It's the same price at the normal argos site for a brand new (not refurbished) one, just add it to your basket and it shows as 59.99

I've got a linx 8 but never use it, such a limited experience. I tried Windows 10 on it but it was very slow so went back to Windows 8.

In my opinion these are this price for a good reason.

oUkTuRkEyIII to dave2

11 Dec 15 #22

Linx 8 doesn't have 2GB so it is not really a good comparison.

haritori to dave2

11 Dec 15 #26

got to disagree, my linx 8 runs windows 10 better than 8.1 and its full PC it runs everything great..

dave2

11 Dec 15 #23

If this had 6gb it still wouldn't get used. As I said, a very limited experience.

I thought it was confirmed that the Argos website description was incorrect and in actual fact this is a 1gb device.

I have a windows tablet with a shattered screen . Could i use the windows 8.1 serial key on a pc version of windows 8.1 . Im just trying to salvage something from it . :smiley:

captainbeaky to jamesphimister50

11 Dec 15 #36

Probably not - will usually have an OEM license which works on the original tablet only.

bluearcus to jamesphimister50

11 Dec 15 #39

If you can plug in a TV and keyboard/mouse, then you should be able to extract the key from the BIOS of the Windows 8.1 tablet by installing a BIOS license key reading tool. After that you'll need to find a download of the ISO of Win 8.1 with Bing (US region only is available, 32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, choose whichever). This can then be installed on any machine using the key you just extracted, and then that machine will upgrade to Win 10. I've done this exact process on some HP mini desktops that were shipped within Win8.1Bing. Once you've got Win10, you can re-install from scratch if you like using the media creation tool.

do the cameras work on your linx 8 with windows 10
, on the linx 7 mine don't, might download the linx 8 camera drivers and give them a wirl

christopheshort1

11 Dec 15 #31

will you not get a £5 voucher too buying from the shop? for spending over 50. I bought the linx 7 tablet for 40 and sold the office key for £28 quid. not sure how much I'll use a tablet as I've never had one before but for 12 quid I guess I can't go wrong.

Incorrect. OEM licenses can be transferred. Microsoft lost that particular battle in the EU courts.

Beware upgrading to win10 using the "don't keep anything" option, as it will overwrite the touch screen driver with one that doesn't work! :confused: I had to take it back for a replacement, the new one had touch screen issues also so I'll be taking that back also.

LINX8 for me I think;)

bluearcus

11 Dec 15 #45

you must have the iso for the correct Windows version though. So you'll need the Bing one...

xela333

11 Dec 15 #46

This does not have the play store, that is only available on Android devices. This has the Windows app store which is much more limited. You can run the standard pc version of Minecraft but no idea how well that will cope with a touch screen

jamesphimister50

11 Dec 15 #47

Thanks i have everything i need now . So i can use a 64 bit o.s aswell . Ill try that first .

bouncy99

11 Dec 15 #48

does the latest version of windows 10 via mct not allow you to directly input windows 8.1 keys during a clean install? I though they had now included that in the latest build.

jamesphimister50

11 Dec 15 #49

I had a look at that . Since the end game is windows 10 i suppose i could try that . At least now i have loads of options .

Anyone tried streaming to this from their xbox one after upgrading to windows 10? The spec should be ok as its very similar to the linx vision 8 which was designed for that purpose.

I assume this has the single USB/microUSB port, thus isn't possible to use USB devices and charge the tablet at the same time?

popoyaya

This adapter can be used to charge and use devices at the same time...

Just went into my local Argos and their stock system said they had one left. Thought I'd get it but after paying the guy brought out one that was covered in tape saying it had been checked and re-sealed by Argos. I thought this was a bit strange, he assured me it was not a customer return but I declined. Strangely he then went back and found another one that hadn't been opened. I'm updating it to Windows 10 at the moment.

CountFilth

12 Dec 15 #58

If you read that it says the ability to charge and use OTG at the same time is limited to a very few devices. It's very unlikely to work on this.

does it come with the Office 365

CountFilth

Yes. I'm thinking about selling my code on ebay as I don't need it. The code appears to be preinstalled but visible in be activation url which I've not completed.

Anyone installed minecraft or asphalt or any other game that may push it?

World of tanks out yet for win 10?

How much free user space is left ?

can we get some sort of user experiences with this please?

Ftang

Bought one. Seems decent. Was hoping to get that £49 Tesco one but glad I got this with double the RAM and internal storage. 32gb fills very quickly and is faster than an SD card so better for programs games etc

Quality seems reasonable. Screen is sharp. Speaker and camera are a bit rubbish, touchscreen could be a bit more sensitive (but much better than if it were too sensitive).

Its a bit trickier to use compared with an Android tablet which would be more suitable for the majority of tablet users. Plus the windows app store is a bit rubbish compared with Androids. Only get this if you want to run windows desktop apps on a tablet sized machine. Connect a keyboard and mouse and youve got a tiny 8" windows laptop.

ETA

Not tried windows 10. Is there any benefit installing this over 8.1? Office 365 works well on a tablet, better than LibreOffice and Google Docs.
Needs more ports. Wondering if I should try finding a USB OTG charger wotsit, then use USB mouse keyboard or get Bluetooth items?

Ftang

13 Dec 15 #64

Has anyone tried this? or would I be better using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse?

jamesphimister50

13 Dec 15 #65

I got the key and it was judge legit at the start of a 64bit win 8.1 install . So thanks again . I can install it on my sons new ssd hd .

According to Intel the Atom Z3735G only supports a maximum of 1GB RAM.

Can someone who has this tablet check their system information in Windows to see how much RAM it really has?

popoyaya

14 Dec 15 1 #67

Already been discussed ad infinitum. It's an Z3735F with 2GB.

I bought this last December from Argos but has completely borked now - won't boot up etc. - should it be possible to return it to Argos for repair/replacement?

CountFilth

26 Apr 16 #73

If you've got the receipt then yes, if you can do it before 6 months the law is more on the consumers side. I had one of these and wasn't that impressed so ended up selling it for £40.
