Cube i7 Stylus Windows 10 Ultrabook Tablet PC

I don't want to be a parrot and repeat everything that has been said about this tablet already, because the video posted, and the reviews so far have been spot on. But I do want to add to this things legacy from an artistic point of view.

This bad boy can handle large .psd files, like 8000x6000 pixels, with multiple, heavily detailed layers. I own a Intous Pro tablet (which btw, the pen did not work for on the Cube I7 Stylus. It works fine with the one they offer here on the site though) that has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is double what this tablet can do, but the extra 1000 levels barely makes a difference if you work at a large resolution file, then re-scale it down for your finished product. (Which you should be doing anyway)

Or if you already have a powerful computer rig set up already for your artistic needs, this is a wonderful tablet for those always on the go. Do your linework on this, and even your preliminary coloring and even 3 tone shading, then transfer the file and touch up with your more powerful rig. This has the advantage of a screen that you can write on, so you won't have anymore perspective, or aspect ratio problems. You no longer have to suffer the unnatural problem of writing down on a table, but needing to look up at the screen to see the strokes you produce. And for cheap too.

I've seen the prices for Wacom's Cintiq pen displays. Some of the cheapest models, that only act as a pen input, and screen display will already cost you 800 plus dollars. But the Cube I7 Stylus is a tab

Suggestion

It is a uncommon product, meaning the community of owners is small. It will be hard to find support should something go wrong, and if you have any additional questions about it, you either have to find the answer for yourself, or ask people who own the thing too. (Example, I want to know if it can support 64, 128, 256 gig SD cards, BEFORE I actually buy one)

I don't know if the 16:9 aspect ratio for tablets is popular still, but the Best Buy by me didn't have a screen protector that would fit this 10.6 tablet. You'd have to order one online specifically made for the Cube I7 Stylus on AliExpress or Ebay, or just buy a screen protector meant for another model tablet, then just cut it down accordingly.

This tablet can heat up pretty quick so, be wary of sitting it down on clothed material, like your couch, carpet, bed, or whatever.

I purchased this tablet to replace my Samsung ATIV Tab 7, an $1100 purchase I made a few years ago. My intention was to use this similarly as a portable drawing tablet, and it has so far performed almost equally well, and in some cases better.

-Performance is comparable to generation 1 or 2 Surface Pro or Ativ Tab 7. The CPU is slower and that will show in places, but it even handles high-resolution canvases admirably.
-The screen is great. Though it is lacking in color reproduction especially around the deep blue part of the spectrum, it handles deep pink/purple better than my ATIV Tab 7, looks a lot clearer and nicer, and doesn't seem to have any ghosting issues or temporary screen burn-in when icons or images are displayed in one place for too long. Overall, I feel like it's displaying colors with a decent level of accuracy.
-You get about 50 GB of free space in the SSD for your own use. I could see this being a problem for some, but personally I find that the RAM is more important. I can pack the basic programs I need on here and my drawing programs, have OneDrive sync my current working files, and still have most of that space left over to consider games and other things. It takes up to 64 GB MicroSD as well, so if I need more storage I already have that covered.

Suggestion

-My major concern is the Windows installation. It is possible that there was an error on my part, but the Cube i7 Stylus comes with a Chinese Windows 10 Pro installation. I had to fresh install English Windows 10 onto the device in order to use my drawing software, and the included key wouldn't authenticate the install. After trying to authenticate over the phone, the automated service told me the key was not genuine. I'm not sure that's true or not, but it does seem sketchy. It seems that others made the installation switch without issues, so I'm not sure what went wrong. In any case, this could be something to keep in mind when buying one of these. In my opinion, even with a ~$100 Windows key added to the price, the tablet it still worth it.
-The power cord sticks out way too much in the corner, and basically makes it impossible to hold the tablet to draw while it's charging.
-The power cord is also really short, and I can't find a suitable replacement cord so I have to use an ugly extension cord. Also no ground plug on&nbs

Main plus is price. Cheapest possible tablet on full Core M processor.
Size is also matters. Small enough to carry it all the time. And big enough to work comfortable on it.
Lightweight for such size.
Screen is perfect by view angles and color reproduction
Overall performance is great. Much faster in CPU performance compared to Intel Atom tablets and compared to some low end desktop or laptop computers.
Graphics performance is also great.
Wacom stylus support. Ability to use it as drawing tablet without having additional wacom tablet.
Completely silent.

