    Great deal, good to see Xiaomi making Lightning Cables. With Xiaomi being a reputable brand in all the other areas, it gives BlitzWolf some good competition given the price for MFI Certified.

    The Xiaomi Topturbo is 1m long,

    Do you have any longer ones that are MFI?

    Can you remove Windows and just use it for Android?

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 17/04/2016 - 20:19

      I haven't seen anyone else online do it yet. It would be easier to buy an Android tablet instead.

    • zeckem on 17/04/2016 - 20:24

      I've seen this forum that does modded versions that clears all the junk that is pre-loaded, and strips a few things to make it more lighter. but not sure about Android only.

    • iammimix on 17/04/2016 - 21:01

      It should be possible. I have 2 Hi8's (not the Pro) for the kids and have loaded an Android only image.
      With the dual OS it's roughly 20gb for windows and 8gb for android.. which is a bit poor if you want it primarily for Android.

      Followed some rough instructions on http://techtablets.com which also provided the android rom.
      Maybe check the forums there for anyone who has done it for the Pro.

    • BargainKen on 17/04/2016 - 21:35

      but how well does android run on x86 hardware? I run it on my PC in VM and it runs like an absolute nugget whereas my old phone running it on ARM processor has no problems..

      • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2016 - 06:12

        It runs perfectly. I have an asus phone with x86 processor and a hi8 non pro tab. I can't tell the difference between x86 and ARM. Some apps may not be fully compatible though.

    Hi @Clear,

    I love the form factor of an 8" dual OS tablet. Are there ones with 4GB RAM instead of 2GB?

    I browsed thru Geekbuying and couldn't find one.

    Btw, I'm still waiting from your reply with a deal on Virtoba VR Box X5.

    Thanks,

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 17/04/2016 - 20:23
      +4

      The tablets with 4GB of RAM start at 9.7".

      Btw, I'm still waiting from your reply with a deal on Virtoba VR Box X5.

      It's on the list. I'll try and do a deal on it during the week.

      • Bargain Fighter on 17/04/2016 - 20:36
        +1

        Thanks! Which 9.7" dual OS tablet with 4GB do you recommend?

        Telcast X98 Pro specs are good but online reviews pointed out that it suffers from heat spreading, hence performance throttling.

        Also, as you said there is known fault of holding pins of Tronsmart micro USB cables. Are there any quality alternatives?

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 17/04/2016 - 20:59
          +1

          Teclast X98 Plus is a good alternative to the X98 Pro. It doesn't have any heat issues and has 3G on the 900/2100Mz bands.

          I'm not sure of any quality micro USB alternatives currently.

        • lolcoaster on 17/04/2016 - 21:44
          +2

          What's the issue with the Tronsmart micro USB cables?

        • Bargain Fighter on 18/04/2016 - 00:37

          @lolcoaster:
          The 2 pins which help cable connect firmly with devices will flatten after a couple of months of usage. The cable itself keeps falling off the phone or becomes loose. Hence, it keeps disconnecting all the time and cannot charge your phone properly.

          This was the same issue as those Tikbro micro USB cable deals (from Bulk Sales) which were quite popular 2 years ago.

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 20/04/2016 - 19:37

          @willxiao0790: I've finally down the VR deal for you. Enjoy.

    • Draeko on 18/04/2016 - 12:20

      how are these tablets (Teclast or Chuwi) for Photoshop Lightroom? and is there a method to connect to a USB 3.0 to eSATA cable for portable external drives??

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 18/04/2016 - 22:48

      I've got some prices on the Virtoba.

      VR Box X5 - $29.99 US

      VR Box X5 & Controller - $36.99 US

      What do you think?

      • Bargain Fighter on 19/04/2016 - 00:14

        Very good price Clear. Thanks!

        What shipping option available?

        What is the coupon code for this discount?

      • Bargain Fighter on 19/04/2016 - 02:33

        Hey @Clear, I've never used a VR box before. Can I use it to simply watch Youtube or Movie on my phone? Does its experience like watching movie on a very big screen in a cinema?

        Just to confirm it's suitable for short-sighted people without the need of wearing glasses as it supports adjustment up to 800 myopia?

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 19/04/2016 - 07:05

          Free shipping is up to 30 business days. TNT Express is reduced to $2-$5 and arrives in 3-5 days.

          The YouTube app has an option to put videos in VR.

          Short sightedness should be fine if you can see things close.

          I'll do a deal on the headset tomorrow.

        • HandsomeMonkey on 19/04/2016 - 12:36

          @Clear:

          How do I get $2-$5 TNT Express shipping? My order is $8USD.

          NVM, Didnt read properly. I guess that's for the VR not the tablet. :)

  • paulaus on 17/04/2016 - 20:25

    Are these tablets any good.

    • Diji1 on 17/04/2016 - 20:45

      They are half left and half right.

      • insular on 17/04/2016 - 20:46

        good for dad jokes.

    • fatty on 18/04/2016 - 08:08

      They are OK, especially for the price.

      The digitiser in my Hi8 has died on half the screen and a crack developed in the display. GearBest (not Geek Buying) are yet to arrange any repair.

      Tempered glass cover is useless as the chassis moves cracking it. Just remove the plastic protection that comes from the factory. Speaker is pretty ordinary.

      A good rubber protective bump case would be nice but they don't exist.

      • paulaus on 18/04/2016 - 08:11

        thanks for reply don't sound too good unless you got a lemon.

        • fatty on 18/04/2016 - 08:13

          Speaker might have been a once off lemon but some have modified themselves so not sure. It's reasonable at high volume just not low volumes. I paid $75us so more favourable.

      you're not missing out on much. Based on the product page this cable costs 39 yuan, which is ~AU$8 / ~US$6. Geekbuying claims their regular price is US$12.57. You do the math and tell me how much you're really "saving".

      • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 17/04/2016 - 23:52

        Regular price is $6.99, so you're saving 2 USD.

        • Save Medicare on 18/04/2016 - 00:20
          +2

          Reg. Price USD 12.57 Save: 44%
          As stated on the website.

          If your regular price is $6.99 then you should not be advertising the regular price as $12.57. Where do you even get that number? It's not the RRP nor is it the price that your competitors are selling it for. It is also not the price that you usually sell the item for.

          This is a deceptive trade practice and would not be tolerated in Australia.

        I think that only happens if you buy it from China when it was made for the Chinese market. I bought a windows tablet while I was there awhile ago on Jindong, it came shipped with Windows 8.1 W/ Bing - China. This version is a special version which is stuck with the Chinese display language, even upgrading to Windows 10 didn't solve the problem nor did any of the normal work arounds.

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 18/04/2016 - 11:46

          Yep. It's likely that the other seller had purchased the local Chinese version of the tablet to save extra $$.
