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

Product Information

For the price, as mentioned, the specifications seem really impressive. At the end of the day, the heart is a dual-core Apollo Lake processor, specifically the N3350, which isn't breaking any performance records any time soon with its 1.1 GHz base frequency and 2.4 GHz turbo. This is paired with 4 GB of LPDDR4-1866 C15, which again isn't bad considering at this price people usually get 2 GB, which to be honest is not enough for Windows 10. Storage is perhaps a weak point, with only 32 GB of eMMC, which means after a full install of Windows 10Home there is only 18 GB left. But this is one of the party pieces of this design: expandable storage. The system is also reasonably light for the price. Standard cheap plastic materials here, however they had been finished with an element of finesse on the lid and the keyboard area. The keys have plenty of travel, rather than the chiclet types of keys that I have come to detest as a writer on long trips. The mouse pad has very good detection, and is suitably large for this sort of system, compared to some of the micro-pads used on 15-inch devices. 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 Here’s the main area of the laptop, with everything in a small PCB. The single metal heatsink is for practically every chip in the system, with zero fan for this design. Itincludes 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 On the cheaper devices, the display is usually one of the first things to go. To that end, I’ve seen 15-inch Ice Lake systems with 1366x768 displays! However one of the best upgrades for this Coda Spirit system is the 1920x1080 IPS display. Viewing angles and crispness is great. One of the areas I was concerned about though was brightness and color accuracy. 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.

Condition

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
