form factor with a Chrome OS like form factor with a Chrome OS like form factor with a Chrome OS like operating system this right here is an operating system this right here is an operating system this right here is an Arm based tablet with some rather Arm based tablet with some rather Arm based tablet with some rather impressive specifications but what is impressive specifications but what is impressive specifications but what is really impressive about it to me is the really impressive about it to me is the really impressive about it to me is the hackability factor of it fight OS is the hackability factor of it fight OS is the hackability factor of it fight OS is the factory default operating system which factory default operating system which factory default operating system which we will be covering in just a minute in we will be covering in just a minute in we will be covering in just a minute in addition to that they have open five addition to that they have open five addition to that they have open five which is the developer an open source which is the developer an open source which is the developer an open source version of Fidos but in addition to that version of Fidos but in addition to that version of Fidos but in addition to that the bootloader and all that's unlocked the bootloader and all that's unlocked the bootloader and all that's unlocked so you could go ahead and Flash really so you could go ahead and Flash really so you could go ahead and Flash really whatever you want to it so theoretically whatever you want to it so theoretically whatever you want to it so theoretically we can Flash popular Linux distributions we can Flash popular Linux distributions we can Flash popular Linux distributions to this as well as various builds of the to this as well as various builds of the to this as well as various builds of the Android open source project now before Android open source project now before Android open source project now before we get ahead of ourselves this item we get ahead of ourselves this item we get ahead of ourselves this item right here is a prototype on their right here is a prototype on their right here is a prototype on their little Indiegogo page here we can see little Indiegogo page here we can see little Indiegogo page here we can see the current stage which is in the the current stage which is in the the current stage which is in the prototyping stage so that's what I'm prototyping stage so that's what I'm prototyping stage so that's what I'm assuming this is and just because of how assuming this is and just because of how assuming this is and just because of how new this is the company behind it is new this is the company behind it is new this is the company behind it is still actually working on all the still actually working on all the still actually working on all the document augmentation and everything document augmentation and everything document augmentation and everything later on we will be trying to flash later on we will be trying to flash later on we will be trying to flash something else to this but I'm going to something else to this but I'm going to something else to this but I'm going to be going off of solely the instructions be going off of solely the instructions be going off of solely the instructions of a email that I got so before we talk of a email that I got so before we talk of a email that I got so before we talk about specifications and software we about specifications and software we about specifications and software we first need to talk about what you first need to talk about what you first need to talk about what you actually get with the thing and what actually get with the thing and what actually get with the thing and what came in the box at least that I received came in the box at least that I received came in the box at least that I received it showed up in a standard branded white it showed up in a standard branded white it showed up in a standard branded white box and when we first open it up we box and when we first open it up we box and when we first open it up we actually have the tablet front and actually have the tablet front and actually have the tablet front and center and a little protective bag it center and a little protective bag it center and a little protective bag it has a little stick around with the has a little stick around with the has a little stick around with the serial number and some of the serial number and some of the serial number and some of the specifications after the tablet we go specifications after the tablet we go specifications after the tablet we go ahead and remove this white box as some ahead and remove this white box as some ahead and remove this white box as some of the accessories and now going further of the accessories and now going further of the accessories and now going further into the box you can see that it into the box you can see that it into the box you can see that it definitely has had better days this is a

for PC for you and Enterprise Solutions for PC for you and Enterprise Solutions now with that let's talk about actually now with that let's talk about actually now with that let's talk about actually opening it up in the initial setup opening it up in the initial setup opening it up in the initial setup process now this is footage from when I process now this is footage from when I process now this is footage from when I did initially set up the device first it did initially set up the device first it did initially set up the device first it welcomes you in welcome to your fide OS welcomes you in welcome to your fide OS welcomes you in welcome to your fide OS device from there you go ahead and device from there you go ahead and device from there you go ahead and connect to your Wi-Fi network and of connect to your Wi-Fi network and of connect to your Wi-Fi network and of course this is the non-open source course this is the non-open source course this is the non-open source version so they are going to have a end version so they are going to have a end version so they are going to have a end user agreement that you have to kind of user agreement that you have to kind of user agreement that you have to kind of scroll through and agree to but a really scroll through and agree to but a really scroll through and agree to but a really cool thing in that user agreement it cool thing in that user agreement it cool thing in that user agreement it actually specifies that if you don't actually specifies that if you don't actually specifies that if you don't want to use this system you could go want to use this system you could go want to use this system you could go ahead and just wipe it off and use ahead and just wipe it off and use ahead and just wipe it off and use something else once you do agree to it something else once you do agree to it something else once you do agree to it you have a couple options you can sign you have a couple options you can sign you have a couple options