Onda Xiaoma 21 best ultrabook I have got this year. It's thinner and lighter even than my Windows Surface tablet! Yet comes with a bigger and brighter 12.5 inch screen, full keyboard, trackpad and fingerprint scanner!

Originally I was planning to turn the Onda Xiaoma 21 into a hacintosh Apple Macbook Air alternative for ONLY $340!
Though I have dropped this idea for two reasons.
1. Installing OSX on a machine with an Intel Celeron N3450 is a quite complicated process especially for computers with integrated Intel graphics too.
2. After installing the new Firefox browser in Windows, I'm more than happy with the current setup.
I use the ultrabook mainly for internet browsing and watching videos, connecting it to TV and projects.
So I like OSX and Safari for the speed, but the new Firefox is even faster than the Safari! And Windows are more than capable to run any kind of videos I threw at it even 4k at 60fps!
So I actually enjoy Onda Xiaoma 21 with Windows 10 now.
Add an 8 hour battery with USB Type C charging and it's a perfect machine for everyday carry. It's super compact and light, doesn't even feel if my bag is empty or with the computer inside! And it does everything I need from a portable machine: fast web browsing, any size/format video playback and works perfectly for presentations when connected to a projector!

Finally, Linux fans can easily convert this notebook to a Linux machine. I have tested Linux Tail, it run perfectly straight out of the USB drive with no extra setup!--- Double Post Merged, Dec 13, 2017 ---
And I have ordered a tiny 12 USB Type C charger too.--- Double Post Merged, Dec 13, 2017 ---
