I plan on purchasing a brand new 7501. I know a new model came out 7510. I already read the differences between the two and currently leaning towards the 7501, because it is cheaper. I don't see the point of paying 500 dollars more just for added memory and a new OS.
As of now, I can only find Amazon.com selling brand new 7501 for 850 dollars.
Now for my questions:
I know it's a year old, isn't too much to pay 850 for it? If any of you guys know a cheaper store, don't hesitate. Let me know.
I know it comes with WM5 OS, does it have a WM6 official OS?
I read up that radio 1.57.00 is the best, which ROM version is the best?
What is the highest capacity micro SD card does it support?
I have not tried ebay yet, to be honest, I am hesitant to buy expensive stuff off ebay.
Any input is appreciated.

hi there! i see your uni has reached its shelf life... same as mine, I think Im ready to retire it. Im also thinking of getting the athena (dopodu1000) and you're right, the 7510 isnt worth the extra price.
Looking forward to the other athena owners to give inputs to you... as it will help me as well. I suppose the only uni replacement is the Athena hmm?
Good luck
I've had my Athena for ages now and I love the size of the screen and it's power, it's a great device - especially with AP4 ROM, but coming from the Uni you will be disappointed with the keyboard - the one on the uni is great.
Someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391485 is advertising one already pimped up if you're interested - caveat emptor and all that.
The 7501 is a great unit for what I got it for which is to use it for mobile internet access, the large screen is clear and easy to read. The keyboard is ....well to cut it short crap, I tend to get the Caps Lock mode for no reason and it is annoying when you find you have typed a couple of lines without noticing!
I use an external keyboard these days, but leave the inbuilt one attached to offer some additional protection while the device is in the case, I purchased a Piel Frama case in green for my unit as I didn't like the case it was supplied with. Sme users have found this aftermarket case a poor fit, mine seems very well made and I am happy with it.
Overall the device is decent, although heavy internet usage using the 3G connection speed which is fast in use hammers the battery, after a couple of hours use you will be looking for somewhere to plug in a charger.
I used the Uni for quite a while and the Athena seemed to be the next logical step, but it is a large device and you should really try and find one in a shop before purchase to see if you like the size and weight of the unit. It will fit in a pocket, but you need large pockets, the only other accessory I purchased was the 4 in 1 cable for the unit to add the capability of USB connectivity and composite video output - Mike

not to mention the loss of buttons... :C ... actually, I was really holding back for 4 months now. I wanted to know more about its successor before deciding myself, but I can't convince myself to shell out 500 dollars more just for the extra 8 GB and a slightly improved keyboard layout. Now if they improved the processor speed to 700, then maybe they might hook me up for the 7510.

The size of the screen and power as you mentioned are the best things I like about it too.
Is the AP4 an offial OS? Is it WM5 or WM6?

The size does not bother me, coming from an O2 Exec with extended battery, the weight of the Athena might be lighter in comparison.
I plan to use an external BT keyboard and BT mouse, which brand are you using?
I will probably purchase the highest micro SD available too, do you know if it supports SDHC micro SD cards?
I plan to buy a BT headset too. I read the LG HBM-500 with OLED Display and Vibra works well with it.
I might invest on the HTC 4 in one dongle for presentation purposes too.

