Jumpers EZbook 2 turned out to be an okay notebook for the price and I enjoyed mine. Which lead me to get this latest model from Jumper,the EZbook Air. It’s 11.6″ with a glossy 1080p screen, it comes in champagne gold only so far. Powered by an Atom X5 Z8300 & 4GB like the Ezbook 2. But the good things are, Intel wireless AC, 128GB eMMC and most metal housing. I say mostly as the sides and the large screen bezels are made of plastic.
The weight of it is really nice, under 1 kilo and that includes a 8000mAh battery that should last for around 7 hours. It’s also super thin. Just a real shame the bezels are so large, it’s taken me a while to adjust to it. After coming from a Mi Notebook Air with very thin left and right bezels this was a bit of a shock. I got my unit from Gearbest here.
My first impressions:
Pros:
- Super light and thin
- Bright and sharp 1080p panel looks like a decent panel
- The keyboard is good to type on with nice feedback and travel from the individual keys
- Samsung 128GB eMMC ( speed will be coming )
- Metal palm rest, lid and rear backing
- Intel Wireless AC 3160
- Web camera imagine looks just fine. (as seen in unboxing)
- Fast Type-C charging
- Feel faster than Z8300 tablets, just how the EZbook Air 2 feels.
- Touchpad seems good, some gestures are disabled like swing down.
Cons
- Massive 2003 style screen bezels. (Jumper should have used a larger panel?)
- The color, it’s not for everyone
- Only one port! (They copied Apple way too much here)
- No HDMI out
- No SD or MicroSD card slot
- No USB ports
- A bit price for the spec (It is an Atom Z8300)
- Glossy screen, if it is a removable layer. I don’t see where to peel it off?

Do you have plans to review the new stream 11 ? It now has 4gigs of ram, wireless AC and a usb 3.1 port for 199 dolars.

Don’t think so can’t get it in Spain. Would have to import it. But does it still have a 768p screen?
omer
Yes both 11.6″ and 14″ models have 768p screens.

Omer is it this? Hp Stream 11 Pro G2 4GB wireless AC I can get one for $130…crazy price. But I have to pay import taxes.

I think he means this one: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/Laptops/hp-stream—11-y010nr-%28energy-star%29-x7v29ua-aba. It has a 14″ twin as well. The Pro G2 was released late last year and targeted towards education as a Stream v1 upgrade. The Stream (v2) is slightly newer, but similar in specs and priced around $199. To me the Pro G2 looks better with the 64GB eMMC option, so I’m curious where you found it for that price. Might be an option for my niece.

Ebay.com is where I saw it.
