I have one. At this price it's a bargain.
The screen is really nice, and watching Netflix in bed is a good experience - the headphone socket produces good clear sound.
The tablet has a microUSB port which also works in host mode, this is used to charge it. It has a microHDMI for connecting to a TV. It's only got 32GB of flash storage, but you can fit a large (I have a 64GB card) microSDHC card to give it some elbow room, and the card fits very nearly flush. It's got bluetooth, front and rear cameras, 802.11b/g/n wifi.
Battery life is great because there's a battery in the keyboard dock. The dock also has a full sized USB socket and a full sized SDHC card slot.
It runs Windows 10 fairly well, but the Silvermont Atom Z3735F CPU is a little anaemic, so you wouldn't want to be doing anything too stressful.
Oh, and for linux fans, it sort of runs linux OK - needs a custom kernel and a wifi driver installing, and then you have a basic laptop with touchscreen, keyboard, touchpad, wifi. Things that don't work: cameras, bluetooth, sound. So avoid it as a linux device unless you're willing to live with severe compromises, and put in some effort. PM me if you're interested.

Just bought one! Specs are amazing for this price, especially the screen quality along with the 300 bonus nectar points on ebay.

Some scathing reviews on Amazon. Like everything else, you pays your money and takes your chances.

Bought - been looking for a titchy laptop for my 2 hour train journeys and this has good source for the price. Let's see if it comes battered or with a crapped out battery :neutral_face:
just went for the transformer Asus deal although I'm still in the fence about what it can actually do! anyways it's a little more but better processor, bigger screen, double the size hard drive and brand new, supposively with a great battery... worth looking at