you can sign and create an account with fight Os or and create an account with fight Os or and create an account with fight Os or you could do what I initially did which you could do what I initially did which you could do what I initially did which was actually creating an offline account was actually creating an offline account was actually creating an offline account What You Do by clicking use local What You Do by clicking use local What You Do by clicking use local account in the bottom left corner and account in the bottom left corner and account in the bottom left corner and then you go through a simple setup then you go through a simple setup then you go through a simple setup process username password all that fun process username password all that fun process username password all that fun stuff from there you set up your stuff from there you set up your stuff from there you set up your fingerprint so you just unlock your fingerprint so you just unlock your fingerprint so you just unlock your device with that you go ahead choose a device with that you go ahead choose a device with that you go ahead choose a pin and then it's going to take you pin and then it's going to take you pin and then it's going to take you through a basic tutorial about gestures through a basic tutorial about gestures through a basic tutorial about gestures and all that and then from there boom and all that and then from there boom and all that and then from there boom you're booted right into the desktop you're booted right into the desktop you're booted right into the desktop environment so with that we're going to environment so with that we're going to environment so with that we're going to dive onto the device kind of go through dive onto the device kind of go through dive onto the device kind of go through what we get out of the gate here all what we get out of the gate here all what we get out of the gate here all right and here we are in the actual right and here we are in the actual right and here we are in the actual Fidos operating system now this I've Fidos operating system now this I've Fidos operating system now this I've been using for a couple days so I have been using for a couple days so I have been using for a couple days so I have experience with some of the pros and experience with some of the pros and experience with some of the pros and cons thus far in these early stages of cons thus far in these early stages of cons thus far in these early stages of development and like I said this is development and like I said this is development and like I said this is basically a fork of Chrome OS so you're basically a fork of Chrome OS so you're basically a fork of Chrome OS so you're going to have basically all the same going to have basically all the same going to have basically all the same overall functionality settings utilities overall functionality settings utilities overall functionality settings utilities tools and if you're familiar with Chrome tools and if you're familiar with Chrome tools and if you're familiar with Chrome OS you're going to be very familiar with OS you're going to be very familiar with OS you're going to be very familiar with how this works overall touch screen you how this works overall touch screen you how this works overall touch screen you can see it is a very responsive I could can see it is a very responsive I could can see it is a very responsive I could go ahead and double tap to snap that

go ahead and double tap to snap that go ahead and double tap to snap that this is our system settings you will be this is our system settings you will be this is our system settings you will be missing some things but you can see missing some things but you can see missing some things but you can see right here I currently am signed into a right here I currently am signed into a right here I currently am signed into a Google account despite the fact that it Google account despite the fact that it Google account despite the fact that it is to Google like I said you can have is to Google like I said you can have is to Google like I said you can have that option to go ahead and sign in I that option to go ahead and sign in I that option to go ahead and sign in I actually switched to this instead of actually switched to this instead of actually switched to this instead of using the offline account because I using the offline account because I using the offline account because I wanted to have some things automatically wanted to have some things automatically wanted to have some things automatically signed into such as over here if I go to signed into such as over here if I go to signed into such as over here if I go to Google Drive you can see I have just Google Drive you can see I have just Google Drive you can see I have just about everything automatically synced up about everything automatically synced up about everything automatically synced up ready to go which is very handy like ready to go which is very handy like ready to go which is very handy like Chrome OS near my files I have my Chrome OS near my files I have my Chrome OS near my files I have my downloads a separate directory for downloads a separate directory for downloads a separate directory for Android and Linux files and I went ahead Android and Linux files and I went ahead Android and Linux files and I went ahead and played with both of these and we're and played with both of these and we're and played with both of these and we're going to be talking more about those in going to be talking more about those in going to be talking more about those in just a second and when it comes to just a second and when it comes to just a second and when it comes to pre-included Applications there are a pre-included Applications there are a pre-included Applications there are a couple really not much everything from couple really not much everything from couple really not much everything from Instagram over I added so this had Instagram over I added so this had Instagram over I added so this had chromium camera store Android they have chromium camera store Android they have chromium camera store Android they have their own RDP client and if I scroll their own RDP client and if I scroll their own RDP client and if I scroll down here we have our settings and the down here we have our settings and the down here we have our settings and the web store now real quick I want to dive web store now real quick I want to dive web store now real quick I want to dive into their store just to kind of show into their store just to kind of show into their store just to kind of show you some of the things that you can get you some of the things that you can get you some of the things that you can get right here under made by fight OS this right here under made by fight OS this right here under made by fight OS this is some of their applications they have is some of their applications they have is some of their applications they have the remote desktop viewer