xxboxx and SonnyCooL .... i hate you two ... i was reviewing and reading up on this two tablets for a few months now.. and i cant decide between them.. and finally decided to try my luck in lowyat and see got ppl use and review any of these.. so happy when i saw xxboxx review and was reading and almost confirm the teclast x98 air 3g 64 gb (coming out in teclast malaysia by August 2015 as mention in thier fb) and sonny have to go compare to onda v919.. now i back to undecided.. lol..

btw.. nice review.. been banging my wall over onda v919 and teclast x98 air 3g and cube i something.. i rule that one out two months back.. and now i thinking if i should lower down my requirements to the 8" type.. to be honest right now heavily thinking of pipo w4s as its damn cheap.. was considering pipo w3 as well but lack dual boot but comes with their own keyboard.. the pipo w3s is smaller and 32 gb only.. definitely a no no for dual boot.. xda has ppl who can "repartition" the space (got ppl doing it for the pipo w4s) but i think i want to avoid it...

so.. my qs... do you think 8" (pipo w4s is 8" only with IPS screen and lower resolution) is good for "work" as i am trying to replace my old netbook for work as it is "dying" right now.. or i should really just stick with 10 inch screen like the two models you guys have? my netbook now is 10 inch and i am ok with it. second qs.. i was more into teclast as it got micro hdmi port (i dont use but no harm having one) and the "screen" is supposingly brighter than onda but lots of online review says the eMMC is lousier than onda (they say teclast have "random" eMMC and depends on your luck) and teclast is "easily" cracked (screen) on pressure... is it true?

just a second thought.. had you two met and compare them? would like to see that happen and then make a general conclusion which is better between the two i still flip flopping and heavily considering the pipo w4s (very cheap) but i really doubt i would be happy with the 8" screen and very poor speaker... hmmm... back to my "hunt" for answers... and i hope you two can help me

local warranty or not i prefer to have better build quality. sending to claim warranty is always not a good thing hmm... i always worry the 8" screen is not enuf.. but i am using 10" now and i feel its fine... damn.. hand really itchy for the pipo w4s.. the price is half the onda and teclast... time to bang head against wall a few more times hahahahaha...

yes.. hdmi out and better battery.. but onda got better eMMC drive and brighter screen.. teclast have stereo speaker.. but onda less software issue as well.. play store works out of the box.. plus better camera apps stuff.. teclast have better camera but bad camera apps stuff.. argh... why cant they make a "perfect" tablet wuahahahha.. thats why i flip flopping on this two too long that the 8" one looks tempting esp with the pricing.. hmmm...


too bad you are in jb would definitely wanna see more head on comparison.. tech tablet actually have one head to head on comparison on youtube.. that is the one that makes me stop thinking of teclast... coz the screen on max brightness really makes a lot of difference.. and i believe you that UHD screen is "better" but one fella pointed out that having HD and UHD screen on small device (8") doesnt have much difference.. well.. he did say even 10" like yours.. you might not find that much of a difference unless you glue your eye to the screen to see the pixels.. hmmm.. true in the sense you might not feel speed difference but it shows when you play games on it as some youtube videos demonstrated it.. but again i doubt i play game.. hmmmmmmm... and the battery is definitely better... but you pointed out the issue on "not accurate" reporting of how much battery is left.. plus the play store is an issue.. i do plan to use the android side so.. hmmm.. i think my brain will fry real soon if i kept thinking again... argh... as i say.. why cant they make the "perfect" tablet...

so.. as conclusion.. both of you seems to be saying teclast is "better" right? hahahahhaa... time to do final readings and decide... if i still cant.. i think i might risk for the pipo w4s and try to survive on the 8" screen.. coz the price really cheap and being smaller means its more portable as well... hehe...

Btw.. i check yesterday again to reconfrim.. teclast malaysia did mention the 64gb teclast is gonna be out in august 2015... and the pricing to be confirmed.. but got online sellers having them already.. i assume not much difference.. of coz i prefer the original "source" to buy if that is the case.. warranty advantage... so.. i still got two and half months to think about it

thats why i rule cube out long ago.. 32gb and higher price.. if you talk about the cube i6 i rather go for the pipo.. if i7 the cost is off the roof~

opps.. you are right.. teclast is the one with the brighter screen... i went back to look again.. so you are saying the newer models have better eMMC and got playstore? hmmm... that certainly is good news.. ok... if that is the case then its settle... teclast would be a better choice wuahahahha.. now i just have to wait 2 and half months.. and hope ringgit doesnt plunge more.. as of now its kinda expensive already.. hehe..

well... maybe you can shed some lights.. i have look into chuwi vi8, chuwi vi89, onda v919 air 3g, onda v975w (windows only), onda v116, teclast 80h, cube i6, cube i7, pipo w3 (windows only), pipo w3s, pipo w4(windows only), pipo w4s, pipo w8.... and some minor others.. any others that i had missed?

originally i looking at 10" types.. and at that point it doesnt matter if its windows only or android only or dual boot... as i said.. i originally wanted to replace my dying netbook which is 10" and i dunt wanna spend much on it. so i looking basically for a tab with keyboard function (hence pipo w3, pipo w3s as they comes with the keyboard which is connected magnetically to the tab).. and after reading and reading (that was 3 months ago).. i decided dual boot is the way to go... and hence onda, chuwi and teclast.. then after finding out more... i wanted good screen... and ports (hdmi and the full usb 3.0) and the list grew... to which now i am even open to considering 8" type.. and hence why i am getting headache.. hehehe.... i know i know.. i just got greedy.. plus some of the devices i mention reached 1.4k including keyboard and casing.. and so i slowly cut them out of the list..

anyway.. you got any leads on types or models i might have missed? i would like to read about it since i need to wait...

oh.. i also had a look at xiaomi mipad and then waiting for the rumoured 9 inch device from xiao mi since feb.. it all started there.. and then samsung range.. acer transformer eepad.. lenovo thinkpad.. and slowly these few months is fully on the chinese cheap tablets but i dont mind if you can suggest me anything... its got for reading and comparing...

yes.. its called teclast x98 air ii.... i not sure they still produce or not but before i bought my 3g type.. i was wondering what the difference and the price is slightly different and i found out one is 3g (teclast x98 air 3g) and one does not allow sim card and no 3g (teclast x98 air ii).. i just got my 3g one a few minutes ago and hyper excited now

there are others like teclast x80h... i think they dont have 3g..but its smaller version as well..

i got it direct from china.. erm.. need to have agent.. so i dont think you can follow me... you can go to www.teclast.com.my ... teclast x80h... i think that one no 3g... check it out... they also got the p version...
