 I posted my review the other day of POPOS and I'm really happy with it still but I wanted to show you the differences between running it on my desktop and my laptop. So running on a laptop means you have to have a few other things functioning and working and those bases are covered with POPOS. Now let's first start with what this laptop is running. So this is running the same version POPOS 1804. It's on my laptop here with a Intel Core i5 5300U that has four cores, Intel HD graphics 5500 and 64 bits. So this is not a powerful laptop. This laptop is my daily driver per se. It's what I use all the time. It is constantly with me because this is what I take to both clients and this is actually my only computer I use at home is this laptop. So I'm on it quite a bit especially when I'm traveling or you know setting things up. So I need it to work. I need all the functions of the laptop to work and POPOS seems to have no problems with any of those. So although you can't see the difference here it does adjust the screen brightness properly which is great. Surprisingly it has the icons for things like turning my keyboard lights on and off. By the way this is a Lenovo X250. I've reviewed this laptop before you can find it here and I'll leave it in the description below along with my original review of POPOS. Now some of the differences that I really need on my laptop first is VPN and they make it really simple to have the VPN here. So we have it set up and I'm going to do a separate video on how to set up open VPN with Linux because there's sometimes some nuances it doesn't import exactly the same as it does let's say in Windows. I haven't covered this process before but I will show you that it does work perfectly fine so I can go here hit connect and up in the corner we get the little key. So now it says connected to LTS office VPN and I can just go back to turn off and it turns off the VPN. They pretty straightforward one thing I will comment on if you don't know this and jump over here to the terminal if you want to install open VPN it does not come with that out of the box I noticed so if you go to app to get install network-manager-openvpn make sure you're sudo so you have permission to install that that adds the open VPN to the networking in here so I'm going to cover that as a little side note if you're trying to get a VPN setup I don't know why they don't include open VPN installed out of the box but they don't so easy enough to put it in there but maybe not as easy to find if you're trying to google that and try to figure out how to get open VPN on there now smooth wise even though right now and like we're going to open up htop and show you I'm using simple screen recorder to record this and simple screen recorder even at idle is pulling up a firefox is pulling up some of this stuff too but you could see simple screen reporters pulling up about 20% of the processing power of the machine in general but that doesn't slow it down any in terms of everything still is really smooth I can see a slight difference from running it or not running it but not really that big so it still is a fairly efficient window management here now the key differences compared to running this on a desktop are going to be of course the battery and they put here so you have your battery options you can choose battery life balance or high performance I have it on balance battery life means you're going to extend your battery life and it will dim the screen I believe yeah it's set to dim you probably can't see that with screen recorder but I like that they have the options just right here to move it around and make adjustments so that's one key difference of course the battery charging indicators a difference I do have bluetooth on my laptop I currently have it turned on but something else it does have an option for is like airplane mode where you can turn it off now your wi-fi manager is pretty simple as well you can turn off wi-fi go to wi-fi settings and it shows all the different wi-fi so these keep that really clean interface for this and you have the airplane mode right here now the other thing you have for the power options these are a little bit more extended than they were on my desktop as well because you get the battery percentage here screen brightness keyboard brightness which is cool as it lets me adjust that dim one screen and active blank screen turn wi-fi off or bluetooth off to save power we're going to turn bluetooth off now I don't use it that often so bluetooth off and automatic suspend one battery power on and one power button is pressed power off and you can change these settings on here now something you may have noticed is by default it wants to turn off the laptop put it in suspend mode when you close the lid but you notice that option isn't here they set that by default but if you want to put this in a dock in a dock or just close it and use an external monitor there is a way to change that setting and we just use the gnome tweaks go to power and by default this is on and I can change it if I didn't want it to suspend one close I don't have a dock to test if that switches any automatic options it might if you have a laptop that supports docking some of those will stay on because it doesn't show the lid closed when it's plugged into the dock so it changes that dynamically I don't have any way to test that here but other than that it's pretty much the same other than the power statistics and the battery statistics but the battery life so far after using it for a week has been great I haven't had any issues compared to when I was running kd neon on here um this laptop generally speaking has really good battery life so it's really not been a big concern but I do care how much the os strains on it with the graphics and things like that and I think they're simpler post graphics and gnome seems to have matured quite a bit and just become a less of a hog when it comes to some of the resources on the screen and things like that so that probably contributes to the better battery life plus the latest kernel and everything else and all the tweaks that are in there but those are just a few of the differences running it on my laptop and like I said all the keys work all the multimedia keys work the on-screen displays it works perfectly fine my laptop I've had zero wi-fi problems on here and uh so this is not been a bad experience at all if I wanted to show you just a couple differences and that it does work great on a laptop as well so it's not just a good desktop operating system it's a good laptop operating system uh so that's it just a quick video about that
