T-Bao Tbook4 Review
The T-Bao Tbook4 is yet another N3450 powered laptop out of China. But the first to come in this darker grey colour that looks very slick and more professional than the gold or silver I think.

The Cube iwork5X has arrived, and it’s impressive. The build and design look very similar to what I saw on the Cube Thinker i35, their premium Core M3-7Y30 laptop. But unlike the Surface Book screen clad Thinker i35, this screen flips around 360 degrees converting it into a tablet.
