I think I saw that they would get more about the 20th October..

Ordered on 05/09 and still not dispatched.

It already comes with English and the drivers are here.

As far as adding windows to the SSD, use the windows media creation tool. Having fitted it you need to format it with disc management, then restart with the media USB you created plugged in and keep pressing the esc key to enter the bios, change the number '1' boot device in the bios to the USB media tool. My only confusion was guessing which windows to pick when it was all finished, it gave option 1 or 4, didn't know which was the eMMC and which was the SSD.

I was looking to add English windows, ssd and sort out the drivers. Anything else I should pay attention to? It's for my daughter.

What specifically were you upgrading?

taking the pee they were! I ordered two tablets at the same time but were saying oct 15-22, cancelled

Ordered on 6th September - still processing. Was told on 13th that expected dispatch would be 30th. Now being told it's 20th October, yet, as of yesterday, new orders had an expected dispatch of 17-21st October. How can that make sense?

It looks to me like orders placed at a higher price are being pushed to the front of the queue.

I used a program called driver booster that sorted everything out including the mouse thing

Is there a comprehensive guide anywhere on upgrading these?

really impressed by this piece of kit for price, once get right drivers it functions really well

So now the wonderful Yodel have informed me that my package has likely been stolen from their Gatwick depot. Apparently it’s entirely up to me now to arrange redelivery from GearBest who won’t even discuss this with me until 04/10/17. Really poor on the part of both Yodel and GearBest (but especially Yodel...)

Cancelled my order sick of waiting

Mine never arrived on the 29th. Yodel just turned the status from out for delivery to back to at depot very late at night.

I live in a popular residential area. It’s not as though they would have struggled to find me. Very likely there are yodel deliveries every day.

But at least I thought, back at the depot. The site now said it would be delivered Monday.

Just checked their website and now it says it was delivered today (Sunday 1:38pm) Delivery status left in “shed.”

There is no card pushed through the door! I only know because I checked tracking.
I’ve checked the shed and every bin possible and with the neighbours. Nothing.

I didn’t even think yodel delivery on Sunday. What is going on?
What can I do?

hurrah came today was very sluggish when first opened ... used summat called driver booster and perked the beast up and now looks like a real bargain

Esc key gets me into the bios (mine delivered by yodel today as well, must have had a pallet of them! And it came from a UK address 'thousand shores').

I backed up the drivers from the original install first and put them on a usb stick to use once I did a fresh install of Windows on a m.2 ssd I also bought and installed, basically the things that didn't get detected automatically were the realtek audio and some intel system specific items (chipset and display related things I think).

Touchpad seems much better after a fresh install.

How to backup drivers: thewindowsclub.com/exp…ell

Like many others mine was delivered today too. Requesting some help though.

I too had the spyware so it's being reset now. When it's done will I have to reinstall drivers? The touchpad and WiFi didn't perform very well from the limited time I used it - are there specific drivers which will sort this issue out?.

I seem to have a issue with the bios loading up upon every restart, seems like a key is stuck - which key would need to be pressed to load the bios?

Thanks.

Just delivered, that was a surprise, V4... Let's see if it works..

Same.. Mine it out for delivery too! I would like to do the same regarding SSD and reinstall windows. Complete novice so any pointers would be great :blush:

Same... Out for delivery today

which ssd should I buy, are they easy to install? do I have to resintall windows or will it be OK in current state.

Mine out for delivery today as well.

I won't be in, but hey - can't have everything :grin:

Great to hear, I've installed 256gb SSD in mine and done a fresh install of Windows, (had to install audio and graphics drivers manually but I'm not sure if the correct touchpad driver got installed for v4 ). I've kept the windows on the built in memory for backup.

Just refreshed my Yodel tracking link and now it is at the Yodel Depot as of 6pm today :sweat_smile:

I have an expected delivery of October 2nd. Not quite there yet but feeling more positive now :grin:

Don't bother trying to get this - I put in my order back on 7th.
Order has been "processing" since, and its now the end of the month.

After 2 support tickets and 2 sets of "we'll get them in 3-7 business days, honest guv", I've pretty much gone for a refund.

Nice of them to take orders when they have zero stock, with no ETA. Also, love the "24 hour presales and support" chat room that is disabled during UK time, and it taking 24 hours for them to respond to tickets.

