With mojave it was quite cool but I just tested it for a day. quite happy with this jumper for 290€ is really great! the vertical viewing angles are rubish – TNpanel – but it does not bother me. Windows is running great, the metal case should help keeping temps down too. I dont game or use premiere. I also use debloater when I install windows: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater this is the kind of performance yet this one has a fan

 

 

Awesome, i’ll order an ssd too! Can you recommend me a guide for installing macOs? Never attempted to do it before.

 

I recommend getting a new thermal pad, arctic ones are 5$, and replace the stock one (die to heatsink, mine shipped without and was constantly hitting 100c) and adding one to connect the bottom housing and the heatsink. After doing this it can sustain 10w performance easily without going over 75-80C even after a few hours.

Well that’s pretty nice, do you mind sharing where did you find the mojave image?

If you have a Mac or a hacintosh you can download it from the macOS Apple Store and then create a boot usb drive with EFI/clover. I do not advise you to downloaded mojave from some weird site.

 

Yeah that’s what stopped me, i dont own any MacOs device sadly.

 

Btw how’s battery life compared to windows?

The emmc may be soldered on the board itself, i’m not sure if you’ll be able to swap it out

Ok, so I have promising results now. First discharge was very good, almost 7 hours of mixed/light use. Second discharge, also good over 5 hours, with 2+ hours of playing a game (reaching the 9w TDP most of the time) also some video playback. Still a bit of battery left; goes to hibernate at 4% and after 15 minutes, computer can be turned on again at 7 to 14% (third time now). Chinese seller was right, it seems. After fully charging both cells manually (both to 4.3V), it now seems to be working as expected. Nothing was faulty. He proved as helpful as this thread. (To his advantage, of course). Also, I wired the batteries as instructed in this thread; new wires where old ones were. Not as in seller’s picture above. I will update if there is something new. But for now I am happy. Let’s see how long this lasts. Paco

Nice!

keep us posted

No. Atoms and Celerons, and Intel HD Graphics on those processors are not supported and are a waste of time.

I have an EzBook 3 plus, sports the same core m3-7y30 from the  small MacBook line, and graphics should be the same, i’ll keep you guys posted if i find a workaround

[Francesco]

Joking aside, it does look possible, i sadly lack a Mac to create the bootable usb and Vms are not recommended

Mojave looks pretty nice, i’ll see if there is any workaround

This thread is really interesting, thumbs up @Chupa for the quality content

How thick they are? BTW, I have a crazy idea: get rid of the heatsink and put a thick thermal pad directly between the CPU and the back cover. The only thing which is worrying me is that the heatsink has isolation. But I don’t think it is possible to short something by a back cover.

1mm. Thermal pads actually insulate quite a bit, it’s not worth putting a really thick layer

Sorry for the late reply.

In the end i added a new high quality thermal pad between the coreM and the heatsink and another one to connect the heatsink to the backplate.

I saw really nice gains, and now it stabilizes at around 75-80C while gaming with the standard 7W power limit.

Sadly for gaming the stock 7w power limit makes the (power limit) throttling kick in rather often; raising it to 10W solves the issue, i’ve registered no additional gains by going over 10W. Sadly at 10W the laptop will slowly climb to 85+ temperatures so i’ve bough a cheap cooling pad, which keeps temps at around 70C even with the most intensive tasks

Is the ssd full? HAd the same problem with mine, windows told me to free up some space and everything went back to normal

[Francesco]

Thath’s not bad considering the warranty, never saw any thomson here in italy

[Francesco]

Have you tried wiping the drivers and reinstalling?

[Francesco]

Try calibrating the battery, however you need to open the laptop to do so, and that may void the warranty.

1) charge it to 100%

2)disconnect the battery

3) connect the battery, turn it on and check the battery %, if it’s 100% there`s another problem.

 

Also you can try running the battery test with windows

launch the command prompt with administrator rights and digit       powercfg -energy

or in windows powershell powercfg /batteryreport
