Links to sellers
  1. So cube. Scoreis anCertified Cube Retailer.
  2. Shenzhen Ele Technology Limited(Linda). Also a proven store and official retailer. Set up a sale in July, but at a sale of 11.11 the price was higher than that of So Cube.
    * Do not forget about cashback services when buying on Aliexpress. Really return $ 25-30 (7-10%) of the price of this tablet. Otherwise, the money will get himself Aliexpress :)There is also a double cashback chip (you’ll get about $ 20-30 more)already irrelevant.
  3. banggood- according to the ceb380 or b2b6b8 promotional code, it is $ 270 (actual as of January 23, 2017).
  4. GearBest. Also a certified retailer. True, there were several unpleasant incidents (including with other Cube models):time, two, three.
How to get a tablet and what to check immediately after unpacking
  1. In connection with the frequent cases of theft of equipment by Russian Post employees, I recommend at least not to put the name and signature in the notice before inspecting the package for opening, also ask you to weigh the tablet, there should not be a significant discrepancy with the weight indicated when checking the track on the Russian Post website. If everything is correct, then in principle you can put a signature and take the tablet home. Although some write that it is better to open the tablet in the compartment (sometimes there is a special table under the camera), then think for yourself.
  2. Record the unpacking of the tablet on the video, at the beginning of the recording, show the package on the camera from all sides, let the track and the piece of paper with the recipient's address get into focus.
  3. After opening the box, inspect the case for damage and dents (the tablet should not go out of the frame), if you suddenly find a defect, bring this place closer so that you can clearly see it.
  4. In the same video, turn on the tablet, let Windows boot. If you want to open a dispute in the plans due to unlicensed Win10 - in advance, save yourself with a flash drive, write a program on itProdukeyConnect through the adapter from the kit and bring the received key to the camera so that it fits completely.
  5. If you bought with the original stylus - try to draw in a program that supports the degree of pressing the stylus. Win10 has a built-in OneNote, but it requires you to log into your Microsoft account. More programs: Adobe Illustrator, Mypaint, Clip Studio Paint, Fresh Paint, Sketchable.
  6. If you wish, you can check: Wi-Fi connection (stock up on a point in advance, you can give it out from a smartphone), the work of a card reader, ports, camera, sound, power supply (is charging), a display on broken pixels (not the fact that you win the argument due to several broken) programAttached filedead pixel test.exe(272 KB)
    , uptime, and SSD enable counts via crystal disk info
  7. These are basic checks. Do not immediately confirm receipt of the goods. It is advisable to actively use it for a week or two (just don’t miss the deadline for order protection)

Keyboards
  1. The original keyboard. Cost ~ 57 $. Weight 660 grams. It has a touchpad and two USB 2.0 connectors on the sides. It is connected to the tablet via a 10-pin POGO connector (it takes power from the tablet). You can connect it reversely, i.e. use it as a stand:

  2. Here issuchkeyboard case It is necessary to connect the cable to the micro-USB connector. Unfortunately there is no touchpad. On i7 Book it was not checked, but it should fit in size, as in the i7 Stylus themewas buyingNGP user.

Compatible Stylus
These styluses work with i7 Book:

6. There are Chinese stylus clones for Galaxy Note for $ 1. There is only one degree of depression, there is a marriage and scratches the film.

Charging from the standard DC connector:
Universal power supply with voltage selection (not tested)

Type-C Charging:
Apple 29W - works
iVoler 75W USB Type C Charger with Power Delivery -works
iKits Type-C PD 4-port USB Charging Hub 60W + -works
Ugreen Type-C PD 30W -works, but only if you connect before running Windows

CHOETECH 50W Quick Charge 3.0 -Does not work
AUKEY Amp USB Charger Quick Charge 3.0 - NOT working
iVoler 24W Quick Charge 3.0 - DOES NOT work

Conclusion: for charging from Type-C you need a powerful power supply with support for Power Delivery, NOT Quick Charge! Still, the process will go slower than through the factory BP.

