According to a recent Weibo from Teclast, the X98 Plus Dual OS version is now out. I reviewed the Windows 10 only version and it’s not a bad 9.7″ Retina tablet if a tad underpowered at gaming Vs other Z8300’s (It felt underclocked the GPU). But it was able to get over 8 hours of battery life due to this. Banggood has it for $197 with the X98 Plus Windows 10 version coupon ee75d0,...[Read More]
Cube’s new Windows 10 Asus Transformer Book style tablet the iwork10 Ultimate is now out and in stock at Banggood.com. It’s got the same specs as the Hi10, an Atom X5 Z8300, 4GB of Ram, Windows 10 Home 64bit, 64GB eMMC and a 10.1 inch 1920 x 1200 resolution IPS panel. It could even be the same IPS panel Chuwi uses, which wouldn’t be a bad thing. Often manufacturers source their p...[Read More]
My review of the Hi10 is finally done, in between order issues, getting it late from sellers and flying back to New Zealand it took me a while longer to review this one. I did wait for the second batch that had Windows 10 64bit too. So this was another reason for the delay. But my time with the Hi10 has been good, and I’m glad to say it’s a worthy upgrade over the popular Vi10 despite ...[Read More]

Chuwi’s new 2160 x 1440 Surface Pro 3 screen tablet the Hi12 is also coming in dark grey I found looking online today (Nice move Chuwi) I was a bit disappointed in the earlier press images of the Hi12 in white & gold. I don’t mind white, but I think black looks more professional and less iPad Pro clone to me. Online retailer GearBest has the release date set as the 28th of January,...[Read More]
Cube has today formally announced the Cube i9 in a press conference in Shenzhen, China.

Onda’s Lenovo Yogo 11 clone with its 360-degree hinge piqued my interest enough to get it. Must be made by the same ODM as this design is also sold by Vido as the Vido W11Pro3 and Voyo as the A1 Plus & A1 Plus Ultimate. Those versions even have 4G/LTE, 32-64GB eMMC’s and up to 4GB of RAM. The spec is low on this Onda oBook, an Atom X5 Z8300, 2GB of Ram, 32GB eMMC, 1080p screen and ...[Read More]
Chuwi has released the full specs on the Hi12, and some more photos of the unit. It’s shaping up to be a very interesting tablet, metal unibody, full sized USB ports, keyboard dock and that screen. It will be released first with Windows 10 and later as a dual boot with Windows and Android. Previously thought to have a 1920 x 1200 screen, the Hi12 will, in fact have a Surface Pro 3 2160 x 144...[Read More]

First impressions: Just like the Hi8 build, but in black Speaker is average, same ...[Read More]
In a Weibo from Cube today, the Chinese tech company announced it will host a conference on the 14th. The theme is Tablet PC core era, which I think means Intel Core M Skylake era? So it sounds like they will be annoucing their new Cube i9 or i7 Stylus Skylake M3-6Y30 refresh? Either way an Intel Core M3-6Y30 is a nice step up in performance as seen in the Surface Pro 4 M3 and other Core M3 tablet...[Read More]
