A shockingly great piece of kit with a few design quirks
Teclast is a fast-growing Chinese brand whose range of highly affordable tablets and 2-in-1s have been a regular fixture in our test labs during the last two years, delivering mostly solid, if unexceptional, performances.
The latest Teclast offering to come through our door is a bit different. This is the first laptop from the company we’ve reviewed, and also the first product that sheds its budget label, focusing on the more lucrative mainstream market. So, without further ado, meet the Teclast F6 Pro, a 2-in-1 convertible ultrabook.
Design
The Teclast F6 Pro is a seriously attractive piece of hardware that wouldn’t be out of place in the flagship range of Dell or Lenovo. It sports an all-metal chassis (likely aluminium rather than magnesium alloy), with the sort of design you’d expect on a mainstream ultrabook.
That means a brushed metal finish, along with a tapered profile with chamfered edges running along the sides. There are two hinges supporting a touch display that rotates 360-degrees, plus there’s a solid chassis that doesn’t wobble or flex.
The power button, for once, is not located on the keyboard, but on the side of the device, half an inch away from a microSD card slot, which itself is next to a USB 3.0 port, an audio socket and the power connector.
On the other side of the F6 Pro, you’ll find a USB Type-C connector, another USB 3.0 port and a micro-HDMI port – a rarity on laptops. If there’s one negative point to raise, it’s the sharp edges around the USB ports that could potentially draw blood.
