Jumper has been doing really well with their Ezbook 3 Pro line of budget
laptops they're now got the fourth version which I'll have to be reviewing
maybe next week which is just a revised model of the Apollo lake in 3450 that
started at all with a full metal build an IPS panel that's 1080p and six
gigabytes of RAM and really for the 210 price tag more or less that it has
you're getting phenomenal value really so we've gotten out the easy book 3 plus
which is their more premium model that unfortunately they've kind of ruined and
I'll talk about that later on this video but that's the screen it's a TN panel
and you can see the viewing angles are really quite horrendous but apart from
that we do have a nice thin metal build decent keyboard large touchpad it's got
wireless AC 8 gigabytes around the court m37 way 30 so a lot more power than the
typical Apollo Lakes that I've been reviewing in fact probably about double
the power this one right here if it just wasn't for that screen but anyway let's
check this one out here in greater detail and hopefully jumper will be
watching this video and decide that oh yeah we need to do something about that
TN panel let's put an IPS in it and call it the easy book 3 plus version 2 wait
for it I bet you're they're gonna do it now this is where things go wrong here
with the screen the screen choice that jumper went with is completely wrong
here so it's a TN panel when you look at it directly straight on the images look
good now maximum brightness comes out to be 300 lux pretty much spot-on 300 which
isn't too bad for an anti-glare matte-coated panel it is 1080p and as
you see from some of the images that it is definitely leaning towards a cooler
wipe the calibration but you can correct that with the Intel drivers there you
can tweak that and make it look more like a neutral white so overall that
isn't bad and when you have a look at the horizontal viewing angles they're
also fine this is a perfect example of why this TN panel sucks when you have a
look at the vertical viewing angles look at this guys here so you can
just make out at the top the outline of is here so the background image that is
all dark but when I go like that you can see okay we get a few more details there
but look at this you can hardly even make him out and this is the major deal
breaking issue with this particular laptop so even though the easy book 3
plus shares the same exact design I believe it the same OD M as the T book
for the keys are different they don't feel spongy and horrible with typos
because it's missing keystrokes all the time like on the t book before that I
reviewed no this one is a lot better they do feel very similar to the jumper
easy book 3 Pro these keys on the keyboard here now you see that the power
button is separate out into the corner here we have an extra row there for the
home page up and down in buttons shortcuts there for volume controls
screen brightness and everything is basically there including a shortcut to
disable the touchpad key travel on these keys I measured to be approximately 1.3
7 millimeters so that's not too bad and overall it's a decent keyboard because
I'm not getting any typos on it and I'm not getting missing keystrokes the
touchpad is also very decent it's nice and large it is a precision touchpad so
you can customize gestures accuracy seems to be quite good you can even set
up options like when you plug in an external mouse that it will
automatically disable itself the size of it here I'll show you just very quickly
is around about a hundred millimeters 105 and length and then approximately 75
the height there so quite large for these cheaper more budget orientated
laptops I've been reviewing so the weight of the easy about 3 plus is just
under 1.4 kilos and it is quite slim this design as you can see it's around
about 14 millimeters that's not including the rubber feet there and the
top is made out of alloy there is a logo that is stuck on here to jump a logo but
it's actually just a sticker so if you get yourself like a pin or something you
go along you can lift it off and remove that whole logo if you don't like it
there the bottom of it is also made out of an alloy and there is a SSD hatch on
here so quick easy replacement of the included SSD
which is a 4c 120 gigabyte one now it is a 22 by 40 to a millimeter size one
unfortunately you can't even put the 22 by 60 and you will definitely not be
able to fit the 22 by 80 in here so 4 ports on the right side microSD card
slot full-sized USB 3 port now it will power external hard drives then we have
a headphone jack with microphone support the audio quality seems to be really
good I don't have any static over this which is great and then DC and for
charging and just to point out that the lid very little flex on that I am
pressing down here quite hard then on the left side status LED micro HDMI out
another full-size USB 3 port again it will power external hard drives and then
up the top we have dual raid microphones and a 2 megapixel webcam worth pretty
mediocre quality it's nothing amazing so the laptop runs
Windows 10 home it fully activates is no problem with the license on this and
it's powered by air core m37 wife 30 now this has 8 gigabytes of RAM which is
good to see we're not limited to the typical 4 we have been seeing on these
kind of base models so the RAM speed is 1866 megahertz and over the device
managers point out a couple of things so the drive in here that I have added I've
changed the default 4 C Drive just wanted to put my own one in there
because I've got more space to install games and test things out but these are
the speeds here of my own Drive so it is running full set of 3 speeds this port
now what you'll get with the 4 C one is around 500 reads but only about a
hundred and ninety writes it is slow if you've seen in my unboxing video because
it's the smaller size drive only 128 gigabytes there now the wireless adapter
is Intel dual band wireless AC 3165 very typical one and the performance is good
I haven't had the issues that other people have been complaining about that
it does connecting or causing problems with their wireless routers no issues on
both the one of my home the router in my old office and now and the new setup
here that I'm at no problems with that I will show you this speeds as you can see
right here are you expect download speeds to be faster than this
but for some reason I cannot get around the upload speed so I should be able to
get around 250 megabits per second through this like other devices but it
seems to cap out about 180 170 on the download for some reason could be down
to the antenna placement or the design of that I'm really not too sure but I
real mean the speeds are good but I did expect better there so one other
benchmark here the typical one they always test out as Geekbench 4 and those
scores are ok but not the fastest I have seen for this particular chipset here is
the open CL score as well for those interested you can compare that to your
