We’re starting to see some genuinely powerful budget tablets coming out of China. After Rockchip, Allwinner and MediaTek, Chinese tablet makers seem to have found the right combination in the Windows OS and an Intel SoC.
The Teclast X98 Pro is a new device that does the aforementioned and more. If you missed it, let me quickly take you through the specifications.
The X98 Pro comes with a 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 QXGA IPS display, an Intel Cherry Trail T4 Z8500 quad-core processor @2.24GHz, 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. If you care, there’s also a couple of cameras in a 5 mega-pixel rear camera and a 2 mega-pixel front facing camera.
It is quite clear that the X98 Pro is pretty high spec’d. Out of the box, the device is supposed to run Windows 10 which should save you the process of upgrading.
The X98 Pro is on pre-order at Gearbest for US$258. You can check out the listing by following this link. Teclast also offer a Microsoft Surface-esque keyboard case and a stylus pen if you want to get the most out of the device.
We’ve a review sample on our way to us, and a review should follow soon.
Where is modem LTE?:(
Yes Man, nowadays how can people buy a tablet without 4G, LTE, or any other names ???
Very simple) In Ukraine we have very rare 3G network) And it is very expensive for ukrainian people. Our goverment starts 4G in 2018 ))) So …
Oh man you are incredibly unlucky – the 5g project begins in 2018 lol
Becuase we hava a phone with LTE and turn on the wifi hotspot….
There is a 3G model called Air 3G and it is being sold for about $175.
Supposedly coming 2016 Q1 or late 2015 Q4. Hope it is World Dual LTE-A pentaband.
Stop using windows so buyers have to spend much more money…. for gosh’s sake!!!!!!!! Ò___Ó
Microsoft license is free for small OEMs. how do you think there’s crap ton of chinese brands offer Win8 and now Win10
I assumed it was enough cheap. Either way, I don’t like backdoors full of worms and espionage agains users. Crap no thanks.
yes, android and apple are much better there, come on grow up
I prefer gnu/linux, not apple. You grow up XD
a tablet with ubuntu , please, I would like that
and you get upgrades on windows, even more than you want
don’t want them
if it was 12′ or bigger, i would have buy it, because i have been looking for something like this for a long time.
tablet pc with strong cpu and windows, just connect keybord and mouse and you have a laptop that wight less then a 1kg and big battery for 10 hours, all for a small price of 260$, it worth it.
too bad, i will wait for the next thing…….
12″ tablets are pretty scarce tho. i personally know of no one with decent specs at least.
Have a look at the new onda v116 with intel core m, not cheap
it’s 11,6″ and doesn’t have pc or notebook replacing specs with 2GB of Ram, tho the rest is pretty good. but the poster above me asked for 12″ or more. no tablet will ever replace a decent speced notebook or even a desktop and on top of that NEVER EVER for less money than a decent notebook. will you get a decent notebook for 260$? no. so you’ll never get a decent tablet able to replace a notebook for less.

I wonder if it’s worth it to pay $100 more to get the Cube i7 Stylus with the Core-M instead.
Yea – i wondered about that too

“Teclast also offer a Microsoft Surface-esque keyboard case and a stylus pen if you want to get the most out of the device” – where can I find it?!
Most reseller stores such as gearbest, geekbuying, everbuying and some aliexpress sellers should have it, but you’ll probably have to wait a bit.
