Windows is good as a laptop but a disaster as a tablet in my view. Apps and mostly games are appoorling, I thought it would get better with the xbox integration but still miles behind...they really need to get better if they want to rival Google or apple.

I had the lesser 2GB RAM model and that was fine for Office and reasonable surfing assuming tabs were kept to a minimum. Was fine for video streaming including x265 / HEVC unless 10bit. Battery life was excellent on that model.
Looks tempting. Anyone know how it performs with Microsoft Office? Just need something light on the go for web browsing, emails, word and streaming videos.

You'd pay probably £160+ for a similar spec ordered from China, so definitely worth the extra to get the warranty benefit.

I wouldn't exactly say they're "miles behind" considering you can pretty much run any existing .exe file vs iOS and Android which requires a full mobile app being made or web app. That and the fact Microsoft, imo, are leading the way for tablets in 2016/17. Why can't I have a full desktop on my tablet?
iOS and Android on tablets were good back in 2013 and the years before it or so but we're in 2017, why are we in a world where tablets are simply diluted down? The Pixel C would be a great candidate for running full Chrome OS but Google decided stupidly not to. Same with the iPad Pro, if Apple got their finger out it would be perfect for running MacOS but again, they chose not too.
Few months ago, I bought a small £40 tablet running Windows 10. Intel Atom Z8350, 2GB RAM, 32GB SSD. I could run full Photoshop, I could run Steam and play Half-Life 2 I had a full version of Office. Granted in usual Windows fashion, battery life was poor but the point I'm making is, I can do so much more on a low-end Windows tablet than I could ever do on an Android tablet or iOS device.
Android has the advantage of OTG and so does Windows so file transferring to a regular thumb drive is out of the question.
We've finally got side-by-side apps in Android and iOS but it's taken this long to get that far. Windows has that built-in by default.
I'm not some Windows fan-boy here as I use an iMac on a regular basis and I have/had iPad(s) and Android tablets in the past but it's just... boring now.

Appoorling. I've never seen such creative spelling. Not normally a 'Grammar Nazi' type (and that's not grammar, I know) but what remarkable invention!

wouldn't touch chuwi with a barge pole. Utter crap and no service.Still have vi10 ultimate but can't use it because sound and WiFi do not work (google vi10 WiFi problem, extremely common issue) . Chuwi doesn't care.
