Seems this thread can be converted to Budget Windows 10 tablets aka china branded tablets, or alternative than branded (acer, lenovo, asus) windows 10 tablets.

Not everyone got the "high" budget for branded tablets, so this thread is about those alternative branded tablets, especially for budget consent, students or casual users.

There are few alternative brands, such as
- Xiaomi
- Cube
- Teclast
- Chuwi
- Jumper
- Pipo
- Voyo / Vido
- Onda
- JOI

Where to get them? For JOI series can be bought from SNS network (they bring it locally) and also Teclast also got bring in some models too. The rest can be get from gearbest or lazada (oversea import)

The recently newly launch Joi 11 looks really good with two optionals keyboard type.

also depends on what you use for.

most of the time on the go, office, word and some movies, browsing. Yeah seems good but anyone actually already using it? How it goes? Teclast I read a lot bad reviews hence I skipped it.

I just noticed joi 11 is bay trail, while chuwi hi10 pro is using cherry trail.. skipped joi 11..

JOI 11 Intel Atom x5-Z8350 is bay trail?
i am not too sure on this.

eh, my mistake ..it was joi 10*, read some review wrote it as joi 11..probably their typo's.

anyone using joi 11? how was it?

edit: when i search thro lelong.. joi 11 z3736.. weird..even in youtube

This post has been edited by GameSky: Mar 11 2017, 09:44 AM

I believe that's the old model. The newest one should be here

yes, i just check also. there is a old and new model.
they should have name it a little different like for example Joi 11s or Joi 11x.

i doubt you get any review considering it is just launch like a week ago. The Chuwi Hi10 Pro has 64gb storage.

and 32gb for Joi 11 (2017) is a bit turn off.

edit:
old model Z3736F
new model Z8350

the naming kinda confusing

yeah..the name most on lelong still joi11 as well.. but older model..and new model also joi11?

yeah chuwi hi10 pro seems got larger space and much more ports..but problem is local doesnt have..only via lazada import.

or any other brand recommended?

i just saw Gearbest having sales...

CHUWI Hi10 Pro
http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_580292.html?wid=21
$159.99 x 4.6 = rm731 hmmmm....

there are quite some other models that i would have like, like this:
http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_557447.html?wid=21

CHUWI Hi13 2 in1 Tablet PC - SILVER
13.5 inch 3K Screen Windows 10, Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3450 Quad Core 1.1GHz, 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, 10000mAh Battery

you've bought from gearbest before? hi13 seems good but out of budget atm

you are right, the price is heftier hanging around rm1,500

im thinking to get chuwi hi10 then..any experince buying from gearbest?

double post

This post has been edited by GameSky: Mar 12 2017, 10:51 AM

sorry bro, no experience there but i heard its not bad.

here is some reference...
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3620910/all

wow... i am hook on the Chuwi Hi13 but bringing it in above rm1.5k will attract kastam to put some tax hahaha...

further digging seems chuwi got problem on failure rate.. lol.. my other choice would be cube series now.. probably iwork 10 flagship.

From techtablets rating,
Chinese tablet brands in terms of their build quality:

My own personal experience with these tablet brands, I rank them as follows in terms of build quality:

Xiaomi
Cube
Teclast
Chuwi
Jumper
Pipo
Voyo / Vido
Onda
https://techtablets.com/recommended-chinese-tablets-brands/

Normally I'd google up some brand's failure rate and problems before purchasing... seems chuwi got high failure rate :|

This post has been edited by GameSky: Mar 13 2017, 11:11 AM

buy JOI then since it cover by local SNS Network Sdn Bhd warranty.

their new joi 11 not yet available? the joi 11 at lelong and lazada all are older bay trail..weird they share the same naming..

