The Teclast F5 model is coming at the end of the month, It’s an 11.6″ 1080p IPS 360-degree hinge laptop powered by the Gemini Lake N4100, with 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM, 128GB SSD with SSD hatch for easy upgrading. It will support a stylus, has a premium metal build and wireless AC with BT 4.1. The Teclast F5 has a type-c port, micro HDMI out and MicroSD slot. Sadly, no full-sized USB ports which is odd.
There is also no mention if that 1920 x 1080 IPS screen is fully laminated. Fingers crossed it is, but I’ll have to confirm this once I get hold of one to review. The F5 runs Windows 10 Home and weighs less than 1 kilo and is 13mm thin. The battery is 7700mAh and good for 5 hours according to the press material below.
Overall it looks good, great to see 8GB of RAM with the Gemini Lake Celeron N4100, but disappointing there is no full-sized USB port. Which means you’ll have to carry around an adaptor or type-c hub.
Gearbest will be selling it here once in stock. But no word on pricing yet.

Page title says $501. Expect it will need to launch cheaper

They sell it in China for less than 350, including sale tax.
Steve
If that is $350 that would be a great buy!

I appreciate deletion of full size usb, in fact it is time for manufacturers to delete it in toto, and replace it by only type-c
ice
than use an apter even for a usb dongle?
so what? let’s ger rid f the card reader too….you always can use an adapter..
NO WAY
usb is far too common and too often used to get rid of it

the smaller the display (on a notebook), the more is the need of a 16:10 /3:2 aspect ratio to get a minimum productivity
ice
and with such a bottom bezel…the room for a “taller” display was there

why they say ”long lasting” battery when its only 5 hours? am i missing something here?

No wait, so the f6 is the current flagship, the f7 is a entry level ultrabook and the f5 is a tab better than the f7?
teclast really need a new naming scheme!!!

Do you know if the SSD hatch is for the shorter M2 ?? thanks.

It looks like the 2242 size so yes and it being 11.6″ I don’t imagine they would have a lot of room for bigger.

A small headsup, the press release pictures do say 1920×1080 OGS. So it should be fully laminated.

depensing on how big the housing is you might be able to fit a msata(with a m.2 adater)
