[Windows 8 General] albertoalonso_zm:
That depends on the usage and how much you'll be tinkering with your device. I'd say it's good for having as a secondary device, but not as a main one. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" with S-Pen, and the Cube i7 Stylus, and the Galaxy one is much more reliable, it's literally my main workstation, while the cube i7 stylus is kinda biting the dust. I wouldn't suggest you either to send it back to repair, it will be a long and complicated -and sometimes expensive too- process depending on where you live, and sometimes they might not even send it back, depending on which webpage you bought it from. When it comes down to cube products, I prefer to buy them from their main website rather than from Aliexpress or Bangood.

No, shipping and taxes are always done by the customer, the only thing free of charge is the fixing.

You could try getting your hands in a used device for the spare parts, but honestly it'll be quite expensive the whole process. Better is to get a new device.

Yes, however, keep in mind that the Cube i7 Stylus has quite a meh battery life, the same paralax issues than the iWork 11 and overheat problems ((You'll have to make a mod to fix that or else you'll burn your hands. Techtablets did a great job showing how to do a simple mod for that)). The overheat will still be noticeable tho even with the mod, I say that because I have the i7 stylus tablet and it can get impossible to hold sometimes due to the horrid heat.

There is a mod to install android, and there is a mod to make it dualboot with windows, but you have to keep a USB keyboard connected during the boot-up screen, since the menu doesn't use the touchscreen features. You could go ahead and mod your way to launch Window 10's OS launcher, but it can get pretty confusing and problematic. It's up to you though.

iWork 10 would be a good choice but they use a different type of pen technology, so keep that in mind. Also their specs are kinda lower than the cube i7 stylus.

Wacom Bamboo Feel is an active stylus, it has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, however, you shouldn't use it with your cube products. Bamboo Feel was built for Galaxy devices that have AMOLED screens, with virtually no paralax, while Cube uses old Surface Pro 2 screens, which do have paralax (and on top of that, cube screens are non-laminated, more paralax!), so you should go with Cube's "own" wacom pen, it will be much more accurate.

Any pen that you've been using with your iwork11 should work with i7 stylus, but will not work with iwork10. iWork 10's screen doesn't have wacom's active digitizer technology built in so Wacom Bamboo Feel cannot be used on it. You could always try a capacitive stylus though, those work on literally anything.

If you're an artist like me, I'd suggest you to use something else.

Cube could be alright for beginners, but for mid and advance users it'll be more troublesome, better is to buy a cheap android tablet to work quick sketches with, or use an intuos/bamboo tablet, and slowly build your way to a more professionally-built device such as an ipad pro, surface pro, or wacom cintiq.

If you just draw for hobby, then for much better reasons you shouldn't go to cube, their tablets might seem cheap, but the trouble they'll bring you (overheat, lag, bug-galore, horrid customer service, paralax, among other things) are what will make you regret your decisions; instead just stick with android devices such as the new galaxy tab line with s-pen, they are surprisingly good for drawing, and they are pretty cheap.

I'm sorry if the message was kinda long but hey, as an artist and casual user, cube i7 stylus was quite a wild ride.