they have the remote desktop viewer they have the remote desktop viewer they have their own OneDrive application out of their own OneDrive application out of their own OneDrive application out of all these though the only thing I try it all these though the only thing I try it all these though the only thing I try it out which is the open G apps which is out which is the open G apps which is out which is the open G apps which is the curated collection of Google the curated collection of Google the curated collection of Google applications so you can actually get the applications so you can actually get the applications so you can actually get the Play Store so all the dependencies and Play Store so all the dependencies and Play Store so all the dependencies and everything automatically work now before everything automatically work now before everything automatically work now before I realized this was in here I actually I realized this was in here I actually I realized this was in here I actually tried to get it set up myself to nothing tried to get it set up myself to nothing tried to get it set up myself to nothing but failure and then I noticed this here but failure and then I noticed this here but failure and then I noticed this here and it was it was very nice under and it was it was very nice under and it was it was very nice under Essentials here it starts turning into Essentials here it starts turning into Essentials here it starts turning into the normal Chrome Store so you have a the normal Chrome Store so you have a the normal Chrome Store so you have a lot of various web

lot of various web browser extensions lot of various web browser extensions web tools web apps if we go to this tool web tools web apps if we go to this tool web tools web apps if we go to this tool you could see some of the options here you could see some of the options here you could see some of the options here so basically just better integrating so basically just better integrating so basically just better integrating websites into your system if we go down websites into your system if we go down websites into your system if we go down here under Android apps they have a here under Android apps they have a here under Android apps they have a couple curated and pre-loaded that work couple curated and pre-loaded that work couple curated and pre-loaded that work very well with the system but of course very well with the system but of course very well with the system but of course we can access the normal Google Play we can access the normal Google Play we can access the normal Google Play Store and if you do want to keep this Store and if you do want to keep this Store and if you do want to keep this device D Googled I did go ahead and test device D Googled I did go ahead and test device D Googled I did go ahead and test out applications such as F Droid and out applications such as F Droid and out applications such as F Droid and other APK downloading Suites and they other APK downloading Suites and they other APK downloading Suites and they all generally work fine but there are all generally work fine but there are all generally work fine but there are some issues here and there at some of some issues here and there at some of some issues here and there at some of the dependencies aren't going to be the dependencies aren't going to be the dependencies aren't going to be perfect and before we dive more into perfect and before we dive more into perfect and before we dive more into Android let's quickly open up chromium Android let's quickly open up chromium Android let's quickly open up chromium and test some of these system and test some of these system and test some of these system performance so what I'm going to do here performance so what I'm going to do here performance so what I'm going to do here first I'm going to go to the good old first I'm going to go to the good old first I'm going to go to the good old website techout.tv and just kind of show website techout.tv and just kind of show website techout.tv and just kind of show you some of the overall responsiveness you some of the overall responsiveness you some of the overall responsiveness it's not absolutely perfect but if we do it's not absolutely perfect but if we do it's not absolutely perfect but if we do scroll you can kind of see it is fairly scroll you can kind of see it is fairly scroll you can kind of see it is fairly fluid there's a little chop here and fluid there's a little chop here and fluid there's a little chop here and there but nothing to measure so we can there but nothing to measure so we can there but nothing to measure so we can go and zoom in read overall it is a go and zoom in read overall it is a go and zoom in read overall it is a rather decent experience now let's go rather decent experience now let's go rather decent experience now let's go ahead and head over to thegoodle ahead and head over to thegoodle ahead and head over to thegoodle youtube.com and we got some crab Rave youtube.com and we got some crab Rave youtube.com and we got some crab Rave going and you can see there are a couple going and you can see there are a couple going and you can see there are a couple dropped frames and overall it is kind of dropped frames and overall it is kind of dropped frames and overall it is kind of a little choppier than I'd prefer we are a little choppier than I'd prefer we are a little choppier than I'd prefer we are currently sitting at 1080p at the moment currently sitting at 1080p at the moment currently sitting at 1080p at the moment so at least in their native Chrome so at least in their native Chrome so at least in their native Chrome browser we're seeing about 200 to the browser we're seeing about 200 to the browser we're seeing about 200 to the 1200 frames being dropped 1200 frames being dropped 1200 frames being dropped and if I do bump it up to the native and if I do bump it up to the native and if I do bump it up to the native resolution which is going to be roughly resolution which is going to be roughly resolution which is going to be roughly 1440p the ratios seem to be roughly the 1440p the ratios seem to be roughly the 1440p the ratios seem to be roughly the same I do have to say the screen does same I do have to say the screen does same I do have to say the screen does look absolutely phenomenal and I will