I just read the differences between 7500, 7501, 7510 : http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=474
Does this mean the 7501 has no second camera even though it has WM6? Thus no video conferencing capability?
===
AP is the Athena Project, AP 4.0 is the latest cooked ROM based on the 7510 ROM and is WM6.1 - not official but you'll be waiting a long tome for WM6.1 to be released on the 7500!
The 7501 has no camera as it was intended for the US market where there is no video calling so the front camera was dropped to save costs or so I believe.
The Athena is about the same weight as an O2 Exec with extended battery (subjectively - I just held one in each hand and they feel the same) but the Athena is quite a bit bigger - hence the gorgeous 5" screen
got mine 7501 after almost a year looking, searching, waiting for the new one. the loss of hardware acess to functions was the main point to stay with the 7501 instead of the new one. the additional memory and improved keyboard (how much?, it will keep being an emergency keyboard!). it's big but very handy due to have everything big on screen, easy to track a message, to hit the right place on the screen, just very handy. I'm using on the original leather cover without the magnetic keyboard to save some volume. for small text input the large letters the softkeyboard pull out on the big screen is reasonable enough. for serious work a cheap and thin USB keyboard connected by the 4x1 cable is perfect. there are no other machine like this to fit in between a cell and a laptop. try one and you will find out. i had several others before, last one the Kaiser but the advantage is really a heavy contender for anyone interested in having a powerhorse at pocket.
I know i'll get flamed on this but
I've done extensive research and reading on x750x series and im sold, im sold to the point i bought one and it comes in tomorrow, its x7501 already unlocked. i've scoured this website, i've read up on all that i can, i know all the procedures all i now need to know is what order do i do them in, the radio 1.57 first then the unlocker? is that right, and do i need to use the athenawrapper at all?
is it two steps or three or four, radio unlocker wrapper
or radio wrapper then unlocker or
just radio and unlocker
or radio, unlocker, wrapper, updater?
just need to know what order, thanks again
i know i'll get flamed on read/search. and i have and im sorry, i just need a reply as to the order.
thank you
and thank you to all those who put the time and effort in for this product, i heard something about android and if all goes well id love to donate to that.
ps as you can see this is my second post
I've been borrowing an iPad two and I really can't see the lure especially for the price. Could some of you guys say wether it's a good idea to pick up a nook ?
You can get them relatively cheaply on eBay and I love the idea of having cyanogen mod on a tablet.
I'm not so fussed about cameras and all that the iPad camera is horse **** anyway.
Interested to know what you guys think?

Well, here's my 2 cents worth. I got my husband an iPad, the original one. We both already had Android phones. My kids got me my Nook Color for Christmas, at my request. I feel the iPad is so limited in how you interact with it. It has no proper file system, so if you want to put files onto it, they have to be associated with a certain app. My husband was hoping to use it to take pdfs and excel files with him to look at and edit at work. It's a huge hassle. Apps generally cost more, in my experience, on the iPad. There are possibly more accessories for the iPad, but they tend to cost more, too.
As for the Nook Color, I am very happy with it. I have a 16GB microSD card in it that I can boot into either CM7 or CM9 (Ice cream sandwich). Or, if I choose, I can boot into the original Nook OS. I ran a script to stop updates, and am at 1.3. So, I can boot into the Nook OS, read books, get freebies from B & N on Fridays, and read for an hour a day, in the store, any Nook book. Honestly, I spend most of my time booted into Android. I find my Nook runs much faster on Android. I sometimes have trouble tethering my Nook to my phone on the Nook OS, but generally it works better on Android. (I have rooted my HTC Evo 3D phone.) I can do just about anything on my Nook on Android that I can do on my Android phone, except make calls. The Nook TABLET actually has a mic on it, but there aren't as many hacks for it as there are for the Nook Color, yet. I think that someday we might be able to either use a USB mic or get a BT mic working on the Nook Color, but it's not certain. I personally like the apps better that are available on the Android market vs the apps in the Apple app store. And, my primary desktop is an iMac. I also dual boot both my aging laptop and my netbook to Windows and Linux.
Of course, you can totally replace the Nook OS by flashing Android to the onboard memory called emmc. If you have the proper microSD card, though, some people say the difference in speed is negligible. The onboard memory is actually 8GB of SanDisk flash memory.
If you decide to boot from a microSD card, read at least some of the thread linked below on choosing a microSD card. In general, the class 10 and even some class 6 cards do not work well when running the OS from them. I got a 16 GB SanDisk from Costco that says it's a SanDisk Mobile Ultra. It's benchmarks for both writing small files and large files are pretty good. And it was only $20.
I suggest you get a warranty for your Nook Color, wherever you get it. There is an ongoing problem with the charger cable going bad. And, though it is a micro USB cable, it is proprietary in the sense that it will only charge in the fast mode if you have one from B & N. If you have troubles, most people seem to be able to get one from either a B & N store or over the phone with their support, but only if under warranty. I got the 2 year warranty from B & N, which is $40. If you have to go buy a new cable, it comes with the AC charger and costs $24.95! Possibly your best bet is to buy one of the refurbed Nook Colors from B & N's ebay store. The current price is $149, with free shipping. It doesn't state, but I think they come with the standard 1 year warranty. I would check on that, though. And also ask it you can get the extended warranty for it. Though we have a warranty from Square Trade for our iPad, I wouldn't do it for the Nook. I think it's better to go through B & N because of the charging cable problem.
If you want to root your Nook Color and load Android into the memory, there are many threads telling you how to do that in the Developers sub-forum. Otherwise, here's some threads you might want to read:
Thread on choosing a microSD card
Thread on making a dual boot microSD card
How to keep your Nook from updating
Barnes and Noble has info at their "book clubs"
If you get a used one, and hope to use the Nook's own OS at all, be sure the seller deregisters the Nook, or you will have a hard time using it as a Nook.
When I bought mine for $250, it was the cheapest tablet at that pricepoint. Now that more powerful tablets are available for $250, I can't make that argument anymore. However, if you can get one for $150 or less, it's still a hell of a value.
If you're not interested in B&N content, there's no reason to bother with the B&N firmware. With a used device, warranty isn't in the picture. You might as well pick one up cheap, flash over whatever version of firmware you prefer (I recommend CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage) and start having fun with it.
I'm holding on to my NC until more options open up at the $250 mark, at which time, I'll probably dump it. If the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus were $250 instead of $350, I'd jump today. In the meantime, the NC is doing just fine.
Wow thanks for all your replies! Very helpfull. I think they've got to be worth a shot for the price im seeing them.
When you say there is a problem with The charger is it with the adaptor itself or the NC's units micro female port?

