[Teclast X98 Air 3G] abanglek:
I just done pry open my x98 to fix misaligned volume contact when i'm writing this. Even with this issue, i'm still consider lucky because i still get ok hardware. In still get 6-8 hours on windows (with 48hz bios), even 10 hours in lowest brightness & not really doing much things (downloading etc) (only 3-5 hours when on dual boot). I'm get rid of android because the android is not a keeper. I don't have issues about sleeping mode, i don't even care about my bluetooth on or off, because normally i forgot to turn off of it, & for me nothings different in term of battery life. I don't have freezing issues etc. I believe maybe there's a lot people get okay or better tablet then mine & don't even come here (this forum) to report.

Even with okay tablet i got, just be honest, for most people, just avoid this tablet (also other no name chinese tablet). Maybe dual boot is temptation, but it's not. It's redundant or you'll abandoned other os. Some report using android 90% of time & logically why wasting spaced used by windows (which is not a small portion) if only using android.

Talking about android. Android in this tablet is not a keeper, sound tiny, lower brightness, lower touch sensitivity. Even i'm done improving every mentioned aspects, i still find not worth. Most of it because it's not optimized, the lag is annoyed me crazily (i found android in other device not as this annoyed laggy, like in sony product, they just fly), battery life is not better than windows.

Windows just fine to do whatever android can, most apps on android can be done in windows, either on web, alternatives app or whatever. I'm using hyper for tube (paid) on windows, which have better management or simply chrome that can improve youtube with some plugins. Only maybe lose some games if you really into gaming. Still this tablet can be not for gaming device, x86 (intel) system not home for android, you will experience some apps not optimized or not even can run on this system, even ms office or updated google maps fail to load on my android. Only issue, windows on desktop mode really need keyboard & touchpad (or mouse).

Hardware on this tablet not any better, the gap between lcd & front glass is so annoyed, maybe for people that not much experience with other device can be satisfied, but once you experience with ipad air2 or surface pro3, you'll find this tablet screen is crap. Yes, the body is aluminum, but the aluminum is freaking soft, that you can bend it anytime. Manufacturing process is bad i guess & i'm wondering, how much time they use for developing this hardware.

For who that want to adopt this tablet, just keep in mind, all the issues is real, so don't be denial. Even i have this tablet & sometime people around me impress & asking about this tablet, i just said, find better product. I'm trying crazily to make this tablet usable, i'm not a developer, but atleast i know about android system, as well as windows, at least i know about using dos or terminal on linux etc, at least i can understand about hardware & don't mind to pry open the hardware. For most people, simply just stay away from this half bake product.

Alternatives: if you can understand what i'm saying, you know idea of dual boot is crap.

If you really into gaming, simply get more real android tablet, like xiaomi mipad, experiences with multiple android device, seriously android don't need this size (9.7") to be satisfied. In my experience, 7.9" 4:3 or 7" 16:10 more real, fulfilling & usable for android.

If you really need windows, esp in desktop mode, windows really need conventional laptop form (with keyboard & pointer). Maybe windows10 have some improvement. Windows don't need crazy resolution, cleartype really helping, even for now, some app have issue for scaling. I don't know what is the alternative, maybe need better supported manufacturers, dell, acer or better if you have a lot of money. Around me i can see lenovo miix3 380, which is smaller & cheaper, or miix2 for 16:10 form. But i feel regret for not simply getting acer switch10 that about less than $100 more, complete with conventional keyboard. Even with lower spec (z3735f, 1280x800, size not wise, battery not any better, big acer brand's killing me), in hand it's more usable & fulfilling for windows system.
