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.

Because initially wanted to HP with the HP Elite X3 only on the business market, now it is said that it will offer the device for home users.

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.   

The Nokia Lumia 530 did not get the official windows 10 mobile and even barred from getting the technical preview version of the windows 10 mobile. Fortunately, there is a way to hack it and it comes from the folks at XDA. Previously, the Nokia Lumia 530 users were able to use the vcRed and Extra&Info hack to get windows 10 mobile on their smartphones but once that stopped working, the Nokia Lumia 530 users were left alone in the dark. Nevertheless, xda developers have found this trick to install Windows 10 Mobile on Nokia Lumia 530.

1. Free up some space – The “100-year trick”
* You will need a large Micro SD card – at least 4GB.
* The updates downloaded alone require around 900MB of space. After it’s finished, Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.164 takes 2.46GB on my Lumia 530. We’re going to need more space.
* Hard reset your phone
* When it comes back up, disable time synchronization, and set the date to 100 years in the future (e.g. 01/01/2155).
* Open the Settings App, and try to open all the various tabs. Many of them will tell you there’s a problem, and allow you to uninstall it.
* Uninstall any other apps from the All apps screen.
* You should have around 1.4GB free space now.

2. Developer Unlock your Lumia 530
* Install the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=534599
* If you haven’t already, you’ll need to register as a developer. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows
* Search for Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool 8.1 on your computer, and follow the steps to Developer unlock your Lumia 530 (your screen must be unlocked during this procedure. 
* Go to the app store, and install the Windows Insider and Preview for Developers app.
* Open up Storage Sense, and move Preview for Developers to the SD card.
* Make sure Windows Insider remains on your Phone storage; and the default App location is your Phone.

3. Interop Unlock your Lumia 530
* Grab and deploy CustomWPSystem_0500.xap and WPSystem_Folder_Unlocker_Release_ARM.xap to your phone (using the Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1 program from the SDK -> C:\Program Files (x86)\ Microsoft SDKs\ Windows Phone\ v8.1\ Tools\ AppDeploy\ AppDeploy.exe)
* Copy CustomPFD_0003.xap to the SD Card
* Open up WPSystem_Folder_Unlocker on your phone, and tap “Unlock WPSystem Folder (sdcard)”. It should say “Success!”
* Open up CustomWPSystem on your phone.
* Tap the red bar “SD Card permissions”, then browse to your SD Card and tap Apply (the tick).
* Scroll to the bottom, and tap “Select the XAP”.
* Pick the CustomPFD_0003.xap file you copied to the SD card.
* Tap Apply Xap. Browse to Preview for Developers in the All Apps list. The icon should have changed.

4. Change your Device Identifiers

* Here’s the real reason this works: We’re going to pretend our humble Lumia 530 is actually a Lumia 535.
* Open the Preview for Developers app
* Browse to HKLM/SYSTEM/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo and change the following keys:
PhoneManufacturer: MicrosoftMDG
PhoneManufacturerModelName: RM-1089_1048
PhoneModelName: Lumia 535
PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-IT
5. Force updates to download to the SD Card – the “1GB File trick”

Windows update have always preferred to download updates to the local phone storage as it is faster than the SD card but since there is inadequate space on the Nokia Lumia 530, it will download the update files to the SD card. For that, on your PC, open up a Command Prompt as Administrator. Create a 1GB file (copy and paste following line in Command Prompt):
fsutil file createnew C:\1gb.tmp 1000000000

Copy the file to your Phone storage. Join the Insiders Program if you haven’t already, and select Slow Ring or Release Preview. Check for phone updates. Soon after the updates begin downloading (say 5% to be sure), you must delete the 1GB temp file. While this file forced Windows Update to download to the SD card, we still need all that space we cleared earlier for the updates to actually install. Now allow your phone to reboot when prompted.
