Were you listening to Radiohead?

​720p is classed as 'HD'. 1080p is referred to as 'Full HD'.

I have one. Some thoughts:

1.
The headphone hissing is unbearable. It changes pitch when you touch the screen, and seems to be a design fault as 'refurbished' warranty replacements were the same. You won't be able to use the tablet for movies on the 'plane / music. The only workable alternative is using Bluetooth headphones, which would probably solve that problem.

2.
The screen is bright enough, sharp enough and responsive enough. You'll see the word "enough" a few times here!

3.
Yes, you can install Windows 10 - I did, and immediately returned to the safe harbour of Windows 8.1.

4.
It's quite heavy for its size, but not that unbalanced and feels 'weighty' rather than 'flimsy'. The power and volume buttons work fine.

5.
The case (mine is black) doesn't stay closed magnetically, but I think it's good enough for the £20 that I paid. I know, paying half the value of the tablet for a case... but it does allow you to 'prop up' or 'stand up' the case.

6.
It takes Micro SD cards for additional storage. Yay. Enough.

7.
If you just want something for web browsing (see #8 below), email and the one or two apps in Windows - it's great.

8.
With Internet Explorer for the 'metro' (full screen) interface, you can change default search to Google (using an 'add-in') and install some 'tracking protection lists' to block a lot of web-based advertising. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for £50.

9.
No, it's not an iPad. If apps - especially tablet-focused apps - are you major concern, save yourself £50 and buy an iPad without buying one of these first.

10.
I wouldn't trust the battery beyond four hours.

So, in conclusion, "good enough for £50" is probably the take-home message. :smiley:

Run a disk cleanup to remove the old windows 8 installation directory frees up 11.8GB of space. Bear in mind you cant switch back.

Already out of stock!!

I purchased one last time they were this price,rather good I thought and buying a 7''Leather Case Cover Bluetooth Keyboard For 7 inch Android Tablet PC for £12.40 off ebay made it a very usable little tool with a good battery life.
Upgraded to win 10 but loaded open office as the Microsoft Office is just for 12 months then you have to pay.

I tried it on my lynx 7 (basically the same specs) and it was really laggy..

win 10 does not work great with 1gb... Let's be honest

Deal should be corrected to inform people on the audio port flaw. The audio port is not properly shielded and so interference from the electricals can be heard when listening via earphones. It can't be fixed and it is distracting.

Lies. Open a case with Consumer Direct to get a case reference and then go back to them. Responsibility for problems lies with the retailer NOT with the manufacturer. A manufacturer warranty is in addition to your standard legal rights. In many instances it can be easier to deal with the manufacturer but you don't have to.

I suggest you do some research.
Which? Sale of Goods Act 1979

Oos.

Just something to keep in mind. Even when being sold earlier in year, this was an 'end of life' product that was being or was about to be, discontinued by HP. That said, as long as you go in with both eyes wide open and accept the limitations and/or quirks mentioned in many reviews, it can be a very good tablet.

Surely the bush deal is still better than this? Also this isn't a new better price since. Last time.

I get it's a good price but I won't be voting either way as I feel this is just feeding of its last thread.

guys this is a terrible tablet even at this price. lags on everything, Windows 10 is useless and even the browser is slow. tried watching the ufc on by sports live stream and it couldn't handle that. mine just sits in the draw I have absolutely no use for it. the sound out of headphones is dreadful too. very very poor tablet

This Tablet is NOT SSD, it has EMMC. Huge difference, please correct your listing.

No HDMI port, slow tablet and very poor battery life and build quality. Linx 7 is much better value for money.

​Exactly the same issue for me. Still a fantastic tablet and worth every penny at this price.

same price as last year ,
still got mine , its okay for the price 5 out of ten .......
firmware and bios loading is a must on this device, bang all the drivers on a usb stick
the hp assistant download thingy is terrible get rid , you are better loading the drivers " and naming them yourself "
I would not buy another however the office licence is worth it ....
mine runs windows 10 perfect with Microsoft edge , internet explorer is " way too slow " siya

OOS

But then truly the greatest weird sound.

Looks like it's out of stock now...

My tablet sometimes does this too, you can actually make the keyboard icon show in the system tray in tablet mode (like it does in desktop mode) so you can call up the keyboard whenever you want. All you need to do is right click (or long press..) the taskbar and choose "show touch keyboard button".

