Asus E203: It doesn't suck for $20

Bit of a placeholder.

Don't laugh, I got it for $20.

2gb RAM/32GB EMMC. It's going to be my 'live in my car' mostly machine.

Tips:

Turn on memory compression https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-memory-compression-in-windows-10-and-windows-11.3555/

Turn off CPU power management

Make sure 64GB is allocated to GPU in Bios

Trackpad wonky: reset EC chip https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1050239/

Turn off all visual effects in Windows

Make sure both CPU cores are enabled in Windows (boot options)

Uninstall unused windows programs and features and disable services you don't need.

Set new files/downloads/etc to be created on SD.

disable system restore points (just make a bacup on a thumb drive..usb 3 is fast and this is a 32GB emmc

uninstall MS Office.

Results:

This will play YouTube videos at 1080p60 and not drop frames or max cpu. Display is only x766 but to me it looks a little better than 720p

Have 3.67GB free on the emmc so far.
