Update: 17th July. New real images of the tablet added, the side bezels look slimmer which is good and the price will be $219 if you’re an early backer and sign up with your email. After that, it will be $269 the standard price. Price wise this isn’t bad considering it has that SAMOLED screen, fingerprint reader, and the spec. Similar tablets sell for around the same price.

If you’ve seen my Jumper EZBook X4 review the thermals were not good on my unit, 93 degrees C when gaming. Too high! Now, of course, this could just be my unit. Like whenever I have a problem that other reviewers never seem to mention, it’s a faulty unit… Or my fault. But I discovered that the factory copper heatsink wasn’t sitting flush onto of the Celeron N4100 applying e...[Read More]
I’ve been using the new Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro and I still don’t really understand the need for this mobile. It’s the same proven formula used over and over by Xiaomi. A Snapdragon 625 + large 4000mAh battery. But that’s now a bore. Maybe it is true Xiaomi bought up the last of the Snapdragon 625 stock nobody wanted to touch but in return gain a big discount on the flagship chi...[Read More]

Chuwi’s working on a new Lapbook Air model that will be called the Lapbook SE with the new Celeron N4100 Gemini Lake SoC. Not much is known only that it will have a backlit keyboard, a premium thin and light build. And a new 13.3″ fully laminated IPS screen (The Lapbook Air was 14.1″) This all sounds good, but no info on RAM and storage. Hopefully, it will come with 8GB of RAM an...[Read More]
Alldocube’s second tablet with the Helio X20 is better than the X1 the 8.9″ version which ran into thermal throttling affecting the performance. The M5 is 10.1 inches with the same 2560 x 1600 resolution, but this time the screen is non-laminated with a gap of about 2mm between the screen and glass. And to top it off that screen isn’t exactly the brightest at around 190 lux. Like...[Read More]
Update #2: The Tecalst F7 128GB SSD model is now $279 USD, the price has dropped $20 and is limited to 200 units. Right now it’s still the best budget laptop, the new EZBook X4 might have the faster, newer Celeron N4100 CPU, but it has 2GB less RAM and a TN panel. Update: For those that missed out. Another 200 units were added today, so it’s back at $299 from $369! I spotted the Tecals...[Read More]
A solid Mini PC from Beelink it’s really the Beelink S2 this mini PC. But rebranded as the AlfawiseT1, an overall great little mini PC with good thermals it will not go past 85 degrees c. Plenty of storage options (M.2 SSD or 2.5″) Fast eMMC 5.1 spec but only 4GB of RAM. This is it’s only really a weakness. The performance jump of around 25% more single core speeds and about 19% ...[Read More]
Today the Mi Pad 4 was launched in China by Xiaomi, the 4th Mi Pad which is the first to use a Qualcomm chipset, Xiaomi went with the midrange Snapdragon 660 which will perform well considering the screen resolution is now 1920 x 1200. So no more 4:3 ratio Retina screens the iPad Mini 4 uses. It’s an 8-inch 16:10 aspect ratio, IPS panel and fully laminated. The build is an alloy unibody that...[Read More]
A new 4:3 fully laminated thin tablet is coming from Teclast. This M89 looks a lot like the Mi Pad series or iPad mini as it has the same screen. 2048 x 1536 with 326 PPI even in 2018 this is a good panel. It’s got 3GB of RAM and a 32GB eMMC plus a MicroSD slot. The chipset is the six core MTK1876 as seen in the Master T10 from Teclast. It’s a decent SoC better than the Helio X20 I thi...[Read More]
I’m typing this out on my new EZBook X4, Jumper’s latest Gemini Lake laptop. It’s really the EZBook 3L Pro with a few tweaks or the even the Teclast F7 (The current best Apollo Lake Laptop) The build is identical and this isn’t a bad thing, it is also selling for the same price of $299, has full alloy housing, good internal layout and build, plus a nice big copper heatsink....[Read More]
