Looks like GeekBuying are running a flash sale on the new Teclast X80 Power Windows/Android tablet for US$99 for a day.

Specs are great for the price, particularly given the quadcore Z8300, 1920 x 1200 IPS display and metal case.

I've got the Teclast X80HD for a while now which has been excellent in terms of build quality and reliability.

      Yeah, 32GB is a little tight but I find mine's ok once I added an SD card. There should be a way of wiping the Android partition though.

      Not sure why the deal deserved a neg though.

      • tonyjzx on 07/06/2016 - 14:44

        It would be really awesome if they allowed you to back up each distribution onto USB stick so you can use all the 32gb for either o/s at will.

        But I suspect that is too much to expect from them.

        • Darkscythe on 07/06/2016 - 14:47

          Yeah, that would be fantastic but can't see it happening.

        • kipps on 07/06/2016 - 19:38

          @Darkscythe: You can remove Android from these tabs and have Windows only. I've done it to a Chuwi Hi8. I can't imagine removing Windows for Android would be much harder either.

  • wintoand on 07/06/2016 - 14:44

    Bit of a review of this Device:over at Freaktab

    • Darkscythe on 07/06/2016 - 14:48

      Looks like they've just added a metal case for this model.

  • tonyjzx on 07/06/2016 - 14:47

    3-4hrs 3,800mah and i doubt it has gps

    • TZK on 07/06/2016 - 14:51

      That was my biggest hope that it would have GPS, but no mention in the specs.

    • Darkscythe on 07/06/2016 - 14:51

      I couldn't see GPS mentioned on the listing. Don't think it's particularly common on budget tablets.

      • tonyjzx on 07/06/2016 - 14:53

        Protip: Windows tabs generally do not have gps. Dont know why. Sad thing is Microsoft is awesome at gps given they are affliated with Nokia Here maps.

        Also given the small battery and very low brightness screen it would probably not be all that useful as a gps anyway.

        • Darkscythe on 07/06/2016 - 14:54

          Perhaps it's just a driver/support thing. I've found Windows and GPS a bit hit and miss.

    Battery is just horrible. Those 8" Chinese(actually Teclast is a Taiwanese company, but it is irrelevant) tablets used to have a 5000mAh battery, but now it is down to 3800mAh ~ 4000mAh, which means the lacksture battery life has even worsened.

    • Merlict on 07/06/2016 - 15:55

      Yeah, but that probably made it 2mm thinner! Good enough for Apple, good enough for the Chinese guys.

    • macrocephalic on 07/06/2016 - 17:12

      My phone has a larger battery!

      I was going to buy something like this recently, and started a thread about it here, the general consensus was to get something from the Dell factory outlet instead. For $200 you can get an inspiron 11 with 2gb/32gb, for about $350 you can get one with a pentium processor, 128gb ssd, and 4gb ram. For $420 you can get one with all that plus convertible to tablet. For about $450 you can get one with an i3u processor.

      • [Deactivated] on 07/06/2016 - 17:37

        Yeah, but the inspiron 11 is A LOT heavier than your usual android tablet. People who are interested in these Chinese tablets are looking a tablet that is light, can be easily held by your hand, does everyday tasks such as web browsing and lasts a day.

  • Balls on 07/06/2016 - 15:03

    the build man..oh the build of these things..

  • paradoxez on 07/06/2016 - 15:37

    Do note this these tablet gets blazing HOT ! and I mean ~80c+ CPU temp (back casing ~41c) hot for light gaming (portal, Trails in the sky, Ys, dangan ronpa) at 27c ambient temperature. Even youtube eventually reached ~65c after 15 minutes+.