"derisory" you are very kind, i would have said "insulting". They really should get their act together and give honest answers. I have ticket responses confirming it has shipped and also that it is held in customs.I notice that the Gearbest rep has avoided this thread!!!!

Hi,

When I ordered I was expecting mine to take at least a month because of past experiences when ordering with Gearbest. I honestly don't know how they process and ship orders, but mine did not appear straight away on tracking, I got an email on 13/09 to say it was shipped and with the tracking number but it was only the 22/09 that Yodel showed the tracking. Even then it was expected to be delivered on on 22/09 then 25/09 but it kept saying delivery delayed without giving any reason.

However it was delivered to my neighbour yesterday even though the card they posted through the door said we missed you and will try again the next working day 27/09.


yodel.co.uk/tra…278

I'l add my 2p here.....

Ordered on 12th Sept, waiting to processed, I went with DHL del...... sent them a message as to when it will be shipping:

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I told them I would wait but I think I will be looking at 2nd week of October for the bloody thing to arrive! so maybe 4 weeks. Might just cancel it. :angry:

they told me if I didn't have by 4th October would offer refund

It could mean pretty much anything, who knows...

I too got this email, does this mean it's in the UK and will be released on october 1st?

Thankful you got yours mate :thumbsup:

However what I cannot understand is that I ordered a week before you (30th Aug) and had it dispatched a week before you (3rd Sept) and its absolutely no where in site. Also sound like your tracking number worked from the get-go?

As the same with everyone who hasn't received their laptop, I also got the same rather generic email about the customs delay. It states the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------

"We are contacting you with an update to explain the delay with your order.

Unfortunately, due to an unexpected Customs delay, your parcel is currently being processed. We have approached the shipping company to expedite the issue. They have confirmed that the package can be released by October 1, 2017; it will arrive shortly after this.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the matter. As a goodwill gesture and to apologize, we have credited 50 points to your GearBest account on September 22, 2017.

If you require further assistance, please contact us on the GearBest Support Center.

Thank you again for your kind support and continued patience."

------------------------------------------------------------------

What I don't understand is the reference to the shipping company. Is that the company which ships it from China to the UK. Or is Yodel? Looking at my dialogue with Gearbest, they keep referring to Yodel being the problem.

Could it be a case that the item is actually in the UK and Gearbest are telling the truth :thinking:

Ordered on 7/9. Enquired about estimated dispatch. "We expect to ship the item between Oct 5 - Oct 9". Poor.

your very right about the points - just checked and realised I had some credit from a previously aborted order that I still had some left of. The 50 points is a derisory credit - but better than nowt I suppose!

I got mine delivered today, the packaging and box was damaged but luckily the laptop was ok. I did quicky open to check for damage and can confirm it is v4

I've had the same email now, and 50 points added to my account.
I'm pleased they have communicated.

I'm in the same boat. Order supposedly shipped 03/09 but status at far end and with Yodel is that the consignment has been notified but not collected. Chase Gearbest repeatedly, but just get the 'please be patient" message. Latest ticket update made some comment that DHL is faster than regular delivery!!!! DHL is no faster if Gearbest don't ship. I too have the email mentioned above.

To add insult to injury, I think 50 points == $1 not £6.50

I have never had this sort of problem with Banggood.

Yes, that's the one... Just have to wait and see if we get a decent v4..

I had exactly this email - and they gave me 50 points (less than a pound) in value for the inconvenience (mine was 'dispatched on the 3rd Sept and tracking is 'with sender' or some such vagueness) - now normally I would relish having some credit with a retailer but now I have to order something from Gearbest to use that and I don't find them the best at dispatch - probably be less cynical when I get the laptop ;-)

Was your email along these lines? "Unfortunately, due to an unexpected Customs delay, your parcel is currently being processed. We have approached the shipping company to expedite the issue. They have confirmed that the package can be released by October 1, 2017; it will arrive shortly after this."

Got email today saying it will arrive after start of October... Guess they have just got them in stock....

New code out JEZB3PIT

I ordered mine on the 31st August and I've got the same problem.Yodel says parcel is still with sender :disappointed:

I ordered on the 30/08/17... Dispatched 03/09/17 and still not arrived. Delivery quote was 7-10 working days and its been 15 working days.

