Review: Cheap Celeron 1037U Mini PC (IN-1037UA)

[bircoe]

No I love the 1037 board for that reason... The Pi on the other hand takes forever, and if the SD card has come dislodged its more messing around... Just over them, if they were to release a Pi with some fast onboard NAND that would make me happier!

Hi,
Anybody else with this box using 4.0.0. or 4.0.1 seeing one of their processors pegged at 100% due to kswapd0?

My xbmc.log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=204212

Somebody else has already posted an issue on github, but I thought I would check with other users of this box:

My output from top...notice the buffered memory is crazy! Is that normal?

Nope, mines fine, with an uptime of 3 days I'm seeing ~3-6% per core at the System Info screen.

What media do you boot from, HDD, SSD or Flash Drive?

[doug]

8 GB Kingspec mSata SSD...but...

I think I've got it working now. I believe, but am not sure, that my 4.0.1 update didn't work and i was still on 4.0.0. I didn't look that closely at the update process because it has always just worked for me. I think my copy of 4.0.1 was bad and my manual update wasn't taking. After getting a new 4.0.1, things seem to be working as they should. (fingers crossed)

[radry]

anyone tried lanczos3 scaling? does it work well?

[plupien79]

Doug... yes... I'm getting 100% usage on one core from that process.

2g ram with 1037u cpu.

[trylone]

Guys this can't be real, what is going on with this item?

(I've removed the link so other people wont buy it, the ebay seller has been hacked)

The price is simply to low... Is it a improper listing or?

[plupien79]

That's crazy... and So am I... I just bought one...
I'll cross my fingers

[radry]

I'd be careful. Ebay has been hacked so this might not be a legitimate offer. You'll never see your money again.

Yeah i think so too, but considering that guy has a lot of reputation, i'll message him about it....
