      +5

      Both Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4 Kitkat are installed and either can be booted into. It's not Android x86.

      • bchliu on 24/02/2015 - 23:29
        +1

        It is partitioned into Windows and Android separately. Runs Android x86 in the second partition. Boot loader is controlled via key presses apparently during the boot process. It is a very much customised Android x86 with Baytrail support and full driversets enabled just like the current Asus and HP Android tablets range.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 09:09

          I understand that. I thought he was referring to the Android x86 project, which is different.

    • Jackson on 24/02/2015 - 23:23

      Technically it is Android running on an x86 chip. How else would they get Android to work on this architecture? Emulation would probably be inefficient. I am assuming it may be recompiled (but I don't have time to research this).

      • cyssero on 25/02/2015 - 00:20

        Android has x86 builds which some phones use too. There's some app grievances but they are often fixed.

          @Ebany:

          the intel CPUs don't have a flash binary… I've been getting it to work on KitKat, unsure about lollipop… but not on intel CPUs… there are sites which still work better in flash…

  • snvl on 24/02/2015 - 22:56

    warranty? no root available yet.

    • elusive on 24/02/2015 - 23:26

      Assuming you can access the Android filesystem (probably just another partition) from Windows, should be easy to root.

      Edit: if @bchliu is right in his comment above, then you can just mount the Android FS in Windows (probably with ext2fsd) and put a su binary and app on there. Heck, if the bootloader is permissive you might be able to boot directly into a Linux live USB and mount the partition from there.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 09:08

      Geekbuying has a warranty/return policy here

      • Psychd on 25/02/2015 - 10:06

        Yep, read link.
        Note 6 months only for return postage. My phone died just after 6 moths. Wasn't worth the $70 cost to return.

        • iridiumstem on 25/02/2015 - 10:11

          Is it possible to know what method they advised you to use? Just curious, was thinking about pulling my trigger on Teclast once, but I thought return would be a hassle….

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 11:01

          @AznMitch: Don't use a courier like TNT, DHL, Startrack etc to send it back. They get hit with import tax and it's not cheap.

        • iridiumstem on 25/02/2015 - 11:05
          +2

          @Clear: So how can you send it back to China? I know for a fact that Australian Post rejects lithium batteries, so what is the possible option here?
          I am simply asking because that I think it is many people's concern (and mine) when it comes to Chinese tablets. They are cheap but not cheap enough for us to say, it's broken, I will throw it out.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 12:36

          @AznMitch: I'll have to find that one out for you, but I do know that some other stores on Ozbargain have managed to send Xiaomi Power Banks via Air through Auspost, so maybe they don't declare it?

        • iridiumstem on 25/02/2015 - 13:00

          @Clear: What I think they do is they use China Post to get it to Australia and from there, it goes on land (I think). So if I take a tablet to Australian Post, they flat out reject it (on reasonble ground too)

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 13:05

          @AznMitch: I meant Australian businesses sending it around the country through Auspost. If it's already packaged, does Auspost know?

        • iridiumstem on 25/02/2015 - 13:07

          @Clear: They go through special arrangement, special packaging, in accordance to the regulation that this ban is based on. At least from my understanding.

        • whooah1979 on 27/02/2015 - 17:06

          @AznMitch:

          there is no "special" packaging for li-ion devices via auspost.

        • Psychd on 05/03/2015 - 19:40

          @AznMitch: Sorry don't remember. Just Aus Post I think. My phone had a removable battery.
          Unfortunately the next phone had issues as well, so had to pay for that one to go back as well. Couldn't send the battery. Had to sign a dec there wasn't one there.

  • davemurphy on 24/02/2015 - 23:34

    I have similar tablet Pipo W2f. Everything is great except it has terrible WiFi range.

    If this tablet uses the same Realtek WiFi chipset as Pipo (which I think it is), be prepared not able to use it too far from the wireless router otherwise you will get connection dropouts.

    Move close enough to WiFi router like within few meters and connection is good.

    • Gravy on 25/02/2015 - 09:39
      +1

      Perhaps the internal wifi antenna is not soldered properly, this happened to some early Ainol tablets if I remember correctly. How common is the problem with the Pipo?

      • davemurphy on 25/02/2015 - 11:49

        It got 3 signal bars when it dropouts so I don't think it's bad connection issue.

        Move closer to router and all problems fixed, I know this because I run continuous pings on command prompt while walking around the house.

        • choofa on 25/02/2015 - 14:08

          I have the same tablet (Pipo W2f) and the wifi performs just slightly below my Nexus 7 (2013).

          I did have problems initially but found my neighbour was using the same channel, and after switching channels the Pipo was a lot better. The Nexus didn't seem to have the same problem.

          Tethering with my Nexus 5 as a hotspot on the weekend I could go about 20m away outside and the Pipo still kept the connection.

      • cannedhams on 26/02/2015 - 12:33

        Whatever happened to Ainol? We used to have them three times a week on Ozb.

