Cube iWork1X Rating And Review Online
The first of many Z8350 powered devices has been reviewed, the Cube iwork1x. Another decent tablet from Cube. Good screen, build, and performance is a slight step up from the Z8300’s.

If you missed the review it was on YouTube, but you can find the written (brief) Cub...[Read More]

Pipo W1 Pro Hands On And First Impressions.
The second Atom X5 Z8350 powered tablet to arrive for review, Pipo’s W1 Pro. It’s been a while since I looked at a Pipo tablet from them, the last Pipo piece of tech I reviewed was the disappointing Pipo W10 hybrid mini-pc.
