Air III vs x98 Plus

[javldrc]

Hi,

I’ve been looking at reviews for weeks and, in the end, I’m almost as in the beginning 🙂

I want a tablet for studying, video streaming, web and casual games. Right now I have 2 options that I think that meet my needs regarding CPU&RAM:

x98 Pro -> about 160€

Air III -> about 130€

In my home I have some Wifi issues. In my bedroom, for example, my phone and my Asus tablet connects fine to the Wifi but my Chinese tablet (Pipo) can hardly connect and it’s a pain in the back to open any web (I’m specially concerned about the Air III because I’ve seen some threads talking about WiFi issues in this tablet). I’m also interested in the battery life of course so… can you help me, please? What is the best choice?

Thanks!

Study? Would you need a keyboard? Cube iwork10 Ultimate I think is a good little light study, gaming, web and video machine. And the keyboard is really good.

If you must have one of those 4:3 I would get the X98 Plus. Better battery life, faster MicroSD card support and 2GB more RAM and that 64GB makes it all worth it. Just keep in mind it’s an Atom tablet, so not the fastest of machines. But still about to do light tasks and games just fine.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your feedback. I don’t really need a keyboard, I will only read PDFs and watch videos 🙂 In fact I have a Vivotab with Stylus that I usually use as notepad. Also (unfortunatelly) most of the videos depend on a applications that is currentry only supported in Android and IOS so I need Android or dual-boot tablets 🙁

Is the same the Ultimate and the Flagship? I can’t almost find information about the ultimate… Is it a dual-boot tablet? I’ve seen this one -> http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_325534.html

EDIT -> Found! It looks like it’s a Win only tablet, the Flagship is dual boot, is the same hardware? -> http://www.banggood.com/Cube-Iwork10-Ultimate-64GB-Intel-Atom-x5-Z8300-Quad-Core-10_1-Inch-Windows-10-Tablet-PC-p-1024954.html?zf=354812&p=JQ26063548122013115Y

Are the battery and Wifi performance better in the Cube than in the Teclast? Based on yout experience, are the z8300 and z3735 good enough to support web browsing and video playing/streaming without lag? Forget about the games (the games that I usually play run in a PiPo Max M1 :))

PS: congrats on your website, by far this is where I found the best and most accurate information about Chinese tablets 😀

Thanks!
