New Ezbook 3 Pro User? Must do tasks, tweaks, mods for regular use.

Hi, no idea about the mainform, not heard about it before. Sounds like you need to tweak the touchpad in the windows settings, be it the speed or sensitivity, or deactivate a few options in the precision section. The banana keyboard is normal, mine has a slight bulge on the strip of metal below the touchpad, you can actually bend the laptop if you really want, not sure any are perfectly straight.

I also have the problem where the touchpad can’t tell the difference between zooming and scrolling. My solution was to disable pinch to zoom altogether in the windows settings. Whenever I want to zoom, i just hold down ctrl and scroll up and down to zoom instead. I took a driver dump with double driver when I got my machine for 3 weeks ago, I can upload it here.

I’m too interested in adding a 64 or 128 GB micro SD to avoid the m.2 ssd hazzle cause I had bought a 2280 ssd before I ordered the laptop – too big / long to fit through the back door. I have V4 – without the samsung emmc.

Does anyone have experiences / advices to share?

Good luck - WOLF

Ok, that’s strangely re-assuring, cannot complain for the price, but would have been good if it was looked into for future production. Bending it is an idea,  but considering that keyboard maybe delicate i am resisting misaligning it. will learn to live with it.

That’s a nice workaround, will try that and see if it helps me. would really appreciate it if you could share the link for the driver dump. did you use any software to back up your driver? or just copy the files from your C drive?

I am also considering adding a 64 GB USB 3.0 Drive, something discrete like Sandisk Cruz Fit 3.0 ( for £18) it should give decent storage till M.2 2242 drives become a bit cheaper. £38 for a 128 GB Kingspec is not a bad idea, but i dont see any branded (safe?) alternate drives in the £50 category. Anybody tried this? can we let the system see it as a native drive?

Here is an M.2 2280 Samsung MZ-V6E500BW SSD 960 EVO, 500 GB, NVMe for £185

But i doubt it will work, as the connectors look different.

Here is a double driver backup that I made when I got my eb 3 pro couple of weeks ago: https://mega.nz/#F!351w1I4T!Y6hhI418EYzNAj9QOz6ZBQ

Here’s a tip for creating things like single press Vol +/- functions, Page Up/Down etc.

Use remapping software such as SharpKeys or ATNsoft KeyRemapper to create your required keys.

I have single press F1+F2 as Vol +/- and single press F11/F12 as Page Up/Down.

Still haven’t figured out a single press for Brightness +/- though….. :-/

Don’t buy NVMe  SSD since EZBook 3 PRO doesn’t support NVMe drives.

 

Also when you want to use Sandisk cruzer fit (https://www.gearbest.com/usb-flash-drives/pp_661414.html   price is really good) I would suggest you not to use it constantly because it overheats quite a lot. But it is not a bug it’s a feature and every single Cruzer Fit is hot when plugged in. I own one myself.

I thought you can remove all the screws on the back to remove the entire rear of the laptop and take out the plastic part in order to fit a a 2280 SSD? Might be wrong, but give the forum a quick search. An SSD is going to be way quicker than a micro SD card, unless you spend a lot of money on one.

I bought the smaller size m2 SSD from AliExpress – a Kingspec 128GB module which cost me about $40 delivered and it’s really decent 🙂

Thank you, I did a fresh Windows Install which removed most/all bugs from the system, no hidden services. Not exactly paranoid but drivers are the easiest way to capture key logs / create back door into PC’s , fresh install has increased the battery life and i am now getting around 6.5 hrs browsing, light music @ 40% brightness with breaks / sleep in between.

However i have 3 unknown devices in my device manager and its proving difficult to find the drivers, anyone know the make of the motherboard on this device?

I have attached an image of the same.

thanks, will try these out soon.

not sure how reliable the M.2 120 GB SSD ( Presumably Kingspec) is, so was thinking of using a micro USB till the m.2 SSD prices come down.

If you post the properties of those devices we can match up the drivers (hardware ID and so on from the device manager properties dialog).
