Teclast X98 Pro+ A New X98 Pro Model For South Korea
Teclast Korea seems to have their own improved X98 Pro+ version. Now I don’t read Korean, but user YouJoon Park does and has pointed out it looks to have some unique features over the X98 Pro. The chipset remains the same Atom X5 Z8500 (2.24 Ghz) with 4GB of Ram, 64GB eMMC and dual OS. But it has something new, a GrafTech eGraf SS-610CU thermal solution (Aka heatsink). So Teclast is addressi...[Read More]
Chuwi Vi10 Ultimate Order Delay Due to Cherry Trail Heat Issues?
I asked my AliExpress seller why my Chuwi Vi10 Ultimate I ordered for review here still hasn’t shipped out, I go this reply: Hello friend, thank you for your order at first. Actually the factory were ready to send the Vi10 Cherry Trail to us these two days, but when they tested the tablets before sent, they found that the new chip have a problem that is easy to hot, so they have to stop and ...[Read More]

Teclast X98 Air III Unboxing and First Impressions
I received my 32GB Teclast Air III today, this is the single OS only model with Android 5.0. But it can be flashed to dual OS is you feel the need. The 64GB model is Android 5.0 / Windows 10. The housing of the tablet now has that new squared off look, instead of the rounded off edges the X98 Air 3G/Air II and X98 Pro have. I’m not sure I like it as much and prefer the rounded edge as it mak...[Read More]

So I might flash mine over to dual boot later on and write it up if ther...[Read More]
Onda v820w CH Atom X5 Z8300 Review Online
Possibly one of the poorest tablets I have yet to review, the Onda v820w CH. Its review is now finally online. It took me far too long to finish this review because it was just plain painful to finish. It’s online and the first X5 Z8300 I have reviewed isn’t any faster than an Atom Z3735F! But I think and hope it’s down to Onda’s poor optimization. I clearly see why Onda ne...[Read More]
A Chinese Tablet After 7 Months. Is It Failing To Bits & Does it Hold Charge?
I’ve now had my Chuwi Vi10 Dual Boot for around 7 months. I thought I would post a quick video on how it’s holding up. To be honest, like most people I expected battery wear (Would it hold a full charge?), slowness to creep in and maybe the USB ports, MicroUSB charge port to be falling apart or some other damage. The usual for a cheap Chinese tablet right? Well, it seems many models mi...[Read More]

Chuwi to Release Fourth Cherry Trail Tablet?
At the end of their Weibo press event today, Chuwi posted this last image. It would seem they are working on a 4th Cherry Trail model? I would love to see a Core M from Chuwi, but my guess is maybe they are working an 11.6″ 1920 x 1080 tablet to compete with the Teclast X16 Power & X16 Pro models? With either an Atom X5 Z8500 or even a X7 Z8700 SoC, 4GB of Ram and a larger keyboard dock ...[Read More]
Chuwi Hi8 Pro to ship with USB 3 Type-C port
From Chuwi’s Weibo press event today, they have confirmed the Hi8 Pro will feature a USB 3 Type-C port. This will be the first Chinese tablet to come with this new connector, as far as I can tell it’s USB 3.0 Type C and not USB 3.1 (The Asus Transformer Book T100HA has USB 3.1 Type C) if anyone understands Chinese can you please confirm it’s 3.0 or 3.1? Points of note: Same desig...[Read More]

They have confirmed it will have two full sized USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2 ports, one microUSB for charging and data, the other full sized on the keyboard dock. This is good news, the more ports the merrier if you ask me, I personally think all tablets sho...[Read More]
