So the first Gemini Lake powered laptops and convertibles are now appearing. This one looks to be the first from Jumper, and as I suspected it’s only got 4GB of DDR4 RAM due to the fact DDR4 is much more expensive. The new Celeron N4100 will be the SoC replacing the Celeron N3450, it supports 2400Mhz DDR4, has double the cache at 4Mb Vs 2Mb, supports HDMI 2.0 spec, 4 lanes Vs 3. And clocked 200Mhz higher with a max turbo of 2.4Ghz. It’s still quadcore like the Apollo Lake and the GPU has just really been renamed. It’s exactly the same as the Apollo Lake Intel 500 HD iGPU the only change is it can now output 4k60hz max. But with that faster RAM, it should perform somewhat better.
More details on Intel’s website about the new Celeron N4100.
As for the EZbook Yoga, It looks a little like the old smaller Voyo Vbook. It has an 11.6-inch 1080p touchscreen, Type-C port with charging, MicroSD, SSD hatch and Windows 10 Home that runs on a 64GB eMMC. A fingerprint reader in the touchpad and a 9000mAh battery. No stylus support it seems?
What concerns me is no full-sized USB 3.0 ports and a plastic body? Also the price – $499 is quite can an ask for 4GB of DDR4 RAM and a Celeron N4100. You can get a Core M3 with 8GB that is similar for around $50 less. The Teclast F6 Pro.

Fuck jumper and fuck grearbest for taking a week to dispatch a paid packed replacement pro3. They really really are hopeless with any changes like all I wanted was DHL even tho I can’t and the defective device back so they get no refund. Aliexress from now on

Thanks for the link 😉 Interesting!

For that price they should have increased the ram to 6 to 8gb or have a backlit keyboard. Hopefully there will be a revision 1,2,3,4,5 like they always do with jumper.

I see there’s some n4100 benchmarks in the Geekbench database now. Single core performance certainly looks better – something like 25% better than the n3450.

oh this is a significant improvement over the Apollo Lake, worth the wait then maybe. But what concerns me is why have they switched to only 4GB of RAM, this is a stupid move. 6GB is bad enough, they never learn these Chinese three is always something!

Looks like that is the new 5th gen Lenovo THINKPAD 11E

Do you know when it comes?
Chris G
Mid March I think. It’s just listed now on Aliexpress.

Reminds me of the never-released Onda OBook 12 (or 20?)
First device with Gemini Lake : ok, someone has to start the flood… Let’s wait for price drop!
Chris G
Yes, it seems similar to that Onda, I’m sure the flood will start soon. I’m more looking forward to a Teclast F7 and EZbook 3 Pro Gemini Lake update. Would be great if they could use SODIMM RAM slots, so if the RAM price is an issue at least let us upgrade and add another 4GB stick to make it 8GB.
Brad
Yeah. Stupid pricing. Gonna be a flop product if they don’t have a big price drop.
