Hi Chris - when it comes to 8" models - is the Mi Pad 2 the best to buy for around 230€ right now, or is there some better alternative? I am open to Windows 10 OR Windows 8 - i dont have a preference here. thx a lot for all your reviews - they make the decision process of buying a device much easier.
Which tablet would you advise for studying and sometimes playing league of legends on the price range of this xiaomi mi pad 2? I was thinking about this one or the teclast x98 plus II . What do you think?
Isn't the 2GB of RAM a limitation for general windows10 use (and gaming)? I was considering Chuwi Hi10 mainly for the 4GB of RAM. Mainly for internet browsing and MS office work.
+Sketos_Gr Not really, it's more when you want to multitask. I proved this when I compared the Surface 3 2GB vs the Surface 3 4GB models th-cam.com/video/U7SqiqSRezM/w-d-xo.html
I ordered a Teclast x98 air III from bang good, it said it would be here in 5-8 days, and its been 19, do you have any reason why this is happening. One part of the tracking says it's in hong kong, and on the other part it says its in Los Angeles.
+Ilikedagames 1922 I would get in touch with your local mail service and Banggood. But the free mail service is very slow. Takes around 2-4 weeks to arrive to me in Spain. And when I'm in New Zealand around 2-3 weeks via Hong Kong.
This tablet needs te be sd expandeble, need a core m and 4/8gb ram. And 3g for the android dualboot versions.Then i would love it more then i actually do allready.
Umm overall what is the best tablet for performance and price? I was looking into the teclast x98 pro and was looking for something atleast getting tf2 at 720p 30fps low. Microsoft office work will be important and chrome but heard there was chrome issues.
+Mr8888X Hi, make sure you use the original cable and charger. Hold the power button for 12 seconds at least, to make sure it's really off. Then leave it to charge overnight. Power it on by holding down 3-4 seconds and letting go of the button. If that fails, try 12 second hold then 3 -4 seconds it should be alive again. Normally what happens is two things, it's so low on battery it will not even boot, or it got stuck shutting down or sleeping. I have this issue with my Chuwi Hi8 Pro at the moment.
+TechTablets.com Hello, im thinking about buying xiaomi mi pad 2 to play csgo and dota 2. Is it posibble that i buy a 16gb xiaomi mi pad 2 16gb then put the dota,csgo/windows in the external hard disk?
Hi tech tablets... I really like your work in reviewing and benchmarking tablets.. I'm confused between two tablets if you can help me considering you have reviewed both xiaomi mipad 2(windows version) and Chewi Hi 12... I want to buy one of them... I really like the mipad 2, it looks more genuine if I could say.. my question is does Hi 12 perform better or mipad 2.. which one has better display.. and is it clear that one has better display so we can tell fast?? thanks in advance
+Juno Lepsi Definitely this one here as it has a Intel Core M: www.banggood.com/Cube-I7-Stylus-intel-Core-M-2_0G-10_6-Inch-Windows-8_1-Tablet-p-981768.html?p=QZ14021624945201505Y see my review: techtablets.com/cube-i7-stylus/review/
Hello, im thinking about buying xiaomi mi pad 2 to play csgo and dota 2. Is it posibble that i buy a 16gb xiaomi mi pad 2 16gb then put the dota,csgo/windows in the external hard disk?
true but windows on something with 16 GB doesn't sound like a good plan to me. the system will take up the entire space pretty much. don't expect it to run well.
+ze OP master peoples on forums noticed some bugs on chuwi hi8 pro (I don't know what exactly) , cube iwork8 ultimate have dual boot os, you can see on this channel, hi8 pro have better resolution, so you must make our own selection.
TechTablets.com I must not have watched the front camera videos. Usually your videos are all about tablets. My bad. I thought you were YOUNGER, haha. Oops!
Gamingdragon not many older or lower end games need 64bit and it wouldn't make sense to run 64bit windows on these until the ram gets more I have a asus t100taf and it rus fine as it is but ill us the alienware laptop or my desktop fr anything heavy
+TechTablets.com yes, i am using the old z3735f tablet yuandao w8c, and it das have a very bad Temperatur Controll. when the Temperatur is high, the clock MHz is down. I need to use Throotlestop to maintain the clock rate. and the old generation tablet usually use Realtek rtl8723bs wifi chipset, which has a very very bad performance.
+well Honey and I think, the tablet which don't have a full usb-a type plug is hard to use. Most of the tablet have just a micro usb plug, if i don't have a set of Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, i must use otg cable to connect.and if i need to charge and use USB devices at the same time, i need to buy a cable which can charge and otg at the same time. my tablet is 8-inch and has 4000mah battery, without charge it can only use max 2.5 hour.
lol firstly you should give the Mi some breathing , you put it on the surface on back so he cannot put out the heat from the back where is the processor you can not wonder there is thermal throttling and FPS drops , maybe on a stand or even a cooling pad it would have better FPS because 83C is too much lol how can you dont know these things and do a gaming review lol
Yes yes, but you do understand I'm testing worse case scenario, charging at the same time, back on a tablet. It should be able to handle it. It's a great tablet despite this, all the Z8500's get a little too hot. See my review: techtablets.com/xiaomi-mi-pad-2/review-android/
nope, you know, even best flagship phones like S7 thermal throttle and loose cpu power? only the apple A chip even by extreme load didnt throttled but thats cause os/hw optimization , so yes it can handle it if you will make good conditions for it, its the basic of basics , even notebooks will throttle in heavy load without cooling pad and they SHOULD handle it , but they didnt so case closed.
+rocket raccoon no it isnt, the mipad uses a tegra k1 cpu, wich is arm, so, it is impossible tu run windows on the mipad1 on android, yes, maybe the mipad 1 is better, but as a whole i would rather 10000 times the mipad 2 than the mipad 1, because the mipad 2 can run windows as it has a x86 cpu on it, and you can run real windows programs, while on the mipad 2 you can only run android apps
+Rafi Ridhan yes, i done. I made one project in php and works fine, the Netbeans is a good program, i think that dont need much power from the tablet.👍 and i have bought a teclast x80 tablet, it have 2gb ram, i think that it will be so useful to me in my project, when it comes(I don't know when, maybe next month), i'll make some videos of performance. you could vistit my channel in future, i'll post videos testing games. sorry for the bad english😆 i'm from brazil✌
nice info, i want buy one too, but i dont know performance of that it would be nice if you make performance test from all aspect i will stay tune haha me too bad english
That thablet is better than my friends PCs
+denis denis hahahhahahahaha
50 fps on csgo? My old computer have 30 fps :D
:D
Do you think that in the next generation we could see a Core M processor and at least 4GB of ram in a tablet this size? That would be perfect to me.
Nope
Yes

