No shuts off without warning
I found other big issuesThis unit fails to have SD card after switching to android.I also found that after windows update, it would not connet to phone via usb.I really liked this PC but it did not work unfortunately.I found a very big problem now. The place where I am now has only 5ghz network. This computer would not connect it. It really sucks. I still keep it 5 stars but this is a big failure nowadays.It does not shut off like Nuvision at all. It has been on for over 10 days. Nuvision would shut off several times a day without warning.This is awesome. It is not fast but at least it is very stable.I confirmed wireless casting works but it is very slow.HDMI is working great.It is thicker than Nuvision. I like design and material of Nuvision better but this computer is very great.Android is very useful, too.

Excellent Tablet For The Price (Except For One Major Problem)
The Cube iWork8 Air Pro Tablet falls just between I would recommend and I would not recommend. For me, I will use it just fine with the pros and cons I mention below. However, for other people it may not work for their needs.I will not highlight speeds and benchmarks in this review, because I do not know anything about that. But I will base the review on personal experience and how well the Tablet performed for my needs. My needs were to use this Tablet as a Photography Companion, Gamepad, and Word Processor.Taking the price of the Tablet into consideration, I feel it deserves a 4 out of 5. It would be a 5 out of 5, but there is one major Con that I will mention below.I will break this down into Pros, Cons, and Gripes.PROSThese are some of the Pros of the Tablet that I would like to highlight.PHOTOGRAPHY- I wanted to use this Tablet as a Photography Companion. By this I mean I wanted to have a Raw Batch Editor, Timelapse Editor, Monitor, and Video Editor. I was able to accomplish all of these with ease. I was able to use Adobe Lightroom app to batch edit my raw files from my camera. I was able to use Lapse It Pro app to compile my timelapse photos from my camera and export a video. Using the Tablet as a Monitor for my camera works great and will become one of my main uses for this Tablet. I have tried some video editors like Filmora Go app and it worked just fine.BLOATWARE- Most devices in this day and age are filled with preinstalled apps that are unable to be uninstalled. For this Tablet, there were only about three bloatware apps that were preinstalled on the device. Two were able to be uninstalled and one was able to be disabled. I have included a screenshot of the apps installed.EXTERNAL DEVICES- This Tablet comes with an OTG cable that works great with a keyboard, USB, and various other devices. I have also used a Bluetooth gamepad controller with the Tablet and I had no problems with it. Using a keyboard, either using OTG or Bluetooth, works great when using a Word Processor, there is no lag during typing.SPEED- For the price, this Tablet is very fast and snappy in Android. I have not experienced lag within the apps I have used. It is also very fast when using External Devices.FEEL/SCREEN PROTECTOR- The Tablet feels nice. It is a completely plastic, but it feels sturdy enough to last awhile. The back is a hard textured plastic, which gives a nice grip. I am the type of person that puts screen protectors on all my devices. So it was very nice that this Tablet had a screen protector preinstalled on the device.ConsThese are some of the Cons of the Tablet that I would like to highlight.BATTERY- The standby time on this Tablet is pretty bad. I would recommend turning the Tablet completely off, if you are going to leave it sitting for a while. I found that from a full 100% charge, the Tablet will be at about 7% in about 7 hours and 30 minutes on standby. Charging the Tablet from about 7% to 100% charge it takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes. The battery life during use, varies depending on what you are using it for. It gets decent battery life if using it for general use to surf the web and watch YouTube, I got almost 5 hours of battery life. However, most of that battery life was drained due to it being in standby while not using it.SD CARD- The Tablet reads my SD Card and I am able to access the contents on the card and there is an option to use the SD Card as the default write disk. However, this is does not work. In the app options, there is no option to transfer it to the SD Card. So you are limited to the amount of apps you install. I was unable to test this Tablet with a big game like GTA: San Andreas, because there was not enough space to install it. I did speak with ALLDOCUBE and even though there is an option to use the SD Card as the default write disk. They said that in order to put the apps onto the SD Card, you must download the apk or root the device. For me, I will only download apps through Google Play Store. Having to download the apk’s for every app or rooting the device is not going to happen. So this is the major problem with the Tablet that brought the rating down.MEMORY- This claims to have 32GB, however on the Android side, there is only 3.8GB free space. Which is next to nothing, especially since you cannot transfer apps to the SD Card. There is so little space, because there is Android and Windows on this Tablet. So the 32GB is being split between them. I have included a screenshot showing the total available memory.CRASH- This Tablet seems to crash a lot. Especially after you install a new app and open it for the first time. It will sometimes freeze and then says “Launcher3 Isn’t Responding”. Then you have to hold down the power button and reboot the Tablet. However, after that, when you open the app again, it will work just fine. It just seems to crash the first time you open an app after installing it. On smaller sized apps, it will sometimes freeze for a minute, then work normal. But the larger apps, you have to reboot it when it freezes.GRIPESThese are the Gripes I had with the Tablet. They are not necessarily anything wrong with the Tablet, just things I disliked.PLAY STORE UNCERTIFIED- When I first used the Tablet, the Google Play Store would not allow me to download certain apps like Google Chrome and Microsoft Word, because it said the device was Uncertified. However, I did find a fix for this. I factory reset the Tablet, trying to fix the SD Card problem. But after it factory reset, in the Play Store, it no longer says Uncertified. Now, I can download all apps like Google Chrome. So if you do buy this Tablet, I would recommend factory resetting it right away.CHARGING LIGHT- When charging the Tablet, there is a red light. Once the Tablet is fully charged, the light remains red. I would prefer for the light to turn green, to let you know the device is fully charged, without having to turn the screen on.DUAL BOOT- I was particularly excited to use a Dual Boot Tablet. I have never used one before and thought it was very interesting. However, with this Tablet, the Dual Boot takes a long time to switch between Android and Windows, especially switching back from Windows to Android. The Windows side works, but is just a bit slow and does not have much memory to do things with. ALLDOCUBE does make more expensive and much more powerful dual boot devices. I think those would be a much better option than this Tablet if you want the Dual Boot. I just think that since it is such a low cost Tablet, it just does not run as well as it should. But doing simple things on Windows works fine like using Microsoft Word.GAMEPAD- This is in the Gripes, because I am able to play simple games on the Tablet. But big games that use an external gamepad, I was unable to use, because of the memory space.So like I mentioned before,the Cube iWork8 Air Pro Tablet falls just between I would recommend and I would not recommend. I hope that this review will help you decide whether this Tablet is worth buying for your needs or not. For me, I will use it as a Photography Companion, Word Processor, and for general gaming, web browsing, music, YouTube, and various others. But not for large games that require a Gamepad.The speed you get with this Tablet at such a low price warrants this a 5 out of 5. But the SD Card not working and only having 3.8GB of space is a huge disappointment. If anything significant, for the better or worse, changes with this Tablet over time, I will be sure to update this review.
