The Jumper EZBook X1 is a great laptop, but the Teclast F5 is a better option at a lower price, with a 128GB SSD, twice the RAM, and support for an active stylus . However, the 2-in-1 convertible is stunning to look at. Convertible laptops are now mainstream, and touchscreen functionality is not only popular, but a desirable feature on spec lists. Windows 8 started this trend, but Windows 10 makes multitouch a useful thing rather than a gimmick (like 3D).
Jumper is the latest Chinese manufacturer to try out the style, made popular by Lenovo and its near-legendary Yoga series. The EZBook X1 sent to us has a specific selling point; it’s one of the very few convertibles with a screen smaller than 12 inches diagonally, making it the true successor to the once mighty netbook dynasty. In some ways, the EZBook X1 is better than the design it inspired. It features an all-metal chassis with some plastic parts, making it feel more premium than the Yoga 2 11. The right side of the device houses a host of ports (USB Type C connector, micro USB, micro HDMI), a microSD card slot, two side-firing speakers, and two microphones. Aside from the Intel Gemini Lake CPU powering the Jumper X1, the laptop’s other notable hardware feature is the odd combination of eMMC storage (64GB) with a 64GB removable solid-state drive. Even more surprising is that the OS runs on slower eMMC storage rather than the faster SSD, although this is tinkerable if you know how.
Note that the Jumper EZBook X1 comes with a micro USB Type-C 24W (2A, 12V) power supply unit that can be used to charge some newer smartphones. Alternatively, you can charge your laptop (or trickle charge) using almost any Type- C connector/charger. We tried plugging the Type-C cable into a USB port on another laptop and it worked. The EZBook X1 is a very likeable convertible laptop. The keyboard is surprisingly pleasant considering how small this product actually is. The keys are smaller than expected, but they offer good bounce even if the key travel is a bit too shallow for our liking. The only other issue we encountered was the size of the Enter key: we would have preferred a smaller right Shift key. Considering its price , we weren’t expecting miracles from the 11.6-inch FHD IPS model’s screen. It’s covered in a non-oleophobic glass panel, which glare increases, affects display contrast, and makes it difficult to use in bright sunlight, especially since it’s a fingerprint magnet even with the brightness slider pushed to the max.
When playing a YouTube video using Windows’ optimal performance settings, maximum brightness, and most importantly preventing the system from shutting down, dimming, or turning off the display, the EZBook X1 lasted a disappointing 2 hours and 50 minutes. Somehow, Jumper managed to squeeze the 26.6Whr Jumper EZBook X1 laptop batteryinto a very small space. Not many convertible laptops offer this set of features in this price range. The Lenovo IdeaPad 110S has an even worse hardware setup, with the only standout being the 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365.
If you can live with Google’s Chrome OS, Dell’s Inspiron Chromebook 11 2-in-1 convertible laptop is an attractive alternative at $299.99, and more importantly, it’s a rugged device. It can withstand some serious abuse and is equipped with proper full-size ports.
HP is one of the major computer brands that offers more attractive models, and as long as the operating system isn’t an issue, we prefer the $389 HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE. While it has a slower Celeron CPU, it comes with twice the RAM (8GB) and a full array of ports, as well as two years of 100GB Google Drive storage.
The best alternative to the Jumper EZBook X1 remains the Teclast F5. It’s much cheaper at $300 and comes with a 128GB SSD, eliminating the problem of having two separate storage components. It also has twice the memory (8GB) and even a stylus.
Business needsAside from the usual caveats associated with buying products from mainland China (as well as the usual support headaches), the Teclast F5 is actually a better choice thanks to the extra memory, support for an active stylus, Unified storage structure and cheaper price tag.
Given that the EZBook X1 shares the same hardware spec sheet, the EZBook X1 doesn’t have much going for it (it’s not inherently a bad product). This form factor is attractive for those looking for a cheaper alternative to the Microsoft Surface Go tablet with keyboard cover.
