Topton L4 | Revenge of the Netbook?Handheld PC News Posted 2 years ago | Reviews | Chris Tilley 4 comments
The recent resurgence of a number of small form factor keyboard-equipped devices has been heartening to see over the last couple of year. The market place has been flush with several different manufacturers who have been jostling for a position in the market based upon a wide range of factors. Yet is price really a key factor in the decision making of those of us who appreciate such small footprint device? And just how low is too low when it comes to price?
Robert Jones dives into the Topton L4 (and its plethora of different third party brand identities) to assess the competencies and performance of what is perhaps by far the cheapest contender in the 2021 sub-notebook device category. Can the L4 live up to the hype of its Chinese no-brand (and completely anonymous) manufacturer and is it an effective competitor to the likes of the GPD Pocket at a killer pricing point in an increasingly crowded market?

Comments on this articleRobert, a fine, fine job. Informative, illuminative, fairhanded in every way. Many thanks for the time and care you took. It was a perfect review. Jake Nice review, I am surprised by the poor battery life and will defiantly be sticking with my GPD pocket 7. Its a few years old but still gets a solid 6 hours on a charge! It is most appalling to see in 2021 isn't it! Something is not right in there. I am left wondering if the battery is even electrically rated as advertised. That or one or more parts of it are not power managed. Given the mess they've made, I wouldn't be surprised if CPU C-States aren't working much more than the screen brightness is. |
