The Vbook line from Voyo gets an upgrade to the new Apollo lake Pentium N4200 in the Vbook V3. This is a 13.3″ “Yoga” style notebook with a 360-degree hinge. I’ve looked at this design before and it’s very similar to the Lenovo Yoga 2 style of notebook. You can use it like a thick heavy tablet with the keyboard flipped back in presentation mode, or tent mode. The 13.3...[Read More]

It also has a few hardware changes Intel made with the newer Cherry Trail revision. It’s listed as $50 more for the newe...[Read More]
Gearbest’s Spanish website has just opened up, the warehouse is located in Spain to serve Spanish customers, and the local warehouse stocks a lot of gear which ships directly from Spain.

You can...[Read More]
A comment on the site pointed this one out to me the Songqi F6C, I’ve never heard of this brand before so could be a risk.

The Intel Core i7 6500U, it has 4GB of DDR3 RAM (Should be upgradable?) 13.3″ 1080p screen and 128GB SSD. It’s runni...[Read More]
Voyo’s A1 Plus Lenovo Yoga style laptop (360 degree hinge) looks to be the second device with the Atom X5 Z8350 out of China.

I reviewed this same design in the Onda oBook 11, while the design was okay, that Onda had a few issues and was give a poor review. Hopefully, this new model from the s...[Read More]
