PipoX7LM

I'm a massive sucker for these tiny Windows boxes and I saw PiPO have released the X7. The PiPO X7 is an Intel Quadcore Mini PC which runs Windows 8.1 with Bing. The enclosure is apparently all aluminium. PiPO has been around for a while, predominately making tablets.

I asked GearBest for a coupon for the PiPO X7 and they gave me one for my readers so I thought I'd share it as everyone seems interested in small, cheap Windows boxes. Cheapest I can find for the X7 on AliExpress is $109.99.

There is more information here: Mod: Site removed - do not link to site with affiliate links

There's also more info on the Intel chip itself here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.12…

Technical Specs:

  • Chipset: Intel Baytrail quad core processor with Intel HD graphics (Z3736F)
  • RAM: 2 GB DDR3
  • Storage: 32 GB eMMC + micro SD slot up to 32GB
  • Video & Audio Output: HDMI 1.4, 3.5mm Audio
  • Connectivity: 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, Fast Ethernet
  • USB: 4x USB 2.0 port
  • Other Features: Power button
  • OS: Windows 8.1 with Bing

Please note this is a presale but I'm told it should be shipping very soon.

Edit: I spoke to GearBest as I wanted to get the best price for my readers so same coupon gets it for $89.98 now

    Raised paypal dispute, got refund. I was hoping to get the device but might need to try again from another supplier. They over sold it and now can't fulfill orders.

  • batrarobin on 04/02/2015 - 15:27

    I placed the order on the 3rd Jan, do I still have the opportunity to raise paypal dispute ? Normally how long do we have to be able to do so ?

    Anyone know if this Pipo X7 would out perform the new Raspberry 2? (http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/)

    • ausmechkeyboards on 04/02/2015 - 15:34

      PiPO X7 has an x86-64 processor, the Raspberry Pi 2 is an ARM-based processor. Like comparing apples to oranges unless you're after specific tasks, i.e whether or not Kodi would run better.

      • Cralis on 04/02/2015 - 16:07

        Thanks. Good points.
        The new Rpi will run Win 10 though - which opens it up a bit.

        My main goal for my Pipo (If I continue with my purchase) would be to run Kodi. If it runs Kodi 100%, and I can get my media from attached storage - then I'm a happy chappy. It sounds like it will be fine, but @ausmechkeyboards mentioned above - in bold … that "It is much slower than you think.".

        Edit - just noticed I refered to you in the post. Didn't realise. :)

        • CH on 04/02/2015 - 20:09

          Kodi works well with the few files I've played so far, haven't tried multi-channel HD-audio as it's connected to the bedroom telly, but tested both 1080 h264 mythbusters rips via USB, and my uncompressed BR rips over local ethernet.

    i cancelled my order and bought a nuc instead. it cost me around 180 all up as i had a spare 60gb ssd lying around. delivered in 2 days. Just letting ppl know in case you are looking for an alternative

    • gimme on 08/02/2015 - 08:00

      Which, where

      • crowsnest bomber on 08/02/2015 - 12:59

        I got the nuc for 149 delivered from this offer

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/180826

        That deal is expired however nuc's go on sale quite regularly

        I bought some cheap ram, but as mentioned I had a spare hard drive which had os on it.

        If u are buying HD as well it becomes a fair bit more expensive than the pipo, but I was over it after ordering early Jan

  • LoftyAu on 08/02/2015 - 01:09

    Hmmm still waiting for mine. Ordered early, got an email on 22 Jan saying it was being shipped … then nada. No tracking number, no mystery parcel on my door step.

      Yeah they were all too eager to provide a refund. I said no as I've waited for so long and I'm just going to hang in there. I think they'll be more than happy to get rid of the presale buyers.

    My geekbuying order has just been shipped. I ordered the black originally but they later asked if I wanted to change to silver which I agreed to if it was quicker. Didn't get a reply so it will be interesting to see what I get.

  • alvitron on 11/02/2015 - 15:02

    Ordered silver with AU power plug early Jan. GOt eamil 22/01/2015 that my payment has been processed and that it will be shipped out within 3-5 business days. About 7 business days later still order status is in "Processing". Opened a ticket and to ask why and they advised they were still going through QA checks.

    Finally they advised QA failed so they are getting parts from the supplier, which means more delays!

    I've had enough so I cancelled the order and asked for a refund which they have complied with. Right now waiting for refund to come through, which I hope will.

    Don't know if I trust GearBest anymore if they can't get QA done earlier before shipping. I would have thought this would have been done before the pre-sale ends and before them notifying me that it will be shipped within 3-5 business days.

  • gimme on 11/02/2015 - 16:22

    I hope more people CANCEL their black orders to improve my chances of getting one this decade.

    We have received some stock for the silve version,would you mind changing the color for your order?

