Cube’s i7 Book is one of the best if not the best Chinese stylus enabled tablet currently available. The lowest price recently was $336, user Blackburn found that the 20% off coupon is now working on this item. (Don’t use the coupon in the listing) So coupon b28900 when applied at the check out lowers the price to $294, that’s lower than the big Cube Aliexpress sale a few months back.
While it’s a great tablet for the price, it’s not completely flawless. Make sure you check out my Cube i7 Book review for all the Pros and Cons if you are thinking of getting one.
The deal page is here: Banggood Cube i7 Book listing.
Thanks Blackburn for passing on this info.

It is the same with the wifi, its says Support, doesn’t specify what kind of wifi modem
My big question is, can i boot Linux from USB ? or doesn;t that support the keyboard etc.

Keyboards are normally never a problem with Linux. See Chris’ live USB boot test of Linux Mint on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd1Dga10YBo

There are ways to customize it for better touch usage. Larger menu bar and icons for example. Or, my favorite the particularly slick Cairo-Dock app launcher with virtual desktops…

297 dollars no euro. 297 U$= 270 eu.
Blackburn
LOL FAIL you do understand EUR Vs USD right?
BBaker
Are you retarded? 285 EUR showed in your imgur pic, equals 318 USD
This is MORE than 294 USD Chris was talking about.
get a grip on reality.
BBaker
Now, having said that. If you go to the Gearbest page it now shows a price of USD$282 (252 EUR) so it is in fact cheaper but that Imgur pic is not accurate now.

Be sure to look at the spec’s where it lists the CPU. I have seen three different Cube i7 specs listing “Core M” with 1.0GHz 1.5Ghz and 2.0Ghz. So you should verify exactly which CPU it’s using. Are they all the same, a Core-M 5Y10C or what? They’re just reporting different frequency spec?
Chris G
That’s the i7 Stylus (Last years model) Core M 5Y10

@Chris, what was the shipping transit time to you in Spain? I have a friend in Germany coming to Brazil soon and maybe he can bring it to me and avoid the import “bend-over” tax. 🙂
Chris G
2-3 weeks free mail service and 5-6 working days DHL.

You can also get the Cube i9 currently for $350 using coupon code 706459.
Pablo_2015
Where do you found it? Because i search coupun like that but i don’t found it. For example i want buy a xiomi mi4s and i don’t found any coupon.
Brian Webb
I had this coupon in my cart from last week, and it appears to be still active. It might not be posted anymore. last week the i9 was listed $550, but now it under $500 before the coupon, and the coupon takes almost $150 off.
I don’t know of any coupons for the mi4s.
Blackburn
Thanks for posting this Chris. Shame I miss out on this deal, but $336 I paid wasn’t bad a month ago.

How long will this price last?
Blackburn
I doubt it will be up for long.

Is there any way to get the original box instead of BangGood’s own packaging?
Chris G
Normally if they have one with the original box its a separate listing, but I don’t see one. I guess it’s how they offer this price with reduced shipping costs from repacking.
Popcorn
Is this price including taxes and customs? What shipping method do we have to choose?
Blackburn
Never included taxes. Free shipping = no tax, but express shipping you get taxed on.

As Elsyin, I hesitated because I didn’t see many reviews for this product thus I chose to buy on aliexpress (408$ for the tablet+keyboard+stylet+1 screen protector).
But the price on banggood is very interesting 🙂
elsyin
Is it reliable to purchase from Banggood? I don’t see many reviews, and why does it say 1.51GHz in the description ???
Lmi
I have ordered many things from banggood, cirka 45-50, everything was ok.
Now I wait for my i7 book from them.
Chris G
Same here, I’ve ordered about 60-70 things from them now. Everything has been fine, often they repack the tablets, but they arrive 100% safe which is what matters.
BBaker
Yeah, I noticed many ads on diff sites often just say “Core M” and don’t specify the actual CPU number (eg 5Y10C) and I have seen mention of 3 different speeds… 1Ghz 1.5 and 2.0 Stupid! What good does it do to “specify” spec’s that are not correct and detailed.