I agree with the your assessment. There are rumors of an Ausus 7" tablet coming out next quarter at $250.

Neither. It's the "blinking" cable. From what I've heard, the micro USB end goes bad. There's an indicator light in that end of the cable. There has been speculation that it overheats the connector that then breaks or otherwise fails. I've only had mine since Christmas and have been fine so far. <crosses fingers; says a prayer> The bad thing is, the connector, while looking like a normal micro USB plug, is actually longer than others. If you don't have this longer one, it will only charge slowly...
my 2 cents
If you can get one for $150 I'd say go for it. Otherwise I'd hold off for a bit. There are supposed to be a whole slew of ICS tablets coming out soon.
My only gripes about my NC is that the single core processor struggles a bit even when overclocked, and the horrific Bluetooth range. Beyond that and for the price it certainly was an unbeatable deal when I got mine over a year ago.
As to the charging cable either I'm lucky or it's my incredible OCD when it comes to treating electronics gingerly, but I've not had an issue at all with it. I'm not sure a $40 warranty on a sub $200 dollar device that is pretty well outdated makes sense. If you are concerned about a potential cable failure you can do what many others have done and get a warranty replacement preemptively.
Posted to wrong thread.

i bought a refurb for my son for xmas - he's 5
however my wife, who has had her NC since last xmas wanted to see if she liked CM7 enough to commit (now she dual boots off sd card) so we bought his over the summer, figuring it would give her 6 months to "play with it" while I got it prepped for him.
as I was wrapping it up, I had it plugged in to charge (so it would work when he unwrapped it), cable got hooked around the chair and the whole thing pulled off the desk.
everything looked ok, but it always took a few tries to get it charging, then last week, it stopped charging.
swapped cables with hers, no go
So this weekend bought one from CL for $100, still wrapped in the plastic.
So I was pretty good with that.
HOWEVER if anyone knows of a step by step on getting these APART (I know some sites do "tear downs) I would love to try and fix this one.
I believe that the USB plug needs to be reseated/resoldered.
I just dont want to 'rip it up' if there is a more appropriate way of getting it open.
j
---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------
so I guess what I was saying is, if you can live w/o the warranty CL is a great way to go
HOWEVER I do plan on digging around to see if his can get fixed via warranty (the other reason I dont want to rip it apart)
thanks

I will second (third?) the suggestions to try to find one for under $150. Heck, I think I've seen refurbs for $120-130 a couple times too. I got mine almost a year ago when they were first $200. It was totally worth it then, but there is now a lot more competition at that price point. Idk if it's because of the Touchpad fire sale or what (that also makes a great Android tablet, btw).
I don't miss the cameras either. Sometimes it would be nice to have GPS, but not a big deal. That said, CM makes these things GREAT. I mainly use mine for reading still, but it's capable for light web browsing, and is super portable for a tablet.
The Nook Color has been as cheap as $70 after cashback at overstock.com. I didn't get in at that price but I did pick up 9 for family @ $120 right after black friday.
I got mine when it first came out for $250 and haven't regretted it. That being said, last month I picked up a 10.1" lenovo K1 when it was on sale for $250 after instant discount and $30 off $150 coupon. I use my 10.1" a lot more than my nook now but still consider the nook an excellent value (it's a great device for anyone willing to take the time to get android on it).
$250 will be the new price point for android tablets. It will get harder and harder to sell them at $500 when there's so many cheap ones out there. The K1 is at $280 again but it's in store only and it'll be harder to apply the coupon.
Not sure if you're following, but it's actually $130 right now through B&N's ebay store:

Well... here is my in depth post on the pros and cons of getting a Nook Color...
Well... where to start...
CONS:
The Nook is HEAVY - 500gramm sure weight a lot and comparing it to other 7" tablets it's the one that makes your hand fall off if you try to read for more than an hour...
It's lacking cameras and mics... and even bluetooth mics dont work properly with it at this point... so... thats a big con for me...
Even if taking pictures sucks on tablets... its just too damn comphy to get on Skype and have a Videotalk on there...
Sadly no Video on Nook, hell - not even normal phonecalls on it...
Work-In-Progress Android 4 being the last con in it... because its as the name said work in progress... you will encounter a whole bunch of things that dont work just right yet... if you dont mind stepping down to 2.3.7 Android though and thus missing out on Tablet-Optimizations Android 4 brings in then this might not apply to you however.
PROS:
The most awesome battery life you will ever see on a Android 7" Tablet... I was able to squeeze 10 hours of REAL use out of this tablet with the right settings... (turned down screen brightness, wifi off, etc.)
Sadly other devices range from the worst (2 hours) to the okay range (8 hours) - but ive never seen one top the nook in that part...
This is most likely thanks to efficiently picked hardware, software optimizations and the 4000mah battery it runs on (while other tablets range from 3000 to 3700mah).
Fast Charging will be the next PRO... most tablets use a normal USB Port to charge, thus being limited to 5V for charging... (Ramos W6HD for example)
The nook comes with a special cord and charger that allows for 13V charging... speeding the charging process up by more than two times.
A lot of merchandise available will be the final PRO to it - similiar to iPad & Co its easy to find a whole bunch of Nook gadgets to work with, be it that extra cool book case you're looking for or some nice anti-gloss foils for the screen, you will easily find those for the nook.
Not as easy on other tablets...
CONCLUSION:
Depending on what you want to do with the Tablet... whether you want the full Android 4 Tablet experience or not... and so on... you might be looking for something else...
Also... the price is another thing...
Previously the nook was the "cheap mans' tablet" - as tablets were expensive as hell...
However... you might be better off getting a Ainol Novo 7 Elf or Ainol Novo 7 Aurora...
By now, they are easily on par with the Nook... both price/value wise as well as feature wise... and last but not least they come with cams, mics and a proper Android 4 OS...
The only thing you would lose when going for the Novo Elf or Novo Aurora is 2 hours of battery runtime... giving you 8 hours instead of 10...
Last but not least, stay away from the Ramos W6HD... what looks like a good deal on the paper is broken by the awful battery runtime (4 hours).
I say... give all of those options a thought... try to get some info about the devices I just mentioned to you... and then just grab whatever you think best fits your daily needs.
If you get a used one, and hope to use the Nook's own OS at all, be sure the seller deregisters the Nook, or you will have a hard time using it as a Nook.
[ /QUOTE]
I feel like this is all i have been good for lately, but you could always do a hard reboot in that situation. 8x restart with 'n', power and volume depressed. That gets you into the Nook OS, registering and navigating to the in-froyo Erase & Deregister option in the settings gets you a virgin Nook OS.
I have been messing with my system files a lot lately, so maybe a clean wipe isn't as big of a deal to me as to some other folks, but were the hard reboot better known, I think we would see fewer "Bricked! Help!" threads.

