so I've had a lot of questions in regards to this here which is the Tec-
last f7 Pro so a couple of days ago I posted the unboxing video and I've been
using it now for two days and I'll just give you some feedback on that because
I've been getting so many questions about this people asking me about the
screen protector on the display the battery life the thermals how it is
should they get it instead of the jumper Easy Book Pro I'll try and cover that
here before my full review which will be coming out next week but this is just
for you guys that keep really asking it all the time about questions getting so
many messages police do not message me on the forum by the way asking me any
questions about this I will not answer you because I'm just overloaded at the
moment so a lot of you have been asking me about the display just how it is is
it better than the jumper easy book freeze display well on camera you can
see it's getting this shimmer that's flickering that's happening I can't seem
to record this screen properly without that happening so it's not happening in
person so you don't need to worry about that now to those guys keep saying
remove the screen protector on it I believe well according to some in the
comments that that does actually have a pre applied screen protector the trouble
is on my unit I have been searching and there are no visible edges of a screen
protector like nothing around here nothing in all the corners it could be
the fact that it's under this plastic bezel in order to get it off I'm have to
pull up this bezel and I could risk damaging it then now I tried a knife in
this corner here and even then even using some tape on the screen on the
corners I could not pull a screen protector off it so I cannot 100%
confirm if it does have a screen protector on it but the layer that I did
pull off it that was numbered number two and normally that's the first layer you
take off and then the screen pick is on there so it could well have a matte
screen under this which is really good good news because I prefer to have an
anti-glare screen so to those asking about the microphones either side yes
they actually do sound a little bit better than the jumpers and they still
have some static over them and the camera more or less is about the same so
720p 30 frames per second performance but I'll give you a sample of that in my
full review coming out next week and to that guy Hassan I think's name was
asking about Counter Strike wallet play with the bots on 720p yes the bots are
said to easy mode but you can see the frame rates
going to dip at the moment it's around three frames per second when you start
out here and depending on what you're actually doing the frame rate will dip
down so at the moment it gets down to about 24 frames per second so it can be
a little bit study stuttery and choppy but if you disable the parliament's and
the bios then at least it will be playable here so you can practice
counter strike on the go there and they've been quite a few questions about
thermals on this do we have to do a copper heatsink mod on this well we
don't actually now I have disabled the power limit now the factory set limit in
there is nine watts which is quite a lot I think jumper set seven and other
manufacturers in fact only set about six watts now I've completely removed it so
no limit and thermals are some of the best I have seen okay we get up to about
74 is their highest I've actually seen it get now it will get warm to the touch
but here after 22 minutes this was counter strike against the bots and it's
only got up to 64 degrees now other laptops wear the same chipset the end
3450 would be reaching now without any power limits right up into the 80s so I
will investigate in the final full review next week I'll take a look at the
internals but I do believe they have put a very nice large copper heatsink on
there and a thermal pad probably transferring heat to the rear so we'll
get warm to the touch around about 35 degrees or something like that but it's
not an issue a problem at all so excellent thermals on this unit you do
not need to worry about that now battery life is a very common question I've been
able to get here you can see this is my test actually with YouTube so this is
two hours of streaming 1080p YouTube with the screen brightness at 30% which
is still good for indoors and I managed to get two hours so it looks like it's
gonna be about the same as the jumper easy book 3 Pro but it's not actually
it's probably about an hour less in total now one of my other tests here
which is there's my final score this was my first cycle of the battery I managed
to get almost eight hours which is really good but recent better life tests
I'm only able to get about six and that was what I would call more mixed use
this was light use here mixed use I got at the moment well I'll have a look at
the battery me toad assume into that for you so you can see here that it's been
on for 3 hours and 41 minutes and that was since 100% so it's looking about I
