Weight	1.0kg	1.2kg	1.1kg
Price(Including keyboard)	￥1199	￥1298	￥1198

Appearance contrast:
All these three products use a metal body, while the Champagne gold back shell of the Onda oBook10 tablet is more fashionable and lively. The same as the Cube iwork10 Flagship, both adopts the integrated design of the cover and frame, making the whole body more succinct than the simple metal back shell of the Pipo W1S.

(From up to down: Onda oBook 10 / Cube iWork10 Flagship / PIPO W1S)
1. Shaft keyboard design
All are based on magnetic attraction connection, which can achieve maximum of about 120 degrees to open and close. Pipo W1S is featured with the special lock key, which will be more firm when connect the tablet and its keyboard. Cube iwork10 ultimate can also support reverse swap to achieve its alleged tent mode. However, the keyboard size of the Obook10 is the smallest, F1~F2 keys and the 1~0 key gathered together, somewhat inconvenient to use.
2. Portability
Judging by the total weight added the keyboard, the W1S is the lightest. Because the whole back shell mainly used the plastic material. Obook10 has the slimmest thickness, while has a middle position on the weight among these three models. In total, all adopts a 10.1 inch screen, the Portability difference is much smaller, and all are  relatively light and compact.
3. Interface
Pipo W1S is equipped with the standard USB 3.0 port on the tablet, while Cube and Onda are equipped with Micro USB port on the main tablet, and Obook10 has no USB 3.0 port. In addition, there are also two USB 2.0 ports on the keyboard of the iwork10 Flagship. On the Interface contrast, the Onda tablet has least dominant. By the way, as for the out sound effect,oBook10 is still a little weaker with the single speaker design, and W1's dual speaker design is the most scientific. Overall, the out-sound quality is general, sharp voice, not too large volume, compared with the large screen size notebook, there is still a significant gap.
Screen contrast:
Pipo w1s and Cube iwork10 Ultimate both have a 10.1 inch FHD screen, compared to the Onda oBook10 which has the same screen size while with a HD resolution, they are sure to show a better an unprecedented clear, sharp, fresh and smooth visual sense. The advantage of the Onda tablet is there will be no blurring Font of part of apps because of the Resolution compatibility of the system.

Performance contrast:
The CPU and Storage specs of these three tablets are exactly the same. All adopts the Intel Cherry Trail processor, with the specific model of Atom X5 z8300, quad core four-thread design, and use the same 14nm process as the Intel Core M Processor, default frequency 1.44GHz, which can reached up to 1.84GHz. All are equipped with 4GB single channel memory. Because of the 64bit OS, the 4GB RAM can be totally recognized and used.

There is almost no difference of the Graphics performance among the three products. 3D Mark11 graphics test scores are at the level of over 300, nearly half of the Core M program models, while is around 1.5 times of the Bay Trail tablets. In theory, the graphics pressure of Onda oBook10 which has a relatively low screen resolution will be smaller.

Power Comparison:
According to the currently used Intel Cherry Trail tablets, CPU temperature generally can easily exceed 80 degrees, but the surface temperature is basically about 40 degrees. In view of it, the three products basically have the same performance.

As for the Endurance capacity, CUBE iWork10 Flagship has the largest battery capacity, after fully charged, the system is expected to be used continuously for 6 hours and 42 minutes. The oBook10 with a light fuselage only built in 6000mAh battery, after fully charged, the estimated time available for system is about 4.5 hours. PIPO W1S is equipped with a middle position of 6800mAh battery, which can support play 1080P local video sustainably nearly for four hours when completely charged. On the whole, the actual level of battery life depends on the specific application load weight. The battery life basiclly depends on the battery size.
Verdict:
As a tablet notebook, it must be equipped with its own dedicated keyboard when using, so it is not appropriate by just watching the price of the tablet. The price of the three products with keyboard respectively is: Pipo W1S for 1199 yuan, Cube iwork10 Flagship for 1298 yuan, Onda oBook10 for 1198 yuan.
Comprehensive comparison, taking the screen, interface, actual performance and  into consideration, PiPo W1S has the quality highest performance with lower price, and the appearance of the Onda oBook10 is most fashionable. CUBE iwork10 Flagship price is the most expensive, but has its unique performance.
There is not too much difference of the price of these three tablets, and the brand reputation is different, everyone can make your own decision according to your preferences when purchasing by integrating the above factors.

Cube Tablet has released a new 10.1 inch Cube iwork10 Flagship Tablet, which can be conntected with a detachable keyboard, which has catched the trends of transforming into notebook from tablet pc, and adopts the full new Shaft Keyboard design, supports many types of deformation operation mode. Here let's see how will it preform.

