Jumper EZbook X3 Review: Ancient technology meets wobbly chassis


Some money just isn't worth spending. | Naturally, a small amount of money only gets you a small amount of notebook. Jumper's creation, which they are selling for well under $300, cannot shine in any area. The weak workmanship, bad input devices and slow hardware are something we wouldn't wish on anybody.

There's a new offer in the low-cost segment: The Jumper EZBook X3 is currently available for $250 and even has a Windows license. It is equipped with an old Intel Celeron N3350 processor - the rest of its hardware seems fairly up to date: an anti-glare IPS Full-HD display and an M.2 2280 slot for expanding storage capacity. What more could you want for a price like this?
The competition in the price segment below $300 is far and between. Manufacturers that address the low-cost segment do so with very few models only. There are some Medion and Lenovo devices, as well as LincPlus. The Akoya E4253 is most promising from a technological perspective - its Pentium N5000 processor is more modern and faster than the Celeron versions in other devices. The cheapest competitor is the IdeaPad Slim 1-14AST-05, whose performance, however, is not a lot better than that of our test unit (A6-9220e). Chuwi LapBook Pro and LincPlus P1 both have a better quad-core SoC and a reflective Full-HD IPS display.
