Product Information

Maximise your potential with the included 12-month subscription of Microsoft 365 Personal, providing access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more, along with 1TB of cloud storage via OneDrive. Vibrant and portable, CODA 1.1 is a stylish Windows 10 laptop with Full HD display & stunning IPS technology. Practicality never looked so good with the CODA 1.1’s beautiful slim design, complemented by a rubberised outer surface to help prevent slips and drops. The system is also reasonably light for the price. Standard cheap plastic materials here, however they had been finished with an element of finesse on the lid and the keyboard area. The keys have plenty of travel, rather than the chiclet types of keys that I have come to detest as a writer on long trips. The mouse pad has very good detection, and is suitably large for this sort of system, compared to some of the micro-pads used on 15-inch devices. For the price, as mentioned, the specifications seem really impressive. At the end of the day, the heart is a dual-core Apollo Lake processor, specifically the N3350, which isn't breaking any performance records any time soon with its 1.1 GHz base frequency and 2.4 GHz turbo. This is paired with 4 GB of LPDDR4-1866 C15, which again isn't bad considering at this price people usually get 2 GB, which to be honest is not enough for Windows 10. Storage is perhaps a weak point, with only 32 GB of eMMC, which means after a full install of Windows 10Home there is only 18 GB left. But this is one of the party pieces of this design: expandable storage. CODA 1.1 comes armed with a USB Type-C port, 2 x USB 3.0 port, micro-HDMI port and a MicroSD slot allowing the built-in storage to be expanded by up to 128GB. Coupled with Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi, CODA 1.1 is ready for additional screens, headphones or speakers (directly or wirelessly) and much more.

Practicality never looked so good with the CODA 1.1’s beautiful slim design.Most of these systems are built down to a price for sure. And truth be told, the Coda Spirit I'm testing today wasn't the absolute cheapest device offered. There was a staggered offering with all the systems offering the same design, same ports, same expandability, except for stuff that can't be changed: Stream 11 vs Coda Lineup Underneath we have the CPU front and center, with everything onboard. To the left is the Spectek LPDDR4 DRAM, which is rebadged Micron memory, and on the far left is an EtronTech EJ889 which is a USB 3.0 controller. Between the Spectek and the EtronTek is a Realtek ALC269 audio codec. On the right is some Foresee eMMC, with the WiFi chip underneath. This is the Foresee eMMC chip, which Coda told us is eMMC 5.0, however we seem to have an eMMC 5.1 chip. Here is the LPDDR4 chip, showing the Spectek logo and the Micron logo. The datasheet for PS019-075BT gives the information. Taking the heatsink off, we have a thin copper sheet with a pad for the CPU, and a small raised area for a larger old control chip.

The E6500 we tested before used GMA4500 graphics, which are super old. This Celeron N3550 has HD 500 graphics, and is part of Intel’s Gen 9.5 family, so what we see here is a swing from a CPU limited test to a GPU limited test. Sort of. The N3350 is running in single-channel mode, which will hurt the performance quite a bit. The Wi-Fi chip is Intel’s 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) 1x1 solution, the AC3165. The module is not upgradeable, but the antennas are well integrated into the system.Here’s the main area of the laptop, with everything in a small PCB. The single metal heatsink is for practically every chip in the system, with zero fan for this design. A: You must have an early device; we update the Windows image with each batch produced. Devices that come preinstalled with 1903 have Reserved Storage enabled (updating to 1903 doesn’t enable this) from what I have seen Reserved Storage fixes all the issue that Windows 10 had when trying to update on low storage devices. Yes, future devices will have a more up to date Windows build. Once you have completed your update, to create more free storage space, type ‘Disk Clean-up’ into the search box and select the Disk Clean-up app On the cheaper devices, the display is usually one of the first things to go. To that end, I’ve seen 15-inch Ice Lake systems with 1366x768 displays! However one of the best upgrades for this Coda Spirit system is the 1920x1080 IPS display. Viewing angles and crispness is great. One of the areas I was concerned about though was brightness and color accuracy.
