The GeoBook 2E 12.5-inch Laptop is a great choice for anyone in need of a reliable and efficient device. With an 12.5-inch HD screen and a slim lightweight casing, GeoBook 2e is designed to move. Whether it is from home to school or room to room the 2e is ready to go. A compact footprint, precision touchpad and edge-to-edge keyboard make light work of small workspaces, allowing users to work easily and in comfort at all times. 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. 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.

A 3.5mm port is included for connecting headphones and headsets, which can also be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth. 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. We'd recommend a smaller, 11-inch screen (to make the laptop easy and safe to carry around). Avoid big, heavy laptops that a child will struggle to carry. Low storage: Small and cheap laptops, especially Chromebooks, have little storage. These laptops are best for working on documents stored in cloud services such as Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If you have a large collection of photos and videos, you might need to keep them on an external USB hard drive. Don't buy a Chromebook with less than 32GB, and avoid Windows laptops with less than 64GB.

A Mini-HDMI port is included for connecting an external screen to improve your multitasking capability. Cheerful designs: Some budget laptops have more colourful, slightly rugged designs. While this won’t ever make or break a laptop buying decision, it can be a nice bonus. While it is nice having a style-ish laptop, a meh keyboard and an alright mouse it is time to discuss just how powerful the laptop is. To start with let us look at the specs that matter. As you can tell from the processor it is not that powerful and you will not be watching games on it. You will be able to browse the Internet, do office-related stuff on it and do very light gaming such as emulation but beyond that, you will not get much out of it. The graphics aren’t that great either but it is on-board graphics, what do you expect? 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

This is supported by two USB 3.0 ports, offering fast data transfer.

GeoBook 2e is equipped with a 2MP webcam, dual microphones, and dual speakers to help keep communication as clear and simple as possible. of fast eMMC storage is built-in and can be expanded with the addition of a MicroSD card (up to 64GB). 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). 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).

How about these alternatives?

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 laptops One of the most notable features of this laptop is its 12.5-inch display, which provides ample screen real estate for both work and entertainment. The display is also touch-sensitive, making it easy to navigate through Windows 10. At this price, it is also useful to have as a spare device for friends and family when they pop around. Seriously at this price, it is worth what you get and more so when you think would spend around the same to get an alright tablet.

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. The only thing that comes preinstalled is Windows 10 and I had a mess around with it and it worked well enough although I installed ZorinOS. There is not much to say about Windows as everyone has likely used it by now and knows what you get.