Judging from the configuration, iwork10 flagship is more similar as the previous Cube iwork11 Stylus model, with the same Intel Cherry Trail processor, 4GB RAM large memory, USB3.0 high-speed interface, dual stereo speakers, dual cameras, as well as the same dark metal style on the appearance. The main changes, first is the above mentioned magnetic keyboard, which owns a more flexible multi-shaft type, not just fixed as the iwork11 stylus. Second is pre-installed system has been upgraded to 64bit from 32bit, which can better support 4GB large memory. Last is the screen size, it use a smaller 10.1 inch screen than the 10.6 inch, while still with FHD resolution. However, the new model is not equipped with electromagnetic screen, but with more common capacitive touch screen, as a result, the price is much cheaper than the iwork11 stylus.

Tablet and keyboard packages are separated

Magnetic adsorption keyboards of the previous domestic tablets are equipped with plastic material, but from CUBE i7 tablet, it has been equipped with a metal keyboard, which has a better texture and will be more solid. Moreover, it provides complete key bit area. Number keys and F1 ~ F12 keys are independent, which is sure to be more convenient for using. Note: Because the price of the keyboard assembly itself is expensive, it is not in the standard accessories and need to purchased separately.

The shape style of the Cube iwork10 Ultimate has almost the same design of the Cube i7. Dark metal body, more simple and elegant. At the bottom, there is a magnetic adsorption interface and two fixed card, which can be directly embedded in the keyboard.

After connected with the keyboard, it can be opened at 120 degrees around, which can be rigidly supported at any angle, just like a small portable laptop. Moreover, there is also a standard USB interfaces on each side of the keyboard dock for you to connect with USB disk and mouse.

At the front of the Fuselage, there is a video camera, while the pixel is not high, both marked with 200W pixels of the front and back camera. In fact, it can only support to shoot 1280 x 720 HD level file. Windows logo key below the screen will not be use too often.

It has almost the same design of the key area, above the left are the power and volume buttons.

At the right, there are dual speakers, with pretty good sound effect.

Other interfaces are focused on the left side of the machine. From top to bottom, including the headphone jack, HDMI output port, USB2.0 (charging) port, USB3.0 expansion interface and TF card slot. Compared with the previous product, there is no DC charging port.

Tablet weighs 615g, and keyboard weighs 580g,total less than 1200g, with 17mm thickness, judging as a notebook, it is relatively thin and light.

CUBE iwork 10 flagship screen specs is 10.1 inch 1920 * 1200 pixels. IPS panel provides excellent color and wide viewing angle, no matter how deformed for using, it can show a fine display without color cast, which do much better than lots of smaller notebooks.

Cube's latest new Intel tablets are installed with Windows 10 operating system. However, compared with the same processor products, such as the previous Cube iwork8 Ultimate and the Cube iwork11 stylus are equipped with 32Bit OS, and this model uses 64bit OS with 64bit processor.  

As for the system information, 4GB memory can be properly identified for using, unlike Cube iwork11 stylus 32biit systems tablet, which can only recognizes 2.9GB.

Because it is equipped with 64-bit system, you can take advantage of the 4GB memory space, under idle state, the available memory can be up to nearly 3GB, though still with single-channel design, it has a great progress compared to the previous iwork11 stylus. More available memory also helps guarantee the smooth running of multi-window multitasking state.

64GB hard disk accessible space can reach to nearly 58GB, except for the space taken by system, there is also almost 45GB available, which is enough to install some commonly used software, and no problem to install several large games. Moreover,  like other multimedia resources, it can be also moved to the TF card for saving.

The Cherry Trail processor uses Gen8 integrated graphics, which has a great upgrade that the Intel Gen7 graphics with Intel Bay Trail-T processor, EU processing unit changed from 4 into 12, half of Core M processor. 3D Mark11 test scores 336, nearly half of the Core M tablet, while 1.5 times of the Bay Trail tablet.

Photographic needs of Windows Tablet is small. Though this product has dual cameras, the specifications are more common, and can only shoot 1280 * 720 pixels pictures and videos, the clarity and color performance of which are very general. However, it supports face tracking, which can be used for video chat.

As for a tablet, touch-screen games are the most traditional. Microsoft applications store do provide a large number of touch-screen games, many of which are masterpiece and can generally run smoothly.



On the battery life, due to the change of the screen size, Cube iwork10 Flagship has a smaller capacity of 7500mAh battery compared to the previous iwork11 stylus version. After fully charged, the system is expected to continuous use for 6 hours and 42 minutes. This is just the estimated value, the actual use time should be related with the running applications.

Verdict:
Cube iwork10 Flagship tablet pc continues CUBE's mature and classic shape mold, and adopts the newly introduced 64-bit systems, which can play better performance of 4GB memory. The new shaft design metal keyboard base will be easier to use, varied forms are also more diverse. Its interface is still very rich, and the whole performance achieves the desired level. Except for the heat and photo effect, this   less than one thousand yuan tablet is really a good choice.
