EZbook X3 6GB

I bought this for my daughter who's at Uni when her laptop unexpectedly died. This is a great price for a laptop that can run Windows 10 and office, though you need to be aware that the CPU is basic and will top out at a drop of a hat. However, it's great for office applications and even Excel runs ok though I wouldn't try too many business-style complex spreadsheets on it. Basic statistics and charting would work tough. It will also run movies and surf the internet without any problems - just don't leave too many browser tabs open at once. It's really light and convenient and the screen quality is great. My daughter has been using it for a week nw and reports no problems when using it for essays and note-taking. One thing: the network adapter is 2.4Ghz only which means it will not see any wireless networks in the 5Ghz spectrum. To counter that, I added a TP Link Nano adapter which plugs into one of the two USB ports and it small enough to be able to stay there permanently without any issues. Highly recommended word processing laptop for uni and school.

This is faster than I expected. The screen quality is a lot better than my previous laptop, that was purchased for around the same price. The colour of the image doesn’t change with the angle of the screen. Although, the colours could be brighter, as I find myself trying to turn the brightness up higher than it allows at times. Nice and lightweight and a good size for carrying around in my bag. The issues I’ve found are with the storage (as advertised you don’t get very much) which is expected for how inexpensive it is, and the track pad got stuck down when I first used it - although I haven’t experienced this since.

I'm frankly pretty stunned at what you can get for the money these days. This little laptop is so fast and the screen is super sharp! There are (nearly) no compromises, it's all bang for little buck. Speed: Chrome launches instantly, and it breezes through surfing the web (and at 6gb of ram, even Chrome won't eat it all, hurray!) It will run 1080p videos on YouTube no problem (though I didn't think to check if it was 60fps or not), though as with all of these laptops without a "proper" graphics card, going from normal mode to full screen video mode takes a couple of seconds to do. You probably won't be playing modern games on it, at least it wouldn't be a terrific experience if you tried. I'd like to test that theory properly but I bought it as a gift and don't want to install a bunch of stuff on it. But then it's not built for that, it's clearly a web browser and light work machine, working with Microsoft Office for example, and for that it really... excels (ba dum tsh!). SSD: The emmc SSD makes booting a lot faster than it would be with a HDD, and just general usage of Windows is a zippy, low latency experience. It's honestly pretty comparable to my desktop computer with 8gb of ram and an i3-7100 processor. The emmc SSD being 64GB is large enough for Windows and a few apps. I would consider it to be the minimum size required these days, as windows itself takes about 20GB of that and then another 8GB for updates, so straight out the gate you're going to lose about half the disk size to just running it. For that reason, I'd steer clear of any 32GB models. An additional bonus is the m.2 slot, which means there's a potential to make things even faster by swapping to a proper SSD if you have the know-how, or at least have extra space for files if this is your only computer. Note that emmc SSDs are not as fast as normal SSDs, but in this instance I doubt you could tell, everything runs perfectly fast. Screen: The screen is smaller than I would usually go for myself, but oddly due to the impressively sharp and bright display, it doesn't really "look" small. If your choice is between this and a 14.3" Fusion 5 laptop, having used them both I'd go for this personally, but your mileage may vary. The speakers don't seem to be as bad as they are on the Fusion 5 either, but you'd be getting a slightly smaller keyboard. Build: Some people are saying it's brushed metal, I don't think that's the case, I think it's just good quality plastic that's made to look that way, but the whole thing feels very solidly built. It's not heavy by any stretch, but it's not feather light either. I didn't spend a lot of time typing on it, but the keyboard isn't horrible, and they include a silicone protector mat to put over your keys if you want that. The one issue I have is the touchpad has a tendency to jump the cursor to the bottom left of the screen when you press it down where you'd expect the left mouse button to be. It could well be that you're not supposed to click in this way at all, so I stopped doing it and just used the "double tap" method which works fine. I'm a little concerned the touchpad is defective on my unit, but the person I bought it for will be using a mouse exclusively anyway, so I'm not too bothered. Otherwise the touchpad is fine, you can also use the touchpad as a scroll wheel by using two fingers at once. Cons: Other than the touchpad issue, there's the fact that there's no ethernet port, so you'll either have to use wireless only, or get a usb adapter. Thankfully the USB is 3.0, so it should be fast enough that it won't bottleneck your speeds if you go that route. There's also the HDMI port that is mini-HDMI, which some people claim is more fragile that full size HDMI, and usually means sticking an ugly adapter into it which will make it even more fragile... so be careful with it! Conclusion: For this price range, it's amazing. if you're in the market for a cheap laptop that will run web, video and light desktop apps like Microsoft office, maybe Ableton or Cubase, that sort of thing, this should be perfect for your needs.

