I remember many years ago, I had an Acer Aspire One D255E netbook with a 10.1-inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution. I liked its portability, but the performance was rather poor and I got headaches with the 600-pixel vertical resolution, and some badly designed programs, such as USB firmware flashing tools, would not show fully on the display and be unusable.
Well almost ten years later, I’m happy to report you too can experience the same pain, with Topton L4 mini laptop equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen display offering a 1024 x 600 resolution. On the plus side, it comes with an Intel Celeron J3455 processor, 8GB RAM, and up to 1TB SSD storage, as well as a webcam and Lenovo TrackPoint-like pointing stick both of which are pretty rare on 7-inch laptops.
- SoC – Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core Apollo Lake processor @ 1.50 GHz / 2.30 GHz (Burst(, Intel HD Graphics 500; 10W TDP
- System Memory – 8GB RAM
- Storage – 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB M.2 2280 SSD; MicroSD card slot

- Video Output – Mini HDMI port
- Audio – Stereo speaker, 3.5mm audio jack
- Webcam – 2MP camera on left side of display
- Connectivity – Dual-band WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0
- USB – 2x USB 3.0 ports
- User input – QWERTY keyboard with 18.5mm key pitch (second language: Russian, Spanish, Italian or Arabic can be printed on request), touchscreen, left/right mouse buttons, TrackPoint-like pointing stick
- Misc – Copper pipe + fan cooling,
- Battery – 38Wh
- Dimensions – 18.5 x 14.1 x 2 cm
- Weight – 650 grams
The laptop ships with Windows 10 operation system, a power adapter, an international plug adapter, and a user manual. The webcam can apparently be used for zoom conference calls.
Topton L4 also supports an optional pen, but as noted by Liliputing, since the display cannot fold back 360 degrees for use in tablet mode, it might not be very convenient to use.
Topton L4 is sold on Aliexpress for as low as $299, but that’s for the odd 32GB SSD plus 8GB RAM configuration, so you may want to select an option with more storage capacity unless you plan on using your own SSD.
