Yup; on a Linx 10 and it's reasonable enough. The Linx has a higher spec processor than this though. However, it's the 2gb main memory that the biggest problem IMHO.

If you are avoiding 'desktop' stuff then I'd suggest checking the store first to ensure the apps you want are there.

Biggest issue I've had though is updates breaking auto-rotation on a Linx1010 (have to manually rotate in the settings until I can find a fix for it (although fortunately I mainly use it in landscape)).

I have 6 windows 10 tablets of varying dimensions, personally I quite like windows as a tablet experience, but mostly because you still get the benefits of desktop apps, the app store, although better than it was, still has gaps, so worth checking before you commit.

The specification of this one, although not great, should give a reasonable experience so long as you don't expect the world, I've run SQL server and visual studio on a 10" tablet with Atom CPU and it was ok, certainly compared with the alternative of carrying a 3kg laptop, which was why I got it,

The one thing I've found with windows tablets, because they are more than a toy OS, you tend to expect to be able to do much more than iOS or Android, so a keyboard and mouse will be high on your next purchase list. But my two boys would tell you their Linx 8" tablets are fine for games, video watching and email..

Also watch out for a single charge/peripheral usb slot, if you can't charge whilst using USB devices, you may find this gives problems. I used to run an early Linx 8", managing my house alarm and home automation, it had a single micro-usb port for USB and charging, even with a hub you could only trickle charge whilst using devices, it meant to keep it running 24x7 I had to modify the code to make it super efficient and minimise anything unnecessary, a bit like a scene in Apollo 13 trying to eek out the power.

If you move up to the surface pro 4, of course, the experience becomes a dream, I certainly haven't regretted my purchase, even on a very high resolutions screen, with minimal scaling, it's still very usable in touch only, but like I said before, I end up attaching the keyboard and using a mouse quite a lot.

The Mrs uses a Linx8 from 2015 as a tablet. Just Facebook, email, surfing and Microsoft card games mostly. For £50, it's been a bargain. It's updated to the latest Windows 10, but with only 32GB RAM, it's always a struggle creating enough free space for the updates.

It's £99.99.

It's the same PPI as a 15" Laptop with a 1080p screen.

Oh, and it's £99.

However; weak processor, lower Passmark CPU score than the Bay Trail atoms that were so common in cheap tablets a couple of years ago.

N2807 - 840
Z3735G - 910
Z3775 - 1248
And as an indication of what a proper (albeit far more expensive laptop) might score
i3 6100U - 3753

I am on my Mobile but can't find a link for it. Any chance you could put it on here? Thanks in advance.

I can stream games to my Linx 10 from my Xbox One wirelessly with no problems so it should be the same for PS4.

​ Can't it still be upgraded to win10 for free?

For the money really impressive, well built, very responsive and zero bloatware