So I bought this because it was cheap and lets be honest, no one is trying to spend hundreds of pounds on a laptop when they just need it for small tasks and stuff. Anyways when it came in, it was perfect I was very pleased, ran pretty good and no problems, however it all went downhill. I was watching YouTube and then all of a sudden the screen froze, I sat there confused and dazed, then all corners of the screen began to change colour, to a dark brown and basically consume the screen until fully black. I found out that this brand of laptop has this recurring problem where the screen would go black and not display any images, this is a problem with the keyboard and the connection to the screen. I took it to a tech shop and they said it is cheaply made and it's best if I return it. The screen froze and went black in the first 3 days of me having it!!!! Thank god it didn't happen months down the line as it did for some people. Just don't get it because it will happen eventually, the brand doesn't connect the keyboard properly with the screen which causes this problem.

If you are looking for a super mobility laptop (1kg only), with limited budget, good for travelling with and office work. This is your best buddy! Made-in-China is superb. Come on, China, produce more of this type of products and outshine the rest of the world. It is not running as fast as a Dell XPS 13 or any other top spec, top brand laptop. For under £200, you are not expecting that realistically. Do buy a 42mm (not 80mm, otherwise you have to open the whole back cover to fit it) SATA SSD (Transcend brand does this product). Do some BIOS configuration to change the boost sequence, you can boost it even faster from the new SSD with a larger hard drive (I bought a 240GB in my case). The original eMMC can be used as extra storage space. This laptop has a slot to accommodate a micro SD, I put in a 128GB one (£12.99 from Amazon). In total, you have 433GB space now....Da da....! Battery one charge last about 5-6hrs, can be fully charged again within 1hr 40mins. The charger is about double weight of apple IPAD charger, which is much slimmer than many of the Dell XPS laptop charger. Overall travel weight i assume is about 1.20kg including charger. It can be neatly hidden in any handbag. All in all, a happy purchase and more than value for money. Highly recommended!

It arrived well packaged however the protective sticker across the top literally peeled the paint off the logo, so it looks used right out of the box. Which is less than ideal. You could literally see the paint on the peeled sticker As pictured. It is light weight. It is a bit on the slower side. It’s a decent laptop on a very very very tight budget. It’s got a mini HDMI, SD card slot and 2 USB ports. Easy setup, I’d imagine it’s a good first laptop for a child. The camera is appalling so I’ll stick to iphone when Skyping. I needed a laptop quick and cheaply to get some very important work down from home and it fit the bill. If your working with the same low budget, it’s a 3/4 star but if you have a few dollars to spend it’s going to feel like a 1/2 star laptop. After using for a full day we noticed a dead pixel in the screen, it was very noticeable so we returned it.

I bought this for my daughter as a gift for Christmas. She needed a basic laptop to use for school work and social media. This one fits my budget very well. What I like this product are the following: - the screen display is great and sharp enough but does not have the sharpness of my well-known brand (understandable tho) I still would say that it's decent enough. - the USB ports works fine. - it has the basic options for its setting like keyboard preference. language - MS office works well as it's the program my daughter needs. - I had no problem connecting it with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - the speakers are clear and decent to watch a video/movie - it is portable and light-weight. Another reason why I purchased it. Won't be a hassle to carry it around. I attached a video which shows that it started in less than 1 min. After comparing it with other brands in the market with the same specs/range, I would say that for basic laptop, I highly recommended as it meets my budget and specs I look for.

I needed a laptop very quickly. As a teacher currently working from home and in school this laptop is perfect for video calls, is light weight for carrying about, a perfect fit for inside my handbag and seems to be working smoothly and efficiently. Battery life isn't the longest but I have been using it a lot. I also liked that it came with a keyboard cover, easily removed and washed and stops anything getting stuck in the actual keys. Overall a good budget laptop that I can use for work.