    Now I normally don't care if my laptop's cpu reached ~ 70-80c+, but I personally feel uncomfortable for tablet with 80c+ CPU sitting 3-4cm adjacent to the battery

    Here's the teardown of teclast X80H (almost identical to x80H pro):

    http://imgur.com/WYGcqES

    See how close the CPU is to the battery). To be fair though, I've never heard anyone complaining of thermal runaway yet so I'm probably just too over paranoid here. But I still feel uneasy nonetheless

    Source: i own teclast x80HD, and many reviews suggests cherry trails CPU runs even hotter (and comsumes more battery even on idle)

    TL;Dr:
    1. CPU gets HOT, Youtube @65c+ Hot, light gaming ~75-80c+ Hot
    2. Hot CPU ~3cm proximity to battery
    3. But no reports of tablets on fire yet
    4. Don't mind? = you may go for it

    • Balls on 07/06/2016 - 16:07

      thats weird, the cherry trail is smaller lithography than baytrail so in theory it should run cooler, although it largely depends on what youre doing, running pc games on it no surprise, if keen to DIY stick some heatsink inside

      • paradoxez on 07/06/2016 - 16:21

        The issue isn't CPU-heavy task (i ran prime95 abd the temp capped at around 65c for bay trails. I'm sure it's the same if not lower for cherry trails). CPU-heavy task capped at around 1.5watt power consumption whereas GPU-intensive task can consume as much as 4watt for bay trails, and even more for cherry trail as it's more powerful but not much more efficient. So yeah, the slim shielding plate just doesn't cut it to dissipate that much power) Probably managable with mod though

        • Balls on 07/06/2016 - 16:25

          the gpu is probably why, for z8300 it largely performed the same as baytrail gpu wise, the z8500 is where the next step happened and improves on with more EU

      • scrimshaw on 07/06/2016 - 16:57

        It uses more power.

  • KOBH on 07/06/2016 - 16:32

    Can this tablet runs *.exe files?

    • paradoxez on 07/06/2016 - 16:34
      +1

      Yes. It's a full Windows 10 OS, just like your laptop or desktop

    • Nukkels on 07/06/2016 - 17:20

      Sure as long as you don't expect it to run well. 2GB ram has to run the OS as well at the apps. My phone has more ram than this.

    • belongsinforums on 07/06/2016 - 18:44

      touch screen on windows is still in early stages tho

  • belongsinforums on 07/06/2016 - 18:47

    looks good for movies in bed (with headphones). would be good for work on the go if the battery was closer to 10 hours

  • harpie on 07/06/2016 - 21:40

    This one or the hi8 pro for around the same price?

    • Darkscythe on 07/06/2016 - 22:05

      I'd probably lean towards the Teclast only because of the metal case which will (hopefully) act as a heatsink vs the CHUWI's plastic enclosure but I'm not sure how much each will heat up during use. I'm trying to get my hands on one to test for you guys.

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 08/06/2016 - 00:14

        Teclast usually have better screens. Like being glass.

        • fatty on 08/06/2016 - 08:40

          And Chuwi plastic frame causes Tempered glass screen protectors to crack.

          One thing with the Chuwi, remove the factory screen film. Took me 6 months to realise it was there, feels much less like plastic screen when removed.

        • fatty on 08/06/2016 - 14:31

          :( missed out!

  • gtr33m on 07/06/2016 - 23:37

    I have the Chuwi hi8, which is the baytrail with similar specs otherwise, and at the price, I am happy with it. Battery life is as you would expect, not great, but it otherwise has fewer issues than I would have expected.

    I've just ordered this Teclast and for what I use it for, expect similar performance overall, but with the metal casing and a glass screen.

    Given that the hi 8 pro is still a plastic case and screen, I would say the Teclast is a better deal overall.

  • harpie on 07/06/2016 - 23:50

    Thanks and ordered.
    Cheers

  • fatty on 08/06/2016 - 14:23

    Drats, offer expired. US$115 now. @Clear, any chance of extending the offer?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 08/06/2016 - 16:10

      I'll ask.

    Thanks, just ordered one + screen protector. Now just need to find a rubber bump case!

  • nicholsonr on 19/07/2016 - 21:28

    I'd just like to say, Thank you OP for providing such an amazing deal, it's still going at 99 USD.
    Just bought one for myself :) Now to wait till it arrives.

  • jackofspade on 23/07/2016 - 14:56

    I wouldn't recommend this tablet. The wifi is extremely poor. Almost unusable.
