This may seem like a silly question, but is there any particular reason to go with a “new” Teclast X98 Air 3G (with Windows 10 and Android 5.0 already installed) instead of an “old” one (with Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4)? My intuition is that if I get the “old” one, I can always update to the latest software … 

Do you root your android toys? If you do, 4.4 is much easier to root. 5.0 would have to wait, unless you are technically savvy 🙂

I like to root any androids I touch, not necessary for flashing custom ROM.  To me, using an android without root, is like going to bathroom… and found out the toilet paper is empty 🙁

1. Handover my hard earned $ to gearbest for a teclast air III 2/64G dual, after waiting for 6 days, “…processing…”, got upset, cancel order and request refund.
2. Go to teclast.com, browsed the picture of techlast air III, imaging holding one and playing with it…, found out gearbest is THE  Only authorized teclast dealer.  Shocked and surprise.   If the auth dealer cannot ship your teclast toy out in 6 days, and other “unauth” dealer ship in a day or 2, interesting.  What is the benefit of being an auth dealer?  Sorry, a bit out of line for tablet discussion.  But really pissed with gearbest.
3. Does the air III use the same keyboard as X98 air/air II? Or teclast make a new one specially for air III?
4. I picked the air III over the X98 air mainly because of WIDI.  Never use WIDI before, but want to try.  Anybody WIDI? how does that compare to cable HDMI in streaming video?