When trying the tracking number on Yodel it says parcel is still with sender. Been in contact with Customer Services however not getting my hopes up at all :angry:

I ordered on the 06/09/17, dispatched 13/09/17 as delivery expected on or before 25/09/27 according to Yodel website.

How long has everyone else been waiting for delivery? My Ezbook was dispatched on 04/09/2017 so 18 days ago (14 working days) my dispatch email advises 7-10 working days.

Thanks for the help.
I just no so little about all of these. Hope someone can point out which would be better .
Thanks again for the reply

I was just wondering if a Chromebook would be more suitable, as many schools use them, might be worth finding out first before paying out. 2nd hand barely used chromebooks can be had for £60.

Which one would you choose?

Thanks for the reply also

It'll do everything she'd need for school work without a problem.

I've got the same thing, mine shows 'awaiting collection' since start of Sept, but they assure me its on the way...


Strange how thinking has changed compared to my original post of the Jumper ezbook 3 pro at -88:
hotukdeals.com/dea…014
or for that matter the Chuwi Lapbook
hotukdeals.com/dea…074

Guys wondering can someone help me as I have no idea about computers etc.
My daughter is in primary 7 and wants a laptop or small notebook for her homework eta for secondary school next year. (Think that's the name)
Would this ezbook 3 pro be a good buy?
Or iv seen a lenovo x230 i7 for around £200.
Tho it's 5 years old seems to get great reviews still.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Which would be better?

That's weird. I ordered on 7th September and it dispatched this morning.

I ordered on 6th Sep & it's also on 'processing', the dispatch estimate is 30th Sep according to customer services.

I'm not very clued up on these things, it's glossy with excellent viewing angles if that helps?

Is the screen TN or IPS?

Any thoughts on this as a replacement charger? 12V 2.25A with a 3.5mm barrel connector like the stock charger. The only thing I can't find is the cable length... cpc.farnell.com/pro…689



Bought this: amazon.co.uk/Swi…lug works a treat and much longer than the original charger and no need for a plug adapter :smile:

The 3L Pro seems decent enough! Reinstalled Windows onto a 256Gb SSD and everything is running smoothly once Idisabled the touch blocker program! The display is a particular highlight coming from a non-full HD laptop :grin:

Mine is taking a lifetime to dispatch from gear best. Now a week and still ''processing''

Nice one thank you! Disabled the blocker software as a quick fix and it's much improved. Will try some of the other tweaks tomorrow.

Some talk of Jumper laptops coming with some touchpad blocker software that can be uninstalled and perhaps different drivers can improve the touchpad: techtablets.com/for…ro/

My 3L Pro arrived today, fantastic build, bottom M2 hatch and good keyboard.Small problem with the mouse jumping around a bit on the screen, any ideas?

I got b*gg*erall via tracking and kept going back to customer services who continually said it was en-route and to be patient.....and then it suddenly arrived on my doorstep..... :nerd:

I think my tracking is as equally useless, doing a quick Google it seems the tracking info is not worth looking at, just wait (and wait) for that suprise parcel :-)

this is surreal two weeks after posting I have a tracking ref with yodel who say they haven't received the parcel from sender yet. risk of overseas purchases I guess, just got phone from china without any issues

I'll report back when it arrives :grin:

It seems to infer some issues with the keyboard and the screen possibly (and only possibly) being TN and not IPS - but if not then it should be good - same but larger screen - fingers crossed for you :-)

I had seen that thread already, don't see any deal breakers in there?

I think you may want to read this thread: techtablets.com/for…ro/

My 3L Pro has finally shipped from Geekbuying, arriving on Wednesday so Im hoping its as good as the 3 Pro V4. £4 customs fee from DHL :thumbsup:

Hi. No, how would they 'ensure' it gets all around the world to you without some kind of insurance? They wouldn't pay that, hence the option to add insurance. With any purchase from China having a faulty item is a risk as your responsible for the costs to ship back to them which may be relativly high compared to the cost of the item; especially if they then say its not faulty. Buyer beware - no regulations or consumer protection laws to help you.

The add-on offer is to 'encourage' you to buy something else at a discount....

