Was to be expected…such an onslaught of offers from GearBest could not go unanswered.
Now that I purchased my Cube i7 Stylus, though, I realized some problems that had not occured to me before…
1) Incompatibility of Powerbanks with 12V input specification of the Cube tablet….only Qualcomm QuickCharge powerbanks would support it, if it had a Qualcomm CPU…most others work only at 5V.
…this could actually be a problem, because it means that if the (not so long) battery life is coming to a close, if you don’t have access to a wall-socket, you can’t charge your device…
potentially highly problematic actually…
2) Equally, the need to carry a second, separate charger for one’s devices. Formerly I had a great little pocket-sized Samsung one, but now would need to carry this brick of power adapter.
