As the Christmas holiday is over and schools, as well as universities, open their doors for the Spring semester, XIDU is offering some of the best deals since Black Friday. Back to School activity is usually held at the end of the summer but the Chinese manufacturer is holding a mid-season BtS activity for two of its best laptops so that being a student can become a little easier. So, until January 31st, XIDU PhilBook Pro and PhilPad are offered at the lowest price for 2020 while customers can also take advantage of many $30 for other products too.

XIDU PhilBook Pro

One of the best features of the PhilBook Pro is its 2560×1440 IPS display. Such a resolution on an 11.6″ panel means higher ppi and incredible clarity. And if you think that a high resolution like this is ideal just for photos and videos, you should reconsider as higher resolution means crisper details for office work as well as gaming. Besides, the panel is supplied by Sharp and that takes care of high quality.

The design of the PhilBook Pro adopts the 360° flexible hinge featured by a double torque technology and offers an ideal mix of flexibility and quality so users can easily open the lid with only one hand yet have enough torque for a wobble-free touch experience. The hinge transforms the laptop into a tablet in no time or you can use it in tent mode, according to your liking. In addition, it is an ultra-light device thanks to the aluminum-alloy body and small size.

As for the hardware performance, the device comes with an Intel J3355 4-core 2.0GHz CPU backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. That means stable and fluid performance in everyday tasks as well as low power consumption and many hours of use on a single charge.

XIDU PhilPad

In addition to the laptop lineup, XIDU is also offering 2in1 tablets. XIDU PhilPad is one of those models and it’s a business-class Tablet PC designed for those who need a powerful and, most importantly, mobile tool for daily work outside the office or at home.

The PhilPad features a metal body and it can be transformed into a laptop using the detachable keyboard. The device sports a generous 13.3″ multitouch IPS 2K (2560×1440) display and is powered by an Intel E3950 quad-core CPU backed by 6GB of DDR3 RAM and 128GB SSD. The storage space can be further expanded with up to 256GB more via the TF card slot.

In the box, you’ll also get a stylus and the mentioned keyboard, as well as a licensed Windows 10 operating system, a powerful power supply for fast charging and a nice bonus: branded protective film pre-applied on the display.

So, if you’re looking for a best-value laptop or 2in1 tablet, make sure to visit the XIDU Official Store to catch the Back-to-School promotion for up to 30% off discount.

What’s more, there are big discounts on the rest of the platforms that XIDU is present. Visit Amazon US, UK, FR, ES, IT stores as well as Aliexpress to learn more. For coupons on all of the company’s products, look here.

XIDU is actively promoting its laptop and Windows 10 tablets lately and a question has risen whether these models are better than one from a known brand with a similar price. Today, we take a look at the XIDU PhilPad 13.3″ tablet and Asus VivoBook 14″. They belong to different categories since the former is a tablet and the latter is a notebook but their price is similar.

XIDU PhilPad has a better battery performance than the Asus VivoBook and it brings all-day battery life as well as a 2K (2560×1440) touchscreen display with IPS panel and easily upgradeable storage. On the other hand, the VivoBook comes with Bluetooth support but has less RAM than the PhilPad and that’s more important than Bluetooth support for most users.

Design comparison

With 17mm-thickness and 2.75 lbs weight, the PhiPad is slightly thinner and lighter than its opponent but both are quite portable undeniably. Of course, it is always easier and more convenient to carry a tablet than a laptop. Also, the PhilPad’s design in better with its metal case being impressive, but that’s subjective.

The VivoBook has an advantage when it comes to the display angle since it reaches all the way to 180 degrees flat whereas the PhilPad achieves 135 degrees but don’t forget the XIDU’s model is a tablet and you can just take off the detachable keyboard and use it as any other tablet. The keyboard provided is quite ergonomic and soft and using the kickstand of the tablet you can adjust it to your liking. Also, the PhilPad comes equipped with a pen as well!

When it comes to connectivity, VivoBook is the winner here as it has Bluetooth support via the Intel 802.11b/g/n/ac (2×2) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 combo, 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1, 1 x Micro USB 2.0, 1 x Micro HDMI, and headphone out/audio in combo jack. On the other hand, PhilPad lacks Bluetooth and comes with 1 x USB Type-C, 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x Microphone Jack, 1 x MicroSD card slot, 2 Speakers, 2MP front camera and 5MP rear camera that is something that VivoBook doesn’t have.

Display comparison

Usually, budget laptops come with low-resolution displays to cut costs but PhilPad comes with a 2K (2560 x 1440) display, far superior to the FHD display found on VivoBook. The good thing about both is that they use IPS panels that offer wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. Brightness is about the same in both laptops, and you might come up against issues using them in well-lit places. Other than that, both feature above average displays for their price with PhilPad being the winner thanks to the higher resolution.

Performance

When going for a budget laptop or tablet, you should expect some issues with performance when trying to run CPU-intensive tasks. The PhilPad’s Intel 4-core Apollo Lake N3350 CPU clocks up to 2.4GHz and delivers 30% more processing and 45% better graphics performance on Windows compared to its predecessors. Even some heavy games can run smoothly and the cool about this CPU is that it sports 4 cores for better multitasking instead of the dual-core Intel CPU found in VivoBook. What’s more, the PhilPad comes with 6GB of RAM, 50% more than the 4GB found on VivoBook. The difference in performance will likely not be noticed but it’s nice to know it’s there.

So, these are the main differences and similarities between the two contenders. If you are interested in the PhilPad, go ahead and visit their official store and grab some of the coupons provided for extra discount.
