With the upcoming EPL starting this weekend I have been looking for a cheap 4G Tablet.
I come across the Teclast T98 4G on www.banggood.com last week and it was AU $198. As a good Oz Bargainer would do I contacted them to see if they can beat the price form www.gearbest.com.
To my surprise they dropped the price to AU $185.48 and they offered me 10% off Coupon Code to use.
They have added that price and coupon now on their website for everyone to use.

    The latest Macbook 12 that is 10x the cost of this is "only" 1.3Ghz. Clock frequencies means less than what it use to mean before. Going by your logic, people shouldnt be buying Ultrabooks of any sorts with the Core M processors.

      Teclast. Some chinese site late last year. It had been discounted further since then. I ended up paying about $230 for it. It was the Air 3G.

      It's a 4:3 pad as opposed to this pad's 16:10 if that matters. It was a clear rip off of iPad Air's form factor.

      I also got a Chuwi Hi8 Pro which is 8" at 1920x1080p for around $100. That's dual boot also, and is not only cheaper but the screen is a lot sharper, SoC is better (Intel x8300).

      It's a lot more useful if you also have Windows on it.

      This tablet's resolution is fine for my visual novels… if it had Windows on it, which it doesn't.

    Only problem with Dual Boots is it is not 100% compatible (on Android) with everything on the Intel chip as opposed to an ARM chip.

    • 

      lostn on 13/08/2016 - 13:02

      I haven't run into any problems yet.

      That incompatibility issue would come from x86, not dual boot itself. x86 processors can be used in Android-only devices also. The x86 processor comes with instructions that translate ARM code into x86. Compatibility issues should be rare.

      They are very fast and efficient processors that I think will outperform MTK.

      The reason Intels are good is that they're cheap. Intel is struggling with the mobile market, and they sell their SoCs heavily subsidized. That makes their tablets cheaper and very good value. Not because they suck, but because Intel is trying to get a foothold into the market and they're willing to sell these SoCs at a loss or no profit, so the OEM passes on the savings to the consumer.

        All Dual Boots are Intel since MS doesnt really do Windows in ARM anymore (RT is dead and IOT is not really usable). There's still plenty of incompatibility out there from my understanding. As to whether it outperforms the Mediatek, probably not in comparison to the Helio X10 and X20. Maybe the older ones.

        lostn on 13/08/2016 - 16:59

        @bchliu: I didn't benchmark them, but I tested Helio X10 video playback of 1080p 10-bit videos and it dropped frames while the Atoms did not. For that reason alone I give the edge to Intel.

        That said, I didn't test it for 3D graphics or anything like that, because I don't play games on mobile.

        All Dual Boots are Intel

        Yes they are, but dual boot is not the issue itself. The issue is x86 which can exist in both single or dual boot formats.

        Since I find Windows (proper Windows, not Windows Phone) more useful than Android, I'm more than willing to take an x86, since it means I can run any desktop app on it which is very useful and something Android can't do. And for times that I need Android, I'll boot into Android.

        I have no idea how widespread the incompatibility of x86 on Android is, but for all the apps that I use on Android, I haven't found any that don't run on x86. I won't claim they don't exist though. But for my needs, it doesn't affect me. I prefer it because some tasks it does better than ARM, and yeah, I wouldn't want a tablet without Windows on it.

      I've had/have 2 Intel and over half a dozen ARM devices and the Intel ones don't seem to be any different regarding compatibility ie. I've had different apps not be compatible with different devices but like lostn have not noticed anything specific that didn't work only on/because of Intel.

  I bought a Teclast X89 (different tablet, not this one) and it's been absolute garbage. Battery issues, wifi issues, audio issues. Not much good to say about it.

  Buyer beware.

      Yep, stay away from China tabs, I got a Chuwi Hi8 Pro dual boot after reading decent reviews. It was crap…terrible battery life, screen response issues, terrible sound via headphones and speaker, unusable camera. Sent it back and took ages to get refunded from PayPal. Ended up getting a Samsung Tab 3 8.0 4g off eBay for cheaper….much better tablet and can take sim card.

        I've got a Hi12 (dual-boot) and aside from very occasionally not turning on when I push the power button (not sure why) and the WiFi being a bit weaker than I would like it's great. But yes, I agree it can be risky.

      Chiming in here with an Onda V820W.
      Had to send it back to China once and it died again just outside of warranty. I reckon i used it 10 times in the year i had it.
      When it was working, it was buggy as hell. The speaker quality is garbage, battery life is poor and you need to know some basic Chinese to navigate a few things (updates etc).
      Would not buy again.

  I have the Teclast98X Air III dual boot and I love it. It works a well, battery is great (although Windows drains it pretty fast for some reason compared to Android), color quality and the screen is amazing; perhaps a bit too good because even dimmed it's super bright and drains the battery a bit more than comparable tablets with a less intensive screen presence do. For example, My mother has the Samsung Tab 4 which has a decent screen but it is much less clear and more pixelly, but it does dim more than the Teclast and so the battery lasts longer. Wifi is good.It does feel a bit flimsy in the contacts though, the plugs and the Micro SD slot. Also, the Android UI isn't as good as Samsung or LG, its very basic and simple— if you remove the icon the app uninstalls, so its either on the page or it isn't there.

  There is only one major issue I have: It freezes in Android occasionally (maybe once a month) on some games. Fallout Shelter used to do it a lot. There was a 'fastmode' update from the manufacturer (wasn't too hard to navigate) that you run in the background, and that stopped it doing that as much. No issues with Windows, but the audio is a bit quiet. I have had troubles hearing movies on the plane (I have traveled with it 3-4 times) so you need good headphones to counter that. I don't have any compatibility issues really— I have a bunch of games on it, including Goat Simulator (on Android), (which can lag occasionally but plays pretty well) and latest app games have all been compatible so far.

  EDIT: Oh and it of course has some Chinese bloatware you can't really remove, but it's pretty minor.

  I suppose its a bit of a crapshoot with the Chinese tablets, but mine is great. No major problems in 2+ years and it was a great price. I'd definitely get it again, and I'd definitely consider getting this if I didn't have a tab already. There's a site that helps with reviews, which is what I based my purchase on: http://techtablets.com/ — not all Chinese tablets are created equal, even in the same brand, so that place helped me a lot.
