Teclast Taipower X3 PLUS Unpack upgrade SSD

Teclast X3 Plus Two-in-One Tablet Win10 11.6 Inch (Intel Apollo Lake 6G+64G 1920x1080 Without Keyboard) 1649 Yuan Jingdong Direct Link

Reasons to purchase

We always wanted a portable computer that could be easily taken out of the office. Its use was limited to mobile office work, which facilitated the presentation of drawings and drawing drafts. Of course iPad is very good, but iOS is still inconvenient in the production office, always need a grounding WIN10 computer. After watching the WWDC2017 release of the new iPad Pro, just Jingdong this began to promote, and quickly ordered this X3 PLUS

In addition, the new generation of Apollo Lake has added SATA support. Compared with the previous generation of processors, the company can only use emmc. If it supports SSD, the system fluency can be improved. Due to the CPU's upgraded architecture, performance has improved by 30% and power consumption has remained largely unchanged. Through Baidu, this motherboard is known to have reserved M.2 interface, ready to upgrade SSD.

Unpacking

Before Taipower was born MP4, so the production of notebooks is also done by the large MP4 way, not to mention limited by the cost, please be sure to price 2,000 yuan, rather than the Sophie's 4000 starting price

In fact, there is a large cardboard box outside Jingdong. I thought it was a box of paper that I bought, but when it came to such a small box, the packaging was a bit wasteful. Look at the appearance of this box is actually very tall, texture is also good, as if the 2000 bought 4,000 pieces of the feeling, but the next figure immediately back to the original shape

This texture, I thought it was Taobao 9.9 free keyboard This keyboard is sold 249

Then there is a charger in the computer box. I think the purchase manager must have received a rebate. Otherwise, replacing the charger with TYPE-C will definitely charge the next level. The cost should be similar.

Appearance Gallery

The appearance of the benevolent sees ren, 2,000 can get the essence of Sophie, I feel very good. With a 11.6-inch FHD screen, the viewing angle can be as fine as 170°. The rear bracket has only 2 gear angle adjustments. Although it is an IPS screen, the color gamut is only 54% sRGB. If you do not look at the back of the Taipower logo, it is very difficult to distinguish between it and Sophie. (Tucao MIX photographed is really residue, completely inferior to P9)

Because it is a cheap IPS screen, commonly known as the big gray screen, there are also a large border around, so the effect can not be said to be amazing, can only say enough. The brightest light is definitely not as good as the new iPad Pro. If it is used to display pictures, it is recommended to iPad Pro.

The interface has a standard USB 3.0, a micro-usb, a 3.5mm interface, and a DC charging port. This charging port is difficult to distinguish from the headset interface. Feel like a new product, without TPYE-C but micro-usb is a bit weird. This micro-usb can't be used for charging, really when it's a large mp4 connected to a computer to save small videos


Keyboard feel

The keyboard feels good, at least better than the first-generation Sophie keyboard I've used. However, the touchpad is small and it is easy to misuse. In addition, when you suck up the keyboard, use your hand to lift the screen. The magnetic force of this keyboard is not very strong, and the keyboard will fall off instead of lifting it along with the screen. Of course, this shows the keyboard is quite heavy from another side.

Performance experience

Feel the raw performance with a GIF and compare my desktop

Desktop is still able to fight 5 years E3 1230V3, the system disk is Toshiba Q300, 16G memory, this configuration is not top, but the boot is fast enough, the office does not know how to compare cards, Taipower this one in one boot really very slow

But when you boot up, open a wps and the like, the speed is almost

Run a CPU-Z test, you can see that the basic and the current core Duo E8500 almost, but the N3450, after all, only 6W of power consumption, usually run at 1.1GHz frequency

Compared to the E3-1230v3 fighting for another 5 years, after all, the price of a single CPU is quickly catching up with an X3 PLUS.

Basically, the new CPU of the Taipower X3 is used for office work fast enough. Its performance is equivalent to that of mainstream desktops in 2008, not to mention power consumption. Next, disassemble the SSD to see if it will bring much change

Disassemble upgrade SSD

Remove the 12 screws on the back and take it apart. The upper part of the screen is a plastic snap that can be opened with a little force. On the right is the DIY Unlicensed M.2 2242 SSD that Taobao bought. The capacity is 256G.

After dismantling, there will be a blank in the lower left corner, which is the legendary M2 interface motherboard and screen together, the back is a shell

You can see magnets around the back to hold the keyboard.

Plug in the purchased SSD, both positive and negative can be successfully inserted, Baidu has more positive about the chip. This fixing screw is very small, and the seller's screw is definitely not on. Looking for a while, Taipower is very close to give you a spare screw.

On the edge is an antenna, pay attention to tear the black tape, put the antenna back. Try out the antenna can not be pressed by the SSD, only pick the SSD above. Tighten the screw and stick the tape, just like the original

But plastic snaps will break one foot when they are removed. This is a fate.

Try can not light and then screw (I was a light) and then reinstall the system to the SSD, and then look at the boot contrast it

Without comparison, there is no harm. After changing the SSD, the power of the Taipower X3 has been faster than my desktop computer. (The desktop computer will open the opportunity to self-check, the screen is not immediately lighted, and the actual sides are loose at the same time), look again before I have already let Taipower first get started.

Let's take a look at the test results. This is the newly added SSD score.

This is the original built-in eMMC storage

All of these are extended SSD rolling mills with built-in eMMCs. As a result, the replacement of SSDs brings a qualitative improvement and system fluency is greatly improved.

to sum up

With the principle of buying new products instead of buying them, it is recommended that comrades with lighter office needs choose the next-generation CPU. If you do not want to spend too much money on a mobile standby, Taipower X3 PLUS is really a good choice for 2,000 yuan. For office, fast enough CPU, large enough 6G memory, scalable SSD, 24880mWh battery life enough, full HD resolution, really nothing to pick.

The disadvantages are also obvious, the cost causes the screen to be not good enough, cannot be charged through USB, there is no new generation TYPE-C interface. Of course, in the 2,000 yuan stall, the fish and bear's paw can not have both, there is a higher budget, a new generation of Sophie is really a good choice.
