Hands-On First Impressions Of The Onda Xiaoma 21
The Onda Xiaoma 21 is very much like the Civiltop Air or Tbook Air it’s known as I reviewed. Celeron N3450, 4GB LPDDR3 RAM, wireless AC. A 12.5″ 1080p screen, a really bright anti-glare IPS with decent calibration out of the box. it weighs only 1.09 kilos and 12.8mm thin, making it super lightweight and portable. But this one has more ports, but sadly it’s still missing one impor...[Read More]
Hands-on With The Wifi AC Version 3 EZBook 3 Pro
Jumper really stepped up their game this year with the EZbook 3 Pro, It got a glowing review for its a decent keyboard, screen, great build quality and good performance. It was also one of the first with 6GB of RAM instead of the more common 4GB. However, there was one area I was disappointed. It had Wireless N and not wireless AC like other Apollo Lake laptops and tablets. So it was rated down on...[Read More]
Chuwi SurBook Update – Shipping Date Slips & Copper Heatsink Added
Some good news on the Chuwi Surbook front and some bad. Well, it’s not really bad. The shipping date has slipped to late July or August. Chuwi’s has produced a few units but still further tweaking is required hence the delay. So not a bad thing at all really, I prefer a more refined product than a rushed one with issues, anyone would. And the good news is they are going to use a copper...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook 3 Pro Wifi AC Model. M2 Slot & Cheaper eMMC’s?
A lot of the latest Jumper EZbook 3 Pro version 3 units are now in the hands of those that ordered around the 13th of June. It took a while to ship but confirmed that the Wireless AC chip is indeed like the others Apollo Lake laptops an Intel 3165 dual-band wireless AC chip with dual antennas. So a nice upgrade from the much slower and weaker Realtek N signal band and single antenna solution found...[Read More]
Onda V10 Pro Review Online
Onda is a brand I stopped reviewing for a while as I wasted a lot of cash on some real lemons from them before. The v919 Core M was one of the worst and they just never had that build quality other brands do. But with the recent laptops from them having a decent built and what looks like a change in ODM I decided to give them another go. That and this Onda v10 Pro was requested quite a few times s...[Read More]
Chuwi Lapbook 12.3 Review Online
Only just posted the Lapbook 12.3 review to the YouTube channel. It’s below, bottom line this notebook has the best screen seen yet in the Chinese laptops I’ve reviewed. 267 PPI, bright and sharp with an anti-glare coating. Shame about those bezels, however! It’s an all round decent laptop, one of the better ones. But not the best due to a few minor issues like less battery life ...[Read More]
Chuwi Surbook – New Video Of T2 Prototype
Chuwi posted today a video of the Surbook in action, this is the T2 prototype build. So not the final version, so it could be a little different from the final product once released. Here we get a good look at the type cover keyboard which looks a lot like the Surface Pro 3 one with the keys closer together. Personally, I like the island or chiclet style spaced out keys better as you’ll get ...[Read More]

Onda Obook 11 Pro Unboxing, First Impressions & SSD Installation
It’s been some time since I looked at an Onda tablet, their build quality just wasn’t up to scratch. But after looking at the Xiaoma 41 laptop and seeing that they have improved in terms of build I decided to get the new Core M3-7Y30 tablet from them. This one has an 11.6″ 1080p IPS panel, 64GB eMMC for storage but it does have an M.2 SSD slot in it. 4GB fo 1600Mhz RAM (Not runni...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook 3 Plus – Core M3-7Y30, 8GB, 128GB 14.1-Inch Laptop
Yet another version of the EZBook 3 has been spotted on Gearbest, thanks to Ricardo.This time it’s a 14.1-inch laptop packing more punch with an Intel Core M3-7Y30 Kaby Lake, 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. The build looks thin like the EZBook 3 Pro, but with a larger touchpad. I hope it uses the same 14.1-inch matte IPS 1080p panel the Lapbook 14.1 has. That’s a really decent IPS panel, bri...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook 3S – The Revised And Improved Jumper EZBook 3

It’s the revised Jumper EZBook 3, called the EZBook 3S, Gone is the Intel Celeron N3350 dual core, replaced with the N3450 quad-core (Much better for multicore performance). They also moved to 6GB of RAM like the EZBook 3 Pro and Chuwi Lapbook 12.3. The Toshiba...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K First Impressions & Unboxing, Set-Up And First Flight
Drones are something I have wanted to get into for a while, but ultimately put off for so long due to two main factors, the cost and the fear I would crash it in a second wasting my cash never having enjoyed it. Luckily the Mi Drone turned out to be so much easier than I ever expected to pilot. Unlike those tiny cheap quadcopters I’ve flown & crashed in light wind, the Mi Drone uses GPS ...[Read More]
