How are you doing? Chris here with the
Jumper EZBook 3 Pro. So I've been
using this laptop now for a week and I
say it is one of the more decent ones
out there it's got this full metal build
so then lid as well the underside the
whole thing palm rest is all made out of
an alloy it comes in a silver or gold
color it's quite light - it's 1.4 kilos
which is not bad at all and only 13
millimeters thin so it has an Apollo
Lake N3450 which is the Celeron and 6
gigabytes of RAM so it's got 2 3
gigabytes samsung low powered chips in
there 64 gigabytes of internal storage
it runs Windows 10 has a 9600 million
power battery and this model that I have
that I got from Aliexpress from the
official jumper store has an m2 SATA 3
SSD bay now one from other retailers I
am not sure if it has that expand
ability or not so your best to check
with your seller so let's have a look at
this one in greater detail and find out
why I like it so much so it weighs only
one point four kilos and as you can see
it's quite soon I measured this part
here and it's 13 millimeters and the
overall design of it I really do like
its premium it's all made out of metal
and you can see on the lid here pressing
down quite hard there's a tiny little
bit of flex there but I don't believe
that the screen is going to be pushed in
and rub up against the keyboard and get
scratched which it can do on some
notebooks that have plastic lids on the
right side of a notebook you will find
the mini HDMI out so this outputs up to
4k 30 Hertz then a USB 3 port D/C in for
charging and a status LED now the
spacing of these ports isn't
particularly wonderful
I really wish they had spaced this out a
little more on the left you'll find the
3.5 minute a headphone jack supports
microphones another USB 3 port and a USB
2 spec micro SD card reader now because
of the spacing again on this side the
3.5 millimeter headphone jacks a little
too close to the USB port here I'll just
demonstrate quickly there I have a
pendrive and I can still use just
the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack there
but if I wanted to use something a
little larger which this is a micro SD
card USB 3 reader then it's not going to
work you can see here that oh I can't
use it so that's just a minor annoyance
so you're going to have to pull that out
or use the other USB 3 port on the other
side so when it lids closed there are a
couple of magnets in here that hold the
lid down and it latches in quite nicely
here you can see but you can't open it
with just one hand the hinge on it is
quite firm and this is the maximum the
screen will recline back it's not the
worst of seeing but it's certainly not
the best either but I find it good it
still reclines back further enough to be
able to use it comfortably on my lap
onto our keyboard here which is a huge
step up from the easy book to n is equal
to 3 it doesn't have all that bounce and
doesn't feel like a trampoline like
those older earlier models do I'm
pressing down quite hard here you can
see the keyboard is quite firm and it is
missing a Print Screen button which is
just a minor complaint I have the touch
pad is well sized it has a reasonable
amount of accuracy you can see I'm going
from one side of the screen to the other
without too much of a problem there and
I'd find that I don't have to resort to
using a mouse it has incorporated left
and right mouse buttons of course it
does support certain gestures but I
found that the most annoying gesture
that's swipe down
to minimize and maximize that seems to
be disabled which is good so while
screen is a 13.3 inch anti-glare matte
coated screen it's an IPS panel 1080p
and it has decent colors on it I found
that the calibration of it out of the
box is hitting towards the cooler size
to show you a couple of sample images
here the maximum brightness comes out to
be around 210 lux
so it's not the brightest screen however
I can forgive it the fact that it is
anti glare it still looks perfectly fine
in bright studio lighting which I have
on at the moment and the black seem to
be quite deep
overall a decent panel but it's not
quite as good as the chewy lap book
14-point ones panel the brightness can
be adjusted down as well to zero percent
which is very dull as you can see
they're so good for late use and that of
course will give you maximum battery
life I normally have the screen set to
about 50% for indoor use which I find to
be perfectly fine now a few users have
noticed that when you're on the lower
volume sorry I know how brightness
settings that there is a little bit of a
high-pitched noise that emanates from
this area here something to do with the
way the brightness is controlled there I
can confirm that if I put my ear up to
it I can hear a tiny little high-pitched
noise but to me this is a non-issue I
can't hear it at normal distance from it