look absolutely phenomenal and I will look absolutely phenomenal and I will note later on in this video we're going note later on in this video we're going note later on in this video we're going to see a little Improvement the video to see a little Improvement the video to see a little Improvement the video playback here now one thing you may be playback here now one thing you may be playback here now one thing you may be interested in is Android applications interested in is Android applications interested in is Android applications like I said earlier we do have the Play like I said earlier we do have the Play like I said earlier we do have the Play Store available to us and most other Store available to us and most other Store available to us and most other methods do work when you install this methods do work when you install this methods do work when you install this openg apps application you just launch openg apps application you just launch openg apps application you just launch it install it your device reboots and it install it your device reboots and it install it your device reboots and then you're generally good to go if I then you're generally good to go if I then you're generally good to go if I open this up we do have access to a good open this up we do have access to a good open this up we do have access to a good amount of the Android settings not amount of the Android settings not amount of the Android settings not everything but a good amount and just to everything but a good amount and just to everything but a good amount and just to show you that the Play Store works fine show you that the Play Store works fine show you that the Play Store works fine I'm going to go ahead and open it up I'm going to go ahead and open it up I'm going to go ahead and open it up again the Play Store does not come again the Play Store does not come again the Play Store does not come pre-included and it looks like my uh pre-included and it looks like my uh pre-included and it looks like my uh Play store has disappeared but I still Play store has disappeared but I still Play store has disappeared but I still have some of the applications I have some of the applications I have some of the applications I downloaded earlier so I guess I'm going downloaded earlier so I guess I'm going downloaded earlier so I guess I'm going to need to reinstall it so let's to need to reinstall it so let's to need to reinstall it so let's reinstall go next install Okay note I reinstall go next install Okay note I reinstall go next install Okay note I did just perform a system update on OS did just perform a system update on OS did just perform a system update on OS so that might be the reason why the Play so that might be the reason why the Play so that might be the reason why the Play Store disappeared on me alright just Store disappeared on me alright just Store disappeared on me alright just rebooted and we can see that the Play rebooted and we can see that the Play rebooted and we can see that the Play Store is now there so just required a Store is now there so just required a Store is now there so just required a little reinstall after the system update little reinstall after the system update little reinstall after the system update and I'm gonna have to sign in again and I'm gonna have to sign in again and I'm gonna have to sign in again here's our little Google services prompt here's our little Google services prompt here's our little Google services prompt so I'm going to go ahead and accept that so I'm going to go ahead and accept that so I'm going to go ahead and accept that and here we are into the full Play Store and here we are into the full Play Store and here we are into the full Play Store and it's super easy to grab applications and it's super easy to grab applications and it's super easy to grab applications just like you normally would we have just like you normally would we have just like you normally would we have applications here so I could grab applications here so I could grab applications here so I could grab something like krita for example hit something like krita for example hit something like krita for example hit install and it'll just run through that install and it'll just run through that install and it'll just run through that normal installation process create a normal installation process create a normal installation process create a wonderful open source application by the wonderful open source application by the wonderful open source application by the KDE development team definitely would KDE development team definitely would KDE development team definitely would recommend now while that installs I do recommend now while that installs I do recommend now while that installs I do kind of want to show you some of the kind of want to show you some of the kind of want to show you some of the Android applications that I've already

Android applications that I've already Android applications that I've already installed on here first of all I'm going installed on here first of all I'm going installed on here first of all I'm going to start with the main issue that I've to start with the main issue that I've to start with the main issue that I've noticed and the issue is video playback noticed and the issue is video playback noticed and the issue is video playback in any Android application does not seem in any Android application does not seem in any Android application does not seem to be working as it should so if I go to be working as it should so if I go to be working as it should so if I go try to start something up here let's hit try to start something up here let's hit try to start something up here let's hit play and we get nothing eventually the play and we get nothing eventually the play and we get nothing eventually the application will just crash itself out application will just crash itself out application will just crash itself out and the show isn't just jellyfish I'll and the show isn't just jellyfish I'll and the show isn't just jellyfish I'll open up something like Instagram and open up something like Instagram and open up something like Instagram and then under reels here you can see it's then under reels here you can see it's then under reels here you can see it's just the videos just don't play but just the videos just don't play but just the videos just don't play but other than that I haven't had any other than that I haven't had any other than that I haven't had any significant issues and I could kind of significant issues and I could kind of significant issues and I could kind of show that by opening up an application show that by opening up an application show that by opening up an application let's open up this hockey game real let's open up this hockey game real let's open up this hockey game real quick and this game does perform better quick and this game does perform better quick and this game does perform better without the keyboard so it's as simple without the keyboard so it's as simple without the keyboard so it's as simple as popping this off and the tablet will as popping this off and the tablet will as popping this off and the tablet will automatically switch to tablet mode so automatically switch to tablet mode so automatically switch to tablet mode so then I could go ahead and use these then I could go ahead and use these then I could go ahead and use these controls you can see it's really smooth controls you can see it's really smooth controls you can see it's really smooth everything just works pretty good so everything just works pretty good so everything just works pretty