So it is is here, this is the EZbook 3 plus now the naming systems a little bit
confusing not to be confused with the easy book 3 Pro which is an Apollo lake
this is their latest laptop here from Jumper and it's meant to be a more
premium one it has a more powerful chipset in here so it has the Core m3 7y30
38 gigabytes of RAM wireless AC a 37 watt hour battery it's got 2 USB 3 ports
on there micro SD card slot and 18 ATP TN panel I think it is according to some
posts on my forum it's not an IPS panel but we'll find out soon once they get
this unboxed and opened up so this one I ordered from gearbest and it came via
their Spain Express service which goes by a D PD UK and that means I didn't
have to pay any taxes on this which was great however it did take about almost
two and a half weeks to arrive so very slow there on the shipping time so the
box looks in reasonably good condition here so I hope it hasn't sustained any
damage ok so like the other jumpers we have the power supply a net top little
box and it's DC in there and this is rated to 12 volts 2 amps
alright so plenty of padding around up jumper logo on the top there so it
weighs in at 1.3 2 kilos so it comes in to be about 13 millimeters that's just
the metal housing there if I include that rubber foot then it's around 17
millimeters there so I have seen this exact same build this chassis has been
used by T book while the t book for that I reviewed and checked it out is exactly
the same but that wasn't gray in this nails and silver so we do have that easy
access slot there for a 22 by 42 SATA 3 SSD so on the left side we have a USB 3
port micro HDMI out and then this status LED here is for charging now I hope this
port is going to work the micro HDMI because on mighty book 4 from this same
Oh diem didn't actually work so we'll be testing that out and then on the right
side a micro SD card slot another USB 3 port DC in and then of course 3.5
millimeter headphone jack with microphone support okay so the hinge
I've noticed there's a bit of a difference here because on the t book 4
they didn't place any magnets in so the screen actually flopped around a little
bit so at least with the jumper they've customized it of course would
that original design manufacture and ask for magnets there so that we have the
keyboard hopefully this has improved over the T books actually it is it feels
a lot different to me the tea box was more spongy that has an OK feel so so
far the build quality is looking really good we do have this large touchpad now
this should be a precision touchpad if it's the same one that was used in the t
book 4 so just above the keyboard here we have three status LEDs power numbers
lock and then the caps lock so on either side of the screen we get these little
rubber pads here now that's to stop the keyboard while hopefully being rubbed up
against the screen or the palm rest part of it with the middle against middle
that hopefully should not happen and you can see jewelry microphones
either side of the front-facing 2-megapixel webcam ok so let's get this
powered on have a look at that screen and confirm whether it's a TN panel or
IPS and you'll notice that the power button location at least it isn't where
the Delete key should be we've got this extra row here for your homepage up and
down and end so that is now just powering up it should be quite quick
because it does have a hundred and twenty eight gigabyte SSD in it so it
looks like we'll probably have to go through the first set up I don't think
someone has created an account already on this yeah ok so I gotta get this set
up and I can confirm yes this is a TN panel that's pretty obvious that you
need to look at it straight on because see how those colors are shifting out so
yeah definitely n that is a real shame that this isn't an IPS screen though
just to point out that I've tested out all the ports so both USB 3 ports will
external hard drives micro SD card sets in flush just like the t book 4 and the
HDMI does work it's outputting video at 4k 30 Hertz maximum alright so let's
take a detailed look at the screen that everyone is rambling about in my forum
there's a lot of complaints about it so as I pointed out before that it looks
like it's a TN panel but I have my doubts a little bit and the reason why
is because look at this those horizontal viewing angles are really good like an
IPS panel maybe it's the anti-glare coating that's
affecting those vertical viewing angles or maybe it's just one of those read
more recent teen panels that don't have the color shifting out really bad on the
horizontal viewing angles but then a vertical of course look at that and see
how that's shifting but once you look at it you get the angle right you look at
it straight on it's not a bad panel really it's leaning towards cool white
certainly the blacks around the outside they see are quite deep and to me I
don't know is it a deal breaker you really have to think hard about will
this bother you having that shifting for the vertical angles but yeah as I said
once you get that screen sort of spot-on everything's fine there but if you
intend to watch videos or something with other people looking at the screen then
yeah it's going to fit them because you can't get that angle correct for
everyone just yourself there but overall it's reasonably bright - it goes right
up to about 300 lux so overall deal-breaker screen you're
