Posted a few times before, last time it was £191, it's dropped a bit more. Metal casing, not plastic, even the screen surround. Battery lasts around 8 hours. Only downside is the touchpad could be better, I know because I have one. Other than that, great bit of kit. The graphics can be tweaked to give 70frames a sec just by increasing the wattage limit, has no real effect on temperature, it's got a decent heatsink.
Personally I would pay the extra and go with the posted deal for the Ezbook 3S with the full sized 256Gb M.2 SSD

The Pro is definitely the better deal over the 3S.

The 3s has a plastic body, where as this has a metal body. 256gb ssd is apx £60, so price is similar but you'd have a metal shell which looks nicer. Also the webcam is at the bottom of the screen on the 3s, odd location. Does the 3s have ac wifi, thought it was single band n using realtek RTL8723B which is a faff on Linux and the bluetooth often kills the wifi strength, the Intel 3165 on the 3Pro is much better.

A 256GB M2 SSD for £60?! Are you sure? Please provide link...
Ordered this about two weeks ago, not shipped yet, got in touch with them and they said it should be shipping on 20-23rd Aug. Fingers crossed. Managed to get it for £149 with a code. Still hot tho and as the op said, with the tdp tweak, you can actually get some decent performance with lower end games!

Mine took 3 weeks to ship but that was because it hadn't been released, once they shipped it, it a couple of weeks to receive it.

This is definitely weaker.

The CPU will be about twice as fast but not sure about the GPU performance. Don't expect much as this has about half the wattage I think.

You can increase performance with a simple mod. HERE There are some benchmarks on their YouTube channel.

what was it though? how come you didn't feel like sharing the deal when you found it?

It was the deal here. That he found, and had already shared and didn't work when I tried it. Guess reading is harder than assuming I was holding out on you.

You need to be signed in for the code to work. Just tried it, still works.

Sounds about right. So many of their codes either don't work or actually increase the price.