Generally if you choose a courier servcie as opposed to a free (and slow) postal service then your 'more likely' to incur import costs - but that's not guaranteed. Again buyer beware.

See previous deal. Item 3 in OP: hotukdeals.com/dea…333

Do you need to pay the insured option?
Surely it's down to them to ensure it arrives

What's the add on offer?

What post did people use to avoid import tax?

What kind of M2 SSD is this compatible with? There seem so many varieties...

With regards to replacing the OS with a fresh install of Win10...
What does the activation status say when you go to "Settings > Update&Security > Activation?
I assume it's activated by digital entitlement/license.
Also I'd suggest you run license status manager from command prompt (slmgr /dlv) to make sure that it's not licensed through a (non-genuine) KMS server. If it's OEM or retail then I think it should reactivate itself once you're reconnected to the Internet.
Of course, as you guys have already mentioned, just ghost it in case anything goes wrong.

not noticed that....no.

Are you thinking about buying a replacement charger. I agree the one supplied is crap.

Has anyone else noticed that part of the bottom of this thing is magnetic?

Ah brilliant thank you.

I haven't but personally I would grab the win10 image from Microsoft (Google "win 10 media creation tool") and do a reinstall after swapping the boot order of the media in the uefi bios. The win10 key is embedded in the uefi so you shouldn't need to worry about that - if any issues with that then contact the seller.

Regarding this specific laptop, has anyone had any issues installing a M2 SSD and cloning the EMMC to it? It will be my first time doing something like this when I receive it as I want a faster and bigger drive

thanks

I bought one of these last week for £187 - chose 'Euro Express' postage (free) and it arrived in 6 days, with no customs payable (came by DPD). I'm really, really impressed with it. 6.5-9.5 hours of battery life, depending on use (lower is mostly video, higher mostly just normal web use).
I love how thin and small this is. To put it into perspective, it's 1/3 of the thickness, half the weight and about the same width/height as my Acer Switch 10 tablet, which has a 10" screen and is plastic! It seems fast enough (faster than my 8GB RAM / I3 processor HP laptop), it's great that it's all metal. Really premium look and feel - insane at this price!
I also love the screen - viewing angles are terrific and it's super bright and sharp. Exceptional at this price point. Trackpad is acceptable to good - I definitely don't think this V4 has the same one that people have had all the issues with. It's a rougher texture, which takes a little getting used to, but actually allows better grip / accuracy IMO.
All in all, I have no complaints (apart from the fact it has a Euro charger with a flimsy UK adapter chucked into the outer packaging), and I would say this is one of the best bargains I've bought in a while.

Thanks but I've tried tweaking every setting associated with the wifi chip and no real improvement.

I think there's a fault with the chip itself or the antennae - speeds fluctuate from dog slow to virtually unusable - I got 2Mbps (0.25MB/s) on speedtest.net this morning!!

Gearbest is fine, but very slow on delivery though. Ordered twice from them and both times the delivery has taken 3-4 weeks to arrive.

Windows reinstalled fine. Done it on mine no problems at all, trackpad works fine just lower the sensitivity and disable unnecessary gestures. Its a very good laptop for the price, you wont get a better laptop for this price. Design is really good for this price, highly recommended and as for gearbest they are very good with the taxes just mark it as a gift item on paypal

Have you seen this? h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/…504

This email link still comes out at £169.89:

m.gearbest.com/lap…Q==

ordered for £177 as the offer has ended. Let’s see how it goes

Just a few questions:

How do you know that it's the v4 that I'll get?

Will I be able to install a VPN? Planning on being in China for a year soon.

Is it possible to transfer files larger than the available space in the laptop between USB memory sticks/hard drives? I.e. can I send 200gb of data through one flash drive to another?

Intel wifi card on this looks like its soldered (bottom right) so no chance of swapping it out for something else....

Sorry to spam. The update has sorted my touchpad issues so maybe it'll sort your wifi issues too?

edit- not sorted it completely but made a drastic difference.

Interestingly the update included drivers for a pointing device.

Yeah probably for the best. The copy of Windows Home is activated anyway it seems and I've linked it to my microsoft account.

Would it not be possible to ghost the current image using Macrium Reflect or Acronis and then go back to it if a fresh Windows installation doesn't work?