Preorder here?
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe...iewform?c=0&w=1

how good is joi 11 pen?

wait first batch sheep try first..lol

sadly Chuwi has such a reputation. hopefully they will improve in QC and other brands also offer similar "Chuwi Hi13" specs and level.

here is the a little comparison in the future... hahahaha
Chuwi Hi13 + keyboard = estimated rm1,750
Acer Switch Alpha 12 - Core i3 = rm2,400

i am not in a hurry to get one, my laptop is still surviving but my next home/work device will be a 2-in-1

i find that my minimum requirements is:
12 inch + Full HD
Apollo Lake CPU
4GB Ram
32gb Memory

seems chuwi failure rate is quite high:|... so skipping that.
apollo lake tablets atm not so much choice, so far other brand would be onda xiaoma 11

was same with gamesky eyeing with chuwi hi10 pro, seem change target as well :|

it seems interesting but after checked other forums and official forums..seems their failure rate is quite... well.. other I'd suggest is Cube iwork10 ..seems got better build quality.

http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_362211.html ..apparently after checked with few model like cube, chuwi.. the usb c rated at usb 2.0 tho..weird enough.

This is another brand, i saw carry by local dealer.
did some search, this voyo vbook v3 actually release a new model with n4200 processor just recently,
this is older model with z8300

yeah but it costs more tho.. around 2k+

999 this 1 seem more worthy

better other brand than chuwi tho

Lenovo IdeaPad MIIX 310-10ICR 80SG002PMJ 2-in-1 Laptop(Intel Atom/4GB/64GB/10.1˝Touch/W10) Silver


there is lenovo new miix 310 as well. hmm.....

http://www.lazada.com.my/lenovo-miix-310-1...r-17234038.html

i have chuwi hi10

it's a good, cheap atom-powered win10 tablet with plenty of rams and nice hi def screen

but

it's fragile as fu

one drop and it breaks

fortunately replacement glass is cheap. RM52 shipped from china (lazada)

add another rm50 to pay ppl to install

I'm thinking of the Lenovo Miix 320, launching in April. Not sure of pricing - prob around 1.2 - 1.5k with W10 only and keyboard.

Been reading on the forums to generally avoid the China brands due to poor support, high failure and complications with W10 / Android dual boot.

replacement screen is cheap! considering that is one of the most expensive & easily break item of any mobile devices.
might i inquire how high you accidentally drop from? (just curious).

how much you brought at that time? for the whole Chuwi Hi10?
i hope Teclast brings in more unit & variants. they are the only china brand that seem to set up shop here.

Hey gameSky, maybe we should setup some sort of business to bring in all these other China Brand.
hehehehe

i should mention, it;s the glass that cracked

not the display panel

but i guess it's still cheap

bought 2nd hand from a fellow forummer for rm500+ IINM. it looks brand new (leftover from previous project). some scratches, battery last about 6 - 8 hours of office work.

how the glass broke? i accidentally sitted on it. LoL

but for the price, i am ok. i pair it with a logitech wireless keyboard (that small dongle always plugged in)

the usb3 is blazingly fast if you need to transfer laarge files

camera is so so. disable dual boot because i no need anoher android tablet.

for miix 310 already rm1.2k +, so 320 might be 1.4-1.5k

btw just purchased the cube iwork 10 flagship, similar spec to chuwi hi10 pro.. once arrived will do a quick review

it's not that I don't prefer branded, just some branded like older asus on bay trail still sells like 1499 here

teclast seems quite reasonable, another one is joi (which kinda marked up abit)..
cube, onda, seems have good reputation outside china it seems..after tons of readings lol


luckily just glass ..if panel better buy new one lol

rm500+ i dont mind at all. its just serve me at home to watch porn and ban kopitiam forummers

oh wai

i mean to surf and moderate lyn forum

reasonable enough..owai

just got my cube iwork10 tablet, bought from gearbest


Attached thumbnail(s)

nice bro! congrats on your new device.

how much did you pay all in? including delivery charges?
did you have trouble with the kastam?

