and total disaster.

  • So no, I'm not doing any more edit challenges.

  • I value my sanity more than 35 seconds of your entertainment

  • I apologize.

  • That may have been rude to be...

  • - [Ken] But you played Crysis.

  • - Crysis is fine. Oh wait, here's a better,

  • someone asked, "open ten tabs in Chrome."

  • You think we can do ten tabs?

  • I should probably install Chrome first.

  • K, so I have installed Chrome.

  • And right now, we're sitting at 2.5 of our 3.9 gigs

  • of memory used, so let's just start opening tabs.

  • So, I have a YouTube page up with a video which is paused.

  • We're at 2.8 gigs of RAM, so we have, we're okay.

  • This is just tab number three.

  • Oh, 3.1 uh. And we're pegged CPU, okay.

  • Next, let's go Apple.com.

  • That's a, that should be an easy enough website to load.

  • - [Ken] Easy? - Yeah.

  • - [Ken] Is it easy?

  • - Apple sites actually are pretty well optimized.

  • Okay, so we're at 3.4 gigs of RAM.

  • This is not good. We're four tabs in. We're almost maxed.

  • - [Ken] I love how we're at the point of this video

  • where the Verge is the benchmark.

  • - Hey man, they (bleep).

  • - [Ken] Oh, we gotta censor that one. (laughs)

  • - Sweet shout out to Mister Ken Bolido on Instagram,

  • we're up to 3.3 gigs.

  • Isn't this an insightful, wonderful video

  • full of information you wish you knew five minutes ago?

  • No? Me neither.

  • See if Reddit wants to load. It's actually not that bad.

  • Let's go to Google. That'll be an easy one.

  • Okay, so now grandma has her MSN, what's our final tab?

  • - [Ken] Um, Fox News.

  • - No, stop. It's not the grandma special.

  • Let's go to uh -- - [Ken] CNN.

  • - No, no, we're still loading MSN actually.

  • We're not done with MSN yet. It's still 100 percent CPU.

  • Okay we're loaded, all right. CNN.com for our tenth tab.

  • System is very slow at this point.

  • We're almost full of memory.

  • - [Ken] Wait, you decided to do CNN anyway.

  • - Yeah, what did you want me to do?

  • - [Ken] The Weather Channel. - Oh.

  • - [Ken] We didn't wanna talk about the virus, Austin.

  • We wanted to keep positivity up on the channel, Austin.

  • - Look, we're all positive right now.

  • We have a dumb PC that we're doing dumb things

  • like trying to open ten tabs on.

  • Weather Channel is loading. This news is (exhales).

  • - [Ken] (laughs) So much for positivity.

  • - Why is that the first thing I see on?

  • - [Ken] Wow, the weather's looking great.

  • 384 people died. (laughter)

  • - That's (bleep) up man. That's (bleep) up.

  • - [Ken] Sunny with a chance of death.

  • - We have ten tabs loaded.

  • So, our CPU is permanently pegged at 100 percent right now.

  • We have 3.6 gigs of RAM used.

  • Can I actually open up all of these tabs now?

  • Okay, that one's here. That one's here.

  • That one's here. Actually I think it worked.

  • I mean, it's probably caching these,

  • but every single tab seems to be doing it.

  • Oh, it had to reload that one.

  • Oh, no it can't keep them all in.

  • Look how long it is when I switch between them.

  • Eh it's not terrible.

  • I'll give that a pass.

  • - [Ken] This is more multitasking

  • than my mom will do in like a week.

  • - Well, no matter what we do, the CPU

  • is permanently pegged at 100 percent just having

  • all of these tabs just running in the background.

  • So, yes, technically it can run ten Chrome tabs.

  • But barely. And our RAM is (chuckles) not happy with us.

  • And of course Josh in here with

  • "do the speakers bump, though?"

  • - [Computer] I'm Austin, I'm Myke. We are the Test Drivers.

  • (computer vocalizes)

  • - What great speakers. Incredible.

  • - [Computer] we have a Test Drivers bonus exclusive.

  • On the Xbox Series X. - What?

  • It's almost like there's a link to that

  • in the description of this video.

  • Incredible. Some galaxy brain (bleep) right there.

  • - [Ken] I didn't think you said enough about the speaker,

  • but I appreciate the ad spot.

  • - (laughs)

  • This video is brought to you by my brand new podcast.

  • Please download it. Thanks.

  • I want to see you return it. (laughs)

  • Me too. I would love to see that as well.

  • Overclock? There's no way this thing would let me overclock.

  • And if it could, - [Ken] It'll catch on fire.

  • - Edit RED footage?

  • - [Ken] No. Hard no.

  • - Watch YouTube at 8K.

