potatochobit Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 earlier this year some 99$ tablets came out in china with full windows 10 installs has anyone owned one of these? I loved my surface 3 and 4 but gave them away to family members now I need something to watch 1080P MKV videos in bed looking at an Onda v820w or Chuwi Hi10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I ordered my onda tablet in DEC and it took about 5 weeks to arrive so I got it in january Onda allows you to dual boot windows 10 or android I ordered the latest model z8300 cherry trail atom processor, but of course - after waiting five weeks, I received a two year old discontinued model with z3735f /facepalm, that is what I get for ordering from china off ebay this atom processor is known for overheating and it does here too that means you cant watch HD video for extended periods of time without the processor getting too hot and beginning to throttle causing video to stutter there are many do it yourself heat sink fixes for other brand tablets like HP and dell, copper heatsinks can be bought on ebay for like 5$ not to mention there was other issues like when using headphones, you can hear buzz sounds from the wifi card when downloading content so the conclusion is chinese tablets are still total junk - do not buy for 100$, best buy insignia offers a windows 8" tablet with a z8300 processor and for 200$, you can upgrade to a 10" insignia with detachable keyboard are good options I also recommend the HP X2 for under 200$ or a used 64GB surface 3 tablet can be had USED for 200$ on ebay which has a z8700 if you want something with a real processor, the lenovo miix 510 or 720 have surface 4 pro specs but a few hundred cheaper but no micro SD card support Edited February 8, 2017 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Ok, I ordered a switch alpha 12 it has an i5 processor that uses liquid dispersion to keep it cool so it is fanless it "looks good" on paper, but since it is acer I have doubts about the build quality though I like the brand overall for budget users the lenovo miix 700 can also be had for around 400$ or less which seems to be a good buy whatever model you get, I recommend at least 4GB RAM the 2GB models do seem to bog down some, but are still great for entertainment if you just can't afford more bought a surface pro 4 for a relative last year and it has hanged a few times, I think due to the graphic driver or biometrics stuff and I've had to do a hard reset not sure if most users experience this or not edit: lenovo miix 320 just came out it has 1920x1200 screen atom X5 USB type C and includes keyboard all for 199$ Edited February 27, 2017 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