I bought some accessories like cover and bluetooth keyboard, so all total around 90x myr... and no, no kastam charges... ordered on 15th, using the dhl shipping method and this morning got the tablet (technically it arrived at Saturday, but local dhl seems awal tutup office)

So far so good, obviously no where near surface pro performance but for casual it should be enough already.. ips screen is quite clear.

congrat on ur new purchase.
u get the keyboard of original cube or?

im waiting miix 320 as advised, then only compare....as im not rushing to get 1 yet.

i dont get the keyboard dock..i opt for bluetooth one instead

new one coming from Teclast... Teclast X3 Plus Apollo Lake 2-in-1

11.6-inch 1920x1080 at 16:9
6GB’s of RAM
Celeron N3450 (Apollo Lake) CPU
Windows 10 Home
6800mAh Battery

the specs is not bad albeit the battery seems insufficient but if price nicely, it would be a strong contender for the mid entry 2-in-1. but then again, Teclast Malaysia hardly bring in anything on this level so don't keep your hopes up. connectivity looks like one full size USB plus a micro usb port.

beware of budget tablet battery life.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Teclast-Tbook...w.208580.0.html

https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/tbook-10-battery-life/

both of the articles i went though, your opinion is it only Teclast Tbook 10 cause both articles referred to it. mainly the issue is battery calibration and android software optimization that causes the poor battery management according to it. there was one or two cases of battery problem.

a lot of reviews by techtablets.com shows that china brand tablets & 2-in-1 have quite some good battery longevity, when you factor in the price that you are paying, it is quite well worth it.

battery life is quite good... my cube iwork 10 still got 42% left..used since 9am till 4pm ...word..online..some kodi streaming

This post has been edited by GameSky: Mar 30 2017, 04:18 PM

Thinking of getting this cube iwork10 for meeting clients, presentation etc.

But gearbest seem out of stock. Anywhere else can I buy it? Lazada can be trusted? Price at RM862

How about Teclast Tbook 12 Pro at RM1230?

http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_362211.html
still got... lazada can be trusted... but marked up price...mine include accessories only around rm90x.. if lazada tablet alone already rm11xx

Thank you! Not many unit left I see

But the wife support dual band? of just 2.4Ghz?

my wife is fine.. lol.. you mean wifi.. yeah it's 2.4...for dual band there is other model but bit more expensive tho

hey guys, was thinking of getting the mipad 3, but im not sure if it's possible to connect it to external monitor/projector.

do u guys have any other recommendations.?

its purely for work and web surfing

haha my bad. Ok thanks. It ok I guess since I got my own USB dual band wifi adapter.

I think I might go with this one. It seem to fit nicely on my preferences. Low budget, good specs, lighter than laptop, have both OS thus solving my main problem when meeting clients which is windows 10. So troublesome to carry laptop and searching for power outlet.

Hi guys, am wondering if anyone encounter with cheap-China-made 2-in-1 detachable tablet PC like Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi? (https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Notebooks/ASUS_Transformer_Book_T300_Chi/)

my requirement is:-
1) decent processor
2) >= 4GB RAM
3) more than 11" but less than 14" screen
4) solid keyboard (not like the Microsoft Surface Pro type cover)

I saw the Chuwi Hi13 (http://en.chuwi.com/product/items/Chuwi-Hi13.html) but I'm not sure about the processor performance compare to Intel Atom

Thanks in advance.

core m should be faster

yea..if possible I would get with processor >= Core M but kind of less tablet with Core M/intel i except for those high-ends tablet pc

whats your budget and usage?

around RM2k since Acer Switch Alpha is around RM2.5k with i3, 4GB
usage will be normal web browsing, but sometimes might need to use for programming...

if heavy i3 or i5 then...since you're into programming..

but China-made tablets doesn't have much/no option for Intel Core i
my programming usage will be minimal...so I think Core M is enough..

worst come to worst, need fork out extra money to get decent tablet-PC like Asus, Acer, or even Surface Pro...

a little more and you might as well get the Acer Switch Alpha 12S Core i3. with some coupons i think you maybe can lower it to 2.3K

at least the Acer Switch Alpha is a proven device and fanless.

that would be my last option, forking out extra money for it.
am researching for China-made tablet PC since will be much cheaper.

other would be apollo lake aka new intel celeron...beside core m

Celeron compare to Atom which is better? sorry, i left out from processor's benchmark...

here is a reference score which gives you an idea on CPU performance on the lower end models, i also added two Core-U processor just for comparison.

this comes a bit late but there are some not too bad value deals here.



i just saw this...