It's a shame I agree. Got the serial number through the command prompt and I'm tempted to reinstall windows but am a little reluctant in case it doesn't get accepted.

My Wifi card definitely seems faulty then. Either that or the antennas... :angry:

Not impressed. Shame really, because if the Wifi card was providing decent speeds, I could live with this laptop - its fine as a portable light usage machine.

also sadly the updates are now stuck at 22%, can't seem to be able to download the first two above or maybe they're just quite large and coming from servers in China lol.

Yep sounds like it. Speed test is giving me about 55mbit down and 9 up which is about right.

Looks like the QC on these is a bit 'hit and miss' - you've got a dodgy trackpad and I've got a dodgy wifi card! :angry:

Any chance you could go to speedtest.net and run the benchmark. Curious as to what results you get....

2017-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4034674)

• 2017-08 Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4034662)

• 2017-06 Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4022405)


It's now downloading those and a couple of others.

Yes sorry I used this method although fortunately it doesn't seem to have solved the problem as now it just hangs on 'checking for updates'

answers.microsoft.com/en-…h=1

What I've found is that some of the settings in the version of Windows 10 supplied with this aren't setup properly by default. I suspect that they've cloned a corporate version of Windows and fiddled with it. You need to re-enable Windows Update - it's in one of the system settings menus. When I did it, it added a few updates and checking the version / build of Windows showed that it was latest build.

When I try and update all I get is the following,


There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070422)

edit- followed the instructions here to enable it although now it just seems to be hanging on 'checking for updates;' I have to agree it sounds pretty dodgy to me.

answers.microsoft.com/en-…h=1

Some people online have suggested that it's a Windows licence key hack but it's odd because this is supposed to be Windows 10 Home. I do wonder whether whether they've simply cloned a corporate version of Windows as I can see references to Bitlocker which only comes with Pro. They've also disabled Windows update by default (though you can re-enable it). Either way, it's all a bit fishy....

Absolutely certain it's version 4 as it has the panel on the bottom to get to the sdd port. It was bought when they were shipping version 4.

Finally plugged the charger in and cannot believe how short the lead is. Can anyone recommend another charger? the one supplied can't be longer than 2 metres. Surprised noone has mentioned this as it's quite annoying.

Paid £194 for it originally, might not have been that bothered at 169. The list of problems seems to keep going on.

Could be spyware on behalf of the Chinese leadership to make sure you don't post any Winnie the Pooh images online? :relaxed:

Thanks for the suggestion but I did a driver check and it says I have the latest driver.

Basically, I have the same WiFi problems as the guy in this video:

Check your driver version?

See here: downloadcenter.intel.com/pro…316

Download speeds are less than half that of Chromebook (Acer InviLink Nplify 802.11a/b/g/n).

It's like using a 56k modem from years ago where you can see the different page elements loading one by one with graphics being the last to load....Wifi performance has been the biggest annoyance for me thus far.


12.66Mbps (ie 1.58MB/s) is pathetic as alot of webpages will be more than 1.58MB in size. Takes a couple seconds to fully render and that's not even any media heavy pages with embedded video etc.

Having a quick Google, it seems other people have experienced poor Wifi speeds with this Intel AC 3165 Wifi chip. Just goes to show that having a 'big brand' Wifi chip is no guarantee of performance. If any techies out there have any ideas, I'm all ears..... :angry:

Install fresh windows as it still keeps the key once u signed into the same account

Perhaps Chris over at tech tablets or the other YouTube review site you mentioned can give you a steer. Otherwise I would be tempted to consider a fresh Win 10 install.

Ordered last night as on 25 left - apparently !! see this morning that they now have another 200 but it's gone up to £177

I don't want to sound paranoid, but what the hell is this MeiMengMeng service they've injected into the Windows installation? Even disabling the .exe and there's a service that runs in the background. Is it spyware? :angry:

Using one as I type this post and I don't think I'ver used a more crappy trackpad. Press left click and the cursor moves as you're doing it, sometimes very wildly. The keyboard isn't much better to be honest, you have to really hammer down on the keys to get the strokes to register. I had to type the first r of register twice for example. Also oddly if you edit a senence and press backspace more than one in a row the cursor goes straight to the end of the sentence. Very annoying indeed. The touchpad also has a strange and completely unnecessary matt finish to it.