good so boom boom boom and this is a random game boom boom boom and this is a random game boom boom boom and this is a random game I I installed for this demo and I mean I I installed for this demo and I mean I I installed for this demo and I mean it's a pretty good game you can actually it's a pretty good game you can actually it's a pretty good game you can actually utilize the keyboard and mouse for a lot utilize the keyboard and mouse for a lot utilize the keyboard and mouse for a lot of these games so it's more of a PC like of these games so it's more of a PC like of these games so it's more of a PC like gaming experience so using wasd here you gaming experience so using wasd here you gaming experience so using wasd here you just go ahead oh and play this move my just go ahead oh and play this move my just go ahead oh and play this move my mouse out of the way mouse out of the way mouse out of the way and overall it is a rather solid gaming and overall it is a rather solid gaming and overall it is a rather solid gaming experience the uh specs are experience the uh specs are experience the uh specs are fairly decent so it should be and I will fairly decent so it should be and I will fairly decent so it should be and I will know I'm also screen recording right now know I'm also screen recording right now know I'm also screen recording right now so that might be uh responsible for a so that might be uh responsible for a so that might be uh responsible for a dropped frame here or there now the real dropped frame here or there now the real dropped frame here or there now the real question being how do Android question being how do Android question being how do Android applications perform so I have actually applications perform so I have actually applications perform so I have actually installed a few and it's just the same installed a few and it's just the same installed a few and it's just the same exact process as setting up normal
-
exact process as setting up normal exact process as setting up normal Android on a Chrome OS device like this Android on a Chrome OS device like this Android on a Chrome OS device like this you enable it through settings pick your you enable it through settings pick your you enable it through settings pick your storage and then it gives you full storage and then it gives you full storage and then it gives you full access to a Linux terminal which I do access to a Linux terminal which I do access to a Linux terminal which I do believe is running Debian in the believe is running Debian in the believe is running Debian in the background so there we go some full background so there we go some full background so there we go some full Linux container action and you can see I Linux container action and you can see I Linux container action and you can see I don't have H top so I could just install don't have H top so I could just install don't have H top so I could just install it with a sudo apt install h-top enter it with a sudo apt install h-top enter it with a sudo apt install h-top enter and now if I go ahead and run h-top you and now if I go ahead and run h-top you and now if I go ahead and run h-top you can see it's working good Linux itself can see it's working good Linux itself can see it's working good Linux itself is using very little system resources is using very little system resources is using very little system resources which is always nice and then of course which is always nice and then of course which is always nice and then of course I just click quit to quit out of there I just click quit to quit out of there I just click quit to quit out of there and I don't really need the terminal to and I don't really need the terminal to and I don't really need the terminal to open up any other applications so I can open up any other applications so I can open up any other applications so I can show you what I've pre-installed or what show you what I've pre-installed or what show you what I've pre-installed or what I've already installed and test it out I've already installed and test it out I've already installed and test it out we have the VLC media player we have we have the VLC media player we have we have the VLC media player we have and I went ahead and threw in a and I went ahead and threw in a and I went ahead and threw in a larger application such as qgis just to larger application such as qgis just to larger application such as qgis just to see if something with a boatload of see if something with a boatload of see if something with a boatload of dependencies is going to load fine what dependencies is going to load fine what dependencies is going to load fine what shows you can see here it has indeed so shows you can see here it has indeed so shows you can see here it has indeed so if I go ahead and open up something if I go ahead and open up something if I go ahead and open up something super simple you will get little super simple you will get little super simple you will get little graphical things like this where things graphical things like this where things graphical things like this where things just kind of black out on you but it's just kind of black out on you but it's just kind of black out on you but it's all still there and it still works I've all still there and it still works I've all still there and it still works I've opened up open street map here okay if I opened up open street map here okay if I opened up open street map here okay if I move the window a little bit usually move the window a little bit usually move the window a little bit usually that kind of Remedies the issue but as that kind of Remedies the issue but as that kind of Remedies the issue but as you can see I'm now zooming in to you can see I'm now zooming in to you can see I'm now zooming in to Washington using openstreetmaps and I Washington using openstreetmaps and I Washington using openstreetmaps and I could do qgis type activities directly could do qgis type activities directly could do qgis type activities directly through here if need be so it's really through here if need be so it's really through here if need be so it's really nice that works I'm going to go ahead nice that works I'm going to go ahead nice that works I'm going to go ahead and close this out disregard if I open and close this out disregard if I open and close this out disregard if I open up something like a VLC media player up something like a VLC media player up something like a VLC media player give that a copy I'm going to drop it

