I want a laptop for my son to play roblox ect on and do homework would this be any good can't find many reviews tia.. :smile:

Very nice tablet for the money. Nice to see something using AMD.

this is probably a half tablet with keyboard / half laptop... good for the money but I'd rather a proper laptop myself

still voting hot on this though

i had these same specs in an Acer desktop from ebuyer. it ran Boderlands 2 on medium settings pretty well.

It's a fair price for respectable specs. The mechanical drive is fairly dire but then I guess for some people larger volume is more appropriate than fast solid state storage. 4gb of ram is going to be handy for those who leave dozens of chrome tabs open (I'm guilty of this on my systems that have enough memory) and the bigger screen even though it's low res will avoid windows scaling issues. And I'm assuming it's an A4 5000 cpu so it'll outperform your typical budget Atom tablet.

I wouldn't personally subject myself to it though. My ~800g Dell Venue already feels weighty enough that it spends very little of it's life as a tablet. I'd say with the bulk and weight of this it's going to spend it's entire life docked, which means it is needlessly top heavy (although it will keep you lap cool, so silver lining).

A mechanical drive feels stone age once you've gotten used to solid state, external storage or NAS make so much more sense for volume storage.

My 1290x800 8.9" tablet is hardly pin sharp so this screen will be pretty dire to good eyes.

This is a reasonably tempting proposition for a parents system I'll admit. Maybe even the young'uns.

As for the free upgrade to Windows 10, that offer ended didn't it? You can still get it if you enable accessibility options I think but it's not available as a straight free upgrade anymore so I suspect Argos just haven't updated their description.

Surely that is no longer the case since Microsoft have recently closed the free upgrade offer?
