My iWork 10 Ultimate Setup and Experience (including Docking Station and Stylus)

[Anonymous]

Interesting, can you link the hub? I’m looking for something similiar

Sure:

But they all should work, because of the same Chip used from Displaylink.

Don’t pay more as 50 Euros for something like that. There are always offers.

What stylus did you get? The one in the picture looks different than the one shown on gearbest.

DOes the tablet even has the power to reroute the display to USB port? Do you experience any lag when moving your cursor or watching 60fps video on the second monitor?

Thats right, because the Gearbest one is only a passive Stylus which is not the Pen specifically for that tablet. You have to buy one from Geekbuying.

The Tablet is charging with Micro USB 2.0 (for the moment 2.1 A but maybe later 2.4 A), because the 3.0 here can’t be used for charging. The Docking Station is powered seperately. It will only work if the Tablet is connected to a charger.

Video test in the next couple of days. No Mouselag and i didn’t assumed that because it’s USB 3.

I am just thinking of the overhead of transmitting display using USB, since it is relatively weak CPU.

Too bad all of the chinese tablet I bought have a broken USB 3.0 implementation, probably I have a bad luck buying those cheap tablet.

Why don’t just buy a PC? A very small ITX i3-6100 skylake PC with PicoPSU probably will cost $300+, and have so much better performance than this tablet. Or buy those chinese i5-5200u fanless PCs for ~$200 if fanless and lower power consumption is a must. I think using tablet as temporary solution is a good enough, but for long run having a dedicated PC is better if you have extra spare money :).

And, I am also looking forward for the new MacBook Pro :). Those rumors about 4x USB-C and OLED touch bar is peaking my interest level.

I didn’t take a look into the task manager, but as I know it shouldn’t be more as 30% which sounds a lot, but I only do light tasks like web browsing or just writing. I don’t need a stationary pc, I also have a Intel Compute Stick at home and this tablet here is faster which is great. The iWork will be my to go device and hopefully a good complement to my future laptop. I really thought a lot about it, if it does make sense to buy a cheap chinese tablet.

I updated my thread with a Video.

Great video!

I see your experience with the pen is quite good, as my experience is relatively bad.

From what I see, the pen will work nicely if you put a bit pressure and write more slowly, just like your video. It seems I am a bit fast writer, so the tablet cannot catch up with my writing speed (my Samsung tablet does catch up without problem, it is a Wacom hardware inside).

Hi. To capture a special event in photographs, you need the services of a reliable photographer who can ensure you get high-quality images that will leave great memories for years to come.
