This week Gearbest has a sale on the more powerful Atom 2-in-1 based tablets, the Vido W10 Elite which I’ve yet to review and the Teclast X16 Power and X16 Pro. The Vido W10 elite has the best spec of the pack with dual wireless AC, Atom X7 Z8700, 1920 x 1200 fully laminated display, 128GB eMMC and a build similar to the Surface 3 with kickstand and all.
The 2-in-1 epic convertible tablet sale is here with various other flash sales on tablets.

If that Vido W10 Elite had a 12″ display, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
i notice, that nowadays my 10.6″ ‘old but still going strong’ Surface Pro1 often lies patiently in a corner and I pick up my Chuwi Hi12 instead.
The screen size and ratio (3:2 instead of 16:9) is much easier on the eye and more practical when reading in portrait mode and the additional height in Landscape is handy for working (Word, Excel, etc.).
The 1920×1200 screen has an almost as practical (16:10 ratio) screen, but unfortunately too small for me.

Apollo lake atom chips are still set to release starting sometime end of this year from what I know, not sure if they will get release on hybrids devices, notebooks was mentioned though.

I’m sure they will be in 2-in-1’s, looking forward to see the improvements they bring.

Link? Everything I have seen suggests the opposite. Though the whole “Atom” thing is often just marketing semantics since all these things Atoms, Celeron, Pentium, Core-M, Core-i all often share the same core tech and often can have similar performance and specs. For me the thing that set “Atoms” apart was their very low power usage at idle. So far the only “leaked” mobile CPU’s I’ve seen are 6 watt TDP Apollo-Lake Celeron and Penntium “N” processors.

Looks good. with dual-band wifi-AC, USB-C, and that big 128GB eMMC. Hopefully the speed of that storage is decent.
I wonder if we’ll see faster price drops on all the Cherry-Trail Atom devices over the next year given Intel is phasing out the Atom?
BBaker
“phasing out” may just mean that they will not be developing new CPU’s they market as “Atom”. It does not necessarily mean they won’t continue to sell them – the X5 cherry-trail Atoms.
