Cube Mix Plus or Cube i7 book

[Drachenherz]

Well, according to this site, http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-m3-6Y30-vs-Intel-Core-m3-7Y30/m38171vsm196956

the core m3 7y30 is about 20 to 24 % faster than the core m3 6y30, and the mix plus has a 128 GB SSD instead of a 64 GB SSD… The rest of the specs is the same with the two tablets, so… They both are more or less the same value for the money at these prices.

I was in the same situation as you. I went for the cube mix plus, because of the slightly more power and the larger ssd. And I actually prefer white to the blue-green of the i7 book.

They are not the same value. If you have i7 book, then it might not be wise to upgrade, but if you are buying new only choice is mix plus. Cpu is more efficient and powerful, and ssd is twicr the capacity, if you upgrade i7 book ssd to match mix plus, you get almost same price, for me choice is clear.

Veidas: Yeah, you are right, in the end, for buying new, the Mix Plus is the better choice, but I meant it like: For what you pay, you get more or less the same value in relation. Of course, when you upgrade the SSD of the book to an 128gb or higher, it will cost more. But you “could” sell the 64GB ssd and get some value back, so…

I meant it like that:

i7 book “as is” for 269.– is Price/Performance wise (get what you pay) more or less the same value Proposition as the mix plus “as is” for 360.–.

I made the same calculations (with thinking about abgrading the ssd to a larger capacity), and Chose the mix plus. If you just want the better device, then it’s clearly the mix plus. But you pay that with 90 bucks more.

I recently had to make that decision too and also chose the Mix plus, but mainly because of the larger SSD. 64GB is nothing and those SD-cards are damn slow..

Another factor was the hardware h265 encoding the new GPU on the mix plus has compared to it’s predecessor. The slightly faster CPU only played a minor role. I think you will see that only in benchmarks, but not in “real life” conditions.