Suggestion

My overheat and reduce performance on heavy load caused by passive cooling
Accuracy of wacom stylus recognition is not so go near screen corners.
USB 3.0 port may not provide enough power for some types of external hard disks
Screen is scratches by stylus and need additional glass protector if you use it or draw a lot.

A lot of power under the hood, much more than I expected. A lot depends on your individual needs but I would say most prosumers, students and casual users will be more than happy with what's on offer here. I have personally never come close to using up all the 64GB and I have a 2TB external drive for backup purposes anyway. The actual design is compact and portable, exactly what's needed for a device of this nature. The WACOM pen is a great addition as well; don't use it that much but it comes in handy when required. CPU is also very power-efficient so that helps with battery life. Overall, great package.

Shipping speed a bit slow but worth the wait once it arrives :)

This one’s a keeper, I can safely say I’m enjoying the performance of this tablet and it’s good to see Cube have fixed the USB 3 speed issues the first i7 had. The USB 3 port functions as it should and the new smaller design is priced very competitively. Cube continue to impress me with their build quality and set the standard for a value for money Core M tablet. Great performance, a decent screen, fast SSD. Sure no tablet is perfect, they all have something. But for the price, this is a decent Core M powered tablet considering you also get Wacom stylus support if needed.

Fast shipping, excellent and prompt communication. Very fast tablet for reasonable price. Bright display is easy visible during sunny days too. Visibility at 25% is comparable to 100% at my son's Teclast X98Plus. Build quality is excellent. It is fully functional computer (2 in 1 tablet). It is easy to run virtual machine like VMWare Player to run Win XP and old softwares. Also Matlab runs smoothly. Really good tablet for people who need fast machine not only for playing games, but for also for working where the computing power is necessary.

Suggestion

64GB SSD is not enough for all I need 128Gb SSD would better.

Coolest thing I've bought this year. Wanted to jump on the Win 10 bandwagon and saw this on gearbest. 2 weeks later, rocking the new OS on an ultraportable device. Display is fantastic for working, browsing, movies, etc. The CPU is also FANLESS so it's completely silent. At first, this is a bit unsettling if you've never used a fanless CPU before. But you'll be happy with it because silence is golden :) HDMI output is awesome to use, very versatile and useful to have that. Everything else works seamlessly together. Two thumbs up!

● Amazing 10.6: screen on this: top notch FHD (1920 x 1080)
● The spec list is excellent and you get some FAST yet nice performance right out of the box
● 64GB SSD is really responsive and a godsend for people who have only previously used mechnical HDD
● Everything screams quality about this; so many ppl ahve asked me about it lol
● Good price for what you get, much cheaper than some alternatives, e.g. Surface Pro 3
● Really professional sales and service (yay gearbest)

What I was looking for was a tablet powerful enough to allow me to use the desktop version of Adobe Lightroom 3.6 while I'm travelling or resting on my sofa at night. The Cube i7 Stylus does fulfill my expectations with a snappy performance and a good display. The wacom digitizer offers the plus to apply local adjustments "painting" on the screen like you use a real brush.
A good battery life is a welcome plus.

Suggestion

The screen is good but it does not cover 100% rgb space and a bigger hdd would be a nice option.
A 10,6" screen is the lowest option to work on a picture (unless you connect a second screen to the hdmi output)

This tablet is awesome if you are looking for a laptop replacement, since this is basically a laptop without the keyboard. Its amazingly fast and responsive and its definitely worth every cent! One more thing in the review's of this tablet everyone keep's saying it supports an SD card up to 32gb, and simply that ain't true because i just tested it out and it works flawlessly with a 64gb sd card!

Suggestion

its pretty heavy for a tablet and a little on the thick side, but all in all i think its still ok
