That’s a 7-inch tablet. Apples to oranges.

Agreed, George. Android is superior because not only is it stable, but it’s also customizable. And as far as hardware, you’d be hard pressed to find tablets on the market that can beat this Cube’s hardware. If the author thanks it’s so bad, I would have liked to have seen the results of some sort of comparitive study to back up the claim. I think the hardware is every bit as good as the Nexus 7 if not better, plus you’re getting a bigger screen with a deeper pixel density.

You asked… I will never buy and apple corporation tablet, phone or computer again. They are like burberry, something that was once cool, but now is only appealing to those with less discerning sensibilities. Apple is boring and vile, so anything else is preferable.

Well said George but unfortunately it is impossible to rail against the inherent bias on these so called tech website. The best an independent thinking person can do is their own evaluation and come to one’s own conclusion.

“Under the hood however is where the large differences are. For one you’ll be enjoying the latest and greatest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean by Google, but the internal specs aren’t all that great. It uses the same aging Rockhip RK3066 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, manages 1GB of RAM, and comes with 8GB of internal storage. While that all sounds relatively nice, it certainly won’t be up to par with most tablets from Apple, Samsung, or ASUS.
It’s safe to say this tablet won’t be getting purchased by us anytime soon, but most likely they’ll be plastered across eBay in the usual Chinese knock-off tablet fashion we’ve seen for years. ”
Are you serious??
1.6ghz dual.Mali400MP and 1gb of ram isn’t all that great?
Are you f***ing kidding me? -.-
If this costs around 200-250 dollars it would be a bargain istead of taking the ipad 3 which costs 2 times + this tablets price!
I also has “retina” display and android 4.1 jellybean,what else did you wanted it to have so that it could be on par with an Apple tablet for example?I doubt if Apple has any other tablet that good at this price range…

I would most likely not pick this up. My biggest fear would be receiving a bad one and having trouble getting a replacement. I received a Nexus 7 with a cluster of bad pixels and the slightly raised screen issue. Sent it back and got a new one fairly quickly. Not sure I would have the same experience with this other company.

I would get the Nexus 7 unless I really needed that 10 inch screen. Using Apple’s math on how Retina works, the Retina limit for a tablet is 220ppi. The Nexus 7 is 216 ppi. That’s close enough for me although I wish the colors weren’t so washed out.

Well, it isn’t available yet and I actually only own the Nexus 7 and Transformer Prime…

Why not do a review. The hardware is a bit on the soft side but if it works smoothly and the screen is beautiful and it is cheap, then why not buy it. Or are you scared that it is almost as good as your precious iPad but way cheaper.