Display
The display in the i7 Book is the same as in the i7 Stylus / Mix Plus / Surface Pro 2 (LTL106HL01-001).On request "LTL106HL01-001" Aliexpress you can find a ready-made panel (display + touch + glass) at a price of about $ 37. The only thing in the glass from the Surface will be extra holes for sensors that are not in Stylus.According toReview from Lentz, it is impossible to use this assembly in i7 Stylus: the location of loops is different. There is no information about the separation of the display and its separate permutation.
Another option is to ask the seller.So cubeDoes he have a display and how much.
Glass
Either contact the seller So Cube to find out, or search on Aliexpress for "cube Touch 10.6". You can find a glass with a tachem for Cube i10. I can not say, but most likely the glass is suitable for i7 Book.
Original battery
It comes with a controller board, because a rare product. The only place I have foundSo cubeon aliexpress. Need to write in a personal seller and negotiate. Price $ 40 (learned in August 2016). This is not cheap, so if you work with a soldering iron, it will be cheaper to buy separate cells on Aliexpress for $ 7-10 apiece the same size as the old ones and rewire instead of them to make it consistently (you need to look at the capacity for capacity, but the actual capacity is hardly more than 5000 mAh).

A question for filling: is the stylus cover suitable?



Rep: (206)
* Moonka83,
Must come up. So Cube here signed the case as suitable for i7 Stylus, iwork11, i7 Book



Rep: (30)
* Moonka83, You need to look at the dimensions of the tablet and plus you may have to cut holes for the connectors.
* dim565 in theory, if it is not indicated that Windows is not a license - you can open a dispute of 50 dollars. I think it’s not difficult right now to prove this when unpacking ...

I personally after several experiments - unpacking and checking immediately to the maximum, starting from activation, ending with the state of the battery. It’s better to overdo it than overdo it.
I will get all three bags)
* dim565 I have three orders. In one weaved that they were not available, they say sorry, in the second that I did not fit into the first 500 who bought, in the third that instead of a bag I would receive a gift as a present. A couple of screenshots and he wrote to all three orders that he would send the bags. Sly narrow-eyed Chinese ass, to say the least ...

* Saymon_xxx
And they write to me that there are no bags
What screenshots did you make?
When ordering a counter?



Rep: (9)
* Moonka83, I had enough screenshots from the action, which was sold less than 500 pcs.



Rep: (14)
I also asked a question about the bag, but there was no answer at all. Also, the order is still waiting for the seller to confirm, is this normal?



Rep: (30)
To whom Linda writes that there will be no bags, do the following:
1) a screen with the number of sales on the page of the lot itself, or you can even use my screenshots
2) in English you ask, “how is it so? Promised to the first 500 buyers of the bag, but bought less than 300, why then you refuse to fulfill the conditions of the promotion?”
3) start hoping that Linda will wake up a conscience
4) after a long absence of an answer - you begin to despair
5) no longer hoping to get anything
6) get a response from Linda
7) depending on the answer:
a) despair
b) trying to prove to her again that she is right
c) rejoice in a joyful bag



Rep: (1)
It does not seem that the bag is generally worth our worries.
You can find yourself in the list of buyers on the store page. Buying time is the best proof.



Rep: (14)
Maybe someone is interested. Yesterday I asked a question about the bag, today Linda gave the go-ahead. They should send it to everyone with the bag. But the order of the tablet itself is still in processing from the 12th. Is there nothing wrong? Still, a lot of orders were made.



Rep: (206)
* alx.rocka,
in processing, i.e. shipping expected? Then fine. The main thing is that the payment has passed.



Rep: (3)
Yes, I also now received the answer that they will send. I wrote to them in plain text that I am an active user of 4pd and that they write on the forum that they are washing clients.

Thank you if it weren’t for you.
