Onda’s new 12″ MacBook Air clone, 360º Yogo hinge notebook is on sale today only on Aliexpress for $369. Thankfully it’s not another X5 Z8300, with 4GB of single channel ram. But an Atom X7 Z8700 (2.4Ghz) 4GB of dual channel Ram and a 64GB eMMC. The same spec as the Microsoft Surface 3. The screen is a 16:10, 1920 x 1200 pixel display and it can also flip right around like a Lenovo Yogo 2 to be used a rather hefty tablet or in tent or presentation mode (where the keyboard acts like a tablet stand or base).
Now I wasn’t too happy with the oBook11, it had a whine noise and USB 3 port issues. And want to stay clear of Onda products, but since I’m buying it on the behalf of someone. I’ll see if I can also get a few days with it and review it. Finger crossed this model does have the samwe issue. At least it does have a different panel and hardware.

Hey, I get the Onda ain’t the best, this looks like a lovely device though. Does the screen come off? or just flip?
I’m a mac person so I’ve no idea about processors per se, I do know core M are good. Would this processor run Photoshop (low impact usage) and Indesign (heavier usage? document tweaks). I’m looking for a second simpler device for being out and about just wondering if these specs are good, seems a simpler set up than the the cube machine I had my eye on.
Cheers

I’ve ordered one to review. So I’ll see if it’s decent or not. But the Atom X7 can handle light photoshop tasks, but indesign I think would be better on a Core M. The screen flips around like a Lenovo Yogo.

Cheers Chris, appreciate the reply.
