This must be another case of the Intel 14nm shortage and rising Intel chipset costs (Yet again!) The Tecalst F5 which is powered by the Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 now there is this the Teclast F5R that popped up on Gearbest. It’s powered by the last gen Apollo Lake N3450. Keeps the 8GB of RAM and they have doubled the SSD storage from 128GB to 256GB. The CPU is about 15% slower than the N4100 it all depends on the TDP set.
The rest is exactly the same, 11.6″ fully laminated 1080p IPS touch screen. The hinge is a Yoga style one so flips 360-degrees around converting the laptop into a tablet. It’s listed for $379 and shipping this month. The Teclast F5 I’ve reviewed you can see it below it’s a great little laptop just over 1 kilo and only really held back with average 4-hour battery run time compared to the 8 hours other laptops have like the Chuwi Lapbook SE due to the small battery. And no full-sized USB ports, you have to use type-c adaptors and the webcam in a silly location. See my review below:
