Coda 1.2 Intel Celeron N4020 4GB 64GB eMMC 12.5 Inch Windows 10 Laptop Includes Office 365

Product Information

Most of these systems are built down to a price for sure. And truth be told, the Coda Spirit I'm testing today wasn't the absolute cheapest device offered. There was a staggered offering with all the systems offering the same design, same ports, same expandability, except for stuff that can't be changed: Stream 11 vs Coda Lineup

The power button in the top right corner is actually in the best place for a laptop – I’m forever accidentally putting any laptop with a power button on the side to sleep when I move it (I’m looking at you HP). Unfortunately it doesn’t double as a fingerprint sensor, which would have been gravy, presumably because a fingerprint sensor isn’t suitable at this price point. So one thing we can test here is the storage, especially given that we have official numbers on the Foresee eMMC onboard, as well as numbers from Coda on the M.2 SATA port. There are four different storage elements to this system: A few things have changed since Brett's review. Higher-resolution panels are much cheaper, the whole design concept of clamshell devices has evolved, and the companies in the laptop ecosystem that provide components are now able to offer 4th and 5th generation versions of their controllers for peanuts, while the latest devices play a few generations on. As a result, we have a large number of '3rd tier' companies pushing out cheap systems. Taking the heatsink off, we have a thin copper sheet with a pad for the CPU, and a small raised area for a larger old control chip.Love or hate them, video calls are a thing, and this laptop is well prepared – A built-in 2.0MP front-facing camera, along with integrated dual mics and speakers, means you’ve got everything you need to face them head-on. Making this the perfect companion for Teams and Zoom Calls. Here is the LPDDR4 chip, showing the Spectek logo and the Micron logo. The datasheet for PS019-075BT gives the information. This is the Foresee eMMC chip, which Coda told us is eMMC 5.0, however we seem to have an eMMC 5.1 chip. Designed to change your expectations. Windows 10 leads the way in innovation, productivity, and performance. With a familiar feel and an experience that’s now even safer and more secure.

CODA 1.2 is equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi, offering a more reliable wireless connection, with less chance of interference from other devices, so you stay connected when it counts. The E6500 we tested before used GMA4500 graphics, which are super old. This Celeron N3550 has HD 500 graphics, and is part of Intel’s Gen 9.5 family, so what we see here is a swing from a CPU limited test to a GPU limited test. Sort of. The N3350 is running in single-channel mode, which will hurt the performance quite a bit. Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit in S Mode, Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit in S Mode (with Free Switch to Windows 10 Home) CODA 1.2 includes 64GB of fast eMMC storage and has a MicroSD card slot so you can add and swap extra storage as required (supports cards up to 64GB). This review has been updated relating to its audio since it was first published due to an error. The Coda Spirit: A Cheap Chinese Atom

CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0 x64 offers two types of benchmarks, one for ‘peak’ that gives an idealized scenario, and one for ‘real’ world scenarios. Here is the data for pure sequential transfers; other data is in the images below. Coda Spirit Storage Sequential Performance In single-threaded workloads, our 2016 chip is easily trounced by a 2009 Core CPU. Note however that the E6500 is a 65 W part and the N3350 is a 6 W CPU, so technically performance per Watt is on the side of the N3350. In our previous cheap system analysis, we used Counter Strike: Source with a timedemo benchmark. With such low-end graphics, even now with the 6W CPU that technically supports DirectX 12.1, gaming is going to be limited. Popular titles like Counter Strike, despite the longer loading times, are the sort of titles that are going to be the focus on gaming. Underneath we have the CPU front and center, with everything onboard. To the left is the Spectek LPDDR4 DRAM, which is rebadged Micron memory, and on the far left is an EtronTech EJ889 which is a USB 3.0 controller. Between the Spectek and the EtronTek is a Realtek ALC269 audio codec. On the right is some Foresee eMMC, with the WiFi chip underneath.
