Currently in the review seat I have the PiPo W3F, it’s the little brother of the PiPo W3, minus the Usb 3.0, Z3775D and 64GB of storage. But it’s around $110 cheaper for a Z3735F. 32GB and usb 2.0, at 189 it’s cheaper than the X98 Air 3G and with the keyboard dock (Unfortunately not included!) for an extra $15-$20 you get a productive little machine like a Surface clone that you can attach and detach the keyboard as required. It allows you to get some serious typing down. And yes, there is a dual boot version ORÂ you can flash the Windows model already released to dual boot. More on that soon…
My first impressions:
- Great build quality, solid and no movement where the front and back of the tablet meet up
- Good quality keyboard, better than expected that docks in with a nice click. The magnets are strong.
- 1920 x 1200 screen is noticeably sharper than the 1920 x 1080 screens I’ve seen.
- Trackpad supports Windows 8.1 gestures
- Charing the unit from 0% takes around 4-5 hours. On par with other bay trail tablets I’ve reviewed.
- Usb 2.0 port maxing out around 40mb/s
- No charging from the microusb port, data only, unlike the W3
- Ultrastick 3G/4G modem support (optional extra)
- Battery life seems good, 5-7 hours depending on screen brightness and use.
- Over all I’m impressed, makes me want to check out the W3…

Thank you very much for this review.

Thanks in advance…

It doesn’t charge from the microusb port. You need a usb to the dc plug cable. Onda v116 had suck a cable. You can get them from Ali express.
