    Can Anyone give a review if these are worth it? in the market for a cheap tablet. Also can flash lollypop to it?

    Could you work a deal for the Air II?
    There seem to be minute differences.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 02/03/2015 - 21:34

      Not at this stage unfortunately, but maybe sometime in the near future.

    • Axelstrife on 02/03/2015 - 21:49

      That code took $12.35aud off the Air II dual OS.
      Doesn't work for the Air II windows 8 only version.

      That comparison video is based on the older, non-dual boot BIOS release. I can confirm that those problems are no longer there. I have just checked on my Teclast X98 3G (current) and it is running Windows @ 60Hz, and the camera is not upside down.
      Some of the comments of that video also confirm that the problems are no longer relevant and suggest to the video uploader that he needs to update the video title.

      • wozz on 03/03/2015 - 13:07

        Yeah i only recently purchased an air ii because of that video, then realised via xda forums that problems already solved. Not that i would use GPS, 3g could come in handy if i ever got rich and another sim though.

        Order not shipped. Will see if any way to change it

      • terrys on 14/03/2015 - 19:52

        If it's the "hendrickson" on on YouTube, then he has revisited it.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmaLKDaJeWg

        All in all, he still uses it more than his Suface lol, and rates it well, but notes that there is a 64 gig unit available, and recommends hanging out for that. In that regard, I'm stuck till I can be assured it'd work on my hoverboard…

        I think he means iPad Air 2.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 02/03/2015 - 20:51

          You're right. I always forget they released an Air 2.

        • Axelstrife on 02/03/2015 - 21:05

          @Clear: Comparing a $700 tablet to this is pretty stupid.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 02/03/2015 - 21:37

          @holden93: Yup. It's like first time Android users getting a <$100 handset from Coles and saying it's crap compared to an iPhone.

        • iridiumstem on 02/03/2015 - 22:42

          @Clear: I'd personally see these to be more than iPad in terms of productivity; It runs full Windows. Grab a bluetooth keyboard and a mouse and you get a netbook like that. Also, don't these come with Office 365?

          Certainly, in terms of content consumption, like watching a movie or web browsing, Windows tablet do need more apps and PC like environment backfires (I still say you need a proper stylus and/or a mouse for browsing stuff on your Windows tablet, if you want to utilise it to its full potential). Android tablets and iPad beat Windows tablet easily in terms of how easy it is to get an app or do typical tablet stuff.

  • BluBoy on 02/03/2015 - 21:07

    What 3G freqs does it work on?

    Also: Any chance of a little bit more of a discount. It is slightly cheaper here, but I'd prefer to buy from someone who is more active on ozbargain.

      +1

      It supports WCDMA 2100MHz.

      As viki8702 stated, that's the Air II that does not feature 3G/GPS and that's why it's cheaper. When I originally proposed this deal it was at $207.99, but I managed to get it reduced.

  • dmaca667 on 02/03/2015 - 21:56

    Got a relative of this (the x98 Air), as a windows 8 only tablet. Been quite impressed with it. Surprisingly responsive, very very good screen. Build quality is good (not quite apple standard).
    Using mine mostly for ebooks and the occasional video as well. It takes a micro SD card and i have a 64GB sitting in there at the moment.
    The only regret i have is that i would have preferred to get this model with Android/Win 8 and 3G.

  • elbargo on 02/03/2015 - 22:10

    Just a headsup Geekbuying are extremely slow with shipping. My last order still hasnt been fulfilled - it has been a month, and theyre ignoring emails

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 02/03/2015 - 22:33

      Free shipping can typically take between 2-4 weeks and holidays can be a major factor. It took nearly 4 weeks after processing for me to receive a package I ordered just before China New Year to reach Tas. Geekbuying was also closed from the 15/02 to 25/02, because of CNY. We'd make them go faster if we could, but unfortunately it's no longer in our control once they get it.

      What is your order number? I can find out what's going for you.

      • cureforanitch on 03/03/2015 - 10:14

        Taking the screen size and 3g capacity out of the equation, what is a better unit in your opinion?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/03/2015 - 15:31

          Teclast x80h, Onda V820 and Chuwi Vi8 have very few differences between their hardware. The Teclast is apparently very good too, with a slightly bigger battery than the Onda. I personally own the Chuwi vi8 and find it to very good, but the mono speakers would probably be the only downside compared to the Teclast.

