I posted this a couple of weeks ago when it was 119.99. It is now 109.99 but with DISCOUNT CODE - 10% off the marked price this reduces it further. Enter code: 10LAPTOP at checkout. Also available in store.
Received a bit of bad feedback from some who had bad experiences with it. For my part I have bought 2 and have had no problems with either. Its now below the hundred quid mark which in my opinion is great value for what it is.
Hope this helps someone looking for a cheap last minute xmas present!!

I'm typing this on one of these as we speak.
Perfect for light use and lying in front of tv surfing, which is what the majority of people use this type of machine for.
If you are a power user, then you have no business thinking about getting this machine, and you need to move on.
It is no Surface Pro, but it is IMO very competent at what it does.

Anybody looking to get this delivered, change the defaulted 'free delivery in 5 working days' to 'choose when i want delivery' and you can get it delivered tomorrow for free.

A lot! This only has an Atom processor, 2Gb RAM and small storage. Think of this as quarter of what the cheapest Surface Pro is and can do. I have a similar one which is great for watching videos and browsing, but when you start putting heavier things on then it really slows down. I just put some awesome old games on like Portal which it can actually run quite well surprisingly!
Good deal so heat!

I've owned one of these. In the end got a dualboot from China because I wanted Android too but would strongly recommend this for the price.

i know others answered you but I thought I'd throw this out there too!
if you're looking to portable game, the pro series have blew my expectations out the window!
my surface pro 2 is playing shogun 2 on high graphical quality. that to me is insane for a tablet/laptop hybrid.

Apart from the Linx being slow and laggy compared to the MS Surface, also the screen resolution. The Linx tablet doesn't have full pen support, does not have a pressure sensitive digitizer screen (no specialised pen) The MS Surface Pro does, and is ideal for artist, art students and graphic designers etc.

I had one of these but sold it, found it very slow and screen not very good in bright conditions, plus keyboard will often disconnect

haven't found it to be slow generally but then I've only used for Kodi, Office and general browsing which is what it is intended for. Agree that the keyboard can easily disconnect in certain circumstances - its magnetically connected so care needs to be taken.

Probably TCB around 2% I think.
Such a shame it's not USB 3 and it's not easy to find out it's not.

Pretty sure it is USB 3.0 Device manager seems to think it is anyway.

These are really good tablets for the price, I bought one slightly over a year ago for just about the same price. In many ways it is better than our iPads: connectivity is easier via the HDMI and USB ports and storage can be easily and cheaply expanded with a SD card. The keyboard is a real bonus, I got a nice case from Fintie which tidies it up well. The only issue I have had is that the tablet takes a long time to charge (I'd say about twice as long as an iPad), I don't think there is anything wrong, and it is not a big problem as I charge it overnight and the battery life is good.
I'd certainly recommend this machine if one needs a larger tablet that is almost a laptop, it is excellent for streaming, browsing and running the MS Office programs that came with it. At under £100 this is a bargain, so I've added some heat.

Yep - any Windows program will run subject to the specs
