Chris here back again with the Jumper EZBook 3 Pro now this is just a
feature very briefly because this model here in 2017 turned out to be the best
budget laptop so even though it's just got relatively low specs the Apollo Lake
in thirty four fifty but it offered six gigabytes of RAM expandable storage full
metal body quite a nice weight this weighs only about 1.4 kilos and a 1080p
IPS panel so a lot on offer for 219 us and it hasn't been beaten yet until this
has come along though this has tick lasts f7 now this could possibly de
thrown this model right here because what it offers is very similar so the
same processor and spec however it's got an IPS panel it's 14 inches a larger
touchpad and it is basically really the same model that the jumper is e-book 3l
pro is now the 3l pro is like this but instead of the thirteen point three
inches it's 14 inches but it had a TN panel in it so the TN panel put me off
and I never reviewed it on the channel but now we have this here with the same
odm but in tech lasts hands so with their branding on it and they'll
probably pick the components themselves and tweaked in ferrets so let's get a
son boxed and hopefully maybe this could possibly be the best budget laptop
around for 219 us so the Box looks exactly the same as the f6 probably
recently reviewed that core m3 tablet with 8 gigabytes of RAM it's well
packaged up in here I can see and get this out of the box so actually that
feels quite light not a bad wait - we'll have a look and see what else we get in
the box so this comes up and right here we have
will be a warranty card structuring manual now that looks to be in Chinese
yes it is so get that out of the way and here we have the charger so the charger
it's great to see has a you plug and it's rated to 12 volts to a
so take a look at the weight first because it does feel reasonably light so
1.3 2 kilos that's slightly lighter than the jumper easy book 3 pro that weighs
1.3 8 kilos almost 1.4 and comes in at 14 point 1 millimeters so that's very
thin for a 14 inch laptop on the rear that's 4 rubber feet now notice that
there is no intake grilles here because there's no fan this is passively cooled
and great because you don't have any fan noise to worry about whatsoever an
easy-access SSD hatch so if you weren't happy with
the 64 gigabytes of storage we have on the EMM see you can put up to 512
gigabytes but bear in mind it must be the 22 by 42 size my 20 to 60 will not
fit and definitely not the more larger and standard more common sized 20 to 80
m to SATA 3 SSD and the lid is logo free pressing down hard on that this seems to
only be a tiny little bit of flex but overall feels quite solid on the
left-hand side we've got a status LED micro HDMI out and a USB 3 port on the
right dcn 3.5 millimeter headphone jack with mic support USB 3 port and then a
micro SD card reader now this card reader will be wired up USB 2 so don't
expect fast speeds from this now along the back here there is some plastic use
now that's for the wireless antenna reception and bluto so this part along
here that is just a little bit of plastic otherwise the rest of it all
made out of metal and the book quality is excellent ok so have a look and see
if I can open that up one-handed now that's simply not possible because the
hinge is just too firm so henge feels good nice and stiff there doesn't seem
to be that much flex at all that's quite firm too so that's good the lid seems
quite strong and I can see they've got a pre applied screen protector but let's
take a look at the touch pad first there so this touch pad is nice and large as
expected like the easy book three pluses now it should be a precision touchpad
but I'll confirm that once I boot that up and get into it the keyboard actually
dad actually feels quite good though it feels better that's a step up from the
jumper easy book 3 Pro there definitely nice travel good kind of feel to them
and pressing down on that that's firm too so really good another positive here
we've got the separate row there for our page up and down home and end keys and
the power button here so those people that accidentally hit the power button
when they go to hit delete might not have that issue with this one because
we've got the delete where it really should be and the power button I would
still like to see that power button up here though away from the keyboard but
anyway that's my own personal preference we do have a dedicated button for print
screen as well pause and break this and overall looking like a good spaced out
keyboard of course with the 14 inches now they've got a little bit more space
to play with and they're also three status LEDs here so that's four caps
lock scroll lock and then you power on so the front-facing webcams 2 megapixels
we have two jewelry microphones there which is a good move now I do like the
mics placed here and not above the keyboard that you see in other models
because you tend to get a lot of feedback a lot more anyway from the
noise of the keyboard when you're typing at least hear they'll cut down on it a
little bit so the screen looks like it's a glossy one but that's because it put
the screen protector on here now I feel it's just probably full transit while
they've done this if I pull this off in fact it looks like underneath that it
still is actually a glossy display there to show you that there are these little
rubber feet here on the lid so that should stop hopefully the outer frame of
the lid scratching up the bottom there with that rubber ok so just lift into
the bias straight away here because I wanted to confirm have they locked us
out of the bias like easy book 3 Pro newer versions have the jumper decided
to lock us out of this but teclast have done the wise thing and now they've
lifted all open to us so we can go into the CPU configuration power management
and this is what we want we can go and set a power limit now by default they've
actually set nine which is reasonably high so it must have a nice copper
heatsink on there or this is why they have not set that to something like 6
which you would find sort of a normal kind of value in there now the screen
you can see it flickering this is only on camera in the bias some sort of pulse
width modulation flicker that it's coming through
camera but looking at it here I can't see it at all now the other thing to
note too that IPS panel yes it's not doing that color shift thing now you see
that changed a little bit there but that's normal got some reflection there
with a glossy display so a little disappointing that it's glossy I would
have preferred to have a matte screen on a laptop like this but I guess for a
change it's nicer to have glossy free available space we have on C Drive 37.6
gigabytes not a lot so you probably want to use an SSD I highly recommend going
with one on these Apollo lakes that support it because it will just speed
things up quite a little bit there was just tends to increase the performance
more than what you get from in emmc so this has a SanDisk emmc on here it's 5.1
spec and these speeds are very good they're decent for Caze could be a
little better but it will vary of course from unit to unit there the RAM we've
got six gigabytes 5.8 is available to us and the speed 1600 megahertz is also
