T-bao Tbook Air3

[CM]

Well they say 13.3 in one place and 14 in another.

The battery seems bit weedy

None, I’ve seen it. Not sure if I should get one as I’m still trying to sell my Tbook Air. Maybe if I get a gap, but I prefer to review the up and coming EZBook 3L Pro that has the touchpad and build of the Tbook4, but wireless AC. And then the EZbook 3 Plus Core M3 + 8GB

Ah very true. I didn’t even see that. That’s the problem with half of these online listings. Not sure what you’re getting until it shows up on your doorstep.

I ordered the Air3 from Geekbuying because now there are the same specs on every website (6GB RAM , 13.3 Inch IPS Screen , N3450, Battery as big as in the Tbook4).

I ordered it like a week ago but Geekbuying didn’t sent it out yet. The preorder already ended a month ago and I’ts quite strange that there aren’t any pictures of it on the Internet by now, so I was not quite sure if they already sent out just one single unit.

Today I asked the live chat from geekbuying when it will be sent out and they said it will be sent out this night, which is great! (But I already heard people say that geekbuying is giving out fake tracking numbers so the customers wont cancel their orders.)

If it really gets shipped this night I think I can give you more information in the next weeks 🙂

Mine is due tomorrow, PostNL service from geekbuying Tbook Air3. If I have time (and it arrives) look for an unboxing video tomorrow.

Okay sounds great! Good to know that they already shipped some Air3’s! Mine was dispached today.

I wonder if its really made from metal since they usually advertise with the metal build, but they didnt wrote anything about the material down.

Well I will wait for your unboxing video!

[Chris G]

Okay, I got my Tbook Air3, the build isn’t as good as I would have hoped. The lid is metal, the underside is metal. But the palm rest and keyboard area is plastic! There is some keyboard flex and the keys feel a little cheap.

Windows doesn’t seem to activate. The screen is IPS with bad bezels. USB ports seem to have power issue when using them both at the same time. Not even enough power to run my external mouse and USB flash drive! Very poor. The touchpad is also very average/poor.

Good news: The bios is fully unlocked including power limits which can be disabled and there is a small flap for inserting an M.2 SSD (2242) on the rear. And the wireless is Intel Wireless AC 3165.

It charges via Type-C, but a smaller type-c plug, not the typical size (Like the Tbook Air). The real kicker, my power adator seems to have died or the laptop itself will not charge. My unboxing video was cut sorted. After 2 hours of messing around and getting really pissed of I still couldn’t power on the laptop and the adaptor didn’t feel warm at all. So not good.

I cannot recommend it, don’t waste your money like I just did. Get the EZBook 3 Pro V4 latest model people, it’s the best and one of cheapest too!

Did you ever resolve the power problem as I am having exactly the same issue?
