Cube i9 was announced earlier this year as a Surface Pro 4 clone, but at half the price. In fact, the Chinese company, already known for launching the tablet hardware equipment / uncommon software (for example was one of the first to present devices with OS Remix), he had assured the marketing in the Chinese market for 2999 ​​yuan , equivalent to 420 euro, but after a few months since its debut price has fallen further.

Within a robust chassis fan less magnesium alloy weighing just 970 grams , i9 Cube integrates a display IPS 12.2-inch Full HD (1920 x 1200 pixels, 16:10 aspect ratio), and dual-core Intel Core M3- 6Y30 (Skylake) 1.5 GHz processor with Intel HD 515 graphics, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of solid state storage, expandable with a micro SD card up to 128GB. Other features include a 5 megapixel rear camera and a front 2MP, Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0, but what surprises us most is the presence of a port USB 3.1 Type-C still uncommon on Chinese tablets (as well as a HDMI ) and well two 5000 mAh battery is not removable (for a total of 10000 mAh ). Runs on Windows 10.

If a hardware equipment as well fact, we add the presence of a kickstand on the back to be able to also use easily on a desk, a keyboard-cover with a detachable touchpad that (when docked) turns the tablet into a notebook and support for a pen , it is clear that the appellation of “Surface Pro 4 clone” is not so wrong. Cube i9 has technical features and very similar design to the tablet Redmond, but it costs less than half of its entry-level version.

Obviously do not expect the same attention to detail of the Surface Pro 4: The stand is made ​​of metal, for example, but does not have the same quality as the one built into Microsoft tablet and can be swung only in two positions . You can take a look at the live tablet, in our live photos.

Cube i9 is on sale from various Chinese sites at the launch price of 397 Euros only in color Deep Blue with free shipping in Italy choosing “Priority Direct Mail” (10-15 days for delivery). The price does not include the keyboard dock, sold separately at € 49.38 , and the Stylus Pen available in the same shop at 3.99 euro.

ASRock Desk Mini reviewed by mytechpartner team. At Computex, we have taken the opportunity to bring even the “Desk Mini 110” from ASRock for you before the camera. It is a very compact machine in which her ​​most important components have yet to buy according to your own needs and have to install. The motherboard is for easily extract from the casing in the ground state and offers space for a variety of components. It is equipped with a H110 chipset from Intel, which you can populate with a Skylake Intel processor of your choice. The chip, however, should have a maximum of 65 Watt TDP.

Of course, the chipset supports DDR4 format for the main memory. The available slots for enough to put up to 32 gigabytes of RAM in the small case. Furthermore, can be found on the board two SATA3 ports and two M.2 slots that can be equipped with the respective storage media.

When using SSDs limits are hardly set and use of high-end models, it brings the system entirely on data throughputs gigabytes per-second range.

By nature, the system also brings a number of terminals. So the user can choose when connecting a display, for example, between HDMI, Display Port and VGA. Here one must, however, be limited to the integrated graphics units of CPUs, there simply is no space for an additional graphics card is present.

Furthermore, USB ports of versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 are available as well as jacks for audio signals. ASRock provides to the system already has a default cooler, which should be enough for these CPUs. The housing itself is in any case already designed deliberately for the strongest possible ventilation.

If necessary, the entire system can also be ordered with alternative chipsets. In the standard version of the product will cost around 135 euros, the cost of the processor and memory did we mention it.   

Zotac has been one of the first builders to show their model “no reference” the next NVIDIA GeForce 1080 GTX already falling. Made with a custom PCB, graphics incorporates multi – color LED lighting not only at the top but also throughout the backplate to create an atmosphere color around inside the PC case so we can highlight the most in the LAN Parties without resorting to cold cathodes or LED illumination in the box itself.