  • - [Ken] Oh, I'm down with that.

  • - Okay, let's find an 8K video and let's work our way up.

  • I'm watching your ads Marques, I hope you're grateful.

  • So, we're watching an 8K MKBHD video.

  • We're gonna start out 480p and see if it works.

  • (computer plays video)

  • yeah.

  • That's fine.

  • Okay. Next, let's go to 720p.

  • Where do you think it's gonna choke?

  • I think it's gonna hit 1080 and stop.

  • - [Ken] I think 1080 is probably our cap.

  • - Yeah, okay. So, 720.

  • All right.

  • Well, it's a little jittery.

  • Okay. Next, let's go 1080p.

  • Can it do 1080p? Uh oh.

  • Oh yeah. - [Ken] Oh there we go.

  • - Oh no. It's stuttering, look. It's jittery.

  • I would give it a minor pass at 1080.

  • What would happen if we go 1440?

  • It's definitely gonna choke here right?

  • 1440's kinda hard to play.

  • - [Ken] Not liking that.

  • - Not so, eh it's buffering...

  • Oh no, no.

  • Not happening.

  • Look, it's kinda playing.

  • - [Ken] Wait, no no no. Let's just,

  • let's try to answer the question as soon as possible.

  • - [Austin] Are you just gonna go straight into 8K?

  • - [Ken] Of course I am.

  • - [Austin] Dude, it's not even gonna load.

  • - [Ken] There we go, there we go.

  • - It's not gonna work.

  • It's not gonna work. There's no way it's gonna work.

  • Hold on, hold on.

  • Wait, calm down. Calm down.

  • Dude, it's not gonna load.

  • 8K is a hard no on this one. 1440p is a hard no on this one.

  • Check Amazon for upgrades.

  • Can I

  • open

  • this

  • PC?

  • It's not meant to be taken apart, that's for sure.

  • The thing is though is that I don't think

  • there's really anything to really upgrade

  • besides maybe I could swap out the hard drive for an SSD.

  • 'Cause it's got a single channel of memory, right?

  • And honestly there's not really much that's worth upgrading.

  • I guess an SSD wouldn't be terrible if you want

  • to just crack it open and pull the hard drive out.

  • But I feel like,

  • look, I'm lazy. I don't have to tear this thing apart.

  • I know what's inside. It's not gonna be exciting.

  • You could theoretically open it.

  • Are you just tryna like pry it apart right now?

  • I don't think it's that poorly built.

  • A lot of people asking for Linux.

  • Linux should work.

  • - [Ken] Linux might actually run better than Windows.

  • - Yeah, Windows 10 is fine. The thing is though

  • is that this PC is meant for your grandma.

  • Your grandma doesn't need Linux.

  • Your grandma doesn't need Windows.

  • Your grandma needs an iPad. (laughs)

  • - [Ken] That's actually not a bad point actually.

  • - Look, I don't trust grandma with this. I'm just saying.

  • - [Ken] Wait. Well, if I'm real,

  • this thing right here is probably what you need for grandma.

  • It is cheaper than this thing.

  • - A base iPad will run you about 300 bucks.

  • Whereas this is 400 dollars.

  • I would definitely agree.

  • The only thing is though if you want a bigger screen.

  • One of the advantages here over something like a laptop

  • is the fact that it's got like a 19 inch screen or something

  • - [Ken] Give grandma better glasses, I don't know.

  • (chuckles)

  • - I mean I guess. (chuckles)

  • Give grandma better glasses. Ken Bolido's official opinion.

  • How about the webcam?

  • Should we try the webcam?

  • Oh look, I look like I'm potato man.

  • Okay, wait. Can I turn the HDR?

  • HDR auto. There we go, that's the move.

  • Can I change settings here?

  • - [Both] Pro mode. Pro mode. Pro mode.

  • - Video quality 480p or do we want 360p?

  • - [Ken] 360p.

  • - I want 480p. I want my extra pixels.

  • Oh we can change the brightness.

  • Oh, that's it?

  • Those are your settings? That's your pro mode right here?

  • We are recording.

  • Hello my friends and welcome to the webcam

  • on my HP All-in-One laptop.

  • As you can see it's in beautiful 480p standard definition

  • which we really all know is the resolution of the future.

  • Can I stop making this video yet?

  • - [Ken] All I'm saying is that if you get that iPad,

  • it's cheaper and you can FaceTime grandma

  • and not this poor (bleep).

  • - Thank you very much for watching this episode

  • of the Austin Evans YouTube channel.

  • Make to subscribe over here, over here.

  • Or you can check out some other videos over here.

  • Until next time, I'm going to go

  • not use this computer every again.

  • Not good. It's not good.

- Hello and welcome my friends
