I was just about to ask if there was a tempered glass screen protector available for the i9- really good to see that cube are supplying them.

Can someone report back on the quality of it in the future?

I’m not really familiar with m.2 modules and the different types but would something like this be appropriate?

Thanks for the info

[Jason]

I know this isn’t directly to do with this topic, but is there a status led that turns on when the tablet is charging? If so, does it light when charging though usb c? (Obviously it would when charging though the dc jack)

 

[Jason]

I don’t want to start a new thread so I’l ask here:

Can someone tell me if the i9 has a hall sensor? so that when it is closed up against the keyboard cover it sleeps and when opened up again it turns back on.
I’m asking because I don’t think it was mentioned in the review.

[Jason]

That’s great to hear Chris! I bet you feel so relieved about not having a brick now 😉

These manufactures really owe you, as I bet they have had a noticeable increase in sales due to your videos/reviews.

Really looking forward to seeing how the improved i9 compares to your SP4 M3.

[Jason]

Is that still available? -If not, any other coupons available?

[Jason]

I know its a long shot but, I hope Chris receives his unit and gives some opinions on the i9 before the sale ends.

I think I will will hold off buying this for now, I will wait for the stylus version. What swung it for me in the end was that the keyboard doesn’t have physical left and right click buttons- looks like its gesture only 🙁

According to this video anyway – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YqW0O2xqGo

Also it doesn’t look like their ‘new model’ is planned to only have 4gb ram – comment on this vid:

However if the review goes well I might change my mind..

[Jason]

I think it is the official cube seller, yes.

I found another video of the i9 – maybe useful to anyone in Russia looking to get this tablet:

[Jason]

Good to hear yours has finally left China Chris. I’m really considering holding off on this one and waiting for a possible i9 stylus with 8 gb ram.

However I feel like this $399 sale price will never come round again and it could be a mistake in not just getting the i9.

Do you think waiting for a possible updated i9 would be the better option?    I’ve got around 2 weeks to make up my mind…

Hopefully your full review will be out before the sale ends

I also saw a “i8” model being referred to in ads for a Stylus… Perhaps an update of the i7 Stylus with the newer chipset? (hmmm this makes me think about my recent i7 stylus purchase)

In the keyboard listing for the i9 a ‘i12’ model is referenced to, so I doubt the stylus version will be a refreshed i7 stylus. Anything can I can happen though I suppose.

I have also noticed this, if that keyboard fits both the i9 and the incoming ‘i12’ the new tablet must be around 12 inches. Hopefully it does use the screen from the hi12 and is actually the ‘cube i9 stylus’ version that a lot of people are waiting for. This is likely, because the code name for the i7 stylus was ”i8′ (from the geekbench 3 page anyway).

Hopefully this one will have 8 gigs of ram to compete with the teclast x3 pro.

If this turns out to be true, I’l find it very hard to chose between the i9 and the ‘i9 stylus’ because I’m not an artist and don’t really need a stylus- but hopefully it would be much cheaper (like the i7 stylus was compared to the original i7).

This is all speculation atm anyway so none of this is confirmed 😉

Great news about the hub being able to charge the tablet after all!

Looking forward to some battery test results, hopefully it can last around 6 hours with medium brightness.