give that a copy I'm going to drop it give that a copy I'm going to drop it into Linux so paste that on in there and into Linux so paste that on in there and into Linux so paste that on in there and there we go so theoretically we should there we go so theoretically we should there we go so theoretically we should be able to go to Brandon we can see that be able to go to Brandon we can see that be able to go to Brandon we can see that screen recording and I could open that screen recording and I could open that screen recording and I could open that up and view it with VLC so here's just up and view it with VLC so here's just up and view it with VLC so here's just evidence that media playback through the evidence that media playback through the evidence that media playback through the Linux subsystem does work a little bit Linux subsystem does work a little bit Linux subsystem does work a little bit better than Android now of course that's better than Android now of course that's better than Android now of course that's not all I tested is a rather useful not all I tested is a rather useful not all I tested is a rather useful tool to have it's a very extensive photo tool to have it's a very extensive photo tool to have it's a very extensive photo editor and I've actually made like two editor and I've actually made like two editor and I've actually made like two thumbnails in here and I have not run thumbnails in here and I have not run thumbnails in here and I have not run into a single issue except for kind of into a single issue except for kind of into a single issue except for kind of file management you have to make sure file management you have to make sure file management you have to make sure and put downloads into the Linux folder and put downloads into the Linux folder and put downloads into the Linux folder but that's really about it overall it's but that's really about it overall it's but that's really about it overall it's Snappy it has settings to make a lot of Snappy it has settings to make a lot of Snappy it has settings to make a lot of these buttons bigger I just reinstalled these buttons bigger I just reinstalled these buttons bigger I just reinstalled this a little while ago so I don't have this a little while ago so I don't have this a little while ago so I don't have all my exact customizations that I had all my exact customizations that I had all my exact customizations that I had prior to that but you can see if I run prior to that but you can see if I run prior to that but you can see if I run something that's moderately intensive something that's moderately intensive something that's moderately intensive such as the lava render it's really not such as the lava render it's really not such as the lava render it's really not any slower or anything like that then any slower or anything like that then any slower or anything like that then running it on something that's Linux running it on something that's Linux running it on something that's Linux native with a device of the similar native with a device of the similar native with a device of the similar specifications I'm going to zoom in real specifications I'm going to zoom in real specifications I'm going to zoom in real quick here just to show you it doesn't quick here just to show you it doesn't quick here just to show you it doesn't have the real time kind of movement you have the real time kind of movement you have the real time kind of movement you could see that little dot that shows up could see that little dot that shows up could see that little dot that shows up to kind of show me where things are to kind of show me where things are to kind of show me where things are going to be and overall it is really going to be and overall it is really going to be and overall it is really Snappy now now speaking of Snappy I did Snappy now now speaking of Snappy I did Snappy now now speaking of Snappy I did run geekbench on a couple different run geekbench on a couple different run geekbench on a couple different systems so we're able to compare it to systems so we're able to compare it to systems so we're able to compare it to what they at least present on their what they at least present on their what they at least present on their website and really that's all there is website and really that's all there is website and really that's all there is to it when it comes to this system to it when it comes to this system to it when it comes to this system basically all the features and basically all the features and basically all the features and functionality that you'd expect out of a functionality that you'd expect out of a functionality that you'd expect out of a Chrome OS type environment with the Chrome OS type environment with the Chrome OS type environment with the availability to do what we're about to

availability to do what we're about to availability to do what we're about to do right now now it is at this point do right now now it is at this point do right now now it is at this point that we're going to start diving into that we're going to start diving into that we're going to start diving into some unfamiliar territory for myself some unfamiliar territory for myself some unfamiliar territory for myself because we're going to try flashing some because we're going to try flashing some because we're going to try flashing some other operating systems on this thing other operating systems on this thing other operating systems on this thing because for at least me personally that because for at least me personally that because for at least me personally that is one of the main selling points of is one of the main selling points of is one of the main selling points of this tablet so now for the flashing this tablet so now for the flashing this tablet so now for the flashing process we're going to start off by process we're going to start off by process we're going to start off by flashing an Android image here and flashing an Android image here and flashing an Android image here and they're going to have a Wiki soon but they're going to have a Wiki soon but they're going to have a Wiki soon but this is what I have to work with at the this is what I have to work with at the this is what I have to work with at the moment which is an email covering some moment which is an email covering some moment which is an email covering some of the instructions they do have tools of the instructions they do have tools of the instructions they do have tools for Linux Mac OS and windows which is for Linux Mac OS and windows which is for Linux Mac OS and windows which is very nice and apparently the windows one very nice and apparently the windows one very nice and apparently the windows one is a GUI tool so that's super handy the is a GUI tool so that's super handy the is a GUI tool so that's super handy the Linux upgrade tools right here and what Linux upgrade tools right here and what Linux upgrade tools right here and what I did is I just downloaded this in I did is I just downloaded this in I did is I just downloaded this in entire repo and is sitting currently in entire repo and is sitting currently in entire repo and is sitting currently in my documents folder here under tool what my documents folder here under tool what my documents folder here under tool what we're going to do real quick is quickly we're going to do real quick is quickly we're going to do real quick is quickly Flash the Android image just go ahead