own laptop or perhaps you've got the older 6 Y 30 you can see the
improvements they have made here from the previous generation now the GPU that
it runs as the Intel integrated HD 6 1 5 now that has native decoding support for
vp9 codecs and HEV C this is a Timbit file 4k 140 megabits per second so it's
quite a demanding one but you can see that it plays this back flawlessly now
to skip ahead seeking ahead there does take a little bit of time but it doesn't
drop any frames it is very smooth so no trouble playing that same goes for
streaming 4k video in chrome here it's only dropped 2 frames out of the almost
700 now that it's playing in 4k and really this does work flawlessly even
here in the room which has quite a bit away from the wireless router and has to
pass through two walls it's working as you can see perfectly fine here oh it's
dropped 9 frames now out of a thousand so not bad now because we do have 8
gigabytes of RAM on this system and not the typical 4 it does aid in
multitasking so it allows us to do a little bit more a bit faster so I have
4k running there in the background I have Photoshop open here and I'm just
gonna move a couple of these layers around that should still be relatively
fast it's not too bad now Photoshop I find that yet with the major
edits you will run into slowdown so if you've got hundreds of layers or
something like that then don't expect that kind of performance you really need
something like a core i5 for that and the same goes with video editing you can
do some like video editing on the corium trees but only 1080p if you try to do
for Kate just bogs down and becomes impossible you really need an i7 I feel
for that and I do have League of Legends they're running too but that hasn't gone
into the whole game there speaking of gameplay let's test this out
now and see how it performs so League of Legends here 1080p on the very low
setting getting over 100 frames per second so it's about twice the speed of
the intel celeron in 3450 the common chipset that i have been reviewing
lately and most of these laptops so it is very playable in fact I can probably
tweak that slider right up to I would say high and still get playable frame
rates here let's have a look how it handles it yeah I mean we're still
around 80 frames per second on high and it does look really nice but it's
dropped down to 60 but it's still very playable here and then dota 2 this is a
bot match here 1080p on the faster settings hovering around the lower 70
frames per second mark so again this one also perfectly playable here these
lighter titles they run just fine and even counter-strike running tane DP is
getting well scraping over 30 frames per second so just playable now of course if
you lower the resolution down which I'll do now it will increase the framerate so
it's given us a slight little boost in the framerate 720p
oh-ho and I still can't aim
so what about a more demanding game like project cars here you can see is barely
playable 20 frames per second isn't really ideal now if you do download and
install entails Xtreme tuning utility you can tweak up the power limits on
this CPU and really boost the framerate however that will generate a lot more
heat and you will probably run into thermal throttling so what about
external temperatures well I've noticed that it does get quite warm right here
on the back and that's where the CPU is located and the heatsink so at the
moment it's hovering around 44 degrees the hottest I've seen it get up to is
approximately 47 so it does get quite warm to the touch on the bottom about 38
degrees palm rest is not bad at all 25 so the palm rest keeps cool around the
keyboard area lower 30s and then after 30 minutes of gaming the maximum
temperature was 78 degrees which is not bad for a passively cooled fanless
laptop with their core m7y 30 now when it comes to better life the current
example I have here is 80% brightness that I have been running I've been
playing games of being benchmarking it and everything like that you're looking
towards three and a half to four hours battery only that's when you're doing
things that are really taxing that CPU now light use like internet browsing
just watching movies and things like that you can get around six and a half
hours on this I managed to get six hours and ten minutes before it powered off
but I didn't have enough time to actually take a screenshot of that but
it's on par with other corium devices that I have tested out from China so the
battery life is not wonderful you won't make it through a full day you have to
take the charger with you unfortunately and speaking of charging times it takes
approximately two hours and 45 minutes to fully charge went off now
if you're paying attention to the beginning of the video when I showed you
the underside of this laptop you would have noticed the speaker grills that
were missing that is because the sound actually comes out along the top here
now they're not wonderful sounding speakers I will give you a sample of
them now they do vibrate it 100% and they're pretty flat and I really do wish
they were just a little bit louder than what they are so what a pity they
decided to go with a TN panel in this I do believe that jumper will see the
error of their ways once they probably see the sales and go
well what's going on they'll probably swap over to an IPS panel and then I
wouldn't have any problems recommending this that is not a bad no but got that
large touchpad the keyboard is actually fairly decent now there is another
corner part from that screen the TN panel of course being really bad with
the vertical viewing angles that it does get quite hot and the battery life isn't
particularly wonderful I mean you've got a maximum of around six and a half to
seven hours if you're really taking it easy on the battery there and if you do
something demanding like if you're editing a 1080p video if you're
multitasking a lot you have about 10 tabs open in Chrome then you can only
expect around four to four and a half hours which isn't really a lot but it's
kind of on par with other notebooks that I've been reviewing and looking at
recently the least the corium three ones so the overall build is decent the
front-facing video camera well it's not wonderful the microphones on them they
do tend to pick up and sound a little bit muffled a bit of static on them the
speakers as well aren't particularly great but overall they're not too bad it
is a decent package if it just wasn't for that screen in there if they could
fix the screen perhaps improve the thermals a little or put a larger copper
heat sink in there and increase the speaker output then you have yourself a
very decent notebook I feel so look out and wait for the easy book three-plus
don't get this right now wait for that hopefully revised
version that I'm pretty sure they're gonna bring out thank you so much for
watching this of you and I do hope to catch you back in the channel soon bye
for now
