Dave Jones of EEVblog tears down an Esinomed Infoview medical tablet computer built around an 800MHz AMD Geode board, exposing extremely shoddy construction and design.

HN calls it a famous, hilarious teardown and a go-to example of terrible hardware quality.

Thanks for the recommendation, I look forward to checking out MikesElectricStuff. I have seen a lot of EEVblog videos, but only a small fraction of his output, prolific guy. I definitely agree, too much grousing at times. Though he did seem to be appropriately outraged in the first one I watched (#822, about a terrible medical tablet PC): ▶ this video

When he first opened it, I thought it looks like the sort of thing I'd knock together - not pretty, probably mildly unstable, but gets the job done. Then he took a closer look, and it's the sort of thing that wouldn't even be acceptable as a secondary school project, never mind a device to be sold.

This is absolutely brilliant. That is, the teardown - the tablet itself is an abomination. Thanks for posting this. This channel is great and seems to have a lot of educational content besides teardowns too.

Big Clive is _the_ channel for teardowns of everyday electronic stuff. I am actually not that interested in this kind of stuff but somehow I still watch most of his videos. If you are into more... entertaining teardowns you should have a look at AvE. Even if you don't like it you will still learn some useful canadian terms ;) (edit: just to make it clear, AvE is actually very knowledgable. His "boltr" teardown series of electronic power tools is most likely the most thorough you will find on the internet) My third goto channel for electronic stuff is EEVBlog who also does amazing stuff. If you are going to watch one teardown today then please watch his rather famous video about the worlds worst tablet computer: ▶ this video
