I needed a very portable windows 11 operating system device for being able to work while traveling (windows android apps have limited functionality and some programs are not even available, so android tablets/phones/other devices weren't a viable solution).For some context on my use case, run several businesses and there are always unexpected times when I might need to log on real quick and get some urgent work done. Most of this work requires Windows 11 programs. My previous solution was to carry a backpack and 13" laptop with me EVERYWHERE, which was not practical... or comfortable.This mini laptop solved all my issues. The device is perfectly small, light weight, and the processor is powerful enough to run all my "heaviest" applications necessary for work (excel, access, FTPs, document editors, etc) while on the go. I really love this thing and it has been very useful in replacing my much bigger 13" laptop, now I just carry in a smaller shoulder sling bag when I'm out. I have much more peace of mind and comfort since I no longer have to lug around a full sized laptop backpack.The keys and irregular keyboard layout take some getting used to, but I learned them within a couple of days. In my opinion, the keyboard issues others had aren't a dealbreaker unless you have massive hands and need to do a ton of typing. The mouse track pad is not ideal, but since it has a touch screen I have learned to use the screen for most of my pointer navigation and it works very well. The pen is great too. An external bluetooth mouse works great, if you're willing to carry one.Battery life has been great. For my purposes, a single charge will be sufficient for an entire day's use (at most, 2-3 hours of screen time are needed and I still have 25-40% battery). But the portable charger is compact and I usually carry it just for peace of mind. The screen size doesn't bother me, although some programs do get scrunched down into a weird layout (but are still usable).Overall, there are few devices that are this portable that run on windows 11, and many are crazy expensive. This one was priced well, and I am satisfied with the performance. It does exactly what I need it to do.

**UPDATE** 22-7-2024: KEYBOARD letter "O" malfunction. From day 1 I noticed an extreme sensitivity of the letter. One slight touch added 5 additional O's (ooooo). I thought I could manage, but after nearly 25 days, it began to interfere with my work. I reached out to Amazon and was impressed with the level of support I was provided. Initially we reinstalled the keyboard driver, but unfortunately, I had to go with a replacement. Luckily, these days almost every thing I do is backed up to a cloud and so I won't have to reinstall much. Hope this helps others out there.**Original REVIEW**Recently purchased the Koolsmile 8-inch laptop, specifically the Mini Laptop with an HD Touch Screen running Windows 11 Pro, powered by the Intel N100 4 Cores processor, featuring 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD.This little warrior has proven to be a robust and reliable companion, ideal for on-the-go use.Compact and Portable:Despite its compact size, the Koolsmile 8-inch laptop packs a punch. Its lightweight and portable design makes it a perfect travel companion for both work and pleasure. It fits easily into a bag, allowing for convenient access wherever you go.Performance and Versatility:Equipped with an Intel N100 4 Cores processor, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD, this mini laptop delivers impressive performance for its size. It's perfect for checking emails, creating documents in Word and Excel, drafting presentations in PowerPoint, and transporting documents. However, it's important to note that this device is not designed for gaming. If gaming is a priority, potential buyers should review the specs carefully.Touch Screen and Stylus Pen:One of the standout features of the Koolsmile 8-inch laptop is its responsive HD touch screen. The touch functionality is on point, especially when using the stylus pen that comes with the laptop. I find it incredibly useful for taking handwritten notes in OneNote and highlighting sections of documents when editing. This feature adds a layer of convenience and precision that enhances productivity.Battery Life and Charging:The battery life of the Koolsmile 8-inch laptop is impressive, lasting around 6 hours, which is well enough to get me through the day. The small charger is easily portable, making it convenient to carry along. However, it does take some time to reach a full charge, which is to be expected.Connectivity and Additional Features:The Koolsmile 8-inch laptop boasts modern connectivity options, including Gigabit Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and HDMI. These features ensure seamless integration with other devices and networks. However, while the built-in 2MP camera is functional, it may not meet the quality requirements for professional meetings and presentations. For better video quality, I recommend purchasing a separate small camera, such as one from Logitech's range.Accessories for Enhanced Use:For those with larger hands or a preference for full-sized keyboards, a small Bluetooth mouse and keyboard can enhance the overall experience. These accessories complement the mini laptop, making it easier to use for extended periods.Final Thoughts:Overall, the Koolsmile 8-inch laptop is an excellent choice for those seeking a portable and efficient device for travel. It's not meant to replace a primary device but serves as a perfect secondary tool for productivity on the go. With its impressive specs, versatile touch screen, stylus pen, and reliable battery life, it is highly recommended for professionals who need a reliable and compact laptop for everyday tasks.

This KOOSMILE 8 inch HD Touch Screen Mini Laptop Computer with Windows 11 Pro worked fine for the first ten days until Microsoft Windows Pro11 demanded that we update and expand the KOOSMILE's Widows 11 Pro Security Software. Shortly thereafter, the HDMI attached Amazon Fire TV Monitor, which has worked perfectly for MANY MONTHS, rotated the monitor's screen representation by 90 degrees as shown in the attached photo. We've been unable to find instructions to reverse this 90 degree rotation and return the monitor screen to its correct upright representation.The older, 11 inch Windows 10Pro Asus laptop the KOOSMILE replaces continues to work perfectly with the same inputs and connections.ALL the evidence points to the corrupt Windows 11Pro Security Update we applied at the software's direction earlier today.Please tell us how to fix this unwanted, disturbing 90 degree monitor rotation asap or we'll return the laptop.