    Dear OZB members, the demand of Pipo X7 was far beyond our and our vendor's expectation. Although we kept on shipping products out as soon as we got from the factory, for many buyers, we are still haven't shipped their products out yet. The Pipo factory confirmed with us today that there won't be any new batch of products out before Chinese New Year, and due to lack of material, the next big batch of Pipo X7 can not be produced until the end of March. Currently we still have 49 silver version in stock, and our customer service representatives have already started contacting buyers to see if they are interested in switching to silver version. Please contact our customer service directly to switch to silver version or apply for an immediate full refund.

    Please accept our sincere apology, and hope we can continue to offer OZB community value deals in the Chinese New Year of Goat.

  • D33bz on 12/02/2015 - 23:05

    I got the email today too and went with a silver unit (i ordered black originally), as I'm not really fussed what color it is, as long as i get the (expletive) thing!

    I'd ordered on 15 Jan and was charged on 21 Jan and been impatiently waiting ever since.

    I've learnt an important lesson here.
    NEVER BUY PRESALE!!!

    • gimme on 13/02/2015 - 10:42

      Well we did get it a lot cheaper and have first dibs on stock.

    • iridiumstem on 13/02/2015 - 10:45

      I think the major problem lied in the fact that these people clearly sold more than they can handle.
      My girlfriend cancelled her transcation after waiting around 1 month on this.
      I'd probably never use Gearbest for presales stuff from now on, or at the very very least count in the fact that it probably would not arrive anytime soon after the paypal transaction.

  • airzone on 13/02/2015 - 11:02

  • chiefbodge on 13/02/2015 - 12:40

    I have had my silver one shipped on the 31st (ordered on the 2nd of jan) and my mum's black one was shipped on the 11th of Feb (ordered 9th of jan). (Via gearbest) haven't received either yet.

    It is quite a time to wait but it doesn't bother me too much because it was a great price (as long as it works well). The delays are really out of GB's control, always a risk when buying a brand new product that isn't in production yet.

  • kingmalgoo on 13/02/2015 - 16:58

    So apparently they have stock of the Black. or someone who was getting one asked for a refund.
    mind you this is after attempting and failing 3 times over the last week to get them to send one regardless of what colour it was.

    So hey, if they're actually being honest some of y'all might actually be getting your orders at some point. or not.
    first and last time ordering from this lot.

    Thanks for your reply.Sorry for our mistake, the original item has been restocked in advance.
    I’m delighted to inform you that all of the items are readying for shipping.They are packaging now. We will ship it in next two or three days. Please wait for a few days Patiently.

    • gimme on 15/02/2015 - 16:49

      I don't think they are contacting people unless you email them first asking for a status. They probably assume you don't care unless you are on their case about it. You know the squeaky wheel….

      • stenix on 15/02/2015 - 16:59

        I've been in contact with their support since just after the pre sale ended. Every time they just say it's out of stock still and pick a date 10-14 days away when they expect it back in stock, also stating I can have a full refund if I want.

    Ordered mine of the 20th of Jan. Order stuck at "Processing" status for around 20 days.

    Then I read the review regarding terrible overheating issue on the unit (something about the heat-sink not really contacting the CPU which cause throttling ).

    So I quickly asked to cancel& get a refund for my order on the 12th. Got No respond for 3 days and surprise! I got a notification email that my order has been shipped. Damn :(

    • gimme on 15/02/2015 - 23:19

      meh, no 'terrible' overheating issue. If you're that concerned just buy $1 heatsink and some grease from ebay. No big deal. If you really don't want it, I'm sure someone on here would gladly take it off your hands.

      Tip: When you read some rubbish on the internet, don't just stop at a few posts, carry on and read the general consensus or the solution.

      • paradoxez on 16/02/2015 - 13:07

        you're right, thanks for the suggestion. I'm gonna try and see for myself whether there's a CPU throttling issue first.

    Just a warning for anyone like me who likes to bend US pins to fit Australian plugs (dodgey I know but better than using crappy adaptors) - DON'T DO IT. I think the pins must be soldered to the PCB or something (usually the AC pins are connected by wire) because it's now really loose and connection is very intermittent.

  • Vietsoldier on 23/02/2015 - 22:02

    I got my unit, used pliers to twist the power pack prongs from US to AU,works well. I am blown away by the value of this deal, I'm convinced it's not going back to the presale price anytime soon, if it does you can be sure I'll be buying a few more. Windows 8.1 runs beautifully on it and there's included a 1 year license for office 365 after boot. It runs well but when you multitask you can see it struggle with 2gb ram, however boot from powered off state is amazingly fast, like 15 seconds or so. Runs YouTube perfectly and I've even installed NEXTPVR and XBMC/Kodi on it. Other niggle was that there is no way to adjust overscan using the Intel Graphics control panel on this unit. After a lengthy search, I had to dig into my Panasonic Plasma's Service menu to fix this, which is probably a good thing since it would have added processing load to the unit. The Netherlands Post is legitimate but is slow, so be patient. When you get this unit you'll be astounded by the value. Think about it, windows 8.1 and office 365 cost well above the price you've paid. The shocking thing is that it runs the software well. With xbmc it's the perfect htpc, silent and low powered, pair it with nextpvr and you can view and record live tv. One other minor complaint is the red LED at the front is a bit too bright,used in a dark room it can be very distracting.