More excellent advice I might look at saving and spending a bit more to get something decent, I'm a little late for the nook-mobile me reckon. Tablet world has moved fast.
It's not that simple

I bought another NC (used from Craigslist) a month ago and went through this exercise and what you suggest will indeed get the NC back to "factory fresh" state but if the previous owner didn't hit that "deregister" link while they were logged on to that NC prior to selling it to you, you will NOT be able to register it to your B&N account as it will show in the B&N system that the NC with that serial number is registered to the previous owner.
I spent at least an hour on three separate B&N chat sessions and at least 15 minutes on the phone with the B&N Support person to get that answer. The Support associate told me that since the original owner doesn't have the NC anymore they would have to call the 800 number and ask them to deregister that NC off of their B&N account before I could register it to my B&N account.
In my case the previous owner was kind enough to call that 800 number to do just that. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to register it with B&N on my account but it would still be fully functional with a custom ROM on it.
Well... for me its a easy decission really...
B&N doesn't operate in europe, I'm in europe, so it never was an option to begin with...
I got my Nook Color because at the time it was the cheapest way to get a properly working relyable tablet and so far I'm okay with it.
I get my books off drm-free bookstores in the internet, use FBReader to read them and Mango for my daily manga needs.
That and a whole bunch of IT Crowd Episodes + Animes help me stay a happy camper on my CM9 Nook Color.
The nook is great because its easily rootable. The screen is wonderful.
However.... I might be the only one who thinks this, but even with decent overclocking, android (cm7 AND cm9) is jumpy and laggy.
Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking for a really cheap Win 8 Pro Tablet - the catch: it should be at least 17".
What devices with those specifications could you recommend?
I don't care about hardware or resolution or anything, just the size and the OS.
It can be the worst thing ever produced, as long as its cheap
Any suggestions?
I Don't Know IF This Device Has The Specifications You Want >>>>>But What Do You Think About Thinkpad 2
Think you best look for an All-in-one touch PC.
Most all-in-one machines don't have a battery. From what the OP said, it sounds like they want a machine that is at least nominally portable.
Frankly, there aren't going to be a lot of 17" tablets, because tablets are intended to be portable and 17" is not the size of a very portable computer. There are some 17" desktop replacement laptops with touchscreens, and I think I've seen one 17" detachable tablet (can connect to, but doesn't need, a keyboard; internal battery) from... Toshiba, maybe? Honestly, you may as well just go look on Amazon and Newegg, unless you're looking for some imported Korean thing with no warranty and a power brick that doesn't use US plugs. (Mind you, this isn't an inherently terrible idea; I got a cheapo Korean 27" monitor off eBay, and I like it. But buyer beware...)
He could buy and generator along with it. Small one
Hello,
I am one of those who are looking for a 8inch windows 8.1 china tablet with high specs at a decent price (<150$). I opened this thread because I can not decide which one to choose and I am sure this would be useful for future possible buyers of such tablets.
So, I have found so far 4 options:
1. Teclast X80h
2. PIPO W2F
3. Voyo a1 mini
4. ONDA V820w
Prices range from 110$ to 145$
They all share mostly the same specs:
-IPS 1280x800 display (16:10)
-1.83gHz Z3735F Intel Atom processor quad-core
-2GB DDR3 RAM
-32GB internal memory
-4200 to 5000mAh batteries (Onda 4200mah, Pipo 4500mah, Teclast and Voyo 5000mah)
Onda V820w is the newest tablet and it should be the most valuable since it supports SD cards up to 128GB. I wanted to buy it right away despite the slightly lower battery capacity. 32GB for Windows really is not much at all. The only thing that stopped me buying it was TinyDeal support: they said is it worse than Teclast and PIPO quality-wise. This is why I opened this thread. I started looking for tablets and these 4 I came up with.
Teclast X80h: I did not find any review yet to say anything bad about this tablet. I guess it would be a safe buy, but because of lack of negative feedback I am in doubt of buying (sounds crazy haha. I am just saying that perhaps those who had problems just not wrote on review section on tinydeal/aliexpress). In January 31st it will be released dual OS - Android and Windows 8.1 dual bootable version of X80h. I thought that we could upgrade the tablet as well to dual OS? (I am asking since I do not know)
PIPO W2F: TinyDeal support also told me that this one is better than Teclast X80h. Why? They did not mention anything, they said that it is simply better quality and people prefer this. So, again I am in doubts about this one. I remember looking for PIPO P1 a month ago and heard that it has some issues that tablet with the sound, it overheats and so on.
Voyo A1 mini: I've read about 3 negative feedbacks on aliexpress about this one: all related to the touchscreen and one also mentioned some problem with an unsoldered wire that solved it by himself.
I just simply can't decide. Honestly, the 128GB SD support of Onda V820w really grabbed all my attention, but I want something that will not break after a month or two.
Those who have experience with these tablets/own one please help us, the ones who are looking for such tablets, with a review: cons and pros and what you recommend.