really going to have to just think long and hard about those vertical viewing
angles now having a look at Windows here so we do have that 8 gigabytes of RAM
and I have confirmed here just looking at the info and the memory speeds here
that it is running in dual channel as well and the maximum supported speed
therefore these 7 Y 30 so that is good Windows has activated now I did see some
strange thing - called me me me an or some sort of Chinese thing that was
running and the device manager and the process is there that I saw so I killed
that I don't know whether that's a malware or something or a Trojan don't
think it is because it's passed all the virus scans
far I'm not too sure what it is doing though now it could be something to do I
feel with this program here that it's running called touchpad blocker now what
this does is try to block out those touches on the touchpad there now I just
wanted to comment on that touchpad that it is very nice it is a precision
touchpad so you've got full control of gestures and the accuracy and the
smoothness and things of it it does seem really quite good just like the T Book
fours exact same hardware in there so not really too bad there what else we
have on here for hardware we've got Intel wireless AC 31 65 now there's been
a few complaints about this a lot of people have mentioned in the forum well
a lot only really one I think it is or two they're having problems with the
performance of the wireless now I haven't seen this yet I've done my test
here and it came out with very decent speeds now I went over to the furthest
side of this building here in fact out the door so it's going through about
four different walls still managed to get connection I didn't think I would be
able to him because these are really thick concrete it's old style stone
walls here in this building and the speeds yeah they are ten times slower as
expected there and then I tested it yet again from another room and still good
speeds and range and I haven't noticed any hiccups here but I will be
monitoring this and keeping a very close eye on those speeds there and just a
couple of other things to point out that the SSD in there is a 4c one and the
right speeds are a little slow here because of the size of this it's only
128 gigabytes if you get the 256 if you decide to upgrade it then you'll see
around 400 450 writes improve speeds there but it does feel pretty snappy it
boots up quick so no problems really so far in my initial hands-on here with the
speeds of the system now had a little bit of a type on this keyboard and
overall it feels really quite decent I'm enjoying typing on it I haven't noticed
any missed keystrokes or anything but just bear in mind this is early days
with me using it here now you do have four speakers on this and it's like the
t book the speaker's themselves are located along here and they fire up so
I've got two more slots here there so the sound comes up just between
that gap there between the lid and the bottom of where the keyboard is but
let's have a listen to how they sound
okay I don't really want to listen to any more of that they have got a bit of
distortion at 100 C in volume and they really are not loud enough they don't
sound good at all these speakers are poor now the bias is pretty much locked
down to us we've only got a couple of options here so secure boot boot options
and that is really it with the boot overdrive so I've got a Linux Manjaro
pin right in here let's see if we can boot it and it will run Linux hopefully
it will yes it looks like it's going to work so that is good to see so a Linux
Mint jar is working Wireless is working everything is working screen brightness
volume adjustment the only thing that is not working is the touchpad so you'll
have to hunt around and find drivers for the precision touchpad that it uses now
we'll check out the lid flex I'm pressing down quite hard here and really
that is not bad that's fine no issues with that is a little bit but that's
normal now the hinge feels reasonably stiff there and really overall the build
a little bit of flex but it is quite solid I have no complaints with the
build quality all the hinge in this okay guys so that is the jumper easy book
three-plus this is the core m3 7 y 30 version with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128
gigabyte SSD so sulphides are looking promising it's looking good apart from
that screen so the problem is as I outlined and showed you the vertical
viewing angles just aren't that good you have to look at it straight on but
really apart from that the rest of it is very decent I do like typing on that
keyboard so far seems really quite good the touchpad I'm familiar with I've used
it in the tea book for and it is a good precision touchpad they have in there
USB ports are powering external hard drives the HDMI out is working up to 4k
30 Hertz and the build quality overall it seems to be well put together it's
reasonably thin the weight isn't too bad just under 1.4 kilos now better life
thermals gaming performance and all the rest of that that I normally do so more
benchmarks - that'll be all up and coming in my
full review of this easy book three plus here thanks so much for watching this
video and now if you do have any questions or you want to know a little
bit more about the screen issue here whatever let me know down in the
comments and I'll try and get around to answering you there bye for now