    Received mine last Friday. Love it.

    Goes well with my dirt cheap Microsoft media keyboard.

    Haven't touched my Surface Pro 3 that I usually use in bed since I got this baby!

    Finally got mine! Time to set it up with Kodi and see how it goes…

  • pongie on 26/02/2015 - 11:18

    Got mine yesterday…
    Installed Chrome, Spalshtop Streamer and Plex Media Server. All good until I disconnected the HDMI cable (no need for it since it's going to be a server), then LAN port goes to sleep after a short while. Can no longer connect to it until I plug the HDMI cable back in. Checked control panel, power settings and even the energy saving option in the network adapter. Nothing to turn this feature off. Anyone have a solution for this?

      Could there be an option in the BIOS?

    Can't decide between this and NUC. While searching online stumbled on this:

    Quite impressive specs. Thoughts? I might get one of these.

    • bonuscheese on 27/02/2015 - 13:29

      Looks nice, especially the USB 3.0, upgradeable RAM, SSD and 300mpbs wireless. I'd only spend the extra $150 if I absolutely would make use of those features though.

  • zaneiken on 26/02/2015 - 21:45

    I still haven't received mine yet. Pre-ordered 2/1/15, dispatched 27/1/15.

    • bonuscheese on 27/02/2015 - 13:13

      Neither have I, and mine dispatched 10/1/15 from GeekBuying. They are saying that this sort of timeframe is expected… so don't hold your breath.

  • D33bz on 27/02/2015 - 11:07

    Finally received mine yesterday and its all up and running great.

    Only niggle so far is sometimes it loses the lan port on startup, but a reboot fixes it.

    Wow this thing boots fast!

    • cristtos on 01/03/2015 - 12:37

      Got confused about the wired lan not working (including no lights), changed cables, ports on switch ETC, gave up.
      Did the configuration using WiFi.
      Later after config and updates I noticed that the LAN port become live again and since had no more troubles since.
      There were a ton of updates (and updates to updates) to apply…

    Got mine this morning, runs great. Installed steam to try out some indie games on it - runs the 2d stuff beautifully. 3D stuff like dungeon defenders not so good (to be expected), friend of mine was interested in my reports to see if he could use one for the kids playing minecraft (early reports suggest this is not the machine for that). For indie games, web browsing and media applications very pleased - great price. Shame it took so bloody long to arrive.

    • bonuscheese on 27/02/2015 - 13:31

      Have you tried Steam In-Home Streaming? Would be interested to see if it was quick enough to handle it.

      • kulprit on 27/02/2015 - 13:38

        Same here, would never actually install any games directly on to it. Would be interested in streaming though (guess i could install the small stuff directly.)

  • leemako on 01/03/2015 - 11:51

    Just gave it a quick go - very good for streaming!

    • salem on 01/03/2015 - 12:02

      streaming videos, or Steam in home streaming for games?

      • leemako on 01/03/2015 - 12:14

        Steam - as per the comments above

        • salem on 01/03/2015 - 12:37

          sweeeet :)

  • kulprit on 02/03/2015 - 12:23

    Mine turned up. Ordered a black unit and received a silver, however wasn't one of the people who received an email asking if I wanted to change. Pretty shitty service. And no way i'd go through trying to return it and get a black one as a replacement from a company that took forever in the first place.

    Hope the actual unit itself is worthwhile.

    • sputnik on 02/03/2015 - 18:39

      Mine arrived today. I ordered a black, they asked if I would take a silver as there were more in stock, I said yes, yet today a black one arrived. I fully agree that the service has been terrible. First and last time I buy from geekbuying, doesn't sound like gearbest were much better.

  • gimme on 04/03/2015 - 15:01

    Got mine today and already there's an issue with it. It works fine when HDMI is plugged in but as soon I remove HDMI (which I don't need) the LAN adaptor starts bouncing up and down non-stop. Almost every second.

    • nige0090 on 04/03/2015 - 19:55

      There have been reports that the bundled PSU output voltage is not stable which causes problems including lan issues. My lan connection has been more stable (touch wood) since I swapped the PSU.

      • gimme on 04/03/2015 - 21:52

        I took a complete stab in the dark and superglued my el-cheapo AUS adaptor to the PSU. It was a little loose before but still worked. Lo and behold the ethernet works now!!(go figure) Very happy. Other than that everything works great and I still have 17Gb space left after cleaning up all the junk.
