A small update.
I received the tablet, I've updated the bios to 2.7. That went well.
I opened it and did the thermal mod with a shim and proper thermal pads. That went well. Shitty procedure, but it worked.
Changed the SSD to a 240 GB one. That went well.
Installed a clean windows 10. That went well.
Installed drivers and tweaked windows for a while to optimize it and remove the microshit spyware. That was boring as always.
I get 33 degrees in idle. 67 on full load. I will use this tablet for internet browsing, skype, watching movies and some touch supported games.
What am I to do with the 128 GB SSD ? Will that sell on Ebay ?
Now my two cents, after building PC for two decades, from a usability point of view vs what it costed :
After a day of use, the battery lasted around 7 hours of just playing with it ( windows tweaking) , no games. Screen was at 40%
I would say it is almost ok, but I would never buy it again. I am a bit sorry about the money now. This is not a product to last a few years. I give it max 2.
The standard charger only outputs 2A. The battery gets charged only 89%. Motherfucker. I wonder if it's Cube or Banggood that chose that charger.
Will look into buying a proper Type C charger with PD , around 60W. Maybe that will charge the battery to 100%. ( wasn't the 2.7 BIOS supposed to fix that, or was just to display the correct battery values , work hours and capacity ?)
Anyway, it was fun, but never again :) I am looking now for a screen protector, the keyboard for it will arrive in a couple of days.
