Giz Wiz Show 1755 November 27, 2019 Independent Show #237

Wow! The Giz Wiz Show is in year 13 overall & our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv. You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. Thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. Thanks from OMGchad & DickDe!

Peakago is an amazing mini PC that's offered in a few different versions. It's best to check their website for the latest specs and prices because it seems they are upgrading some of the components. I got an early sample to try and it's impressive for the price, which is as low as $265 as of 11/27/19. You can use this computer as a mini-laptop, fold the keyboard back to 'tent' mode to watch movies, or fold the keyboard 180 degrees to use it as a tablet. My product sample is running Windows 10 Home. I believe the lowest price version comes with Windows 10S which limits you to apps from the Microsoft Store. (A fellow reporter says it's easy to change 10S to 10 on the Peakage. I didn't need to do that, so I don't know how that works.) Video quality for it's size is great! It's a 7” 1080P IPS touch screen. It charges via USB-C so you don't need to take a brick with you when you travel. It has an ok camera (I believe it's 480P) and there's a mic built-in too for Skype. There's also a 4G version, but mine is WiFi only. The keyboard keys are large for the size of the unit, but I couldn't touch-type on it. All-in-all, for the price, starting at $265.00 this is an amazing PC! It's was still on Indiegogo as of 11/27/19, so you can check out the latest details there. (Link below.)
