found a good deal for a tablet with usb port

HTB10BLSOVXXXXb6XFXXq6xXFXXXH.jpg


currently on sale usd 150
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cub...32789172400.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.hXqprS

same model is sgd $300 at qoo10

I have it and I can't recommend

1) Having white spots on the screen is considered normal. My unit #1 has 2 spots. Waiting for the unit #2 probably reaching 2 months later.
2) Has coil whine when docked with the keyboard.
3) Very slow charging speed. The onboard DC-DC converter supplying power to both the CPU and the battery draws around 1A 5V for charging + CPU regardless of CPU load. In Windows mode the power consumption is higher than what the DC-DC converter can supply so you actually slowly loses battery charge instead. And even when in Android mode or switched off, it still takes a long time to charge. For comparison, nowadays handphone can charge >1A and have 3000mAh battery.
4) Seems to use low quality eMMC? Unresponsive and feels like HDD if not worse, opening programs takes a long time.
5) Distorted audio at lower output volumes in Android mode. This is independent of volume setting and is determined by the final volume of the sound (i.e. loud audio file * low volume setting or soft audio file * higher volume setting has the same result).
6) Poor keyboard quality, some issues with capacitive touchpad. Keeps doing "Show Desktop" if touchpad is enabled and you have body part touching places other than the touchpad.
7) Poor touchpad quality. Left click right click are at bottom corners of touchpad. Click and drag cannot reliably work.
8) Inaccurate touchscreen. Cannot click "Show Desktop" button (bottom right) in Windows 10. Is build quality issue because if I rotate screen it works.
9) No 5GHz wifi support
10) In Android mode, screen minimum brightness is too high
11) May be an Intel issue, but audio cannot choose anything besides 16-bit 48kHz in Windows mode.

thanks. no big issues as long as i dont buy keyboard. as for charging issue I guess I need to off and charge.

the sound not an issue. Same on my iwork 8 cannot change from 16-bit 48kHz.

As for low quality emmc, I think deleting unnecessary services, apps and using portable version of apps should help

These tablet PC seems to be the new trend. Is the China Win 10 an issue? Able to switch to english? Possible to connect and print to usb printer?

The iFive Mini 4S is very good...been using about 3-4 weeks now...

only negative is the buzzing sound when earphones are plugged in. Apparently its something that hasn't been fixed yet... The solution is to use bluetooth headset. Otherwise the speakers from the tablet itself does an excellent job.

Buzzing sound is only during plugged in right? after that no more buzzing sound?

received my cube 1x, it has 11inch surface 2 screen. comparing with my current iwork 8

Hxw2YZh.jpg


the jump from 8 to 11 inch is pretty huge as you can see.

battery life from 3~4h is now 9h

having full sized usb port is useful.

the emmc performance is twice that of previous 32gb tablet. there was initially lag and it was hot. had to delete microsoft apps, reduce intel gpu profile to power saving and it doesnt get hot anymore.

less lag when many apps opened compared to previous one which only had 2gb.

speakers sound worse than previous tablet. wifi same.
