Kupa X11 with Windows 8 Preview – Review by Liliputing
Brad at Liliputing.com has done a very detailed review of X11 running Windows 8 Preview with a video.
You can read the review in more detail by click on the picture below and it will take you to Liliputing review.
We want to first compliment Brad on the most comprehensive review of any x86 based tablet computer running Windows 8 preview up to date.
Good jobs, Brad.
Regarding the comments on slow performance in Windows 8 preview, especially when using graphically intensive application, we agree that the user experience should be faster and smoother even though Windows 8 preview is still in beta. We believe that while Intel Oaktrail processor may not be the super speedster like Intel i5/i7, it is still packs enough processing power to run most Apps smoothly. We will continue to optimize X11 for Windows 8 and provide driver support (especially for the graphic card) for Windows 8 on hardware side and look to Microsoft to round up the rough edges exist in the Windows 8 Preview edition.

PCMag.com:
“The Kupa X11 Pro is a strong entry into the Windows tablet space, with a long-lasting battery, a healthy selection of ports, vigorous performance, and an interface that makes your fingers feel right at home.”
PC Magazine X11 Review
We especially want to dedicate this part of review to our engineers who worked tirelessly to optimize X11’s performance. This one is for you and for our loyal customers:
” But even though the hardware inside is the same, the performance is not. In the processor test CineBench, the Kupa X11 Pro scored 0.26 point, leaving the Q550 and the CL900 (both scored 0.19) in the dust.”
