UHD Graphics 15.6" YEPBOOK-4 Review
This so-called gaming laptop with an Intel N150 processor is one of the most misleading products we've seen. It can't handle games and struggles with basic tasks.
Overview
Let's be real from the start: this is not a gaming laptop. The marketing says it is, but that Intel N150 processor is a tiny 2-core chip designed for basic web browsing and office work, not gaming. It lands in the 9th percentile for CPU power, which is basically the bottom of the barrel. The 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD are nice, but they're strapped to an engine that can't get out of its own way. If you're buying this for anything more demanding than checking email, you're going to be disappointed.
Performance
The biggest surprise is how poorly it performs for its claimed purpose. That '16GB VRAM' spec is misleading nonsense—it's likely shared system memory, not a dedicated graphics card. In real terms, its GPU performance is in the 76th percentile, but that's against all laptops, including ultra-thin business machines. Against actual gaming rigs? It's a non-starter. You'll be playing older games on low settings at best, and modern titles will be a slideshow. The screen is also in the 16th percentile, so don't expect those 'vibrant visuals' they promise.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- You get a ton of storage with that 1TB SSD. 88th
- 16GB of RAM is plenty for basic multitasking. 79th
- It's relatively light at 1.54kg, so it's portable. 77th
- Comes with Windows 11 Pro, which is a minor bonus.
Cons
- The Intel N150 CPU is painfully slow for any real task. 4th
- The 'gaming' claims are completely false advertising. 7th
- Build quality and reliability are in the 3rd percentile, which is a huge red flag. 21th
- The screen and port selection are both well below average. 27th

Value & Pricing
At $360, it's a terrible value. You're paying for specs on paper that don't translate to real-world performance. For the same money, you could find a used business laptop from a few years ago with a proper quad-core processor that would run circles around this thing. Don't do it.
vs Competition
Forget comparing it to the listed 'competitors' like a MacBook Pro or an MSI Vector—those are in a different universe. A fairer comparison is to a used Dell Latitude or ThinkPad. Even a 5-year-old model with an Intel i5 would destroy this laptop in every task. If you absolutely need new and cheap, look at entry-level Chromebooks or laptops with AMD Ryzen 3 or Intel Core i3 chips. They'll cost about the same and won't lie to you about being a gaming machine.

Verdict
Hard pass. This laptop is built on misleading specs and a fundamentally weak processor. It's not suitable for gaming, creative work, or even smooth everyday use if you have more than a few browser tabs open. The low reliability score is the final nail in the coffin. Save your $360 and put it toward literally anything else.