Joi 12
Core M3-6Y30
12.2" FHD IPS
4GB Ram
128 SSD
+ keyboard
rm1,999

Trying to get a note taker tablet. So kena ada active pen support minimum palm rejection no need multi pressure as not mau lukis nak amik note saja.

-----------------------------------------


by the way Gamesky, have you use powerbank to keep your Cube iWork10 powering up when you move about? thought about asking your experience.

This post has been edited by chaosneo: Apr 20 2017, 03:23 PM

chuwi failure rate is kinda... just google it up, looks elegant but ..not sure if latest model also got the same disease.

and yes, it can be charged by powerbank, now i'm using my xiaomi 16k mah powerbank to charge my tablet when i'm on the go

reformatted the stock windows partition, and reinstalled with my win 10 pro key.. now my tablet smooth as butter.

seems the default stock windows 10 macam something wrong, or entah apa those chinese manufacturer add in..always got cpu spikes.

now after clean format, no more spikes.

what model u using?

cube iwork10 flagship aka the TFL model one

Cube iwork 10 vs Joi 11

which 1 is better & value for money?

should be almost the same, but iwork 10 comes with 64GB while joi 11 (2017) comes with 32GB

for this alternative windows tablet, is the ram important? is the 4gb ram variant better than the 2gb?

im interested with mipad 3, but not sure if it can support external display. do u guys know if it supports external display, or maybe u guys have any recommendation that is similar.?

with nowadays applications, 4GB is the standard

probably you could try usb c to hdmi, tho not sure if that will work or not..but i don't think xiaomi includes mhl support

cant seem to find anyone or any seller willing to verify. i've asked few sellers, some said can, n some say cannot. saw some reviews that mipad 2 dont support external display, even with usb c to hdmi.

afaik xiaomi products doesn't support any mhl out, or display thro port... one way to save the licensing cost.

if windows, best go with 4gb ram. it makes way smoother browsing experience.


there are some tablets in the market that comes with micro hdmi output, you can try looking at alternatives. i try to list out some later.

This post has been edited by chaosneo: May 15 2017, 04:04 PM

most tablets got micro HDMI output, except xiaomi's

yes you are right bro, almost all brands also offer micro HDMI output. just to list a few...
- Cube iWork 10 , Intel X5-Z8300 , 4GB Ram , ROM: 64GB
- Cube iwork1x , Intel X5-Z8350 , 4GB Ram , ROM: 64GB
- Teclast Tbook 11 , Intel X5-Z8300 , 4GB Ram , ROM: 64GB
- Teclast Tbook 16 Pro , Intel X5-Z8350 , 4GB Ram , ROM: 64GB
- Chuwi Hi12 , Intel X5-Z8350 , 4GB Ram , ROM: 64GB

generally, most of them are about the same. it just depends on screen size & screen resolution.

if can wait a bit, i think most of them are slowly updating their lines to make use of the Intel Apollo Lake N3450 which is about averaging 35% boost of performance from Z8300/Z8350

for apollo lake seems promising..so far branded like acer already start pushing new one ...cube, chuwi i think also got dy..

Needed a cheap Win 10-based tablet to run Betaflight, Mission Planner and Librepilot, coz I'm sick and tired of having to plug my drones' flight controllers to my PC to tweak them.

Then I found JUMPER EZPAD 6 on Banggood that costed me only RM650 incl shipping after coupon discount etc.

11.6-inch screen, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, 7000mAh batt, X5-X8350 CPU.

The keyboard costed another RM160 on Lazada.

That comes up to just RM810 all told for an amply specced Cherry Trail Windows 10 tablet/ultraportable. Hell yeah....!

Beats having to browse old used stuff on Mudah.
