Just to, hopefully, clear a few things up, the original 10" Tablet was called the Linx 10. This had the origami keyboard, Windows 8.1 and 12 months Office 365. The new 10" tablet is called the Linx 1010 (Linx 10 with Windows 10?). This has the 'proper' hinged keyboard, Windows 10 and Office Web apps. I have both. The new keyboard is much better although also much heavier. Note that the keyboard connectors on the 10 and 1010 are different hence they are not interchangeable. The other main difference are that the 1010 has 2 full size USB connectors and one micro connector which is also used for charging. The 10 is charged by a 'DC Plug' type connector, so a little more inconvenient. Processor, memory, screen etc are all the same. With regards to 1010 and 1010B, I don't think there's isn't any difference. My box says 1010, but the barcode says 1010B. My suspicion is that they intended to bring out different colours and the B is Black. One think to look out for is that there is a 'Lite' variant about that only has a 16GB SSD, although I believe that's only available from Sainsburys. If anybody else has any other questions regarding the differences, I'll be happy to try and help.

Can anyone recommended a case? Thanks

Just received mine, agree they are fairly heavy as a combination

dispatched finally!

Amazon - £129.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014D847FS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_4&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

It is £129 on amazon.

playing football manager 2015 on this and its super smooth. runs no issues with about 5 leagues loaded. even the 3d matches play well. anyone know if fm16 would be playable?

Still awaiting shipping myself. Looking at the item it is still showing receive by 4th-7th. My order was scheduled for 3rd-4th so hoping it gets dispatched swiftly....

Anyone had theirs shipped yet?

does anyone know what size micro sd card it can support up to? i have a 128gb usb but would prefer a micro sd card.

Yeah, the keyboard dock is really solid and well made with a metal hinge. It has to be heavy though to counterbalance the weight of the tablet or the whole thing would just fall backwards. That's the one downside of these hinged keyboard cases - they double the weight of your device as they basically have to. The hinged Zagg keyboard covers for the iPad are exactly the same - they are usually heavier than the iPad itself!

The alternative is the floppy keyboard cases with only one angle. Lighter but far less sturdy and versatile.

Currys / Pc World have this for £139.99 and you get a free keyboard via Claim

Could for 2 reasons:

1. The supplier is dreadful, good luck getting a problem sorted 6 months later
2. This is the B model with the inferior keyboard.
I'd hold out for Amazon

Sure .... which is why they have a 99.5 % feedback

after a few hours use im very pleased. feels a real solid machine. With the keyboard attached its actually quite heavy something some people may not like.
Software wise there are lots of updates it has gone through which does take ages...
All seems very nippy though. Browsing is smooth and switches between apps smoothly aswell.
Have yet to try the xbox streaming, not sure how to set it up tbh.

For 125 ding im more than happy!

If you have no experience buy cheaper one.

orderd this from amazon on friday for 124.99, should be here today. will give my thoughts then.

I know this doesn't have office 365, but are the office mobile apps adequate enough?

Save up for a Lenovo. Brilliant 10" tablets.

got it this evening. feels really premium and was up and running in a matter of minutes. just trying to get used to windows having not used it in years.

I have ordered via Amazon as if any problems, no hassle and a lot easier to communicate with, etc... I presume the tablet/keyboard are the same on both deals?

I was going to buy but ill hold out for when Amazon do it at the same price, their returns policy is just so much better

I can't comment on the seller as I've never used them but this is an excellent price for this product.


Incorrect. The 1010B has the superior, Asus Transformer-style keyboard. My wife has it and its very, very good. The older 1010 had an origami-style keyboard case which was generally regarded as rubbish.


As someone who has had and used both, I fail to see how the Asus is "way better" than this. The specs are virtually the same, the new Linx keyboard case is better with superior key travel in my opinion and the build quality of both is roughly equal. At double the cost, the Asus is hard to justify.

thanks guys, I think I'll stick with the Asus

cold*

Does anyone know what the difference is between 1010 and 1010b

That's double the money+

The Asus is way better. Don't buy anything from laptop outlet direct, they have shocking customer service and the after sales care is non existent.

I wouldn't touch laptop outlet direct with a barge!
Brought a chromebook from them in summer, and

I’m stuck between this and a ASUS Transformer TF101 (Amazon link here), anybody with experience with these devices know which is better?

Thank you kindly, I missed this on Amazon on Friday! Ordered one for my missus. Her current laptop takes a day to start up.

Its funny via Amazon.co.uk and the supplier 'Laptop Outlet UK' is charging £149.99. That's the same company:

Business Name: Laptop Outlet Ltd.
Business Address: Laptop Outlet
UNIT 10 Woodford Trading Estate
South End Rd, WOODFORD GREEN
Essex
IG8 8HF
GB

Better get this via their Ebay store. :smiley:

must be a mistake, even a best offer of £119 got automatically declined lol

I play plenty of Steam games on my 10 without issue. I also use home streaming occasionally and have never had a problem.

Great tablet in my opinion, and a great price.

Can confirm that Broken Age is fully playable on Linx 10. Rocket League however is not

1010B has a much better keyboard

the title is a bit misleading, this doesn't come with MS Office. It comes with Office Mobile (which is free to download anyway on any device)

I have one of these and it is good for the price

everything!

the same people are selling the tablet without the keyboard for over 134.99 so is it a mis-price?

I have ordered 3. Not had any refund or anything

Just got a refund?

Go in with £90 and they'll either accept or make a counter offer back

these accept best offer. does anyone know the best best offer they accept?

Well for the price its a great tablet but probably not for everyone

​sorry was meant for the comment above yours

lol. i emailed them, asking the difference between 1010 and 1010b. They have updated the listing now, it is 1010b

Off course any game which meets the spec should run. Just tried one game Gomo, but it wasnt off steam

The official linx keyboard, bought it from Amazon though not here

Orderd, thanks

​have you tried playing games off steam on it directly?

​have you recieved it? which keyboard came with it?

That's not the Linx 1010, just so there's no confusion. It's not the same product.

I bought the Linx 10, and mostly like it, but it can't do Steam In Home Streaming which is a bummer. It skips and jumps all over the place.

I dont think so , i bought 1010b from amazon with the keyboard few days ago

not same price its 139.98

​i think the difference is the keyboard case. the 1010 supposedly has a magnetic flexi back which folds into a stand for the tablet where as the 1010b doesnt. mines is out for delivery so will let you know what the keyboard is.

This one includes keyboard and ebay gives u 3ish% cashback as well...

Tempted for my small business

let me know :smiley:

Hi All, apologies in advance for my naivety but is this the 1010B model that was listed on amazon for a similar price last week? Great find either way. Heat.....

Question? Is the office for 1 year or lifetime

No keyboard with that one though by the looks of it.

Great deal IMHO.
