Teclast x98 plus or cube iwork 10

[Anonymous]

I’m kind of in the same boat but I don’t mind waiting, it really depends on what you want in a tablet and what you generally use it for.

Cube iWork 10 Ultimate:

Cheaper price

Better build quality

Active stylus support

USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 OTG (non powered)

Slightly bigger and brighter screen (16:10 aspect ratio)

Faster performance in native resolution games

Really nice keyboard dock

Teclast X98 Plus:

Better battery

Higher resolution more sharp display (4:3 aspect ratio)

Better speakers

Audio/microphone combo jack

5MP rear camera

Lighter and more compact

Community support for custom Android roms (root access)

Both these tablets are great IHMO, the Cube being 16:10 aspect ratio is better for movies and games.  The Cube also has active stylus and has a really nice keyboard dock.  Overall performance is generally better on the Cube due to lower resolution and better optimization of the chipset.  The Cube is generally a easier product to use since the tablet has less problems and good for those who are not too computer savvy.

The Teclast being 4:3 aspect ratio is great for reading and web surfing.  The Teclast is also a more compact tablet, lighter weight and has better battery life which makes a better mobile tablet.  The Teclast has great community support for custom Android roms and rooting (hacking the tablet), great for those who are computer enthusiast.

If you want the active stylus, wait for ist to be shipped and tested by someone else. That is what I am doing at the moment. I expect it not to be the finest. Wacom ones are the safer call in this case.

What do you mean with “better optimization of the chipset” on the Cube? Aren’t both the same X5 Z8300 and single channel ram?

technically, it’s wacom technology… but it will really depend on how it’s implemented really

Teclast is suspected to down clock the Turbo settings for the chipset on the X98 Plus to save battery, the difference is not much but it’s definitely there plus the lower resolution on the Cube makes it generally slightly faster for all tasks especially in Windows.

On the contrary the Taclast has arguably better power saving optimization, the Teclast sports a 8000mah battery while the Cube has a 7500mah battery it’s technically not that much bigger however maybe the battery quality and power optimizations on the Teclast allows it do go up to 7 hours real life versus 5 hours real life on the Cube.

I say they are both very good tablets if not great by Chinese budget standards, so it really doesn’t matter which OP picks.  He just needs to know what he’s generally using the tablet for to choose one specifically better for his use.

Well wacom stylus have no battery the cube one does. Different tech is used here.

no. wacom has multiple stylus technologies. the gt9110p controller supports wacom n-trig technology, the same that is in the surface pro 3. so technically it IS wacom technology, but that does not mean it will work as well as other wacom based implementations

n-trig is a complete different company from wacom. wacom has nothing to do with the pen of the surface pro 3. n-trig’s stylus have battery too, but wacom’s have none.

Wacom tablets use electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant inductive coupling, no power is required for the pointing device. As a result, no batteries are inside the pen (or the accompanying puck), making them lighter and slimmer. (Wikipedia)

the only tablet I know, that uses the gt9110p chip, is the trekstor surftab duo w1. and this tablet has some custom active stylus with battery, which looks like the cube’s stylus. and there are no good reviews of this particular stylus. this is the reason I don’t believe this Cube’s stylus will be different in a positive way.

you can always buy another more expensive Cube tablet that has Wacom tech built in, rather than Cube 10 that has a wacom knock off. The pen is not good enough from what I read.
