X98 Pro v X98 Air II

I do think it’s worth it, the issue of max 86 degrees when gaming, could be my unit. I’m not sure until I get more of them to test later on. If you’re a gamer 3Dmark 11 score is almost doubled. But the issue is my unit is getting so hot it throttles a little and this is having an impact on FPS when gaming for over 30 minutes.

I just did a Air 3G vs Pro Windows store gaming test and games are much smoother on the Pro by far. I can see the difference.

For me personally the best things about the pro are:

I can run my 2560 x1440 monitor at its native res.

Overall Windows 10 has less lag and stutter over the older Z3736F

Chrome is much faster (Eats up ram, so the 4GB helps)

Once it charges to 100% when running it will stay at 100%

So for me its a step up and worth the extra. But for tablet gamers. Might pay to hold off and see if the first batch is running hot or my X5 Z8500 is a hot one. COuld be first batch blues. bad heatsink/thermals as my Surface 3 cherry trail didn’t get this hot.

Could just be a case of the thermal paste bedding and spreading i guess.. OK – i’ll stay the course! then if nothing else there will be someone else for you to compare the drive speeds to etc 😉

You never know, it could I have one with bad thermal paste as you say.

Hi, Chris

I’m new on the forum but following your site quite regularly in the last couple of months. One and only site you must visit if your plan is to buy any Chinese tablet 🙂 Keep up the good work man!

I’m interested about the advantage that Cherry Trail has over Bay trail in programs like Adobe Photoshop and Indesign? If you can compare it, it would be great. I wanna know does CT feel much faster, like you noticed playing games? I suppose that Core M over Bay Trail is another level, so if you can give me your point of view, it would help me a lot in choosing the right tablet. (current dilemma – Air, Pro or Vi10 – all with keyboards)

Best regards

Hey, normaal ben ik niet zo bezig met tablets of techreviews, maar laatst wilde ik even iets anders proberen om te ontspannen en ontdekte ik blazing wildz, een online casino met speciale bonussen voor spelers uit Nederland. Ik begon met hun Mega Wheel spel, en na een paar kleine verliezen besloot ik wat meer risico te nemen. Plotseling viel er een flinke winst uit, wat echt een kick gaf. Sindsdien speel ik er regelmatig om wat spanning te beleven en gewoon te genieten van de spellen. De Nederlandse bonussen maken het extra aantrekkelijk.