        • Gravy on 26/02/2015 - 18:30

          I think about a hundred other chinese brands suddenly jumped on the bandwagon and I havent really seen much new from Ainol lately, not sure if they are still producing stuff. Can still get some models but they are a bit scarce now it seems so perhaps old stock? http://www.pandawill.com/ainol-novo8-mini-atm7021-dual-core-…

          @Gravy: Ainol are still around and they still release new tablets. There doesn't seem to be anything too fancy about them and not many stores stock them anymore.

    • Agret on 25/02/2015 - 00:54

      • Axelstrife on 25/02/2015 - 01:50

        Ive been watching a few vids on youtube and on both windows and android you hit a button and it reboots too the other OS

    • snore on 25/02/2015 - 01:07

      Not a 100% sure in re of this model but with a similar specced x98/x89 you just hold down volume down button and a limited GUI menu pops up with the respective Android/Windows icons, whilst not completely relative; http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/teclast-x98-…
      will give you an idea of any limitations on the software/back end side of things for the Onda tablet

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 08:41

      There is a button within Windows and Android that allow you to switch between the 2.

      • turkz1 on 25/02/2015 - 10:14

        a button? so do they run simultaneously as a virtualization? or is this a hard reboot (like bootcamp as opposed to parallels/vmware on mac)

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/02/2015 - 12:37

          An app would be more accurate. It would be hard boot and not virtualisation.

        • turkz1 on 25/02/2015 - 13:16

    The coupon - NCNIFDRI will bring the price of the X98 down to $194.99 USD inc shipping, you can use it on that link

    • Agret on 25/02/2015 - 00:58

      194.99 US Dollar equals
      251.02 Australian Dollar

      =( I'm not loving the new exchange rate

      • snore on 25/02/2015 - 00:59

        I completely know what you mean,
        I'm finding it hard justifying the extra $100 for an extra 2" and increased resolution,
        But this will be the first tablet I buy so, I'm not to sure :\

        • Agret on 25/02/2015 - 01:12

          Keep in mind if you are mainly getting it for Windows that increased resolution is not necessarily a good thing. Windows is old design and 90% of applications are not made with support for dpi scaling so either everything is really tiny or it comes up normal size but blurry. Window sets you increase the dpi in display settings for everything on your PC but then some things are giant and other applications don't dynamically resize properly and elements get cut off and make them impossible to use.

  • Rorschach on 25/02/2015 - 01:17

    Hi OP. Could we please get a deal on one of these:

    Teclast X98 Air 3G (9.7" In-Built GPS / 3G / WiFi)
    http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Teclast-X98-Air-3G-Dual-OS-In…

    Teclast X89 (7.9" 2048x1536)
    http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Teclast-X89-Dual-OS-Android-W…

    I've been looking at these tablets - am I correct by saying that for an extra ~15 USD (on geekbuying), if you purchase the "X98 Air 3G" instead of the "X98 Air II" you get in-built GPS and 3G which seems pretty good to me. I can't see any other differences in the hardware from the specifications listed.

    OP could you also confirm whether the Teclast X89 has In-Built GPS? I've had a look on the internet and am getting mixed results from my searches of this model.

    • Agret on 25/02/2015 - 10:46

      Comes to almost $300 (~$292) in AUD =( The exchange rate has ruined so many great deals! The tablet is not such a great deal though because it lacks a proper USB port (have to convert the micro usb with a USB OTG adapter) and it has no GPS/3G/HDMI out and you can't use any USB devices while charging the tablet. You are better off with the Teclast X98 3G if you are going to spend out. As linked here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/184215#comment-2589166

      This deal on the other hand comes to ~$150.70 AUD which is half the price. Can't really say that something that costs double isn't better because that's obviously going to be the case in anything tech. (unless talking Apple products)

      The same. 7~8' is the sweet spot.

      I'd actually prefer something larger.
      Something to watch movies in bed, with!

      Main thing i dislike about the teclast is it only supports 32gb micrsd card while onda is 128gb support.

    Alright, for those who want a deal on the X98 Air II, have a look at snore's comment here

    For the X98 3G I can currently do $207.99 USD.

    The difference between the X98 3G and the X98 Air II is that the X98 has inbuilt 3G and GPS.

      Thanks OP.

      DHL shipping to Australia is USD 5.61 when I add it to the cart - can you make this free for this deal? If so, the USD 207.99 price you quoted then seems pretty good.

      For those who are wondering, there is also a X98 Air 3G 64GB version (not currently stocked by Geekbuying). For example:
      http://www.banggood.com/Teclast-X98-Air-3G-Quad-Core-9_7-Inc…

      USD 251.99 less discount code (15BGSF) = USD 236.87.

      So for an extra ~USD 30 you can get the newer 64GB version. Note however banggood only have free air parcel shipping to Australia (7-25 business days it says). Also I've read some mixed reviews about banggood from people who have dealt with them.

      Does OP know if geekbuying would ever stock the 64GB version?
