Looking for retailers that carry these chinese brands (Cube or Teclast). Had a look at their 2-in-1 offerings and the specs are quite good. I am primarily looking at Cube Mix Plus and/or Teclast X5 Pro as they offer dual OS (Windows 10 & Android) with latest Kaby Lake chipset.

Purpose of the buy is more for home entertainment plus light work e.g. reply email, work on documents, etc.

Have been looking around in Lazada and Street 11, but most of them don't carry this brand. Possible to also give comments on how they perform and how the hold up to the "test of time"?

The concerns around quality and durability of China goods are still real (but getting lesser) .

Volatile relationship with Wife

My wife is strong-willed (aka stubborn) and is quite career-minded. We have been married for the past 2 years but we have been arguing on-and-off and I really feel sick and tired of this relationship.

Nowadays, we are like 2 strange bed fellows.

I have always had this suspicion that she does not want to bear me children and I am really annoyed whenever I "revisit" that thought. We are married for some 2 years now but we are seldom intimate. It averages out to about once-a-month. We have a couple of major arguments over these topics (Sxx and children).

Honestly, who imposes conditions and criteria(s) so that they can be intimate?

In the beginning, she would refuse to be intimate due to fear of getting pregnant. She would give all sort of reasons and sometimes I will get so frustrated that I will be in a bad mood for over the weekend. And then, she starting imposing goals and conditions.

She would say, "let's do it after our honeymoon, I want to enjoy our honeymoon". When its over, she will say "Do you know how expensive it is to raise a kid, wait until you have RM10k in the bank first. Delivery charges, and cost of staying in maternity house all cost $$$".

And then she would say "Ok, let's wait until I am 30."(She was 29 at that time). And some times, she would say "If you want, then get condoms".

When she hit 30, surprise, surprise. "I think its OK to delay by another year, I will bear you a child when I am 31".

"You are very immature, I dare not bear you a child, because you are so childish".

"Let's just limit ourselves to weekends." blah...blah..blah....

When she hits 31, "My colleagues are organizing a trip to Vietnam,lets go. After we come back, then we can start a family." The trip will be this coming August. We had an argument over this as well. When she brought up the issue of delaying the family plans to year end because she so wanted to go for that trip, she asked me to decide.

I did and I told her, OK then, We will not go for the trip. I want to start my family this year. She decided otherwise and said that in the future, we will not argue about it because it is a "JOINT DECISION". I guess that is what they call an EXECUTIVE DECISION.

There are a lot of others things that we argue about and I do admit that I am a bit of a MCP, but really is all this necessary? At this point in time, I ALWAYS take whatever she says or promises with bucketfuls of salt. I do not trust her anymore.

Seriously speaking, I am just waiting for her new "condition" after Vietnam, then I would love to impose a condition of my own. "Fine, you do whatever you want, let's get a divorce".

Are my suspicions valid?

She has an elder sister that she is quite close to, and she once told me that, if were it not for the "untimely" arrival of her niece, her sister would have divorced her husband (It seems that her sis was on the pill during that time). Her brother-in-law is a scrooge whereas her sis enjoys the-good-life. Maybe she does not want to repeat her sister's folly.