would estimate now while it's estimating 7 hours and 33 minutes but really it's
probably about 6 to 7 so most people will get around 6 hours 6 and a half
depending on how heavy you're using it bear in mind as well that I do have the
power limit disabled so the power limits probably the reason why we're not
getting the same battery life as the jumper easy book 3 pro because that has
a limit set to 7 watts if you disable it or you put it to 9 watts then that does
give you more power but of course reduce battery life now it also charges quicker
than a jumper easy book 3 pro it has a maximum charge rate of 14 watts or
almost 15 watts and you see here the easy book 3 pro charging this one now it
tops out at eleven point four watt so we get quite a few extra watts there so
that's why it charges a little bit faster but I'll give you the results of
that in the final review next week and here it is side by side with my easy
book 3 pro so you can see the tint on the easy book 3 Pro that bluish tint on
the whites and more of a neutral white on the f7 now the f7 I've got the screen
set to 100% brightness so that's why it looks washed out on camera it's really
trying to get rid of that flicker that it's being picked up so I'll show you
what happens when I drop down the screen brightness you can see you get a lot of
that pulse width modulation flicker that you only see on camera now we're looking
at the keyboards here as I mentioned when I first unbox at my first
impressions where the keyboard is better than the jumper easy book three pros and
yes it is definitely they have very similar keyboards the treble is similar
as well but this just feels better the feedback you get from these keys is over
all nicer and I haven't had any typos someone else asked about that does it
have any missed keystrokes no none whatsoever but I don't have any problems
with my jumper easy book three pros keyboard either because this is the
version 4 which has I feel the best keyboard on it later revisions some of
them did have issue some people posted in my forum they said that their
keyboard they're getting lag on it no no issues with that and another question
that also arised was SSDs will it take 512 yes my king spec 512 SSD will work
in the f7 it also works at my jumper easy book 3 pro and a 256 gigabyte model
that from transcends that I've got in here currently that is also working so
no issues running SSDs on the f7 now obviously a 219 us laptop is going to
have some cons on and so it's not all perfect with this notebook neither of
these now the con so far that I have encountered in two days of use with the
f7 is the fact that the speakers when it's fully charged at 100% it meant a
tiny little bit of static but as soon as you unplug it there's no more static an
occasion you do get a pop noise comes through the speakers when no sound has
been played for a while and suddenly you get a Windows notification noise it will
do like a pop and then you hit a notification noise so there's a minor
little con here and as I mentioned with the dual array microphones at the top
that there is also a tiny little bit of static that comes through but overall
they pick up sound better than the easier book 3 Pro the screen also has a
little bit of what I would call IPS glow around the top and the edges you only
see it really with the same color being displayed or white so you get a tiny bit
of that glow and that light bleed but really it's quite minor overall the
screen is better than the one that is in the easy book 3 Pro now this panel
someone asked for the idea of it I looked it up it's a sharp panel that
it's using so a proper non-brand 14 point 1 inch IPS panel that's in this
okay so yes after 2 days it's very clear to me that this is a more of an enhanced
version over the easy books free pro not that the easy book 3 Pro is a bad laptop
it is last year's best budget laptop and this one just slightly improves on
literally most areas a bit of keyboard bit a touchpad it's slightly lighter we
have a slightly better screen the webcam the mics on it seem to be a little bit
better to me the location of them at least is much better for picking
sound and then of course we have a faster charge time and we have better
thermals higher power limit unlocked bias you know the list does go on a
little bit there so the only real setback maybe it's the battery life to
me it looks like it's gonna be about an hour less now my jumper is he booked
three pro I can get eight hours out of it and it looks like it's as I mentioned
before like six to seven on this particular model and I believe it's
because of that higher power limit so if you're worried about that if you sit it
down to six watts restricting their performance a little then you should be
able to get eight hours in fact I've been able to get eight hours on my light
whip test just using edge so there we go guys hopefully this video was helpful
and useful to you I do hope to catch you back with my
final opinion which will be in the final review here of tech lasts f7 coming up
next week