so for me not a problem so it speakers
are located on the bottom so they're
firing down I don't particularly like
the location because if you're using
this on your lap as you would a laptop
then you block the speaker's you tend to
muffle them but they do sound quite
decent for this price range of laptop
so as you can hear from that sample
there there's even a tiny little bit of
bass coming from those speakers which we
normally never ever hear on these more
cheaper notebooks and tablets that I
commonly review it's not quite as loud
as I would like it though it's scraping
just around 78 decibels ideally I like
to see around 80 85 now on to some
benchmarks here so you can see the
screen looks a little bit bluish in turn
that's as I mentioned in the start there
that it's leaning towards a cool white
not a warm white I haven't touched that
you can tweak that with the Intel
settings so Wireless is the ultimate
weakness of this particular laptop
because other models they have lightest
AC and I can get almost 300 megabits per
second out of them this one here 55 as
you can see now the range thing is
really good we do have plastic right
down here with the antennas ah
and I haven't noticed any issues so
those speeds are actually quite good for
a real tech wireless end chipset here is
the gig bench full score Gleason score
this is the same really that I've seen
on other Apollo Lake in 34 50s you don't
really get a boost in benchmarks or
performance from the extra two gigabytes
of RAM you get a boost more I feel and
the Windows operating system feels a
little more fluid tiny little bit more
fluid and of course you can multitask
more and use more RAM intensive
applications there so moving back to
just a couple of other tests I have here
the emmc is a Toshiba and it's e MMC 5
spec this is the maximum sequential
reads there of 270 very decent the write
speeds are a little low here around 70
so not as fast as some of the other
drives I've seen from SanDisk but it's
still not bad at all now if you wanted
to of course increase your capacity and
speeds then you would insert an m2 SSD
which I have done here that's what I'm
running at the moment as the transcend
256 gigabyte Drive
so very good speeds out of that a lot
faster then that
e MMC
now moving over to battery life in
charge time so this is my test here that
Iran which is multitasking but only like
multitasking I was running edge most of
the time edge some YouTube listening to
music streaming 1080p some chrome use as
well and a little bit of Photoshop use
but very light it was only probably
about 20 minutes there so good battery
life 7 hours 39 minutes I feel that's
very decent this of course was sorry at
30 40 % brightness which isn't the
highest sitting now if you set the
brightness to 100% you're going to get
around 5 and a half hours if you game
you're going to get about 3 hours and if
you lower the brightness down even
further or you're just watching videos
were just using edge then you probably
going to get around 9 hours nine and a
half hours just video so very good now
charge times I managed to charge it
fully from 7 percent to 100 percent in
2014 minutes that was powered off when
you're having it powered on when you're
using it in charging it will take a lot
longer 3 hours and 33 minutes for that
now to talk about the performance of it
in general it does feel a little faster
than the 4 gigabyte RAM models this is
Chrome at the moment and I can scroll
here with two fingers and you can see
that that is very smooth I can even edit
articles and things in WordPress without
any problems without it just bogging
down and getting too slow like it did on
the old previous generation the Apolo
sorry the Cherry Trail chips the Atoms
the Atoms just couldn't really handle
Chrome I never recommended Chrome so
Chrome will still run 4k, terrible
it won't stream it well but an edge
just move over into edged now to show you
the same website again which is my website
of course that is a lot smoother
and edge to scrolling now in Chrome 4k
drops frames but in inch it doesn't edge
is still really nice and smooth and
overall the performance feels a lot
faster than the Apollo Lake tablets I
have looked at I've always found that's
the case when you've got a touchscreen
it seems to always be just a little bit
slower there now I just wanted to
point out to that a couple of videos
that they have the h.265 codec this is
one that is 4k 10 bit 140 megabits per
second this is a very tough codec to
play see a few stutters there initially
and later on it comes a little bit
smoother and while it's still doing a
couple of stutters then you can see now
it has smoothed out so that's a
demanding file this is being played via
the GPU hardware support now there were
a few comments in the unboxing video
will it run Photoshop and I guess it
