Hoped they would evolve it into the 12" 3:2 screen size, with this one.

This just seems like a revision of the old model.

I really expected them to use the chassis of their Cube i9 model, since it gotten some good reviews with only con being, "wish it was stylus enabled".

The dream continues though.

 

That would require Wacom actually produce an EMR digitizer of that size, which they seem extremely reluctant to do (see SP3 development controversy).

Unless you mean they should sacrifice EMR and go AES...but seeing as this is one of the few remaining EMR tablets (an an affordable one at that), I'm really happy that they're not.

 

I wonder if this is still using the same display as the SP2. It's really tempting, but 64gb is a bit small.

 

same display , that's how they are getting Wacom EMR

I hope they make a 8gb/128gb model ,some of their competitors are doing that

 

Or they could go Hanvon or UC Logic in EMR, and go up to 13.3 screen size, that would make 16:9 a bit more acceptable.

 

I really wish they would enter the market too and give EMR users more choice (or "a choice" rather ) among the current crop of 12.5" Skylake tablets.

Both companies already produce portable pen-displays, so I wonder if the barrier is logistical or legal (hopefully not) in nature.

 

Yeah, legal issue sadly sounds like the most logical one. Unless they perhaps eat a lot of power, compared to wacom? At this point, it would be great to see either of the two companies trying to make some digitizer EMR boards for possible 12-15" screens of tablet/laptops. But since Hanvon is a main member of USI, and UC Logic being a sub member, it may have something to do with that?

I'm just disappointed, I thought for sure that Cube would make their next stylus tablet, from an i9 version, or something like it, not simply reuse their last i7, with newer cpu gen.

I can't remember if it was Teclast or some other, which was using hanvon in their stylus tablets, but I hope there's a secret sauce in the brewing, want that sweet cheap stylus 3:2 12"+ tablet.

 

it's worth to buy this tablet for $359.99? Geekbuying have $40 off for this Cube i7 Book 4GB 64GB Tablet. Coupon code: HTBYPABN

 

you should wait for few weeks more if you can , its official price should be around 330$ after it launched

if you can't wait 360$ is not that much more than 330$