good dual channel so everything here is checking out what also checks out as the
touchpad so it's running precision drivers so we've got full control of
gestures and so far my time using it it feels pretty good I mean I've just come
from using the mean notebook ear 13 that touch pads a lot better but that's a
premium laptop but this one hey it's not bad and so far definitely quite usable
and really accurate as well so no issues I like the larger size with the touchpad
to that we've got on there one other thing to point out too is we
do have the Intel wireless AC 3165 chips it onboard and we do have bluetooth too
and you can see there the SanDisk DF 40 64 is the model if you wanted to look
that up there the processor quad-core maximum turbo of 2.2 gigahertz now
looking at the screen a little bit so it's hard for me to recreate what it
looks like in person I'm looking at because it's a flickering mess on camera
I've had to put the brightness up to 100% to try and remove some of that
pulse-width modulation flicker but I can't see any of it and it's actually
quite a nice glossy IPS panel they have on here not bad at all that blacks do
look deep in fact they look deeper than the ones on the jumper easy about three
screen because that screen of course being matte you don't get that same
effect with the blacks being as deep and the other thing too with that screen
it's very cool wipe the calibration this to me looks more neutral white because
it's quite a blue tint you get out of the box on the easy book three pro but
you can tweak and correct that using the Intel drivers but so far
nice screen especially for this price range for two hundred and nineteen us if
you have a keen eye you would have noticed
where are the speakers I didn't see any speaker grilles on the bottom so they're
not down with firing speakers they in fact blast out along here so there's
just a couple of little squeeze you see like two cutouts here and another two
here so it looks like would at least have dual speakers and from there it's
going to fire out the sound now they're a little bit louder than the jumper easy
book three pros which is good but like that one they're quite flat sounding so
there's still are cheap speakers but I'll give you a sample of them now
so lots of treble very little bass and a bit of meds in there so I've just
powered up Linux from a USB pendrive just make sure that when you burn the
image to a USB pendrive use Rufus and burn it in the DD image mode and then it
worked just fine for me now what isn't working is the touchpad
that doesn't seem to work so you have to hunt around and find drivers I'm
connected up to the Internet brightness controls work for the screen
the volume also works on I just wanted to comment on the speaker volume that in
Linux it's about twice as loud as Windows well not quite but it's a lot
louder and you really notice it ok so it's looking like a case of step aside
jumper easy book 3 Pro you're no longer the king anymore it's looking very very
promising and deed for tech last f7 in fact I'm struggling to find coms on this
now being picky the speakers they sound flat they're not premium especially if I
was to put that side-by-side with my show me me notebook ear 13 then you
notice a massive difference because they've got a ke G tune speakers and
these ones aren't but good to see that they're firing out just above the
keyboard not down like on the jumper easy book 3 pro now the screen is
probably the only con so far that I have found because I've only had an afternoon
using this just remember that this is a first impressions unboxing a first
impressions video so the glossy display is not going to be for everyone
personally I don't like glossy displays that much on these kind of laptops I
would prefer to have a matte screen but the screen in it does have a quick fix
because if it's glossy then what you need to do is apply a matte screen
protector and I've done this many times before and it actually works quite well
now this screen on the jumper is eBook 3 Pro out of the box it does have quite a
blue tint to it now this one on the other hand is neutral leaning towards
more of a warm white so you don't need to tweak it as much maybe as this one
now the touchpad is a huge improvement over this because it's just a lot larger
you've got about an extra twenty thirty percent more touchpad space on there to
use and it's precision in overall using it it's quite accurate it's smooth the
surface this one's not as smooth the keyboard as well as an improvement
the typing experience now I have the version for keyboard some of the
keyboards apparently on the newer jumper easier book three pros did have some
issues with most keystrokes and things but I don't have that issue on mine
mine's the version for one of the good ones before the version five and six
started to have a few issues there jumper for example they lock people out
of the bias so we don't have the Advanced Settings menu but there's some
guys on my forum who are actually working to fix that and I believe they
have right now they'll be able to flash unlock biases on this model but anyway
the tick lasts out of the box has an unlock bias it has a 9 watt power limit
which is a lot higher than we originally first saw when these models came out
they would normally set it to only a 6 there I think it's four point five or
six four point five being the the stock one and then six being the maximum short
boost power there so I roll the build quality is good it's light slightly
lighter than the jumper easy book three Pro we've got the of course the
expandable SSD slot on the bottom there so if 64 gigabytes the 37 that it has on
there is not enough for you then of course go with an SSC it's as dean like
I said in the video I highly recommend going with an SSD because it does boost
the performance and give you plenty more in terms of storage there and you can
always use that drive that's in there the EMC as a another drive there for
storing your files on and things like that so overall looking really promising
teclast have turned things around because they started out 2017 not really
that strong I thought that some of the items I looked at weren't that great but
then came along the tech last master the t8 the t10 and that really started
turning things around and now of course they've entered the laptop market and
this one's a real winner so looking forward to doing the full review on this
one I'm gonna use it now for about a week come back and if I find any cons
but so far I mean it's looking very positive if I was going to be looking at
both of these models now without a doubt I would go now for the tech last f7 if
you can pick it up for that to 9 to 19 price that it is currently selling for
at the time of this video now of course later on hopefully tech lasts in about 2
or 3 months will probably maybe mid year they'll be
updating this with the jiminy lake so that's an improved CPU that's the
successor to the apolar lake but we still haven't seen any of those laptops
out yet so it's gonna be a while anyway enough rambling on from me thank you so
much for watching this video and I do hope to catch you back with the full
review of tick blasts f7 looking very promising and if you haven't already
