Great little tablet, also (as long as power settings are set correctly in Windoze) the battery life is brilliant.

Great deal for the money.

We've had a couple of different versions of these - I even ended-up being stuck using one as my daily driver for a while: I was impressed with what it actually managed to keep up with (Photoshop/SketchUp)*... obviously it'll struggle if you try to have to many things on the go at once (the 2GB RAM sees to that) but I genuinely believe it's good enough for most casual users.

The battery on mine has died completely after about 18 months and replacements don't seem to be available unless anyone knows otherwise. It will not run at all once it thinks the battery is too low even with a charging cable plugged in.

Its not dead it probably safe-mode lock it happened to me but learned linx has safety shutdown lock, that's why it thinks its dead also when you charge your tablet turn it off then charge it should charge really quick.

You'd have to pop the hood, check battery power / physical size etc. and try fleabay which has generic spares. May involve soldering two wires. But if it means that much...

the battery life on mine was pretty rubbish, I plugged in a two usb to micro usb to charge it while I played with it. it KILLED it :disappointed: thankfully it was under warranty and was replaced. it does get really warm while charging though

Do these have full size USB ports? I'm looking online and find variations.

These don't, the 1010 model for 69.99 does.
These can be upgraded to windows 10.
Before it stopped working mine would not talk to a microsoft tv dongle which my wife's 1010lite from sainsburys (which I am using now) would talk to.