I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro which is also a Windows tab.They are well built the only downside is the lack of big title games like Temple Run 2 ( they do have Temple Run Oz & Brave which are both chargeable) in the Windows app store.

But £50 is a bargain, had I not have had Dell tablet I would've bought one.

There are loads of Windows tablets knocking about for around this price point.

another tablet deal

I would agree with this. Runs much worse under Windows 10. Lots of tapping the screen and nothing happening...a bit like using Android on budget devices.

I have been told at Microsoft customer care that they cover it for a month only. Anything goes wrong after that you should be in touch with manufacturer. That's what they told.

"A stunning HD display delivers razor-sharp resolution and brilliant pi..."
*checks resolution*
800 x 1280
*crying laughing emoji which HUKD really needs*

Screen just stopped working after 4 months and hp customer care is a pain in the ass so my advice is avoid. Quite few people have the same or similar problems with this model. It isn't worth it. So sorry lads but cold for me.

Official case £10 inc delivery with code http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=K2N04AA&opt=ABB&sel=ACC

I still have mine from last year, no issues yet, upgraded to Win 10 with no issues, good for editing documents, browsing the web and running apps. Not at all bad for the price considering you get a copy of full fat windows and not the gimped RT version.
I might get another one as it is cheaper than renewing Office 365 (£59.99)

hot...hot..
bought one, thanks.

I returned what I bought last year. It had a hiss sound while using headphones.

hot. got one 6 Months ago and works great. well worth the money.

Bought mine this time last year from MS. Updated to Win 10 fine. It is heavier than a Linx model but the quality of build is better. I use it for work due to its ruggedness. The warranty for mine started from when it was made not when I bought it. I found this out when I registered it with HP. I contacted HP and they confirmed this but updated their records to reflect 12 months from purchase date.

I found the HP7 to be a very robust device. The build quality on my unit is good. I've used it far more than I intended, been on holiday with it, it's always in my backpack. Never let me down. Battery is fine if you use win10 power saving features. Great device for the money.

HD actually starts at 480p infact I'm sure there's even 360p

Don't worry go ahead. Sell the code. If it works for the person you got the money. If not provide a refund. :smiley:

Hey thanks, that was what he was kinda saying and what I'd hoped but I thought someone had mentioned September but couldn't face going back through the 2,370 comments :confused: on the post. I wonder if this will get anywhere near that last posts 4000+ degrees!

Ill turn it into a center streaming console for the living room tv (stream to chromecast V2) and a Skype end point.

5 actually and you can turn them into O365 home edition also

Can you stack office 365 subscriptions?

When I bought mine last year, the Office sub had a September expiry date. Dunno whether this has changed for this sale.

Unless you haven't activated it the code is active. So u can sell the code.

I bought one last time it was this price
Sold the Office subscription for £20 as not needed so it effectively cost me £30
Also don't forget cashback as mine paid out on this product....hope it still applies

Anyone tried running GameMaker Studio on this thing?

Been this price for a while. Always got put off by the reviews/complaints about the battery life.

I bought one last time they were down to this price and it runs great. Just before anyone complains of the amount of ram. It wasn't as fast as my i7 gaming laptop with 16 times more ram, I didn't complain with myself being a bit of a stoic. I endured, persevered and after about ten minutes I came to the conclusion. It works well. I have a Samsung S5 mini with 1.5 of ram running android without to many apps and I sometimes find it a bit laggy at times.

Linx 7 which I bought for £39.99 during black Friday was well worth.

How are companies able to get away calling screens lower than 1080P as HD? How is 800x1280 HD?

Bought one last year. Great tablet. Running windows 10 on it. Great boot up time compared to my old nexus 1st gen. Yes, it has its issues, noise on the headphone jack, but great value for money none the less.

bought last year. good for the price

do u get the windows 10 upgrade?

Bought one of these earlier in the year, surprisingly capable Windows tablet.

You can check the feedbacks and reviews in YouTube. This tablet is prone for this problem

Nice little tablet for the money. I use one to watch videos on. Fits nicely in the pocket or bag so easy to take back & forth to work.

Were you listening to Radiohead?

Looks like a nice price for this.

Awesome. Heat added bought last year. Same price.
Comes with office £365 :smiley:
