I would buy the Chuwi Hi8 from gearbest.com eu warehouse for around £60 (better RAM, better screen, no HDMI), or wait for the Hi8 Pro due in a few weeks for a similar price and featuring HDMI and updated chipset.

it's a bit of a gamble though, if there's a problem you're basically screwed.....ive read many horror stories regarding gearbest

I got mine from Banggood but agree it's one of the best small tablets I've ever used, the display is amazing. Android dual-boot is useful but I'm usually using Windows 10.

Have to agree with shylander. Its all well and good if your item works and is as described but any problems and they dont want to know. Personal experience with Geabest. Bought from EU warehouse had to ship it back to China. Got money back through paypal after dispute but lost the return shipping cost.

Be warned about these. 3 of my colleagues and I all bought linx tablets (8 or 10 1st gens) during the staples fire sale last year. They all broke in a similar way within a month of each other in august. The screen stopped displaying correctly and responding to touch. Linx said that this was not covered by warranty and they have no repair infrastructure so all they could offer was a refurbished replacement where you give them 70 quid and your old unit and they give you a refurbished unit.
Awful customer service. I wont be buying again.

I bought 2 Linx 10s from Staples in the fire sale last year, been an amazing. No issues what so ever.

These tablets are just not nice to use with 1GB RAM, you get what you pay for. I've used a few different brands, the brand doesn't matter that much but the spec does. With 1GB these feel sluggish, the screen rotation is slow and cumbersome.

2GB is better obviously but 1GB is just fine - Windows 8 and 10 make efficient use of what they have available.

Not in my experience they aren't. I've sold them and had customers moaning about the speed of them. For the price it's hard to grumble, this is a Windows Tablet PC for £79, that's pretty amazing in itself, but we get so used to technology and always expect more for our money.

So what's the difference between this and the first gen linx 8?

Same hardware specification, this comes preloaded with Windows 10 instead of Windows 8.1 as per last years model. Presumably the name is 810 because it's a Linx 8 with Windows 10.
There's a new build of Windows 10 to be released next week, it's already doing the rounds on torrents. The build is 10586 and known as Windows 10 Threshold 2. This tablet should update to that build this month. The current official release of Windows 10 is build 10240.
