We briefly used it with Microsoft Paint and found it to be fairly accurate. Any bigger and you lose on mobility, and anything smaller requires compromises when it comes to the input peripherals.Īs mentioned, our sample came with an active pen, one that is made of metal with a microUSB port at the top for charging, and coloured lights to indicate whether it is low on battery (turns red) or good to go (turns blue).

That said, 13.3-inch is, in our opinion, the best size for using a desktop operating system at full HD. Even on maximum brightness, the colours appeared subdued but not washed out. As such you can expect it to display the significant glare commonly associated with anything that has a glossy glass layer overlaid on top. The screen is a full HD IPS 10-point touchscreen model. The downside is it lacks a palm detection mechanism – so the cursor moves as soon as your palm brushes the touchpad surface – and since it doesn’t have mechanical buttons, registering physical clicks proved to be a tad more problematic than on other laptops. It’s great when it comes to moving the cursor around thanks to a very large surface area. The touchpad is a Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde peripheral. Long typing sessions are perfectly possible on a keyboard of this quality. The former was springy, with good feedback and the keys didn’t act like scrabble tiles.
The keyboard and touchpad were superior to anything we have tried at this price point – remember, this is a sub-£200 laptop. On one side of the V3 you’ve got a USB 3.0 port, HDMI, and a SIM card reader and on the other side there is a volume button, a toggle key that disables the keyboard and trackpad in tablet mode, the power button, a microSD card slot, the audio jack and a USB 2.0 port. You wouldn’t guess that it comes from a relatively unknown brand. There’s much to love about the finish of the Voyo V3 – its soft rubbery texture emulates that of the Lenovo Yoga 2 and its heft (the device weighs 1.63kg) adds to its solid feel. The power adaptor is a reasonably small 36W (3A, 12V) model for which you will need a converter. Unfortunately, the accompanying leaflet that describes how it works was in Chinese with no English translation.

The VBook V3 comes with a thin manual that you won’t use much as well as a rechargeable active stylus pen. The 4G version covers FDD-LTE800/850/900/1800/2100/2600MHz and other than the orange colour, there is also a grey model. Want to buy tech from online Chinese retailers? Read this first.)
(These costs are exclusive of any taxes that may be levied by HMRC or the courier companies on behalf of it. This is the Wi-Fi version and a 4G variant is also available for £238 (about $310, AU$400). The Voyo VBook V3 was provided to us by Geekbuying where it is on sale for £194 (about $250, AU$325) at the time of writing. We’re fortunate enough to have the Yoga 2 to compare and it’s evident that the VBook V3 has borrowed – nah, copied – the best bits from Lenovo’s three-year-old stunner (see the pair together in the two images below). That brings us to the Voyo VBook V3, a convertible that looks a lot like the original Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga with its orange colour scheme.

There’s the flip-to-transform model, popularised by Lenovo and its Yoga family, and the more traditional keyboard detachable range with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book being probably the two best examples in this arena. The laptop market has now settled down with only two main 2-in-1 designs surviving.