The machine looks good but at the end of the day it's a crappy unknown Chinese brand with all the issues that comes with that. Sorry but this thing may have nice specs but it's awful to use.

These have English language windows 10 with a US keyboard.

Does this have uk windows on it?

More review on the Aliexpress website:

aliexpress.com/ite…tml

If purchasing one from Gearbest, it would help the Techtablets site and youtube channel to use the link on their page as that helps the guy who does them.

Can this be used for basic gaming?

Can Windows 7 be installed on this? Hate Windows 10

I've got the v4 of this. Took just over 2 weeks to arrive from Gearbest (UK priority mail / insured). Been evaluating it for the last week or so.

Things I don't like:

- Wifi performance is very poor. Not sure if its a fault but my speeds are about 30% of my other two laptops. Signal drops out completely if I move to the other side of the house. Random disconnects, drops in speed etc. I notice one of the reviewers online had this problem as well. Intel AC 3165 wireless chip used here. Not sure what the fix is for this.

- Trackpad pointer movement is okay but the sensitivity for two finger scroll and lower trackpad buttons is very poor. No way of adjusting the trackpad scrolling speed either or setting up scrolling zones on the left/right edge of the trackpad. Trackpad surface is a rough texture which I dislike. You wouldn't really want to use the trackpad for long periods anyway as your hand rests on the bottom edge of the laptop which is bevelled and therefore uncomfortable. I decided to use a mouse instead.

- Speakers are rubbish and very tinny. Sound through earphones is fine though.

- Keyboard is 'okay' but no more than that. I can anticipate some of the keys failing at some point in the future, particularly the spacebar as you have to press much more towards the centre of the key.

- N3450 is okay for basic tasks but it maxes at 100% constantly when loading media heavy web pages. Windows feels surprisingly sluggish compared to my i5 laptop. Really would benefit from a faster CPU and subsystem.

- Screen would benefit from a higher contrast ratio. It's sharp but there's loss of detail in black scenes of films as the contrast ratio isn't quite high enough. Fine for office work though and internet etc, just not ideal for films where there's alot of black or dark areas.

- in built microphone isn't very sensitive. You have to point your head 2ft from the microphone for Cortana, Skype etc!! You need to plug in earphones with mic for that...

- MeiMengMeng.Win.Clients.exe is loaded on startup which is not native to Windows. Looks like someone has fiddled with the original installation. I ended up disabling it.

Things that are good:

- Very low price for what you're getting. You'll never get a Windows laptop anywhere close to this for £170 in the UK.

- Aluminium build makes the chassis very rigid. Feels pretty durable.

- Laptop is thin and not too heavy.

- IPS 1080p screen is a bonus at this price (though the note the comments about contrast ratio).

- m.2 storage expansion slot is useful as 256GB SSDs can be had for £60 or so.

Overall:

Good for students and light users.

Bear in mind that you are buying an entry level laptop, so don't expect it to have the usability of a Macbook or XPS13.

Not really suitable for someone looking for a heavy duty, comprehensive, daily 'workhorse' of a laptop as those usability niggles will become a real pain over time.

I am looking for a new laptop and this may well fit the bill. Wouldn't know what gaming even is !! so reckon it is more than good enough for me. However, have seen this on the same website.
gearbest.com/lap…tml

worth paying the extra £15 for this one, bearing in mind I'm an old git and quite like the larger size of the cheaper one

Any programmers out there know what this does? Is it spyware? Anyone able to disassemble it? I've uploaded the .exe here: ufile.io/wqo0g

It's clearly not part of Windows, so Jumper or some 3rd party must have injected that into the Windows install.

The tdp is already unlocked on this v4 model. It also has a cover on the back so it's easier to add a ssd. For the price it really is a decent bit of kit. Sure you can't really game on it, but for watching vids, doing office work etc it's brill. The screen is very nice, better than even my hp envy ultrabook.

This with a SSD would be pretty amazing for the price :ninja:

This is almost too cheap to be true - what's the catch?!
Scorching hot

I'm sure linustechtips recently viewed the 10.6" version of this and didnt have much nice to say about it....

Don't know how much lower this can go........

.....Received ours this week. Great piece of kit for the money. :sunglasses:

I assume this is only good for very basic stuff?