will run Photoshop you can do basic
edits but I wouldn't get too carried
away trying to edit and manipulate and
do filters on 25 megabyte photos or
anything like that so basic things like
this that is I feel perfectly fine this
is just a couple of layers here there's
not really a lot going on that is fine
but when you do start to add as
mentioned those bigger images then
things will slow down but you can easily
move things around apply filters so for
minor tasks it's good now someone also
mentioned video editing I would not run
Premiere Pro on this chipset it's it you
can do minor 1080p edits I have tested
it out in the past the problem is the
more you start to add more files more
transitions the slower it starts to get
and then the overall export time is
painfully slow and not really good so
wouldn't recommend it I would do
something like a core i5 at least for
video editing so on to a little bit of
gaming this is a stall game this is
called a sh felt extreme and you can see
that it's got a little bit of slowdown
and some stutter it's running on the
default settings which i think is
optimal and 1080p of course so if you
wanted to increase the frame rate you
would have to drop down the screen
resolution or lower those settings
older title here this is half-life -
Lost Coast and you can see by setting CS
I'm going to run at 1080p let's see how
it handles it so Counter Strike global
Offensive here 800 x 600 resolution on
the lowest settings good framerate very
good so that extra 2 gigabytes of RAM I
believe is helping out there are quite a
few people on the server - so you can
hear that noise a lot that'll be me
dying all the time because I'm not
particularly good at these games dota 2
running 1024 by 768 resolution and not
very good as you can see it's around 14
13 frames per second so quite slow this
is on the lowest visual settings see
here so on the fastest settings if I
drop this down to 800 x 600 let's see if
this gives us a boost in the performance
not really you can see it's still around
13 down to 12 -11 frames per second so
really this is an ideal now the last
gaming in a test this is League of
Legends and unlike dota 2 this is
playing just fine over 40 frames per
second in 1080p on the very low settings
so I think it's safe to say that this
one is going to be playable but do bear
in mind that this is just the beginning
of a bot match onto thermals now which
are really good now here is the worst
case scenario I had it on for 5 hours
and it's been about two hours gaming and
a lot of that was just gaming Counter
Strike with BOTS and you can see that it
did reach 78 degrees now most cases when
you're not gaming the temperature
maximum temperatures about 63 degrees 65
it's really good if you see my unboxing
video there is a copper heatsink on
there so they've done a really good job
when it comes to thermals now it will
heat up and get a little bit warm just
in this area around here so above the
keyboard just this part around here it
warms up but it is nothing alarming it
doesn't
you it gets up to around 36 degrees the
longer your game the warm it will get
but then it reaches a plateau and it
just doesn't get any warmer there so
it's all fine really good thermals on
these eBook 3 Pro ok so overall this is
a very nice Apollo Late laptop it's got
the six gigabytes of RAM on there we
have the m2 slot to expand on that you
can put an SSD which is fast but the eMMC
in it that it does have is quite fast so
you're going to have to check with your
seller to make sure it's got that slot
if you want to put your own SSD in there
that is very important so build quality
really really good premium well done
good keyboard good trackpad it's not bad
at all and on the air results using a
mouse when I don't like them but I find
it yeah I can use this one which is
great so wireless AC is the big con here
doesn't have it that is a real problem
for me because I can't push my maximum
fiber-optic speeds that I've got through
this machine here so I'm going to have
to use a USB port there and give up on
one of the USB ports for a wireless AC
adapter which is a little bit of a pain
there now the other thing is some more
minor complaints is that the micro SD
card reader is only running and USB 2
speeds so it's not that fast at all it
maxes out as at 24 megabytes per second
and the USB ports on there
they should have spaced them out so the
DC jack and the USB 3 ports should have
been moved out a little bit more and the
DC check and the 3.5 mini headphone jack
apart from that I really like this
machine I think if you're going to buy
this if you can pick it up for a great
price that you should be very happy with
this particular Apollo lakid laptop
thanks a lot for watching this review
here and I do have to see you back in
the channel soon with more upcoming
reviews
