Edit #2. I just got mine recently, update on the wireless. Sadly it’s the old Realtek Wireless N chip! Geekbuying also removed the WIFI: Intel Stone Peak 3165 802.11ac/a/b/g/n part in the listing. I hope the Tbook4 will get an update with Wireless AC. But not to worry, I have a strong hunch, the Jumper EZbook 3L Pro is this model, same ODM jsut in silver with Jumper’s own config.
Unboxing coming soon!
Edit: The listing has been updated now stating it has WIFI: Intel Stone Peak 3165 802.11ac/a/b/g/n. So that settles it, Intel wireless AC 3165 it is, great news. Now I just hope the build quality is up to it and the touchpad is decent. It still hasn’t shipped, so could be a few weeks off before I have my hands on it.
Another N3450 Laptop, my quest to find the best and cheaper Apollo Lake laptops is far from over. This new model is from the same ODM as the Tianbao or T-Bao Tbook Air I reviewed, the fastest Apollo Lake I’ve reviewed. T-Bao seems to have used either faster RAM than most or different bios settings to squeeze around 30 to 40% better iGPU performance out of their N3450’s. In any case, this Tbook4 is worth a look I felt. Thanks to Inhalt for pointing it out. So if they have used that same optimization as the Civiltop Air it should offer very decent Intel HD 500 integrated GPU performance. (For an Apollo Lake!)
There is only one thing I cannot seem to confirm, the wireless if it’s wireless N 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz or wireless AC. Considering all the Tbook Air and Xiaoma 21 use the Intel 3165 dual band AC chipset I think we have a good change it’s that. Geekbuying have it for sale for $238.99, with coupon GKBTBOOK4. They seem to be the only ones selling it for now. And Geekbuying also has a T-bao brand sale on with other T-Bao products, the Tbook Air and some weaker laptops. I’ve picked one up so hopefully have it in a few weeks to review. But for now some user photos of JD.com.
