Deals: Gearbest 4th Anniversary – The Best Deals List (Updated)
It’s Gearbest’s 4th Anniversary sale. And this might have been the reason prices went up recently, so they can now drop them for their 4th birthday sale. There are a lot of items that are discounted and on flash sale on the main discount page. Here are my picks based on tech I’ve reviewed and the price: *Updated 27th* There are some side wide coupons to also try: GB4th$3 – ...[Read More]
Thermal Repaste & Overclocking The Nvidia 940M In The D-Book Pro
The Daysky D-Book Pro is an interesting $350 combination of dedicated Nvidia 940M 2GB GPU and the ever so common Celeron N3450. The CPU is far too weak for any real serious gaming as it bottlenecks almost all of the new and demanding titles, so I set out here in this video to see if it’s possible to improve both thermals and GPU performance. And If you caught my review of the DaySky D-Book P...[Read More]
Chuwi Hi9 Air – 10.1″ With Helio X20 & 4G Dual SIM
The Chuwi Hi9 Air went back to the drawing board it seems, I always thought it was going to be 8.4″ tablet like the Hi9. But now it’s 10.1 inches still the same 2560 x 1600 resolution, so 16:10 aspect ratio and yes it’s fully laminated. Since it’s now 10.1-inches shouldn’t it be called the Chuwi Hi10 Air? The interesting part is the chipset is a MediaTek Helio X20, de...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro Vs Mi Notebook Air 13 2018 Comparison

This video comparison covers all the key differences between the two models. And It’s not as straightforward as you might think but they also have some big differences in performance, battery life, screens and ev...[Read More]
Teclast F7 Vs Jumper EZBook 3L Pro Comparison
Recently I just got hold of my EZBook 3L Pro, the 14″ version of the Jumper EZBook 3 Pro and a laptop that is almost identical to the Tecalst F7 I reviewed. This one comes from the same ODM, there are only minor differences which I’ll outline below and one big difference depending on how lucky or unlucky you are. After all the reports from various users that Jumper switched to using an...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro Bios 0401 SSD Fix & Unlocked XTU Settings
I took a risk with this one, ordered this unit 3 weeks ago and struck it lucky, this is one of the newer models of the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro and it comes with bios 0401. Why is this important? Well if you caught my review of the Mi Notebook Pro the SSD slot was only running at x2 speed on both SSD slots, so it never let the Samsung PM961 256GB NVMe run at full x4 speed. Limiting reads to around 1...[Read More]
Hands-On With The T-Bao Tbook X8S Pro – Apollo Lake + 920M Laptop
This is the second T-Bao laptop I’ve looked out, thanks to a few forum goers that point this one out I decided to buy this one from Geekbuying.com. However I kinda wish I didn’t, on paper, it seems okay, maybe good for some light gaming. But that dedicated Nvidia 920M with 2GB of DDR3 isn’t nearly as fast I thought it would be. Sure the CPU is very weak for a gaming laptop, the A...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook 3L Pro, The Best Teclast F7 Alternative
Update: I just got my EZBook 3L Pro, I can confirm it has no power limit settings in the bios and a factory set 6W limit. And I was unlucky, my unit has a TN Panel! Not matte IPS, but Matte TN, panel ID MS_0003. So it’s down to luck if you get the matte IPS panel from BOU. Software power limit unlock or setting 10W works fine. Thermals are good and the rest is exactly the same as the Teclast...[Read More]

The shell and design aren’t new, shared with the EZbook 3L Pro and Tbook4 I reviewed However the...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13 2018 Review Online
The Mi Notebook Air 13.3″ model got a refresh and it’s the second one. I was half expecting a completely new redesign, something like the Dell XPS. But this new 2018 revision sees it more or less becoming a smaller lighter version of the Mi Notebook Pro as it shares the same 8th Gen Intel i5 8250U or i7 8550U CPU’s. And the same paint job. The touchpad and keyboard also got a min...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook Yoga – 11.6″ Gemini Lake Convertible
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 ...[Read More]
Alfawise Tab Review Now Online
The Alfawise Tab review is now online. This is basically the same exact tablet as the JDTab J01 I reviewed last year, but it’s got stock Android 6.0 and it’s around half the price. Turned out to be a great tablet for the price, great build quality and overall a premium 4:3 ratio screen tablet for the price. The review with a rating out of 10 and Pros & Cons is here: Alfawise Tab Re...[Read More]
