If these new Chinese Windows tablets have peaked your interested but 12-inch+ is just too much, then how about a 9.7-incher from Teclast?
We’ve said it a few times already, but 2016 is really lining up to be the year of the Chinese tablet. So far we have seen interesting devices from both Cube and Chuwi, but at 12-inches they could be a little on the large side for some users.
To fill the niche made by these large tablets (and the smaller Xiaomi Mi Pad 2), tablet maker Teclast has developed the 9.7-inch Telecast Plus with Retina 2048 x 1536 IPS display.
Gizchina News of the week
Teclast have opted for the 64bit Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 CPU in the tablet running at 1.84Ghz with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory on tap (plus room for up to 128GB SD cards). Windows 10 is the OS by default, but an Android 5.1 build will soon be released letting the tablet run as a dual boot system.
Keeping the Teclast X98 running all day is an 8000mAh battery, plus the 7.8mm thin tablet gets an 5 mega-pixel auto focus camera.
$198.99 buys the dual-boot Teclast X98 Plus which is already available for presale on Gearbest.
Is there a Windows tablet shaped hole in your life? If so which screen size would you opt for?
Had one of these and a Teclast X98 and both had to be returned due to dodgy batteries. Both failed to read the actual battery capacity and gave false power readings and both failed to work unless plugged into the mains. The Pro (when booted into Android mode) couldn’t even detect my SD card.
Terrible. Avoid at all costs.
I’m completely the other way, I have an x80h and a colleague has an x98 and they’re both fantastic for the money, I was always happy with the build quality and these new tabs look better again, I just wish they’d make them available in black as well as the iPad style white…
This article is some 3 months late. The only new part is that now it is dual boot (Win10 + Android) while before it was just Win10. And it is Teclast, not Telecast.
Well said, you can tell they don’t focus on tablets and its always old news when they do eventually mention something.
I have been for a long time.
Yes +1 for TechTablets and I find Mike Cane’s xBlog quite good from time to time too
Zi Jin Cheng’s YouTube channel is also decent. He also has a website, MobileTechAsia, but I mainly just go straight to his videos.
