user of one here! I use it for FM2015 on the train when going marketing. I recently installed portal and life is strange on it and both ran fine too. turn based games like panzer tactics hd or xcom great too. can also plug it into a monitor with hdmi cable and run office! main selling point for me is 8 hour battery life. unique feature. I have dual booted it with android via remixos though had to uninstall as couldn't get it to run from external memory card, only internal card, and then I ran out of space. could always try again with smaller partition size or see if they have fixed that 'bug'. highly recommended. oh... I also use it for steam play from my desktop computer to my bedroom. watching sports etc is easier with a full pc than tablets as has full 'flash'. Netflix great on it as it is windows 8 so get the full 1080p 5.1 hdmi out app. Oh just seen this version is 64gb. mine is 32gb. so remixos would work great! damn :smiley:

Got one of these on the last deal, very pleased with it.

I turned it on and done the basic setup, whilst checking for updates it offered me Windows 10 so I just installed that and never used Windows 8.1 on it. Boots quicker than my desktop PC that has a 1TB Samsung SSD in, mainly because it has a UEFI BIOS. Useable as soon as you login. Videos play without issue and webpages also scroll without problems. I've installed Chrome and it performs without problems with 4 or 5 tabs open. You can see it's using the memory up but if you're aware of it then it isn't an issue. Scrolling is smooth. Not advertised but mine came with an 'active' (battery powered) stylus and a 1 year subscription to Office 365.

Casing is metal and a lovely shade of blue. The keyboard gets a bit of criticism in the Notebook Check review but I've not had any problems with it. It's Bluetooth rather than a connector like a Surface, but it wakes up and connects very quickly. There's a utility in Windows which tells you how much battery life the keyboard has left as well. These really are a premium product, much better built than the plastic cased Lynx or HP stuff. Screen is glossy and very reflective, so not great for outdoor use or with a window directly behind you. It is an IPS screen though so good viewing angles.

The charger is via USB and will charge from pretty much any standard charger, though it's quicker with the supplied one as it does 9v @ 2amp (very odd) if it's plugged into the tablet. Standard 5v @ 2amp if using with the keyboard.

There's a (mini) USB 3 connector the side that can be used as USB3 or USB2. I've used it with an OTG cable to read a pen drive without issue.

The keyboard keys are a bit small but it doesn't take long to get used to using them, if you're going to be typing on it. Out of the box it comes scaled to 150% in Windows which makes it easier to use, though older applications don't take advantage of this so can look very small.

People have commented that they're concerned it's a previous generation CPU. The newer X8300 and X8500 do have better graphics, but on synthetic benchmarks the Z3775 comes out pretty much the same. Worth noting that this isn't using the Z3735 that seems to come in most cheaper Windows tablets.

Notebook check review (worth mentioning it was reviewed at 400 euros)

Service from Laptopsdirect was good, first one arrived with a cracked screen (internal box was dented). Sent me a returns label and shipped me a new one.

F**k it, purchased - now I just need an 11", 12", 13" for each of my moods. Can't handle bigger really

Damn this site!
Now I have to tell the missus she's bought be an early Birthday present :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks great price but deterred by the neg reviews on amazon, any users on here?

Thanks, been looking at HP, Lenovo, Acer etc but at this price, taking a punt. Ordered :smiley:

Will this work as a laptop replacement or should I spend more on a proper laptop? Current laptop is over 7 years old and on its way out mostly used for internet and working from home.

Does anyone know if this tablet can run Quickbooks 2016 pro on it?
Also can you run normal windows 10 desktop software on it?

Anyone tell me what it charges from ...micro USB or does it have a standard "brick" type charger like the Zenbook?

Is this hot because its £15 cheaper than ebuyer?
