So Ihave with me today the easy
book three Pro this is an Apollo Lake
Celeron N3450 powered notebook
thirteen point three inches full metal
housing on it and had six gigabytes of
RAM 64 gigabytes of internal storage a
9600 mAh battery and depending
on which batch you get it will support
expanding the storage via a SATA 3 m2
slot so I have my unboxing knife here
let's check this one out so it's double
box here I can see it's a hopefully
going to be well protected got it via
DHL and this one from Aliexpress so just
like their other notebooks there's
little box at the top will contain our
power supply and I can see that it's a
us-style there they don't have an EU one
because you've given me an adapter so
this is rated to 12 volts 3 amps ok so I
can given me those stickers for the
keyboard because I live in Spain they
probably just assume that I want the
Spanish keyboard so if you are ordering
one of these and you are from the Russia
or Spain and whatever the seller I think
they can just throw this in for you but
make sure you check and ask them so
there is a quick user manual here which
is in Chinese and English on the other
side so that is good a little quality
control sticker or should I say a little
card there that means someone's expected
the notebook and made sure that it has
no errors no faults ok so they actually
feels quite premium so the weight of it
is 1.3 9 kilos so 1.4 which isn't too
bad considering it's all made out of
metal so it looks really nice and slim
as you can see just going to measure
this quickly
just a rough estimate there around 13
millimeters so not too bad that's
without the rubber feet if I include
those rubber feet there then it comes up
to sixteen point three so looking at the
design here just the lid feels very
solid there's really no flicks and that
no really really solid so on the right
hand side here we've got a mini HDMI out
full-size USB three DCM for charging and
next to that what looks to be a status
LED left-hand side 3.5 millimeter
headphone jack which should support
microphones USB 3 port and then a micro
SD card reader on the back the only
plastic you will find apart from the
touchpad in the keys is this strip along
here which I assume is for the wireless
and Bluetooth antenna reception and on
the rear two downward firing speakers
four rubber feet there and the rear
housing also made out of metal that is
all screwed in place I'll open that up
soon and we'll take a look at the
interior of it and where that m2 SATA 3
SSD slaughters so I just want to see if
it can be opened up one-handed no
definitely not
there is our screen there with some rather
large looking bezels well they aren't
too bad on the left and right and the
front-facing 2-megapixel webcam on the
top here you'll see there are little
rubber feet now that's to keep the
screen away from the palm rest and
hopefully the keyboard will not come in
contact with the screen leaving marks on
there I don't think it will because
there's hardly any flicks at all and the
screen okay so just have a quick look at
the keyboard layout you can see that
we've got shortcuts for the brightness
control for media controls Print Screen
button doesn't seem to be there which is
a little annoying because that's one I
often use myself personally that
keyboard feels quite firm to me there's
hardly any flex in that which is good
because the EZBook 2 and 3 were
very poor microphone location sadly
isn't next to the webcam but as you can
see just above the keyboard
looks like two microphones there then we
have some status LEDs to the right of
that but normally this microphone
location picks up a lot of feedback from
the keys when you're typing away to
enjoy the easy book 3 Pro feels really
stiff and I'll see how far will actually
recline that right there is our maximum
angle I have seen worse I think that's
ok normally from that position that that
angle there should be just fine so just
pairing it up now you can see there the
jumper logo now the screen is matte
coated and it should be an IPS panel but
I'll find out in a few seconds once I
get into Windows ok so doing the initial
first setup here the languages we have
is English Spanish Russian and Chinese
all right so now in Windows here in
first impressions of the screen it looks
very good this is currently on the
maximum brightness and it does dull all
the way right down quite dull there so
that should be good for nighttime use so
I have a couple of images here just to
have a look at what the screen looks
like to me the calibration of it is
heading towards cool white but it is a
very nice screen really good the blacks
on it seemed to be quite deep now colors
aren't shift shifting out at all this is
an IPS panel of have a look at this
moving it it's not shifting out like a
TN panel would or the panel that I had
on the easy book 3 so not bad and as the
vertical angles as well as a horizontal
so definitely IPS panel good to see so I
have a couple of things here just wanted
to quickly show you that the RAM is
running at 1600 megahertz and we do have
this 6 gigabytes and at the moment 4.1 free
now the wireless is RealTek it's just
the wireless N and the very common one
this is a real shame if this had
wireless AC on there because someone
like me I have fiber optic line here so
I've got Wireless AC then I can use the
full potential of my connection
but with wireless-n i can't do that at
all of course because i just can't get
those speeds so free valuable space
there on windows we've got sixty four
point eight two gigabytes which is more
