In this series of comparative that we are dedicating to the chinese tabletsLast week we left you one between the last one with Windows that Cube presented us and one of the most powerful that it has in its catalog, but today we want to confront it with a less recent but still very popular model, to see what differentiates them and if they are. is it worth or not the extra investment: Cube iWork 3X vs. Cube iWork 10.
Designer
Apart from the most striking difference in colors, what we have to take into account the most when choosing between the two is that despite the fact that both are 2 in 1 and the keyboard plays an important role, in each of them is coupled in a different way, so that the iWork 10 more closely resembles the Mix Plus, with a traditional docking system that makes it practically a laptop, while the iWork 3X more mimics the Surface style, with a rear kickstand, although the keyboard is not Touch Cover type either.
Dimensions
A more important difference in external appearance is that of size (29,96 x 18,06 cm against 26,2 x 16,64 cm), which is quite obvious and which is derived from their respective screens, because their proportions are not too different. The iWork 3X It is not only bigger, but also heavier (740 grams against 615 grams) and thicker (12 mm against 9,3 mm).
Screen
If we take into account, however, that the iWork 10, as its name already indicates, stays at 10 inches while the iWork 3X exceeds 12 inches (10.1 inches against 12.3 inches), the difference in size and weight does not seem so important. This is not the only thing that differentiates your screens, in any case, since the second one has a much higher resolution (2736 x 1824 against 1920 x 1200) and uses the 3: 2 aspect ratio most common on high-end Windows tablets.
Unlimited
The screen is not the only thing that improves if we bet on the iWork 3X, which also comes with a more powerful processor (Intel N3450 against Intel Atom X5 Z830) and with more RAM (6 GB against 4 GB), although it must be said that the figures of the iWork 10 at this point they are also quite respectable for a medium profile tablet.
Storage capacity
We also came out clearly gaining in storage capacity with the iWork 3X, which reaches the 128 GB of RAM memory, while with the iWork 10 we have to settle for half, 64 GB, on which the around 20 GB that Windows 10 can occupy have a more significant impact. With both, yes, we will have a card slot micro-SD, if we need to gain space externally.
Cameras
Cube is not too careful when it comes to trimming technical specifications in cameras, which is a decision that we always support when it comes to reducing costs, but that makes neither of them a very good option if we use our tablet regularly. to take pictures. With the 10-inch model at least we will have a camera on the back, while with the 12-inch we will only have on the front. All are from 2 SM.
Autonomy
With the difference in size and resolution that we have seen between the screens of these two tablets, it is especially difficult to pretend to draw conclusions from the capacity of their respective batteries (8500 mAh against 7500 mAh), but it seems that the advantage of the larger one is perhaps somewhat short for the consumption that we can expect it to have. You can only say something definitively, in any case, with comparable real-use test data.
Cube iWork 3X vs Cube iWork 10: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, the main difference between these two models is not only that one is more recent than the other, and not even that of size, although this is also important, but that the iWork 3X It is a superior tablet, and not only in performance, but also multimedia: whatever the use that we are going to give it, and unless we are interested in a more compact tablet to carry it more comfortably, this is going to be a better option.
The question is how much we have to pay for each of them and how much more it will cost us to get the superior model and the truth is that the price difference is considerable: the iWork 10 can be achieved without much difficulty by under 200 euros, which is a great price for a mid-range Windows tablet, while the iWork 3X It was announced so that the change will be less than 300 euros, but it will surely end more about 350 euros after going through importers.
