PiPO X10 Package:

PIPO X10 mini pc uses the same paper package as its previous models.
PiPO X10 Charger:
PIPO X10 is equipped with a 5V/3A power supply, which has a higher spec than than most of the 5V power charger. According to PIPO's engineers, to consider the power consumption of the high brightness screen and electricity consumption of the USB devices, PiPO X10 has a greater demand for the power supply and current. Because traditional mirco USB Interface only supports up to 2A current, and the quality of most mirco USB cable is not ideal, and has a high impedance, so PIPO X10 uses a 5.5mm DC power port for charging.
PiPO X10 Interfaces:

The same as Pipo X8 and X9, X10 also provides a very rich scalability, including 4 X standard USB port, 1 X DC Power port, 1 X WLAN port, 1 X HDMI port, 1 X TF card slot, and 1 X Earphone port. All the 4 groups of USB port have a fully guaranteed power supply, and can independently support 2.5 inch hard disk drive. In contrast, most Tablet PCs only provide a USB port with insufficient power supply, which is very easy to be disconnected or damage the hard drive because of insufficient power supply when connected with an external hard drive.
After Unpacking, Pipo X10 mini PC TV box is revealed. PiPO X10 Mini PC TV Box adopts the active cooling fan design on the processor, which can effectively prevent the Intel Z8300 processor frequency fall because of overheating.

Cube iWork8 Air Tablet Review

Cube iwork8 Air 8 inch tablet is extraordinarily small among all the 2in1 tablets,  however, small size also means light weight, whether in the hand or mounted in a package, its portable is much better than a large size tablet . Even without considering the portability, small figure will be also much more comfortable when playing in hand than the large-size products.
The iwork8 Air tablet continues CUBE's simple deisgn style on its front of the tablet. Of course, in order to facilitate video chat, a 2.0 megapixel front camera is indispensable.
The back of the tablet uses plastic material, and its surface has been processed with grain. Because smooth plastic surface can easily become a fingerprint collector, once added with a fine texture, it can not only enhance the texture, increase friction and reduce slip hand raised trouble, but also it will not be easily contaminated with grease dirt, which can make a clean visual effect.
In addition, the metal frame of the fuselage is also distinctive, which adopts a recessed outer border, although this design is not very useful in actual use, the overall effect is more beautiful.
On the interface, except for the traditional Micro USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack, there is also a Micro HDMI interface and TF card slot on the Cube iwork8 Air tablet.
Micro HDMI interface can make the audio and high-definition video achieve projection through a single cable. The simplest example is that user can use a HDMI cable wo make the iwork8 Air connected with TV screen to achieve investment result.
As for the Key design, there is no Windows Logo designed on the front of the iwork8 air tablet, while instead of a physical button.
For daily entertainment, small portable tablet is more flexible. We have condulted some actual experience in several scenes which will often used among our daily life, including online video, games, e-book reading, web browsing, etc, which basically covers the actual daily needs of most consumers. Intel Z8300 processor + 2GB RAM memory, although not really high-end, but is enough to meet the demands of these daily simple applications. 32GB of storage space, after divided by Android and Windows, though there is a surplus, once matched with a TF card is definitely a wise move.
Summary:

CUBE iwork8 Air tablet is mainly designed for everyday use. It meets the requirements for portable. Although the iwork 8 Air is only an entry-level product, but in daily use, it can even compare to some foreign brands middle-end products, lower price with higher performance.

Cube iwork12 Dual Boot 2in1 Tablet Review

From he appearance, Simple should be the best synonymous of the Cubw iwork12.
Cube iWork12 front fuselage is quite simple, except for the screen and a camera, there is only Microsoft's Logo on the right side of the fuselage.
On the back of the fuselage, it uses magnesium alloy die-cast frame and pinch-bracket. Moreover, at the top of the back fuselage, there is a white plastic strip, the rear camera is in the center, this design appears more than once in the CUBE products.
CUBE iwork12 interfaces are all located in the left side edge, including a 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro USB interface, a Micro HDMI interface and a standard USB 3.0 interface, as well as the TF card slot.
Cube iwork12 is a little heavy in hand. However, as a 12.2 inch 2in1 tablet, 950g weight is not excessive, 12.9 inches iPadPro plus the keyboard, the total weight is also more than 1Kg.
CUBE iwork12 is a dual os tablet, whether you are more emphasis on the entertainment business or office, you can easy get it just with one device.
In Android system, playing game, watching movie, or web browsing, the overall experience is very smooth. In addition, online video and games, CUBE iwork12 also performed quite well.
Then let's look at Windows system. During the dual system switch, due to objective conditions, temporarily it is unable to seamlessly switch to the intermediate device, it must be rebooted to complete the operating system switch process.
In Windows systems, office productivity has a great assurance. Once matched with a keyboard and touchpad, it can be used as a traditional notebook computer, no matter the Office software or Photoshop image processing, when using there is no difference.In Windows system, it is just a thinner and lighter notebook.
Intel X5 Z8300 processor as an important part of Intel's low-power processor, has been widely used in tablet PCs, TV box, and other equipment. In fact, the overall quality of this processor is not considered weak, and low power consumption make it more dominant on the battery life aspect, especially in some application scenarios which do not need high-performance processor, Z8300 processor is a more sensible choice.
Although the running points is already very cliche, if you want to quantify the performance of a product, score is an indicator of its overall performance. But we have to run sub-rational manner, though run sub has a positive correlation with experience, it can not be equated with the experience.
CUBE iwork12 overall performance is relatively good. Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 processor with 4GB memory, as for Android system, such a configuration can achieve excellent user experience, and for Windows 10 system, it is sufficient to meet the daily office needs. So, whether it is for entertainment or office, the integrated experience is remarkable.

Verdict:

Cube Tablet has once again offer a good 2 in 1 tablet for us. The 2 in 1 with dual OS tablet, on one hand, it has solved the common problem of the conventional tablet when dealing with emergency office; on the other hand, it also made up for the weak computer entertainment experience of Windows 10 Tablet, which can be the best of both worlds.
