Has anyone tried any?

Currently eyeing up a Teclast x2 pro or a
Cube I7 64GB Stylus which look great for the money even after tax on the import. Kinda worried on the support mind you which is likely to be next to none!

Cube i7 stylus is a very good Windows 10 tablet. Well built, good screen, fast. Battery life is only around 5.5 hours at the most after a full charge so that might be something to think about.

Personally, I think if you just want a tablet for a media device, I'd go for one of the Baytrails with 2GB ram as they're cheaper, better battery life and they're fast enough.

I've got a Cube I7 64GB Stylus on order waiting for it to arrive, this review spurred me on to buy it - http://techtablets.com/cube-i7-stylus/

Had the x2 pro a few days now and I am pretty impressed for the 230 I paid for it. Its about 4 times faster than the Linx 10" its replacing.

X2 has pretty nice specs - but depending on your usage I'd find the weight potentially a concern in tablet mode - I had a play with one of the surface books which is 100grams lighter and even that was pushing it - though I might be spoilt coming from owning a Sony Xperia Z tablet.

Ended up picking up a Toshiba Click 10 after playing with the book as its lighter, great battery life and more than adequate performance - 2GB of RAM is a bit of a let down but not crippling, would have been far better with 4GB though.

I have a Cube i7 Stylus and wow its amazingly fast to zip around windows, easily runs any program I throw at it (I dont try Photo shop but visual studio works well).
Issues I've had with mine so far though are.
Shipped with battery disconnected - 2min job solved by plugging back in.
Shipped with pirate windows - contacted seller got £40 knocked off price.
Has an "air bubble" in screen which I can get rid of with a suction cup but it comes back if any pressure is applied to screen - no permanent fix.
When it arrived the 1st batch had an issue with the wifi antenna covering the ssd which caused issues - I added some tape to separate the two and fine.

All in all I paid ~£160 for mine and the screen is ace performance is great. Nothing comes close to it for under £300 I don't think.

Edit : Didnt realise x2 was a core M. Looks good, I wish my i7 had full usb ports. Im always loosing my adapter.
