Quality seller for quick delivery? New keyboard?

[Lothar]

Hi all,

This is my first time on a forum like this.

I’m pretty much sold on getting an I7 Stylus, it is just a matter of from who. There are also a number of questions I have:

1. Issues with Windows. From who should I buy to make sure I get a legit copy of 8.1 (I am a uni student and fear some of my engineering software won’t work with Windows 10 yet)?

2. Keyboard. In my searching it appears as though there are two keyboards suitable for the I7 Stylus? One has a cavity for the pen on the top right hand side, the other no cavity for the pen.

3. Seller/Store. My university semester has already begun and I don’t want to get caught shelling out cash for a tablet that’ll only arrive in another 3+ weeks. Sure I could by from the cube store themselves, but they’re costing something like AU$150 more compared to gearbest and aliexpress stores. I spent the whole of yesterday trying to find a seller with the keyboard that holds the pen and supplies the pen also. I’m rather absent minded so I REALLY want the keyboard that holds the pen. So much running around due to lack of detail on their websites! Also I see many of you have experienced delays in recieving your items. So who can you recommend is legit and will send quickly for a good price all 3 items?

Some of the sellers I’ve been looking at:

Gearbest don’t appear to sell the keyboard?
http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_211008.html

Really tired of searching, hoping you experienced buyers can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Lothar

Geekbuying units have been reported to use ksmpico too in the forum. So I would stay clear of them.

As of now I recommend using Banggood.com for the i7 Stylus. My version from them had Windows 8.1 Bing and it was 100% legit with a valid key no issues what-so-ever with worries about Windows 10 validation etc later if you upgrade from a KMSpico hacktivated unit.

They have the i7 Stylus here for $359 http://www.banggood.com/Cube-I7-Stylus-intel-Core-M-2_0G-10_6-Inch-Windows-8_1-Tablet-p-981768.html?p=QZ14021624945201505Y

They don’t have the Stylus keyboard in stock. But it does have a holder for the pen and 2 x usb 2.0 ports on the dock.

I’ve had a few run ins of late with slow Aliexpress sellers and just overall bad experience and since trying other retailers like gearbest and banggood I’ve been happier.

Thanks for the prompt reply Chris.
Yeah, Banggood do seem good, just that they currently don’t have stock of the tablet and don’t expect to have any until the 15th. The keyboard they do have apparently. I know it is only 5 more days, but who’s to say that their stock will arrive on time… things can easily get dragged out. Like I said, university has already started, so I don’t particularly want to let more time pass by on this if there is a legit seller who does have stock. I’ve considered just purchasing the tablet on its own, but then I’d probably end up paying twice for shipping.

Can you clarify, do all the I7 Stylus keyboards have the pen holder or are there two different versions?
