Hi yeah the controller is X input so gets picked up by steam and steam games as an Xbox pad. Streaming is brilliant. It's a nice comfy set up and neater than what you have now as its all in one and you don't need to rest your tablet anywhere. I played a marathon session of Lost Planet 1 on it (installed on the tablet) for 5 hours and it was never strenuous. One thing for people who want to install games on it best to get a fast branded sd card. Some cheaper cards I tried on mine didn't work too well when installing games to it. Sandisk works a treat though. Oh another thing is when you have installed Windows updates go into settings and storage and remove old version of Windows files. Frees up nearly 10gb.

I have had one since launch and it's a great machine. I installed Steam on it and it runs many games great installed directly on it. Skyrim runs nice, Just Cause 2, Arkham Asylum and City all run great. Dead Space 2 runs super smooth.
My only issue is protecting it. It's bulky with the controller dock and there are no bespoke cases for it. I bought a cheap 13 inch laptop sleeve from pound land but it's not very elegant or practical.
For this price it's a steal and I just ordered another. It's better built than those Chinese cheap cherry trail tabs with the bonus of the controller dock which was built by the same factory that makes the official Xbox controllers apparently
prob just the tablet, don't think the controller is included.

I was thinking of buying an nvidia shield, how good is that in comparison to this? (as the price of the shield is double this!). I think I prefer the shield mind so price isn't an issue but still interested in comparison

i just bought a shield and its good but you need to buy the controller. screen red is great and the controller is a must if you like playing fps or any game for that matter. controller supports a lot of the play store top games but if u want the bet games u need to pay monthly amd stream them from nvidia.
having said all of that £69.99 for a tablet/gaming machine is very cheap and at first glance it seems like a better deal as the shield will set you back 200 inc controller.

They are different beasts ,The Shield is an Android Tablet , this is a Windows tablet so plugged in to a TV via HDMI would give you a full all be it low powered PC ;
It will run full PC games and also emulators etc one of its main selling points seems to be streaming from the XBOX one which is supposed to work very well .
I can't vouch for it as I don't have one but I do have a Linx 1010L which is well made .

Edit. This thread is a great resource for those who want to check what games run natively on it. I provided a fair few inputs to it http://www.linxtablet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=1492
