Question: Keyboard / Flappy Case included or not?
Having spoken to Archos directly, some of these *euro* spec
boxed Archos 90 Cesium tablets do have the keyboard in the
box and some do not..
If you really want the keyboard and yours has not got one with
it, when you get it, simply send it back.. even without it, this is
a crazy price for a branded, 2gb, win10, 32gb rom tablet!
Keep in mind you can use ANY cheap bluetooth mouse/keyboard
with this as well..

Good price, but after buying one of those cheap Linx tablets in January from Sainsburys, you soon come to realise that Windows 10 on a tablet even in 'tablet mode' simply just does not function as well as iOS and android...if you fancy a touchscreen PC on a small screen then this is for you. If you are expecting a designed from the ground upwards mobile experience prepare to be disappointed.

Wouldn't touch anything Archos even if they paid me. Quality will be dire and the support from the company zero.
Do you still get office 365 subscription with these windows tablets?

Quick question thinking of buying for my daughter who will only use it for you tube. Her android tablet has stopped working. Does it have a easy to use YouTube app as i belive the site may seem a bit more confusing compared to a easy to use app.

Microsoft doesn't have a Google made YouTube app, but some of the Microsoft alternatives are actually a lot better than the original Google one e.g Tube Cast

There is a a google app for windows 10 which does have youtube functionality built in but practically speaking it's easier to just run it from a browser.

The Windows app MyTube is very good. I think there is a small cost but it is so much better than the official youtube app on anything

Totally agree but to be honest i was quite surprised at my Acer switch 11 which has replaced my big laptop and my android tab. Depends of course what you use it for. I don't game as much as I can or want to and play on my mobile small session when I can. I normally use it to browse and watch content with the occasional word and email reply which I think this tablet with be fine for. If you require a device for ebook browsing and content viewing with full office support this is the way to go. If you looking for latest app and mobile games I would advise to look elsewhere.

Windows as a 'tablet' OS is still fairly flawed, not as intuitive as Android and still lacking apps. But when you use it as more of a hybrid device with a keyboard and pointing device that's where it comes into it's own.
Plus the fact that low cost windows tablets have HDMI out ports is another point I tend to favour them for.

Really? Windows 10 works fine for me on tablet mode, on the 3 Linx Lights I bought from Sainsbury, not to mention the Surface Pro 3 I used to have and now my Surface Book.
Tip: rescale the display to 125% and you'll find this easier to work with.
Each to their own I suppose, after all this IS a Win 10 tablet and not iOS (horribly overpriced) or Android (good luck with that at this price) so why anyone would expect otherwise mystifies me...
We do have a couple of LG 8.3 inch Android tablets, but they were £200 at the time and have a much better screen resolution. And they don't do half the things even this tablet is capable of.

That really is a pretty good analysis tbh..
My 128Gb Lenovo thinkpad 8 running Win 10 excels over IOS in certain things but TBH often falls over for the most simple tasks such as reliably connecting to a wifi connection! As a result I still use my iPad 3rd gen in preference most of the time.
You really have to wonder how MS managed to make the Windows 10 tablet experience worse than Windows 8?

really not agree with you, just want to show you that is your personal opinion

Anyone expecting a £49 tablet to outperform an Apple tablet that's over 4x more expensive shouldn't be allowed near naked flames.

This is so true. I'd rather a tablet with an OS which was designed from the ground up for it rather than a desktop OS which has been adjusted to suit this form factor. Sure there's the advantage of desktop-class applications, but I can't see many people trying to run Photoshop on something like this to prove a point.
Still, at this price you almost want to take a punt and use it for something else! Kitchen wall-mounted PC perhaps?

agree and disagree having owned a linx8 for a couple of years. first up - win10 (or 8 ) is not even remotely close to the smoothness and app integration of iOS or android tablets, suffers problems with inputs and in my experience with a linx8 can drain battery pretty fast on standby, plus the z3735 chip is 2 years old, very poor in 3d games and can get quite hot.
flipside, it's windows. install steam on it and it can stream games from your pc, plus it's capable of playing games such as XCOM 1 at low settings and handles indies, older rpg's/strategy games and visual novels just fine. you have a world of proper productivity programmes (and their free/trial versions) to choose from as well as a huge selection of games and plenty of sources to buy from.
i'm waiting for either a really cheap z8300 tablet or the next budget mobile chip to come along to upgrade from my linx8, and win10 can be a dog to use on a touchscreen (right clicking and mouseovers are a nightmare and even app switching/closing is a grief) but even older devices like this are great if you've ever wished you can install windows programmes/games on a tablet. if you just want email, web, social media and youtube plus some f2p games you are better off sticking with a budget android though.
