I conducted a little experiment today, I pitted a recently updated X98 Air 3G running Windows 10 Home against another X98 Air 3G with the original Windows 8.1 Bing image. Both tablets are the C5J6 model and have identical 64GB Samsung eMMC drives. The results are in my short video below: Note* Both machines were run on battery power and both left to cool between the benchmarks.
Recently I posted that Teclast has an up and coming release announcement on the 10th, a Cherry Trail 9.7″ was mentioned and a Core M tablet. Well details on AliExpress have leaked out that the Teclast X98 Pro is coming, as expected it’s packing the next gen Atom Cherry Trail. An Atom X5 Z8500 to be exact, which can boost up to 2.24 Ghz. This is paired with 4GB of LPDDR3 1600Mhz RAM and...[Read More]
Found these on the Teclast forum. The final Android 5.0 Lollipop Rom for the X98 Air II (HG9M) and X98 Air 3G (C5J6) the 64GB models. These are the official final Android 5.0 ROMs fromTeclast, out of beta. So you can now have Windows 10 and Android 5.0 dual boot. I imagine new builds of the X98 Air 3G will be shipping like this as the ROM is out of beta and Windows 10 is now out. As with all offic...[Read More]
Clever forum member Majkel has spotted that the Cube official stylus is, in fact a generic Wacom Stylus used by many brands like Lenovo, Samsung and Microsoft. So if you’re looking to source the exact same stylus as used in my i7 Stylus review. I can confirm it’s identical, down to the box even (without the Samsung branding) then there are many places to source one. It’s a Samsun...[Read More]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNY9V5YCdlM This Onda v919 3G Core M unboxing video popped up on the internet, good spotting Mike Cane X Blog. It ships now with Windows 10 by the look of it. But why on earth has it only got a Micro USB 2 port and not a MicroUSB 3.0 port Onda? The hardware supports it. For me personally, that’s a deal breaker. I have mine on preorder via Ali Express, which I ...[Read More]
If you have a Chuwi Hi8, you have two ways to get Windows 10 you can run the Windows update and upgrade. Or what I did here was flash over a Windows 10 image from Chuwi’s official forum. This image here has a recovery wim and is in Chinese and English. It’s set up with all the drivers and works perfectly for me. There is one downside to this however, it’s not activated and you ha...[Read More]
The PiPo X8 is something of a hybrid mini PC, powered by an Intel Atom Z3736F which can boost up to 2.16Ghz 2GB of ram and a 32GB eMMC it has the internals of a common Atom tablet. But this isn’t a tablet, well kinda. The PiPo X8 is a not your average Atom dual boot mini PC, as it has a 7″ 1280 x 800 touchscreen on it. Which surprising comes in handy for those times you don’t hav...[Read More]
Teclast have posted on their Weibo today, that the X98 Air 3G can update to the official Windows 10 release out today. (I’m updating mine now to test it out) According to Teclast, it’s working just fine, only one issue with an unknown device in the device manager. But they have released their X98 Air 3G C5JX Windows 10 drivers pack to fix this: [wpfilebase tag=file id=182 tpl=3-col-row...[Read More]
There is some confusing over the Onda v919 3G Core M being a dual boot tablet. I know it will ship with Windows 8.1. However, according to a Weibo posted from Onda, they will later on release on their forums a Windows 10 and Android 5 dual boot bios, ROM and image for the tablet. The translated Weibo claims it will be a proper Android / Windows dual boot set up, not the emulated Android x86 applic...[Read More]
Looking at the Weibo’s today I saw this coming soon announcement from Teclast: The quality of the image isn’t very good, neither is my Chinese or the Google translation, but it looks like August the 10th is the date for a new announcement. A Windows 10 powered 9.7″ Core M Retina tablet? (Onda v919 3G Core M) competitor? And you can see the words Cherry Trail. It’s about tim...[Read More]
If you have a Teclast X98 Air 3G or X98 Air II, you should be running one of Mirek190’s ROMs, they really give you the best Android experience on your X98 Air tablet. Much better than that laggy Teclast launcher and bloated ROM. Version 4.2 was released a couple of days ago. It’s a bug fix release and includes the install.bat file which makes it really easy to install this ROM without ...[Read More]
