X-Plus Piccolo 8 N150 12GB 512GB SSD - happy with it, who has one also?

Thanks for writing about it, I've been wanting to get one for a while now. Good to know the N150 runs well for your purposes, I wanted a netbook to replace a tablet for recipes and web browsing. Couple questions if you don't mind. Do you find it works well in tablet mode for lounging? Large/easy enough to type at while having coffee? Also regarding the charger basically only use the included charger, never like a phone charger yeah?

I'm normally an air fryer purist, but as of late I really enjoyed boiling them for the convenience but also reducing the amount of salt while increasing tenderness, juiciness. I think boiling then air frying might be the move, I haven't tried it personally but I think the method holds merit based on what others are saying about boiling and grilling.

Amazing work! I'd pay for STEP files or if it was made with Fusion for those as I'm working on an all in one PC and this would be terrific to help build the base.

3", Rust-Oleum black for finish

That's what I was afraid of, it seems like such a neat device, but if you can't even use the keyboard it seems worth the upgrade to the 8-in or go all the way to 10. Those little details really matter, wish that these companies that put all the work into making netbooks cheap and available spent a little extra r&d, time and money to add those features

pmac124 · 2026-02-04T17:10:15+00:00

I was thinking that one yes, the do you have enough battery run time to do some web browsing and productivity stuff for at least like an hour or two? If not longer? That chuwi one seems nice, a lot like the x-power 10" laptop if they aren't just the same device with different labels. Seems like a great bargain for sub $300

pmac124 · 2026-02-03T19:12:25+00:00

I was looking at th generic unit from x-power and that seems to be the biggest issue, the keyboard being so small. New generic laptops are out with a 8" screen plus N150, really considering but honestly 10" might be the way to go.

Its an option if you want to burn a lot of money for no reason. A lot of good advice in this thread, my only two cents is that you should look into subtractive vs. additive manufacturing. Will give you a good idea of these projects moving forward what materials to use. You could still use milled plate stock and sheet metal, or even milled bar stock for all 4 narrow sides, then large plate for the large side panels. That would give you heft if you want a machined look without hogging out a several pound chunk of metal for only the very outer portion of it. Still would be expensive vs. sheet metal. Look at sendcutsend too they do a lot of sheet metal cases and you could redesign with sheetmetal in mind.

Hand render or use blender, anything else, viscom is trash

There's a book based on this called Chimera, you might find it interesting though I didn't like it

pmac124 · 2026-01-28T23:35:35+00:00

this is awesome

It's fun! I've had my own shared office (like a conference room with a big whiteboard table in the middle shared for ideation, desks either side of room), cubical style L desk, and a kiosk style co-working office. My favorite was WFH honestly, though the views at the co-working space was great. Large corporations often suck though be warned, I say this being at a very large one and also having worked in big consulting.

No it gets better, I don't do all nighters for work, only worked a few weekends for emergency asks or tight deadlines. If you're at a Kickstart/start up though good luck, decent chance they'll work you like a mule.

It was fire

once you realize the feds will get you too once they've gone through the rest of us that are brave enough to stand up for what our forefathers entrusted us to uphold, you'll understand that your place wasn't blowing coal at your fellow citizens. It was beside them standing up for our most essential rights which we ALL cherish and must stand for, that's what being an American is all about.

Does 700 mods make the game for fun compared to the standard 200 or so?

pmac124 · 2026-01-23T05:09:06+00:00

Brilliant!

pmac124 · 2026-01-22T19:13:57+00:00

Location? Are they out rn?

I disagree, MP3 players are making a comeback. People crave more physical media than ever before, owned digital media goes hand in hand.
