Many of you who are aware of the models that arrive from China, will know the Cube i9, a device with a design similar to the Surface Pro 3, powered by a processor intel m3. Basically the specifications of this equipment are at the height of the basic configurations in the high range of Windows 10, however, we also have a somewhat cheaper alternative, the Cube iwork12.
La Cube iwork12 It is identical on the outside to the i9, although it differs in its colors. Without going any further, the variant of the video that presents us Tech Tablets It is entirely white, when we knew a beautiful line black and dark blue. Either way, all the other details, ports, speakers, etc. They are traced, the only big difference is the processor Intel X5 Z8300 with which the device is developed. In terms of performance, we are going to notice a drop, but the iwork12 costs around 250 euros, when the original model will not normally drop below 450 euros.
Cube iwork12: unboxing and first impressions
The video that leaves us Tech Tablets shows many aspects that a potential buyer of the Cube iwork12 may be interested in. For example, this device maintains the tab-bracket back of the i9 and works with the same keyboard, one of the most interesting of any of the Chinese companies that is worth paying attention to. In this sense, the device is really similar to a Surface Pro 3, although the number of positions of the support is limited to 2.
We must also know that the Cube iwork12 is a heavy terminal: it reaches almost a kilo. Like many other devices that are born in China (we are just testing a Chuwi HiBook), this convertible has dual boot It can be handled in Windows 10 and Android 5.1 interchangeably. We see again that the version of the Google OS installed on the computer, despite being Lollipop, reveals a holo design, more like Kitkat or Jelly Bean.

Technical characteristics of the device
The processor is the same that we are going to see in the Xiaomi MiPad 2 or the Chuwi Hi12, an Intel Atom that works responsively, although it shows more limitations in Windows 10 that in Android, as it does not stop being logical. On the other hand, we have a 12,2-inch screen with X, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory, battery 9.000 mAh, mini HDMI ports, USB 3.0, micro USB.
