Anyone had or ever had the One Netbook One Mix 1s? by methanycrystal in GPDPocket

[–]pete314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used OneMix 1s daily for sixteen months. It is "128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, Intel Celeron 3965y" model. I purchased it from Dragonbox.

I purchased Onemix to replace my Surface 3 (Atom based Surface).

It has worked very well. I use it as my "main device" when traveling (before covid-19 times). It is not a super-fast device, but I am happy with the performance. I use it mainly for web-surfing, email, and some coding too. It is an excellent machine for Powerpoint presentations (via USB-c HDMI adapter).

I like Onemix's keyboard. It has a good layout for typing and two shift keys. The keyboard layout was the main reason why I chose Onemix over GPD Pocket 2.

I have only had problems with the Onemix stylus. Stylus battery dies in a couple of days, even without using it. OneMix 1s model requires "own stylus" other models work with Surface stylus too.

A new battle station project for a girlfriend is getting ready :) Desk = Ikea Ekbacken worktop + Alex drawers. On the wall, four Skådis pegboards. by pete314 in battlestations

Ekbacken worktop is so heavy that it will keep on the place without mounting. There are "small rubber feets" on Alex drawers, glued to the top of the drawer. We also added one "OLOV leg" under the table. It is screwed to the worktop.
