Cube iWork 10 (new version) questions

[Josh]

Luka, would love to have a full review from you as well (or at least a mini-review if you don’t have time)!

I need to order about 12 of these for my company, and I had a hard time deciding between the Chuwi Hi10 and the Cube iWork10 Ultimate / Super. I ended up ordering a single one for testing but it won’t be here for a few weeks. I think it was a new SKU(?) of the iWork10 that includes the 1920×1200 screen but has the lower end 2GB RAM / 32GB storage.

Our employees just need it for basic web browsing, so the lower end model will hopefully do. I am interested to see if it comes with x64 Windows or at least a 64-bit capable UEFI. I know with only 2GB RAM it really isn’t necessary, but I still would like the option to load a 64-bit OS if I can.

Also, if you could provide more information about how you got the touch screen to work with the fresh Windows 10 install, I’d love to hear it. I plan on wiping them all clean when I get them.

I still keep going back and forth between this model, the Chuwi Hi10, and the PIPO W1S. If anyone else has more info or can do a direct comparison between these models, I’d love to hear that too!

I’m beginning to think the silence on the stylus is to clear out stock of Cube iWork 11s. They figure if they advertise the iWork 10 with a Wacom stylus no one will buy the 11s.

I’m not convinced the stylus GB & co are selling is the correct pen. No one else is selling this pen, and So Cube on Aliexpress say the pen won’t be in until the end of the month, which makes me think it really is the wacom 2in1 bamboo smart for windows tablets. They’re only being released for sale by wacom at the end of Feb too.

Just have to wait and see, however, if Chuwi release the hi12 stylus and keyboard, it might be a better option if the stylus looks remotely better than the thing GB are selling.

I have an agent in china that bought this tablet directly from cube store for me, it hasn’t arrived yet but I know that he pay much more money for the the pen, it costs about 30 dollars, so I hope it will be different from the GB pen.

I will take some pictures and make a tiny review as soon as have it in my hands

Sorry for bad English

If I knew how good the stylus is, I would buy it…

But probably no one has is received by now.

Hi Everyone,

Luka,

Could you send a quick message with your notes on booting and restoring Windows partition?

I am having trouble getting this tablet to boot from USB stick.  Formatted stick GPT with Fat32 and copied Windows ROM to it.

Tried using Vol+ while power button reboot.  No response.  Doesn’t know it has a second boot option.

Can anyone offer constructive suggestion?

Ordered hard-shell keyboard thinking it might help with resetting Windows partition. Have been using USB hub with keyboard attached.

Thanks in advance for any constructive support. Regrets if this is a cross-topic posting.

If you want to repair the window you can use the build in function. I think it’s reset your PC (search in search box win10).

The cube IWork must install win10 + android from cube ‘s custom rom. If you try to install win10 from the iso ,even it is microsoft’s, you ‘ll end up with no wifi, no touchscreen, no sensor working. The rom is on the Cube website and some one in this 4rum uploaded it to Gdrive. I managed to reinstall android and win10 successfully, the guide i attatch below (english version by me).

Note that now if you update your andoid (setting>about phone>update), you will get Google play.

Doa nyone know how to disable the touchpad gestures on Windows 10? It is starting to get annoying, when I swip from top to bottom it will always show desktop, which is frequently occurred since the touchpad is so small.

I’ve google it a bit, but I only see settings are available if the correct driver is installed, which it is not provided on this tablet. Do anyone know which driver I should install or way to disable few gestures such as Pinch to Zoom and Swipe from Top to Bottom to Show desktop? I can pinch to zoom directly on the screen rather on the touch pad.

I’m torn between this and the Chuwi HiBook, also a 10.1 inch tablet PC. This one seems to be a little cheaper, $175 at geekbuying while the HiBook is $239.
What do you guys think?

[Laura]

it’s probably the very same tablet (from the same odm) with small differences such as micro-usb 3.0 vs type C and speaker placement

just wait and see how the hibook is when it comes out…

[Pete Scoffield]

Yeah.. Probably, but who knows. Geekbuying just released a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hLjeRa9KWw
Doesn’t look too bad, pretty snappy!

I just bought this tablet (not specifically for the stylus) and got the stylus with it, I ordered 4-7 business day shipping so I’ll report back here with my findings… The stylus looks like a generic capacitive “precision” stylus and not one that has any sort of pressure sensitivity… but we’ll see.

[Pete Scoffield]

Cool! Let us know. 🙂

[ahrlad]

I’ve ordered one of these, along with this non-capacitive stylus from geekbuying: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Original-Cube-CEP02-Active-Stylus-Pen-for-Cube-iWork10-Flagship-Tablet—Black-364168.html

Will let you know how it works. I’ve also got a stylus for the cube i7 tablet, so I’ll check if that one works as well
