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 OR 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…
