so I'm back here now with Jumper's EZBook 3 Pro but this time around it's
the fourth revision so version number four and they keep improving on us so
all the revisions they've made minor little tweaks and changes this time
around we have a new touch pad it's a precision one there's now a little tiny
hatch on the bottom to easily install and upgrade and add your own SSD it has
to be twenty-two by forty to spec so it should just be the one or two screws on
there you don't have to remove the whole rear case like you did with the previous
models and there's also been a change in the BIOS they have allowed us to now
disable those power limits so there's no need to do the hack if you do have a
previous model then of course you can just do that software hack but every
time you reboot the system you need to reapply it and what it basically allows
us to do is exceed the standard TDP they have on there the power limits so doing
so increases performance it allows the GPU to clock a little bit higher it can
hold the turbos a bit longer so it should be the fastest and best version
yet of the jumper EZBook 3 Pro which is basically the best of the
apolar Lake notebooks that I have reviewed no one seems to be able to come
close to this one in terms of the keyboard than full metal build and the
IPS panel has in here so let's check it out and have a look at those changes so
thanks to some of the guys on my website that pointed out that when they ordered
from gearbest that they started to ship this new revision otherwise it wouldn't
really be aware of this one so pick this one up here from our own personal use I
sold my version 3-1 in order to get this because I want them more improved better
model here with the better touchpad and that power limit disabled so the box
looks exactly the same as the previous versions I can't see anything marking
here that is in fact the version four and the specs you probably know them so
it's got six gigabytes of RAM that it's actually in dual channel to three
gigabyte chips they're samsung ones 64 gigabyte eat MMC I think it's a Samsung
but I'll take a look at that and of course it's powered by the Apollo rake
in 34 50 and it has a 1080p 13.3 inch IPS screen so no changes to the power
supply here twelve volts three amps the cord on it is not
particularly long now you can of course saucer replacement all you need is a tip
like this so positive in the middle negative on the outside and it's three
millimeters so the first change with the version four is this right here it's a
tiny little access hatch to install an SSD so if you want to speed things up
and increase the capacity get something like this this is a transcend 256
gigabyte so it's 22 millimeters by 42 millimeters in length and we need to do
is remove one screw here another screw inside will be in there of course fit
that in and then in the bias you need to go and change that over the boot order
so it actually runs off the SSD now if you're a bit of a modder
and you want to actually install a full size 20 to 60 or 20 to 80 then you need
to remove all these screws around the outside break the plastic that's around
here it's got like a plastic frame around in there and you can install the
larger SSDs so jumper made some changes to the BIOS and that is that we can now
go along and disable that power limit on there so under the CPU settings go along
to CPU power management and you'll find along here that it says Parliament 1
enabled if you go along and set this now to disabled this will in turn disable
all of the power limits the CPU will use as much power as it wants it will
shorten battery life now there is a good copper heatsink on this laptop so
thermals it shouldn't reach them or throttling it level but it will get
hotter than by leaving that on default so if you're not happy with that
and the stock performance is fine for you then I recommend it's not touching
this at all and leaving it alone now previous models like the version 3
you could tweak the emmc but here you can on this model they've used a
different grade of MMC I think it's no longer a MMC 5 spec so before what you
do is go into the chipset the SCC setting and you change this setting to
high-speed 400 but I'm just gonna leave it as stock there because when I put it
on to 400 it gave me a blue screen so at least on this one or my batch it's not
gonna work one minor change here as well as they do
have the latest Windows 10 image on here so we've got English Spanish
Russian and Chinese as the initial languages on this Windows 10 home okay
so we through all the windows setup of course I just wanted to show you a
couple of things so there is a bit of a con here that the MMC is very poor here
this is a generic in card in my experience that'll be either a for C or
B win one I won't know until I actually take the whole back office and
physically look at it but they don't tend to be very fast at all so this has
come at the cost of the improvements having that precision touchpad which you
can see here it's definitely a precision touchpad you can control those gestures
I've been using it now just a little bit and it is so much better than the
original one we used to have that was just a standard one and quite a average
poor touchpad on that so Windows when you first get it installed and while
setup we have forty five point six gigabytes free there and I'm just
benchmarking now the drive here to see how fast it is and it's not looking very
fast at all but so far I haven't really noticed any slowdown getting around
Windows because of this Drive so a few uses in my form have also pointed out
that there is this application here that's within that Windows 10 image me
ming-ming wind clients it doesn't look good at all
like some sort of backdoor or trojan but virus scans sulphides come up clean I
think it's got something to do with this Chinese app on here I don't know what it
is anyone read Chinese well there'll be a few of you out there please let me
know what this actually says and now that emmc benchmark is just finishing up
you can see not very fast at all it's MMC four point five point one spec and I
highly recommend going with one of these an SSD that really opens and speed
things up not only does it give you more storage of course just applications load
up faster boot times slightly faster as well and overall it just feels a little
bit quicker I have also noticed that the texture of the touchpad now is a little
bit rougher here so it's got more of a matte coating to the other one was a
little bit smoother shinier that probably helps too but overall so
far using this touchpad really impressed with it it's definitely so much better
than the original one there used and just double checking here with HW info
that yes the power limits were disabled you can see along here it says power
unlimited time unlimited so it will turbo for as long as it wants and use as
much power as it needs okay so there we go that's the jumper easy book 3 Pro the
version number 4 or the revision number 4 that they've done on this so that kept
tweaking and improving it and it really is an amazing laptop for the price
considering what you're getting at IPS panel really good battery life you get
about 8 hours out of this now the Apollo Lake is not a powerhouse of a chipset
but with that power limit disabled it performs a lot better than other
notebooks out there that do not let us tweet that seating at all the improved
touchpad is a welcome change and in fact they're most welcome to change their on
that is the best thing they've done is get rid of that kind of crappy touchpad
they had on the previous one so a huge improvement there now other things of
course like that easy access slot just means getting an
SSD and there's a little bit easier a little bit faster and as I mentioned I
have done a full review of this laptop but that was the first model that was
released so this is even better now but make sure you check that out if you
haven't really for the 220 or so us this is selling for you cannot get any better
and trust me I've tested now probably about six or seven of these Apollo Lake
laptops and this one tops all of them and if they continue with this kind of
trend hopefully the new Gemini Lake laptop that's going to be coming out
next year probably by then that's the successor to the Apollo Lake will be
something really good and hopefully also around this price range thanks for
watching this unboxing and just preview really of the changes that they've made
on the EZBook 3 Pro