or less the norm there nothing wrong
with that and of course we can expand
upon that which i'll show you soon with
a set of three m2 SSD so nothing else
really here of interest apart from the
internal emmc drive so it's a Toshiba
0-60 4G 38 Windows 10 home and yes
activated without any problems now for
my little external hard drive test will
apparent external hard drive looking
promising it's blue which means USB
three speeds
yes it's reading on the Left port and
also working on the right port so no
problems there which is great touchpad
it seems okay to me I can easily go from
one side of the screen to the other no
problems there and just to find a little
movement there it has good sensitivity I
mean it's not the best touchpad I have
used double tap right-click that is
working so it does have Windows gestures
and you can see right here with the
settings menu I have that we cannot
disable or tweak or control the gestures
like you can with a precision touchpad
like the one on the cube thinker I
thirty-five but overall seems okay of
course it does have incorporated left
and right mouse buttons there I think
it's going to do the job
those speakers sound ok there's a little
bit of distortion at 100% I do though
I'd like them a little bit louder but 81
disability guess that isn't too bad I
prefer to have at least 90
well 85 if I can now another thing too
is because the speakers are facing
downwards if you use this on your lap
you're going to you're going to of
course cover the map aren't you so
that's one thing to bear in mind 2 we're
down with firing speakers which I don't
particularly like too much now the part
of the video that I like the most is to
have a look at the internals of the
machine so we've got to pull the whole
back cover off you remove all the screws
on there very easy to do it just pops
off they've got a very nice large copper
heatsink along there so all that black
part there that is all heatsink now if
you did want to improve thermals even
further I don't know what they're like
at the moment that it would be just a
simple case of placing a nice large
thermal pad in this area right here that
would transfer heat then onto the back
of the whole metal rear of it that would
probably lower temperatures a good 10
degrees I would say so here's where we
can put our 22 by 42 millimeter m2 set
of 3 SSD which I happen to have one here
I've got to transcend this is the one
I've been using for a while now it's got
reasonably good speeds it maxes out
around 530 reads and writes so not bad
at all simply just place it in there now
I've noticed that they've got this
plastic frame around it if you were to
remove this then you could fit in a full
length but you'd have to put some
double-sided tape or something and to
keep it down and I don't know what
you're going to do about the problem of
having that 3d well that's where the
screw goes to hold this in place so that
need to do to put your SSD in there of
course then screw that down put it all
back together and you just have to go
the last step into the BIOS and change
the boot order to your SSD drive from
the 64 gigabyte emmc
it'll still be there you can format it
if you want and then use that as an
additional storage. The bios is ully
unlocked we've got access to all of the
advanced settings in here which also are
settings they can get you into trouble
if you don't know what you're doing so
recommend not messing about with any of
those settings in there full access to
everything so I have a Linux Manjaro
pen that's just right down here you can
hardly see it there in the bottom left
hand side and the see if it's going to
boot now hopefully it's going to fingers
crossed no so this is what I've had
happening with other Apollo Lake systems
as we just get that cursor you can see
just there that's as far as we get so
linux support doesn't seem to be good on
this system at least it's not working at
the time of this video so powered up
fine with my SSD in there they transcend
256 gigabyte one and those are the
speeds you can see on the left so
performing at proper full set of three
speeds which is good because the easy
book three it was only running at about
200 megabytes per second the fastest
there unfortunately it seems that the
micro SD card slot has been lowered or
crippled a little bit probably because
I'm running a SATA3 SSD and it
does have two USB 3 ports on there
they've given all the speed to those
ports and the set of slot but not the
micro SD card readers you see only 10
read and 10 write that should be a hell
of a lot higher than that this card it's
quite quickly can get up to around 70
megabytes per second so that is it for
this video the rest of it will come in
my full review of course but so far just
looking really good for the easy book 3
Pro there's only one major con that I've
found so far and for me it's not really
major because I've got plenty of storage
on there the micro SD card slot just
seems
be running really slow only 10 megabits
per second don't know what is going on
there and the other is well there's no
wireless AC which is such a shame in
this really nice build so bill quality
top-notch very good and the touch pad
feels decent typing on their keyboard as
well as good USB ports it's slim
relatively light at 1.4 kilos that's
really good weight so very portable the
screen seems really decent matte coated
and 1080p IPS if only was just a little
brighter but I will measure that and
have that up and coming in the review
and I do hope to catch you then thank
you so much for watching this video here
bye for now
