i7 Book Purchase Help?

[Papa Yoyo]

1- I bought for £222 from Banggood. Three week delivery, no taxes, all good. There’s a 18% off coupon code: ceb380

2- Any bluetooth keyboard will work. I’d recommend the original keyboard as it’s a perfect fit, provides protection for the screen when in transit, has adjustable angles, two usb ports and looks good.

3- Get a rubber tipped Samsung Note 3 or 4 stylus for a few $ on ebay. Used is better as 99% of new ones are cheap copies. Also the Fujitsu pens are really cheap, with two-buttons and eraser.

4- No. Be very careful which USB-C charger you get. Very few provide the correct PD (power delivery) requirements. There’s a thread on here about which ones work. There was mention of i-voler, ravpower and mac ones working.

Be aware that a new updated version, the i7 Mix is now out, with improved specs.

Hi,

Just to add that the charger I used on my i7 Book (Sold it now) is the iVoler 60W and it works perfectly. Also charges my Mi Notebook Core M3 and other type-c devices perfectly. Yes, the Mix Plus is coming it’s going to be marginally faster approx 10-14%, but more expensive. The Mix has the exact same keyboard, design and Wacom pen just it’s now all in white and silver.

Thanks for your help, both of you!

I will definitely take be getting that stylus. Just did a bit of research on the Mix Plus. Seems like it could be good, so now it’s really just a choice between the power increase of the Mix Plus versus the value of the i7 Book.

I was wondering about this. When you say “exact same”, that means it works with the CDK09? I can’t find the Mix’s keyboard for purchase anywhere.

Oh yeah, Chris, I don’t know if you’ve received the device yet but do you know if they added the thermal pad? Or will we find out in the review?
