vi10 vs. X98 which one to buy?

[Paul]

Hi there.

I am currently looking into buying my first tablet aimed mostly for University usage (writing down notes, reading PDFs, surfing the web/email and watching lectures over video), and for a little entertainment (Mostly TV/Youtube. maybe a tiny bit of games here and there) I prefer Windows 8 and my budget is up to 200Euro, although willing to push it to 300 if theres a noteworthy upgrade.

Right I’m split between the X98 and the Chuwi vi10(64GB version), was hoping you guys could help me decide or throw me to a new better direction.

My core issues are which monitor would be better for long term writing and reading. The bigger widescreen one of the smaller high resolution?
Which monitor will be better with a stylus(swapping from laptop specifically because you cant type in graphs and drawing).
and which one has better battery life, because I dont want to be chained to a power outlet and rather avoid bulky mobile chargers.

Specifically, looking at these two

Thanks for the assist.

Hi I would go for the Chuwi Vi10, if you must write down notes then you can’t beat the Vi10 with its decent physical keyboard. I found typing on the X98Air is fine, but only sort term. Touchscreen typing can be a bit of a nightmare personally, I find I have so many typos I just give up at times.

Neither of these tablets has stylus support. Only the i7 Stylus by Cube does, but it’s about $350. So over your budget.

Battery life is similar on both, about 7:00 on the X98 and 6-6:30 on the Chuwi
