Yeah, we’ll have to wait and see.
Lol less sd-card more micro USB storage stick for you, otherwise you’ll wind up up breaking your nails :p

Finally got it right… it might take some time to get used to and requires personal technique and preference to get the latch open
Yeah, that’s what I had in mind when I bought this product. There is a need for me to upgrade to the Extreme MicroSD for work puposes without much performance issues. All else will be accessed via the external drives.
We’ll see how convenient it is

I’m at the Onda product page, there’s no language button and google translate won’t translate the whole page :/

Looks like they have changed it (??)
Let me try it as well

Ah I understand, I thought when you said “optimize” you meant that it’s a laggy tablet. So as far as smoothness goes it’s very smooth(windows)? It’s just lacking in the heavy productivity department? Does windows utilize the eMMC as paging file? If so, does the tablet lag significantly?

So far no lag 😀
Only used it for 3 days though… we’ll see once full software setup is done
Yeah, BOTH Windows and IE are very smooth… perhaps it’s because I haven’t had any full memory issues yet? But so far, none freezing.
It’s lacking in both HEAVY productivity and LARGE storage department… LOLZ!
Yes, the internal eMMC card will be utilized as paging file AND temporary file storage. No, it doesn’t lag (at least not from my experience with internal eMMCs) unless the storage will be full. Hence, Im planning to move all paging and temp files to be stored in the external SD card.
This structure WILL lag depending on the external SD card used. That’s the reason why I’m opting for the expensive Sandisk Extreme MicroSD card due to its performance. It is NOT a guarantee though as both drivers and hardware play a role on making a smooth transition between realtime reading and writing files.

I to would choose the Teclast over the Onda. But the improved build quality and the overall lack of software bugs on Onda’s side (at launch) compared to the Teclast leads me to beleve that the Onda is the better choice. Does the Teclast even come in a 64GB variant?

Yes, Teclast now comes with a 64GB variant. They also have the Teclast X10 which has a very good display (see Chris video)
But yeah, Teclast has alot of bloatwares and certain software bugs. You can remove those though and if you’re patient enough, you can personally remedy those issues.
I don’t have the luxury of time to get into those as my own personal software setup would already take about a day or so… hence, I find it inconvenient to dwelve into those issues from Teclast.
Let’s see how I fare against Onda’s software issues.

Yea to much intel confusion. Someone over at xda told me the Dell Venue 11 Pro (7130) is a beast. I’ll check out some video’s now. It has removable eMMC/battery ._.

Well, I still think the MS Surface Pro 3 i7 with 500GB internal storage and 4GB RAM is THE BEAST 😀
Would love to buy that if it weren’t for the price tag… guess have to save more to get that….
It will be a definite must have for work and play once Windows 10 is fully deployed with Call and SMS functions.
ConsoleOS will also be stable and officially released by that time so just imagine what we can do with both Win10 and ConsoleOS running on 1 machine with those specs.

I’ve read your post, very detailed and informative. Can you test/confirm if the wifi connection suffers while using Bluetooth? I thought Chris mentioned it on the xda forums.

So far, I had no WiFi issues in both OS even with BT on… haven’t tested it or used it in a full day though…
Let’s see how it works out once I have the BT headset on when travelling (Will be connected to WiFi pocket hub)

I’m very interested in knowing how you’ll manage using the tablet as both a phone and a laptop, and what the results are 🙂
I believe it’ll be very rewarding, if you stick to the basics.

Yeah 😀
We’ll see once my setup is complete 😀
Haven’t installed the softwares yet as I need an entire day or two to fully setup the software
Hardware and desktop are also still in progress… I’m only left with the Tablet Holders and the Travel bag.
Let’s see how convenient this will be for work and play 😀

Hi Chris,

I got my unit today from this seller – http://www.aliexpress.com/store/402951
You can find more of my unboxing pics here –
https://www.facebook.com/ritzie.lamina/media_set?set=a.10206387308468032.1073741883.1427593174

1) Here’s what happened at the start
– I originally opted to buy the Onda v116w but opted to change it upon learning of the overheating issues and subsequent throttling/performance issues
– I’ve already paid for the Onda v116w order but the seller still hasn’t shipped it out yet. Although they haven’t informed me, my online investigation concludes that Onda was aware of the overheating issues and stopped the production of the v116 product causing an insufficient supply in the market. Hence, the reason why the shipment couldn’t be confirmed yet.
– I have contacted the seller to change my order, initially to Teclast X10 HD Dual OS 64GB. But this item is alot more expensive than what I paid for and would require me to provide additional payment.
– I changed my mind again and requested the seller to

