Entity Book 11.6 Targa 2 in 1 Convertible Laptop Touchscreen Tablet 128GB Black

A touchscreen laptop for a penny less than £160 (I paid) is a real bargain never to be repeated !! Indeed, a week later and it's now a penny less than £220 == which is rather less of a bargain, given the rest of the specs, but you would be hard pressed to find another '2 in1' touchscreen even at that price). Price is the main (actually the only) plus point. Now the less impressive specs. :- 1) It's a dual core 1.1 GHz Celeron. So is never going to win any speed races - hey it's going to struggle to come second from last :-) == but low GHz does mean a decent battery life.. 2) You get 4Gb RAM and 128Gb 'SSD' and that's it (both, I assume, soldered to the motherboard - so no upgrades there). The 128Gb is actually quite good, especially since at this price you would be lucky to get 64Gb with 32Gb being more common 3) Power is via a micro-bullet connector (NOT usb-C) so a second/replacement power block (12v/2A) is not that easy to find. 4) The built in webcam is rather poor quality - certainly on Teams it makes you look like a felon on one of those older security camera 'Caught on CCTV' shows :-) 5) Drawback number 5 and it's the 'biggie'. It's windows 11 Home (not S, thank god) and comes with an almost never-ending collection of CPU hogging and WiFi slugging useless apps and other 'bloatware' (which is hard to get rid of since it's re-installed and re-enabled during MS Updates ...) BUT once you have 'debloated' win 11 (removed Xbox, CoPilot, Cantina, Sync, Diary, Calendar and all the 'in your face' 'suggestions', 'hints and tips' and all the other bandwdith hogging AI generated g*rba*ge advertising (plus the Weather, News and god knows what else), you will have yourself a nice little notebook style laptop that has a touchscreen and can be used in tablet (keyboard folded back) mode... indeed, at 11.6" it's more or less on par with a 10" tablet .. After further debloating (i.e. getting rid of power-on and log-on splashcreen cr*p so it doesn't have to go 'on-line' before letting you sign in) it even starts up reasonably quickly. NB. You might as well dump the MS 'Store' (it's just another 'shop front' for MS games advertising - certainly nothing useful like the Wethersp**n app :-) ) After debloating, I recommend you go into MS Update and disable whatecver yiou can (for sure all 'optional updates') because otherwise when any of the bloatware needs to be updated it will suddenly reappear and be enabled again .. Also avoid any 'driver updates' like the plague they are (I made the mistake of doing an across the board update after first signing in and something trashed the screen driver - only way out was a factory reset - then another Microsoft 'product update' turned off the touch-pad :-) = for those with the non-touchscreen, you will have to plug in a usb mouse to regain control :-) ) In conclusion - no it's NOT going to run games - indeed I suspect that it will struggle with the included 'trial' of Microsoft 365 (which I'm still trying to get rid of - if you need Office type software I suggest something Open Source) ... but after replacing the advertising riddled MS Edge browser with something else (I use Firef*x) you can browse the web with a dozen or more tabs open no problem. In short, the ideal machine to take on holiday .. Now if only MS brought back Android app support I could be sitting outside my favorite pub ordering drinks on an 11.6 inch screen without having to squint at my smart phone ... Otherwise, perfect !

I regret buying it as my kids are complaining its too slow compared to Leveno Yoga they had before. Could someone advice how I can get 2.8 speed from it as its actually 1.1 hmm.

Initial setup had a few problems. Having connected to my WiFi, system setup failed, rebooted and started again. This repeated 3 times before setup was able to continue at which point, even though the SSID was visible, the notebook kept losing WiFi connection and unable to proceed with setup. Eventually, after several reconnect attempts, the WiFi became steady and setup completed in a timely fashion including running all the Microsoft Updates at a good pace. The notebook performs as well as can be expected with only 4GB RAM and was purchased purely to monitor a number of CCTV cameras which it is coping with quite well. The major disappointment is that the angle of viewing for the display needs to be pretty much direct on. Although side-to-side is fine, any slight deviation up/down loses clarity as the contrast fades out. I would have expected a wider viewing angle on a modern device not just side-to-side but also for up and down.

Do not buy, very slow, wouldn't even give it to my 2yr old grandchildren. Save your mo ey
