Received promptly via GearsBest. Boots very quickly into Android 5.1. Boot to Win 10 is about as expected with Windows. System word fine with both systems, although I primarily use Android with tablets. Win 10 really just a one time novelty buy for me. Processor seems quick enough, but would be likely would be much, much better with 1.5 vice 1 GB RAM. THE problem is the microsd card slot not prope...[Read More]
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 ...[Read More]
The Chuwi Vi10 Plus is here, it’s the Remix OS 2.0 only version. Which is the only one out at the moment, so it has 2GB of RAM, 32GB eMMC, Wireless N, Bt 4.0. The screen is the Surface 3 one, 1920 x 1280 with an aspect ratio of 3:2. The keyboard dock is just like the Vi10’s, well very similar, just the way it folds up to hold the tablet up is different. Here’s my unboxing video: ...[Read More]

In my Cube i7 Book Review, one of the cons was palm rejection did not work on the outer edges of the tablet. A few discovered that the latest insider builds had an option to completely disable touch when the pen was detected. Today I tested out the Windows 10 Anniversary update, a large update that tweaks and adds many features including that option to disable touch with the pen. I also tested out...[Read More]

Thanks to Diego. It is the Tbook 16 Pro, a 2-in-1 tablet with a metal keyboard dock. No word on the specs, hopefully since it’s labeled as a Pro version, it will at least have an Atom X5 Z8500. Images of the Tbook Pro. Finally, Weibo is loading properly and working for people outside of China. Not much is new from the Chinese tablet brands, mostly they are just pushing sales on Tmall of thei...[Read More]

Also a short video of Remix OS 3.0 the new Android 6.0 version running on the tablet. The new remix version now includes a Google Play installer, so no messing about with side loading Google services and Play store. It worked just fine and I was able to use Play to d...[Read More]
Chuwi’s latest tablet the Vi10 Plus with its 3:2 ratio Surface 3 screen is now shipping out. This first version is the Remix OS only tablet with 2GB of RAM, a 32GB eMMC and GearBest have it listed for $139.99 for the first 75 units. Seems there is no listing for the keyboard as of yet, which is a bit crazy if you ask me as I know most would also want the keyboard at the same time so you ca...[Read More]
