Cube i9 Vs Teclast X3 Pro Comparison
The two flagship Intel Core M3’s compared in this video comparison, the X3 Pro uses last years X2 Pro housing and keyboards. But it’s got an edge (pun intended) over the Cube i9 with its 8GB of RAM, Stylus support and Wireless AC. Speed wise they are very similar, the X3 Pro has slightly better scores in most benchmarks, but not all. The X3 Pro has slower SSD drive. And benchmarks aren...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Stylus Hands On With The HiPen
Banggood’s Stylus for the Hi12 turned out to be the real deal, the official Chuwi HiPen. I’ve just tested it out briefly in the below unboxing and test video. The stylus looks exactly like the Teclast X3 Pro one. Same build, just missing the logo but it must run on other frequency which is why it didn’t work on the Hi12. I can also confirm that it works on my Cube iwork10 Ultimat...[Read More]

The ROM is stock and has no custom launc...[Read More]
Chuwi HiBook & Keyboard Unboxing and First Impressions
The Chuwi HiBook has landed here at TechTablets. The build is very similar to the Cube iwork10 Ultimate.
