    Hi all.
    First of all, sorry for my bad english, it’s not my primary language :).
    As I am very pleased with my Cube iwork8 ultimate, I decided to look for something more advanced and usable.
    My requirements are:
    – at leas 10 inch, Full HD
    – stylus support, for taking notes, drawing very simple sketches
    – keyboard dock
    – enough power to run chrome and 2-3 simple apps at the same time (spotify, some pdf reader, excel or word)
    – enough power to watch 1080p movies and browse internet on second display (my daily routine :P)
    Most of the time, i use my tablet connected to desktop monitor, for watching movies and web browsing, but also i need it for taking notes and simple text editing or simple DTP.

    I narrowed my choices to three models.
    Acer Switch 10 (FHD, 64GB)
    Pro: aluminium case, gorilla glass, fully convertible, 500gb hdd in keyboard dock
    Doubts: 32-bit windows. Wouldn’t be a problem, if it is possible to install 64 bit with no problem and all drivers would work fine. 2gb of RAM and Z3735F CPU.

    I can buy used in almost perfect condition with 1-year producer warranty for little less than 250$.

    Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130, Core i3 version
    Pro: gorilla glass, SSD m2 drive, 4gb of ram, i3 CPU, replaceable battery, desktop docking station
    Doubts: it’s post-leasing unit, condition unknown (seller declares very good), no wifi module (need to buy separately), active cooling, keyboard dock is hard to find and costly, not fully convertible (tablet cannot be inserted into the keyboard facing screen away from it), I have seen people have many issues with this model. Site admin knows best what I’m talking about.

    Model I can buy has no wifi module and SSD drive, but I can get it for less than 200$. Adding wifi and SSD, price will be still less than 250$. 3-month seller warranty.

    Cube iWork10 flagship/ultimate (64gb version)
    Pro: new, full aluminium case (keyboard and dock), fully convertible, 4gb of ram
    Doubts: no solid info on stylus, warranty is an illusion (sending it to china will take it forever and will not be cheap), no ssd, no internal battery or storage in keyboard dock.

    So, can anyone address my doubts and advice me on those options?
    What is difference in performance between those models?
    I’m also opened to any other suggestions, but my budget is 250$ top.

    Thanks in advance, Darek

    I will choose Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130~ 

    1.I3 is better than atom in daily use ~~~  because it’s better single core performance,and the main board of a core tablet always has a better DIY possibility ,ssd and wifi moudle are not expensive. (you should ask if the tablet have the socket for them )

    2.z3735f can’t run 64-bit windows os because the efi system,but it can run android x64-_-,the dual os 3735f board always have two efi one for win8 32 and one for android 64~~~~really strange

    3. 2GB ram is not very enough for 64 bit os ,and win 10 alway need more ram~~

    ENGLISH is not my primary language too,I’M IN China
