Last week we brought you a couple of comparative with which could be the two best alternatives to the Mi Pad 3 for those who would be left wanting a version with Windows, but today we are going to face these two directly, to help choose those who are looking for a 2 in 1 setups with an affordable price, something for which it is almost inevitable to have to resort to chinese tablets: Teclast X3 Plus vs Cube iWork 3X.
Designer
In the design section, almost the difference that attracts the most attention is the commitment to white for the iWork 3X, although it is true that it can also be appreciated that the X3 Plus It comes with more regular, more classic frames and more in the usual 2-in-1 style. Both have, in any case, a metal casing and a Surface-style back support, and like this one, neither will include neither does the keyboard.
Dimensions
In the dimension section, however, and perhaps because of that difference in design that we have mentioned before, it is appreciated that despite the fact that its screen, as we will see below, is larger, the iWork 3X It is a somewhat more compact tablet (30,38 x 18,61 cm against 29,96 x 18,06 cm) and, what can be even more interesting, lighter (909 grams against 740 grams). The X3 Plus, however, it has in its favor is the finest being (8 mm against 1,2 mm).
Screen
As we anticipated, the screen of the iWork 3X is much larger than that of the X3 Plus (11.6 inches against 12.3 inches), but surely its victory in resolution is going to draw even more attention, because the first one stays in Full HD, while she boasts of having the same as the Surface Pro 4 (1920 x 1200 against 2736 x 1824). Both, of course, use the 3: 2 aspect ratio that has become common in the 2 in 1.
Unlimited
Where we do find an absolute tie is in the performance section, since the two arrive with a Intel Apollo Lake N3450 and with 6 GB of RAM memory, and if the processor is somewhat limited (always, of course, depending on what we hope to be able to do) which puts them a step ahead of what is usual in the more modest 2-in-1 configurations with Windows, which usually arrive with 4 GB.
Storage capacity
In the section of storage capacity, however, the tablet of Cube, since that of Teclast arrives with 64 GB and she with 128 GB. It is true, however, that 64 GB It is a good figure for a mid-range tablet and that with both we will have a card slot micro-SD, so it should not be excessively limited, although it must always be borne in mind that Windows 10 already eats a substantial part of that space.
Cameras
In the cameras section, it is the only one in which the technical specifications of the X3 Plus are superior to those of the iWork 3X, mostly because it has a camera on the back of 5 SM, something that his rival lacks. On the other hand, we find that when it comes to the front camera they are tied with 2 SM. The importance of this victory, in any case, will depend on the frequency with which we take photos with our tablet, which being a 2 in 1, it is probably not much.
Autonomy
For now, the only thing we can offer you in terms of autonomy is a comparison between their respective battery capacities, and the advantage is once again for the tablet of Cube (8000 mAh against 8500 mAh). There is an important nuance to be made, however, and that is that the normal thing would be that its consumption was also higher, with a screen with almost an inch more diagonally and with much higher resolution.
Teclast X3 Plus vs Cube iWork 3X: final balance of the comparison and price
As has become clear throughout the comparison, the iWork 3X It is a superior device in everything except what is probably the most important section in a 2-in-1, that of performance, and in which it is probably the least, that of cameras. It is clear, in any case, that if we want a tablet that not only helps us to work but also shines as a multimedia device, it is a much better option, thanks to its screen. An added attraction is that it is significantly lighter.
What we have to assess carefully is whether these extras are worth it so much for us to wait, in the first place, because it is not yet in the large importers even though it has been presented for some time, and secondly, to pay more : the X3 Plus can be found without problems for around 250 EurosWhile iWork 3X was announced so that the change would be less than 300 Euros, but the foreseeable thing is that when we can finally buy it, it will be for rather close to 350 Euros.