I can only speak for the Voyo: it supports 128GB microSD and no lose wires or bad touchscreen.

Ok. That is something i did not know. On TinyDeal they say up to 64GB. I've also seen more reviews with weird/laggy touchscreen response. Could you make a brief review? For example, for how long have you had it? Have you had any problems? How has been your experience with it since now? Etc..
I decided to go for Teclast X80h.
PIPO (in general) and Voyo (A1 mini) are cheaply-made rubbish tablets. Problems encountered by many people: battery fail for PIPO, touchscreen and charging port gets defective for A1 mini. Both heat like hell, especially when charging. So, do not buy those cr*ps. As for Onda I did not even bother to look for reviews. TinyDeal themselves said not to buy it, so I will not. I am sure they know why, only that they did not want to tell me.
Teclast is the best chinese tablet maker on the market. They really advance with the technology. They introduced the Dual-OS on chinese tablets, starting with X98 Air and now X80h also come with dual-OS, has 5000mAh but supports only 32GB microSD card for about 135$. That's about it. Reliability over functionality.
As for the xda members "thanks" a lot for your help. I don't even know why I even bothered to write this thread.
I'm looking at purchasing the Pipo W6.
Is it everyones consensus here that Pipo make crappy products and I should stay away?
here are the specs:

I recommend you Teclast X90HD. Muuuuch better screen and better quality overall. Teclast is the best chinese brand for tablet.
Check it on Aliexpress, price is about the same.
root?
hello ... I also decided to buy this tablet rather than the 'x98 air because I prefer a more compact format but I liked the dual boot .... I have noticed, however, that there isn't a community behind this tablet, unlike the x98 air and I can not find a way to root ... Any ideas ???

I guess it will take some time until a community will build up. I will go for X80h as well when it gets released. Wanted to get Onda's v891w, but it's not worth it. Onda has serious hardware issues. Too many people has complained especially about V975w, so no, I'll stick with Teclast.
Was not come out? I have ordered on tinydeal (still to come) and wrote that it are dual boot and has installed both windows and Android ....

Teclast is a very reliable brand, and has been making protable multimedia players for many years, not a bad choice, but they are not the best, Have you heard of Lenovo, they are better, but also, they are not the best.
I ask to teclast customer services for the root and they reply me i can use the same toolkit used on x98 air...
As soon i can, i will try on my teclast x80h....

Just bought an X90HD, but the invisible dividing line in the middle of screen (whatever you wanna call it!) is kinda annoying
Code:
bbs.teclast.co*/forum-94-1.html
there are couple of threads here that this issue has been discussed
it's not only the visibility issue, sometimes (especially when you split the screen for multitasking) screen literally splits and you have to restart. there are some speculations that it might get fixed with BIOS upgrade but doesn't look too promising as the line is there even in the BIOS itself. i have not seen any Teclast official staff responding to this phenomena and that makes it more unlikely to resolve
is there anyway that i can get in touch with Teclast technical team? my only source for now is the Teclast forum which is in chinese and google translator can be inaccurate sometimes
I would go with Teclast X80h. Its quite a good tablet.
I'm suprised there isn't a thread yet about the teclast x80h as it is now a dual os device also.
I own one and for the price it is a steal, full windows pc in the form of a tablet. paid 120usd for it.
I looked at the spec, but the 5 points touchscreen is a no-go for me.
Can any body tell me about the battery life

Hello guys, As the title say I want to buy cheap 3d printer and found this one on aliexpress - https://aliexpress.com/e/_DBj9zF7
What do you think about quality? What about price? Thanks guys, every suggestion is wellcome!
@Nikson4200 . Sorry for the late reply , but I did not realize that we´ve gotten a 3d printing section in here, untill now..
Okay, so I have this printer myself, and It´s a fabulous little printer, with direct drive .
The only drawback , is the limited size of the buildplate (180x180mm) . If you plan on printing covers for bigger phones, you will probably miss 5-10mm extra of build plate space.
Kingroon has a Pro model, where the buildplate is 200x200mm. It´s more expensive though.
So much depends on , how tight your budget is, and the size of items you plan on printing.
On the plus side: The smaller the bed/buildplate, the less power consumption
