The power button and additional hardware keys for volume control are on the left lateral edge, and they can also be used in the tablet mode. Therefore, we preferred using the touchscreen directly for inputting, which also remained inconspicuous in the test. A comparatively large area simultaneously triggered a left and right click in the lower center. It has a pleasant surface, but repeatedly caused problems when mechanical clicks were prompted. The touchpad itself is implemented as a ClickPad. A corresponding detection is probably missing here. It responded when our palms touched it and moved the cursor. The touchpad recurrently got in the way while we typed. The keyboard provides satisfactory feedback with a rather short drop. It is possible to open the device, although any potential maintenance actions are prevented as all components are non-removable and even the battery has been glued in place. This is particularly annoying when using the device on the lap or on soft surfaces. The hinges allow rotating the screen by 360 degrees, but they do not keep the display firmly enough to prevent it from rocking. The feel of the orange-colored soft-touch finish on the outsides is a pleasure to touch. The device's build is impeccable only the torsional robustness could be slightly higher. Of course, configured with the latest and passively cooled Intel CPU, VOYO's device does not need vents. The fact that VOYO's V3 is available with a similar look is probably not a coincidence, but rather a deliberately borrowed plume from the original. Some readers might remember Lenovo's Yoga 2 13 with its striking orange outer shell. Where do the supposed Chinese replicas stand compared with the originals that, by the way, usually also come from the land of the rising sun. Notwithstanding these, we ordered a device for a test and want to compare the hardware with those of known convertibles and 2-in-1s. – are more than enough reasons for reservations. However, caution is called for: Numerous, unknown suppliers are gathered on the various sales platforms, there are risks when paying for the goods (prepayment, credit card) and delivery times are uncertain, customs fees are normally due, and there is a lack of experience in terms of the durability of the devices, possible lack of certified control authorities, state of the received goods and ensuing warranty claims, etc. Lowest prices that are enhanced by limited special offers make it difficult for users to not give in to the temptation. Therefore, it is not surprising that an increasing number of offers from the Far East are infiltrating the market here. Unfortunately, the price threshold for devices of known manufacturers that feature corresponding equipment (screen diagonal, hardware) is comparatively high. Undoubtedly, the thought of fusing the productivity of a laptop with the comfort of a tablet has a legitimate attraction. For the original German review, see here.