Flash the Android image just go ahead Flash the Android image just go ahead and test that out and then we're going and test that out and then we're going and test that out and then we're going to be diving into the Debian image to go to be diving into the Debian image to go to be diving into the Debian image to go ahead and test that but on the device ahead and test that but on the device ahead and test that but on the device here I have it completely powered down I here I have it completely powered down I here I have it completely powered down I have USBC to usba plugged into the have USBC to usba plugged into the have USBC to usba plugged into the computer that I'm going to be computer that I'm going to be computer that I'm going to be transferring the image from and all I transferring the image from and all I transferring the image from and all I need to do really is hold down the up need to do really is hold down the up need to do really is hold down the up button or the volume up button and press button or the volume up button and press button or the volume up button and press the power button and now we can see that the power button and now we can see that the power button and now we can see that it's not going to do anything that the it's not going to do anything that the it's not going to do anything that the screen has slightly illuminated just a screen has slightly illuminated just a screen has slightly illuminated just a little bit and that means we are ready little bit and that means we are ready little bit and that means we are ready to go so what I'm going to do is go into to go so what I'm going to do is go into to go so what I'm going to do is go into the directory in which I have my tool so the directory in which I have my tool so the directory in which I have my tool so I'm going to open that up I already have I'm going to open that up I already have I'm going to open that up I already have the command that I ran a little bit ago the command that I ran a little bit ago the command that I ran a little bit ago and then we're going to do UF and point and then we're going to do UF and point and then we're going to do UF and point that to the image that we're going to that to the image that we're going to that to the image that we're going to flash in this case it's going to be the flash in this case it's going to be the flash in this case it's going to be the Android open source project all we do

Android open source project all we do Android open source project all we do from there hit enter type in our sudo from there hit enter type in our sudo from there hit enter type in our sudo password and there we go if it doesn't password and there we go if it doesn't password and there we go if it doesn't detect you'll get a little warning here detect you'll get a little warning here detect you'll get a little warning here but if you see it says downloading the but if you see it says downloading the but if you see it says downloading the image there that's how you know that it image there that's how you know that it image there that's how you know that it is working completely fine and then when is working completely fine and then when is working completely fine and then when it's done you'll see firmware upgrade it's done you'll see firmware upgrade it's done you'll see firmware upgrade complete and we can see over here we do complete and we can see over here we do complete and we can see over here we do have some feedback and we will get the have some feedback and we will get the have some feedback and we will get the Android boot screen here and this is of Android boot screen here and this is of Android boot screen here and this is of course full Android 12. one thing I need course full Android 12. one thing I need course full Android 12. one thing I need to do real quick is enable auto rotation to do real quick is enable auto rotation to do real quick is enable auto rotation so let's go ahead enable that and it so let's go ahead enable that and it so let's go ahead enable that and it will flip to our normal scale here and will flip to our normal scale here and will flip to our normal scale here and when it comes to Android on this device when it comes to Android on this device when it comes to Android on this device it is super Bare Bones you don't really it is super Bare Bones you don't really it is super Bare Bones you don't really have the Play Store any Google services have the Play Store any Google services have the Play Store any Google services this is just the Android open source this is just the Android open source this is just the Android open source project so you have basic Explorer you project so you have basic Explorer you project so you have basic Explorer you have the webview browser tester which is have the webview browser tester which is have the webview browser tester which is the the web browser we get really not a the the web browser we get really not a the the web browser we get really not a lot and you can spend some time to go lot and you can spend some time to go lot and you can spend some time to go through here and add everything that through here and add everything that through here and add everything that you're going to be needing let's go to you're going to be needing let's go to you're going to be needing let's go to techhut.tv shall we oh of course we do techhut.tv shall we oh of course we do techhut.tv shall we oh of course we do need to connect to internet and it does need to connect to internet and it does need to connect to internet and it does work fine everything's kind of disabled work fine everything's kind of disabled work fine everything's kind of disabled out of the gate on this and then there out of the gate on this and then there out of the gate on this and then there we go we're now in the system and it is we go we're now in the system and it is we go we're now in the system and it is actually a pretty quick interface I mean actually a pretty quick interface I mean actually a pretty quick interface I mean this is just good hard Hardware in this is just good hard Hardware in this is just good hard Hardware in general I say this every time the general I say this every time the general I say this every time the YouTube homepage without being logged YouTube homepage without being logged YouTube homepage without being logged into an account is just like the into an account is just like the into an account is just like the definition of a nightmare on here this definition of a nightmare on here this definition of a nightmare on here this is such a diploaded version of Android is such a diploaded version of Android is such a diploaded version of Android we have a zero dropped frames right now we have a zero dropped frames right now we have a zero dropped frames right now it's going pretty good bumping this up it's going pretty good bumping this up it's going pretty good bumping this up to a 1440p you can see it's really just to a 1440p you can see it's really just to a 1440p you can see it's really just uh running good and of course being that uh running good and of course being that uh running good and of course being that this is just like Bare Bones Android this is just like Bare Bones Android this is just like Bare Bones Android it's going to take a little bit of