2) Here’s my feedback upon receiving and unboxing the item (see facebook album in link above)
– Got excited upon seeing a green/white plastered box on my desk
– It was smaller than what I originally pictured it to be as I originally owned an Asus Padfone which has 10.1 inch screen with a larger box
– Unwrapping the box was quite a challenge as it was wrapped so tightly with lots of packaging tape layers
– After the packaging documents and the layers of packaging tapes were removed, there is a brown packaging box enclosing the actual devices
This is quite a nice feature for them to bind everything together in a nice recyclable box.
– Removing the brown box will reveal a 10400 mAH Xiaomi Power Bank wrapped in 2 layers of foam.
I find this a little bit odd as the PowerBank was placed in the center of the foam and NOT within the layers.
Odd because if anything hits the side of the brown packaging box where the PowerBank is placed, the device can be immediately affected by the
impact
– Removing the PowerBank will reveal the requested Leather Case and a slight oversized screen protector
This was nice of the seller to find these 2 accessories for me as they claim that there are no particular cases and screen protector that was made
for the Onda v919 from the OEM (Onda itself)
The Leather Case fits nicely with the tablet itself with a slight tightness on the width and somewhat spacious on the sides.
The Leather Case is generic but does its job so I am keeping it. What this case won’t do is to protect the device from accidental fall
The Leather case is nice for letting the Tablet stand either in Portrait or Landscape mode
However, It gets a little bit challenging to find a nice “fold” if we’re going to use a Tablet Holder. I don’t intend to remove the device from the
Tablet Case because it will easily destroy the default plastic wrapping (back) and screen protector of the device (Onda v919)
The default plastic wrapping and screen protector of the device serves its purpose
– Removing the Leather Case and Screen Protector will reveal the Onda v919 Box. I find the packaging nice and clean
– Opening the Onda v919 box will reveal the actual ONDA V919 itself wrapped in scratch proof and anti static bag.
– Removing tablet will reveal a 2nd “door” that the will show MicrOSD, USB, power adapter as shown in the Youtube videoo from Chris (TECHTablets.com)
I find the charging cable disappointing as it is VERY, VERY short! (like 2 to 3 inches or so)
Haven’t tested the USB Power Adapter yet and haven’t charged the unit. Will get back on this tonight
– The package came with a 64GB Transcend Micro SD Card (class 10) as requested in my order.
However, I plan to change this to a 128GB Sandisk Extreme MicroSD or Ultra MicroSD card for faster read/write and bigger storage.
This will maximize my use of the Tablet for Work and Play (as well as calls and SMS :D)

3) Initial Check and Power up of the device
Removing the antistatic wrap will reveal the Onda v919 which is a replica (if not an exact copy) of the iPAD Air.
It really looks good. I love the feel of metal at the back and how solid it is to hold. I love the solid metal feel.
I haven’t experienced any creaking noises or cover mishaps from the Card slots yet but we’ll see after prolonged use
The device is quite Heavy but lighter than ASUS Padfone (1st Gen). I can make do with the weight and used to carrying something heavier all the time.
However, it’s not for light travelling and travelling to places where crime is of concern (see my FB wall on March 11, 2014).
I turned it on and was quite OK with the boot up time. It was faster than expected (I was actually expecting something like 10 minutes or so)
And the boot up is faster than my first generation i7 laptop. LOLZ!! (Probably because the device is still new?)
The initial battery is at 68% and I tried to use it for 1 hour and it was still at 68%. This is currently at its full brightness.
I was expecting this would lower down to 60% or something. Is this perhaps a sign of battery error?
I have tried switching OS back and forth. The almost 1 minute boot time in between OS is more than bearable… if you’re not in a hurry.
Windows 8 is something new to me and need quite some time to get used to. I’m currently reviewing a tutorial on Windows 8 but initial impression on
performance was great.
Android was faster as expected but this is because I haven’t installed any of the apps I normally use on my Android phones/phablets.
Yeah, the bloatware is quite disappointing and can’t wait to have them removed.
The Android side has a Master App maintenance installed. However, I can’t seem to understand how it works. I might install it in favor of more user
friendly apps such as Titanium but that is AFTER I root it first.
There are icons everywhere and are scattered across all 3 pages of the screen. Yup, it’s still a challenge for me to organize them but the stock
Android does things as expected.
I connected to WiFi Connection. Note that this feature will need to be done on BOTH Android and Windows side. Do not expect that WiFi will be turned
ON on 1 OS if you turned it ON to another.
I turned OFF the tablet and will see how much it would go down after booting it up again later tonight (time as of writing)

4) Further Checking
After booting it up tonight, I’ll be checking on the following:
– Battery performance
– Device charging
– Media playing
– Installation of Accessories, etc
– Connecting to PC to form a LAN

5) Future Plans
Hardware
– The Leather Case doesn’t have any opening for the Back Camera to peer through. That is fine with me as I will NOT use the Back Camera.
Instead, I will be connecting it to a WiFi Action Cam (SJCAM or Xiaomi) for a better experience plus another purpose to have a waterproof cam that
I can take anywhere (just click and shot type of things)
The Action Cam is also connected with an external LED light to check if quality of photos can be improved
– Planning to use a 128GB Ultra or Extreme MicroSD card
– will require a good BT Keyboard and Mouse combo
– This device needs a Fast 5-Port USB Hub to connect external Extreme HDD or External SSD without reading lag, Printers and the normal USB devices
used for work
– Since this device doesn’t have HDMI slot, it will be required to connect the WiDi function of this device (accessed in Intel Control Panel) to a
WiDi TV or HDMI Receiver
– Planning to use a flexible Tablet Holder to check if I can still work/play/relax using this device
– Check LAN connection to Smartphone (Huawei MediaPad x2)

Software
Future plans include:
– Install AntiVirus for both OS first
– Root the Android and remove Chinese Bloatware
– Install my normally used apps and monitor the performance
– Install gaming apps and emulators in both OS and monitor the experience
The experience will be a basis of comparison with this device against normal laptops I use
– Install work related apps (MS Office, etc)
– Will require a BT headset for Calls and wireless music playing
– I’m waiting for my tablet bag and gadget organizer to arrive.
Let’s see how comfortable we can get when we ALWAYS bring this device along and check the experience on both battery and convenience for travel.