+Ulim Tjiatawi Logitech travel keyboard (Bluetooth) and a Logitech M235 BT mouse.

You have to improve your CS Skills xD

Shroobit Obviously not
K

4:3
dude sweet thumbnail great vid
Battery life ?
Are you waiting Teclast x16 power? :)
+Tadas Kiršinas No, I skipped this one as it's price like a Cube i7 Stylus which is way faster I don't see the point of it.
what about dota 2 at 1280x800 ?
any thermal throttling?
+Komruz Zaman Yes core 1 did at 86 degrees, this was after 2 hours of gaming.
Thanks for getting back :)

MrZones21 whats the name ofit??
how about VAINGLORY?
It will run it.
you should try heroes of the storm or world of warcraft
I wonder why the gpu usage was never higher than 60-70% on csgo and 40-60% on lol, thermal throttling maybe.
this tablet does not throttle
ok but this not help me to understand why lol
But can it play fallout 4 tho
+suske423 Not really, too slow. 10 fps.

can it run GTA 5 at lowest???
Hi Chris! Can you try Hearthstone on native resolution with low and high setting and get their corresponding fps? Thank you
So that's how Chris looks like.
is win 32 bit due to 2gb ram
+Gamingdragon there woud be no point putting 64bit windows on these they dont have upgradeable ram
+Carbon cricket FX actually it is 64 bit windowsit is required in many new games which actually are playable on this tablet

+Gedam Pakam Sorry screen is very reflective, tablets are very hard to film.

For a tablet with Intel processor it's pretty laggy at gaming

how about using mi pad 2 for programming, like android studio or visual studio?
in my last tablet PC with 1gb, the Nebeans work so fine👍

+Rafi Ridhan yes, i done.
I made one project in php and works fine, the Netbeans is a good program, i think that dont need much power from the tablet.👍
and i have bought a teclast x80 tablet, it have 2gb ram, i think that it will be so useful to me in my project, when it comes(I don't know when, maybe next month), i'll make some videos of performance. you could vistit my channel in future, i'll post videos testing games.