it's going to take a little bit of it's going to take a little bit of tinkering in the work to get everything tinkering in the work to get everything tinkering in the work to get everything that you're gonna need to make this a that you're gonna need to make this a that you're gonna need to make this a fully functioning system but this is fully functioning system but this is fully functioning system but this is nice so with that it's time to go ahead nice so with that it's time to go ahead nice so with that it's time to go ahead and try some Linux and here we are in and try some Linux and here we are in and try some Linux and here we are in the Linux distribution that is currently the Linux distribution that is currently the Linux distribution that is currently available to us the Debian image and I available to us the Debian image and I available to us the Debian image and I will note the five team hasn't really will note the five team hasn't really will note the five team hasn't really had an opportunity to fine-tune this yet had an opportunity to fine-tune this yet had an opportunity to fine-tune this yet specifically to this tablet and for that specifically to this tablet and for that specifically to this tablet and for that being the case I mean it is running being the case I mean it is running being the case I mean it is running pretty good it's a little glitchy some pretty good it's a little glitchy some pretty good it's a little glitchy some things don't work I can't really install things don't work I can't really install things don't work I can't really install any packages at the moment I think it's any packages at the moment I think it's any packages at the moment I think it's locked down to prevent breakage and this locked down to prevent breakage and this locked down to prevent breakage and this distro is really just a generic Debian distro is really just a generic Debian distro is really just a generic Debian image from rocket ship for their image from rocket ship for their image from rocket ship for their processors and on the fight tab here processors and on the fight tab here processors and on the fight tab here everything is generally pretty Snappy everything is generally pretty Snappy everything is generally pretty Snappy for example if I go ahead and open up for example if I go ahead and open up for example if I go ahead and open up the web browser if I can properly click the web browser if I can properly click the web browser if I can properly click on it there we go we got some crab Brave on it there we go we got some crab Brave on it there we go we got some crab Brave opened up and ready to go and the opened up and ready to go and the opened up and ready to go and the performance of just this alone is performance of just this alone is performance of just this alone is actually quite impressive I'm going to actually quite impressive I'm going to actually quite impressive I'm going to go ahead and full screen it give it a go ahead and full screen it give it a go ahead and full screen it give it a play and this is at 1080P and right now there and this is at 1080P and right now there are zero dropped frames I'm gonna go ahead and bump it up a bit I'm gonna go ahead and bump it up a bit to the native resolution which is 1440p to the native resolution which is 1440p to the native resolution which is 1440p roughly roughly roughly [Music] and again incredibly smooth and rather and again incredibly smooth and rather impressive actually a slightly better impressive actually a slightly better impressive actually a slightly better YouTube playback performance than the YouTube playback performance than the YouTube playback performance than the actual fight OS operating system and

device was kind of similar had the same device was kind of similar had the same kind of philosophy except for the the kind of philosophy except for the the kind of philosophy except for the the main issue that the jingling team had main issue that the jingling team had main issue that the jingling team had was they really put a lot of their was they really put a lot of their was they really put a lot of their effort and focus into developing their effort and focus into developing their effort and focus into developing their Linux operating system for their tablet Linux operating system for their tablet Linux operating system for their tablet now where these guys have an advantage now where these guys have an advantage now where these guys have an advantage is they are forking an operating system is they are forking an operating system is they are forking an operating system that already works perfectly fine on the that already works perfectly fine on the that already works perfectly fine on the tablet so the likelihood that this tablet so the likelihood that this tablet so the likelihood that this product can actually succeed in the product can actually succeed in the product can actually succeed in the market is much higher in my opinion and market is much higher in my opinion and market is much higher in my opinion and that makes me very hopeful for the that makes me very hopeful for the that makes me very hopeful for the entire future of this so that is the entire future of this so that is the entire future of this so that is the five tab Duo let me know what you think five tab Duo let me know what you think five tab Duo let me know what you think is this something that you are is this something that you are is this something that you are interested in I know I definitely am at interested in I know I definitely am at interested in I know I definitely am at least when it comes to the Future least when it comes to the Future least when it comes to the Future development and what it ends up becoming development and what it ends up becoming development and what it ends up becoming and of course as this thing progresses I and of course as this thing progresses I and of course as this thing progresses I will probably be making a couple more will probably be making a couple more will probably be making a couple more videos on it because I'm I'm definitely videos on it because I'm I'm definitely videos on it because I'm I'm definitely looking forward to it and with all that looking forward to it and with all that looking forward to it and with all that I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely wonderful day and good bye
Summary
The main topic is the Fyd tab Duo, a Surface-like tablet running Chrome OS with impressive raw specifications. The key takeaway is its high hackability, allowing users to flash Linux distributions and Android, although it's currently a prototype with ongoing documentation.
