Hi,
Well dual boots are good because you get the best of both OS’s. However, it comes at the sacrifice of storage as it’s split of course between the two operating systems. Normally more for Windows and less for Android. So on a 64GB eMMC It’s around 28 GB for Windows and Around 12GB for Android, it varies alot on the different brands. 64bit OS or not etc. But in general try to stay away from 32GB dual boot’s it’s never enough.
- You didn’t mention if you needed a keyboard or what size you prefer? 9.7″ or 8″
- The Z8300 can handle LoL, and some other light titles. Older games like HL2, but on low res like 800 x 600.
- Most of the Z8500’s and Z8700 throttle. Even the Surface 3 X7 Z8700 I had got to 85 degrees.
- Normally you can’t install the apps to microsd cards without messing about with moving to sd apps etc
- If you format the microsd card to Fat32 both OS’s can read it. Or partition it, first partition NTFS for Windows and second fat32 for Android. Only Windows can read the first partition, so the Android side will not be detected in Windows. And normally Android doesn’t read NTFS by default.
My Chuwi Vi8 Plus doesn’t throttle. Neither did my X98 Plus (But it’s GPU is weaker, however good battery life one of the best)
Hope that helps.

Ordered and waiting for my: BMAX S15 & Teclast F6 Plus
Currently testing: LG G8X & Redmi K30January 31, 2016 at 1:18 am #24514Thank you Chris for comprehensive reply. I don’t need keyboard to be bundled and screen size I look for is 10″.
So far my mind was set for Teclast X98 pro or X16 pro /power. Reading both forums I got worried reading about the problems on both tablets. Both software and hardware related. Are there really so meny issues with them or people just tend to write when they have a problem but not when everything is working fine?
Price wise I would choose x98 pro but reading about pro+ got me thinking. It there a sense to wait for the improved version? Are there any sings that this is really happening outside south Korea? I noticed that gearbest don’t have x98 in stock now and accepting preorders for a release in late February. Would this suggest new batch? Maybe improved batch?
What do you think?
Thank you for your help.
