Cube i7 stylus first impression

[warknight]

Thank you for your feedback and review Keven 🙂

It’s great to see you got not problems so far with your tablet, so hopefully my tablet will work great too.

But it seems you also got trouble with the heat, it is bad to hear the tablet gets hot very fast…

I think if everything ok, i need to buy a keyboard so i will avoid to touch the tablet directly. 🙂

Still no news on when the keyboard will ship. Has anyone got the keyboard yet?

 

I chased again last night and still got the usual vague answer…

Btw Windows 10 Insider Program still exist and in my understanding its going to be free also in the future. “Price” you need to pay is that you are going to use bleeding edge pre-release builds and Microsoft logs everything.

Hi guys,

I just sent them a message to get more information about this licence key and I got this reply:

"Good day.
Sorry doesn't have valid key, you can update to windows 10 offical when you get the tablet.
Best regards
jerry-Cube Store"

That’s not good news 🙁

Anyway, I have got one question regarding the Windows 10 upgrade.

Do you need to remove the KMS activation before upgrading? How do you know the KMS tool is not there anymore once the upgrade is done?

Thanks!

If you do a Windows Defender virus scan before upgrading to Windows 10, Windows Defender detect and eliminates KMSpico.

I am so happy I stopped my order before dispatched due to it taking to long for shipping I am now waiting for a refund I can’t trust Ali express  I am having other problems with items and other sellers not playing buy the rules

Hey,

I decided that I rather pay the customs than being caught in a lie and then be fined, it doesn’t worth the risk.

For the custom form, can someone tell me who is the sender?

Thanks!

Yes, the Cube i7 Stylus gets warm in the back fast, over 41 – 42 ºC, but i have to say that a similar tablet like Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140, gets hotter than Cube i7 Stylus, over 53 ºC. Internally, the temperatures are over 80-81 ºC max doing exigent things (almost in my case). The maximum supported temperature for Intel Core M 5Y10c is 95 ºC.

KMS tool is detected as a virus by Windows Defender because it’s and activation hack.
Don’t let them play with us, the tablet is advertised as Windows 8.1 device and I demand legal key for 8.1, not illegal update do Win10.

Let’s everyone with hacked Win8.1 open a dispute and escalate quickly, they have to write silly messages because they don’t have an other option.
But when aliexpress support will see plenty of dispute about hacked Win8.1 they will punish the seller for sure and give us small refund 😉

Is the touchpad a clickpad or just a solid touchpad?

Both. You can “tap” (by touching). You can double tap and it double click. But you can also push on it and it clicks (with the noise). Double push, double click.

 

This is good news, they have improved it over the i7’s gesture only one. Good to see it retains the two full usb 2.0 ports. For the price and value for money this tablet can’t be beaten. Shame about the Windows 8.1 Pro ksmpico issue we are having on the 23rd Sale stock.

I will have to dispute it. I could restore teh Windows 8.1 Bing version from my other one to this new i7 Stylus I have, but that leaves me with an issue as I don’t have a spare 8.1 Bing key. (Unless I use the one from my broken screen Hi8)

As for the heat, I mentioned in my review it does get really hot, up to 43 degrees on the metal housing upper left hand side. But my Dell Venue 11 pro 7140 would get even hotter while it has a big copper heatsink, the outer plastic would get so hot it made the plastic smell like its melting almost and hit around 52 degrees.

All the Core M’s get hot when pushed hard, you have to remember they are passively cooled.

Once my keyboard arrives I will record a short video of it and how it is to type on and dock. I’ve ordered that tempered glass screen protector too for mine as the plastic one is a mess now with marks from the stylus.

Chris, do you reckon that the tempered glass protector won’t interfere with the stylus?

I bought this tablet for notetaking at school, so I don’t want to cripple the feature I originally bought the tablet for.

I will also open a dispute – the smallest amount they refund is still money in my opinion, and after you upgrade to Win10, it will remain Win10. Microsoft’s money is in all the programmes they build – the more dependent the customerbase is (free OS they are used to), the more dependent the software engineers are to write programmes for Win OS.

@hrabovszki-dorottya

It might have an impact, I will have to see, but I think it will be minimal as the glass isn’t that thick. To be honest doubt I will use the stylus much, I have a Surface 3 stylus and hardly ever use it. But I can understand others will use it a lot. I’ll test it out once the protector arrives.

Thanks for the fast answer!

If you dont mind, I know you said you don’t use the stylus that much, but should I buy spare nibs? I don’t see why they are necessary, as I doubt they’d get that worn out so soon, but better safe than sorry.
