I'm here with my top three laptop pick here for 2017 now this is the
budget laptop segment so all these models have the same chipset in them
it's the Intel Celeron in 3450 the Apolo 8:1 and these two models here have six
gigabytes of RAM so we have the chewy lap book 12.3 here with its surface pro
screen so you can see why it looks a little bit square because it has a three
by two aspect ratio then we have the jumper easy book three pro here with a
sixteen by nine screen which is IPS matte-coated and then we have a glossy
screen here on the chewy lap book here this is also 16 by 9 aspect ratio 1080p
IPS and other similarities between these models here they all have wireless AC
the Intel 3165 chipset battery capacity on all these is about the same so 37 36
watt hours on all of these models here although I found that in my testing that
the laptop 12.3 because of the high resolution screen it has that surface
pro screen very nice screen by the way it is the best out of all these models
and the best will probably find in any budget laptop the screen on here but the
battery life of course is impacted by that screen resolution so you get it
around 6 to 7 hours you lose about an hour battery life on this particular
model now as an instrument we've got 6 gigabytes of RAM on these two so this
one here has 8 gigabytes so if you must have 8 gigabytes of RAM this is the only
model that is out so far of the Apollo Lake series and the budget notebook
something looking at with the 8 gigabytes it's also the only one with a
backlit keyboard and other similarities between these three models are they have
the power limits in the BIOS unlocked with the latest bias update on the lap
book 12.3 here and they actually opened up that option which is really good that
allows us to boost the performance of the mainly the integrated graphics gets
the benefit from that but it also increases temperatures they've got
copper heat sinks and at these to this one I think it just got a 10 heat sink
so you might have to do my copper heatsink mod on it anyway we also have
SSD hatches on them so on the bottom of this there's a little hatch on all of
these models here so you can install your own 22 by 42 mm
SSD which really boosts the improve performance there and of course you can
increase the your storage capacity now this model here you can see because it's
got the glossy screen you're going to get reflections so if you're someone
that's going to using a screen outdoors I highly recommend to go for of course
the anti glare screens you get on these ones so that narrows down your choice
then to something like the in the lab book 12.3 now these models here they
have the same amount of ports on them too so we've got 2 USB 3 ports on all
three of these models again similar and the keyboards using them I would say
that the best keyboard would actually probably be this one right here the
laptop 12.3 I find it as just a little bit nicer to type on very firm 2 as well
the jumper easy book isn't too bad either it's not a bad cable considering
the price of this I'll get on to prices in just a second and then the backlit
keyboard worth about 1.5 millimeters of travel the most travel is on this Chui
lap book ear right here now touch pads we have precision touch pads on these
two models so the easy book 3 Pro and the Chui lap book ear making the touch
pads far superior to this one that you have on Chuy's 12.3 that book sorry
version here they've got the netbook 12.3 getting myself a little bit
confused here and so that means that this touch pad really isn't the best
I mean it's average to use it's okay it is usable I find that I can get away
with using it but finer more accurate movements with the touch pad you would
evenly notice it compared to the likes of the the precision ones with Windows
driver seating so you can actually tweak the gestures on there you can disable
them when you plug in an external mouse so you can have it automatically disable
the touch pad and things like that so tweaks like that are really quite good
ok so now when it comes to price there is a big difference so the most highly
well SPECT model here with a backlit keyboard 8 gigabytes of RAM and 120
gigabyte SSD sorry emmc that has on this one this is retailing for approximately
360 to 370 us which is a lot of money considering the type of chipset this has
it's not even a corium 3 I mean there's a quad core that it's got on there but
it is just good for light tasks the cell run in 34
50s they're not for video editing they're not really for gaming but they
can play older or lighter titles like league of legends or doctor to even
doesn't run too well but counter-strike you lower the resolution and put on the
last settings then you can get playable frame rates especially when you turn off
the power limits on there so it opens out the performance and then it comes to
my actual pic what I would go for is this one here of course the jumper is
eBook 3 pro now this is retailing currently
for around 219 to 229 us meaning it's the cheapest and then the amazing screen
that we have in the lap book 12.3 this one's selling for about 260 us so and 70
us so is it worth paying that if should to get that screen but then of course
you've got the worst touchpad the battery life is slightly less but
overall yeah with these three models you can't really go to wrong with them I
think because I'd only testing they really have been the best and as I said
a beginning that's why I've hang on to these three here so hopefully this video
just gives you an idea of what to expect out of these and which one is best for
your needs so quickly recap here if you need 8 gigabytes of RAM and a backlit
keyboard then it is of course the let book ear but it's the most expensive and
if you must have the best screen that stunning surface book for the surface
pro 4 sorry and the surface pro screen then that is in this model right here
the lap book 12.3 and then the all-rounded model and the cheapest model
of course is the easy book 3 pro here I have many videos on this particular
model so check that out in the channel and also check out my full reviews of
these two here thanks so much for watching this very quick short