          It's a hard choice, but the Teclast one seems to be more popular.

      • astarman on 03/03/2015 - 14:23

        Do you have the telecast x80h for that price ? Seems identical but I like the look of the telcast more

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/03/2015 - 08:21

      I just checked and found them to be $20+ more expensive. Are you sure you're not looking at the Air II or a Windows-only version?

  • jcrew on 03/03/2015 - 09:42

      I'd be able to do a $15 off deal on the Voyo Mini PC again and $10 off on the Pipo X7. However the Pipo factory is closed until the 15th so preorders won't be shipped out until after the 25th.

    Hi OP, some questions:
    1. is this one better than the air II because of GPS only or which one?
    2. Is the office 365 already installed? for 1 year only? can I install office 2013 after 1 yr?
    3. Any recommendation or link to buy bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
    4. If I add the bluetooth keyboard and mouse OR bluetooth keyboard with a holder, do you ship separately even though I select DHL shipping?
    how about if i order leather case, micro usb to hdmi cable etc, do you send separately?
    5. How many gb memory available for Windows and Android?
    6. Am I able to reset the Windows and Android back to the original?

    Thanks for your help.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/03/2015 - 18:40
      +2
      1. This is better than the Air II, because it has inbuilt 3G and GPS, besides that everything else is the same.
      2. Office 365 is installed and will be active when you first turn it on and connect to wifi.
      3. Any bluetooth keyboard or mouse would work. Could even use a usb device with the usb otg. There are quite a lot of universal ones on Geekbuying like this for example that should help you out.
      4. I've asked the staff and will get back to you.
        5.Roughly 10GB for Windows and 7GB for Android.
      5. Android can be factory reset. I'll have to find out about the Windows, but I know you can definitely delete user accounts, uninstall software etc.

      I hope this helps.

      EDIT: In regards to 4. Any items that are not included with the Teclast will be shipped separately with DHL.

      • surat on 03/03/2015 - 20:28

        Thanks.
        Just double check.

        The screen protector and leather case shows for Air II, are they fit to this device X98 only and the price seems more expensive for the screen protector but cheaper for leather.

        screen protector teclast x98 USD $1.09
        screenprotector

        leather protection

        Any special price or more discount if i buy all of the add on item cart on the website list?

        Disappointing that the accessories will send separately if send via DHL because it may take a while for the accessories to arrive.

        please let me know. thanks

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/03/2015 - 20:54

          The screen protector and leather case will fit both the Air II and 3G.

          I'm assuming you're talking about the tickboxes underneath where you can select items? I'd tick the leather holster and then go onto the page for the screen protector and add that to the cart.

        • surat on 03/03/2015 - 20:55

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/03/2015 - 15:03

      Unusual. DHL is normally around $6 instead of being free. Is this just in your cart or when you go to checkout?

      • bargainhunt21 on 04/03/2015 - 16:57

        I think it may be free if you buy more than 1 tablet (must be once it hits a certain price threshold it becomes free).

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/03/2015 - 18:59

          You could be right. The final shipping is calculated at Step 3 anyway. The purchase can be cancelled at that stage too.

  • bargainhunt21 on 05/03/2015 - 14:30

    Hi Op. Thanks for following through on this deal from your previous post.

    I purchased for USD 209.60 (USD 203.99 + 5.61 DHL shipping). I paid via PayPal and it came to AUD 268.77 (I used my Mastercard's exchange rate instead of PayPal's which works out to be better).

    Now I need to find a decent bluetooth keyboard (with a stand) for the tablet. These ones seems okay:

      Get on to paypal or your card company NOW and do whatever you can to effect a chargeback. I've just been robbed for a Cube Talk tablet and another order. I propose a permaban for @Clear and geekbuying from ozbargain.

      @bargainbargain2,
      I'm not able to pm you so I figured I should just comment.
      What actually eventuated from this?
      Is the processing just part of the shipping time as a whole, or was there really a 16 day delay? Also has there really been no correspondence whatsoever, did you try their other lines of contact like the livechat/phone? It's still no excuse for such a long delay, but sometimes mistakes can happen I guess.

      TLDR;
      Has the status of your order changed, if so, is the processing time inclusive of the overall shipping time if not are you having to do a claimback via pp, and did they ever end up contacting you?

        He hasn't been on since the 1st and hasn't got back to me. I pass the order numbers onto the GB staff directly, so I can normally find out exactly what is happening.
