cube iwork10 vs teclast tbook10?

[windows+android=love]

Hi,

I am considering to buy a dual boot Chinese tablet and narrowed down the choice to iwork10 and tbook10

So far, according to what I found,

tbook10 seems to be overall better tablet with better keyboard (with bettery…) but has useless stylus (which costs$25!!), horrible problems with android mode, bad battery life, and keyboard that is impossible to obtain due to lack of supply

iwork10 seems to be the cheaper choice (keyboard and stylus are cheaper too) with less complain than tbook10 (perhaps because less people use and review it..) but has horrible speakers

 

what should I buy?

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated 🙂

Hi!

I had a look at the tbook10 reviews and specs and here are the differences:

• iwork10 keyboard has 6 rows instead of 5 on the tbook10 one. More keys are better for me.
• bigger 7500mah internal battery on the iwork10. Lasts 5-6 hours depending on your workload.
• iwork10 takes like 5 hours to charge with 5V/2A. tbook10 has a 9V/2A plug and should be faster
• smaller ~1mm gap between glass and screen (~2-2.5mm on the tbook)
• the emmc is made by toshiba. not very fast but ok for me http://imgur.com/tmTmjPY. i think the tbook has a noname one.
• they both weight ~600grams
• no problems with android here
• the microsd card reader breaks after some time for many people. (this is the only major problem for me)
• otherwise the specs are the same. z8300 / 4gb / 64gb / same screen

I am happy with the iwork10, others are not. Just look through this forum. You cant just expect a surface/premium experience for this price.

The only regret I have about my iwork 10 is not getting the USB3 version.  I got the Type-C instead and since this unit doesn’t support fast charger through Type-C, I would have been better off with the USB3 port.

The speaker placement is odd, but even if they were space on each side they would still sound like every other pair of mediocre phone/tablet speakers.

One thing I’m very happy about in this tablet is the Wifi performance.  I get better wifi coverage in my house than I do on my Nexus 6 phone and my older Dell Latitude laptop.  I have two levels and a basement and there isn’t anywhere I can’t go.

I have no tested out a micro sd card on it.  I really need to because I’m out of space on my Windows 10 partition.  These units have had a bunch of problems reading 128GB cards, so I’m going to go with a 64GB card and avoid it.
