GEO Computers GeoBook 2E 12.5-inch Laptop for Education - Intel Celeron, 4GB RAM,

Product Information

Specialised for education, GeoBook 2e comes with Windows 10 Pro Education, reliable AC WiFi technology, a 2MP built-in webcam and dual microphones for optimal performance during remote teaching. I am unable to comment about how accurate the colours of the screen are but I can tell you that I wouldn’t trust it if you need it to be perfect but I can tell you something annoying and that is the GeoBook 2E I have has an annoying blue hue on the display. While it isn’t noticeable after a short while most people who posted a review about the GeoBook 2E have commented the same and it isn’t the blue light filter that some people suggest it is. GeoBook 2e is for learning, at any time in any place. A lightweight 12.5-inch design ensures easy portability for users of all ages while an Intel Quad or Dual Core processor, 4GB of RAM memory and 64GB of fast eMMC built-in storage provide the performance.

Taking the GeoBook 2E out of the box you will see that it is very thin and while the design of the laptop looks nice you will find the laptop seems to be cheaply built. There is no real weight to the laptop and the case attracts fingerprints and damages easily. The material of the GeoBook 2E seems to be plastic but with mild heavy usage, I can’t see any physical damage or anything that would impact the usage of the laptop. Display The display on the GeoBook 2E is a mixed bag but comes with a 12.5″ screen. The resolution of the laptop is very low for modern standards and comes at a 1366 x 768. You won’t be watching any videos in 1080p quality. The display itself is quite sharp and does get quite bright but it isn’t something you will be able to use with the sun glaring on the screen. If you’re thinking of buying a cheap laptop, you should know what you can and can’t do with your new machine. Pros of cheap laptopsBattery life: Because these laptops have low-power processors, they often have exceptionally long battery life. Some of the best models we’ve tested easily last more than 10 hours, so you shouldn't get caught out if you’re away from a power source for longer than you expected. The laptop also features built-in Wi-Fi and AC connectivity, so you can easily connect to the internet wherever you are. This makes it a great option for those who are always on the go. Maintaining a stable connection during remote learning is key to getting messages across first-time around, so GeoBook 2e comes with 802.11 AC WiFi technology to keep students and teachers connected when it matters most. of fast eMMC storage is built-in and can be expanded with the addition of a MicroSD card (up to 64GB). GeoBook 2e comes with the latest connectivity options including a USB Type-C port supporting power, data, and displays. 2 high-speed USB 3.0 ports offer the widest compatibility with peripherals available on the market including keyboards, mice and more. Headphones can be connected via USB, 3.5mm Audio or Bluetooth.

Processor: Intel Atom and older Intel Celeron processors (look out for model number starting with N3 and N40, such as N3060 or N4020, as these are old and slow).

The GeoBook 2E’s keyboard isn’t bad. I installed Visual Studio Code and was able to spend a few hours coding without any major issues beyond the keys feeling in the wrong place but that happens with every new keyboard you use. The keys do feel mushy when typing and it is not something I would recommend for gaming (although saying that I wouldn’t recommend the laptop for that anyway but more on that later).
