After missing out on the first batch sent, then super slow delivery with DPD I finally have Teclast’s little F5, a promising 11.6″ Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 laptop with 8GB of DDR4 RAM. A 360-degree hinge, 1080p fully laminated touchscreen and a super light and thin design. For an ultraportable travel laptop, it ticks all the boxes but one, it doesn’t have a full sized USB port.

Above is my first hands-on look which will be followed up in a week or some once I’ve been using enough to know all its ins and outs. So far the performance is really quite good for the spec, 9W TDP helps. And that 8GB of RAM of course, as a result, feels a little quicker than the Chuwi Lapbook SE I just reviewed. But the keyboard is a comprise, they always are at 11.6″ but for the size and the touchpad both are decent. But not going to match the Lapbook SE’s great keyboard and touchpad. This one cost $329 but is now selling for a little higher.
Loving the weight of it, only 1.05 kilos and just 15mm thin. More on this one soon!
