** A WINDOWS 10 GAMING TABLET FOR UNDER £150 !! **

How does the controller connect? Is it via bluetooth as I dont see a usb port? Does it show up as DirectInput or XInput?

Thanks I would love a Xinput device like this.

I have seen Gibbo's and RJKs replies already.

But I read this differently to how they read it. I read it as are Caseking UK able to sell to B2B/Trade ie. Distribute within the UK?

No, it is a B2C product, no trade. We want end-users getting these as there will only be about 2000 units in time for Christmas potentially.

Your tablet has a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator not the HD4000. This new tablet will offer at least twice the graphics performance but i still think you will be playing games on low settings. But for the price you can't really complain.

Yeah sorry you right I was thinking of my sons laptop. Wonder if you can get the keyboard for this like you can with the 10" tablet.

No Bluetooth connection, it is actually 4 Pogo pins on bottom edge of the tablet that connect with the controller when it docks in. Not sure about the DirectInput or XInput, I would need to look into.

I've been fortunate enough to demo one of these, they are a lot of kit for the price in both build quality and specification. The tablet itself competes with the windows tablets in the market but has the added bonus of the controller included, which is comfortable to use, very responsive and with a quality finish. The streaming function is effortless to set up and brings a new twist to traditional gaming. Would highly recommend for anyone!
 
Not so much interested in the gaming possibilities, more just using it as a general tablet. Looks like it has the perfect specs and at a good price.

Tempted!

how does performance on this compare to a nvidia shield..?

Off the top of my head against the tegra 4 generation it has a faster CPU but about the same GPU performance I believe - against the X1 graphics wise there is no competition the X1 is like upto 4-5x faster - the Cherry Trail SoC isn't really designed for gaming though it does "OK" its performance is more aligned for productivity stuff - handling multiple apps and stuff like that. (I can hook my Bay Trail tablet upto a keyboard, mouse and monitor and run the full office suite + other programs in a desktop environment without a hint of any slowdown).

However you get a full desktop environment that can play Windows games so its swings and roundabouts.

The battery life on this will be the deciding factor as to if I get one or not. Especially with the NVIDIA Shield just being released again in its new form!
 
I bought one of these from another retailer and had a good session with it yesterday. I don't have an Xbox One (yet!) so haven't been able to test out the streaming. The wifi seems decent though and I was downloading Steam games at around 4MB/s (megabytes, not megabits) via an Airport Extreme.

I've managed to get Skyrim running in a playable state using a low-res texture mod and Portal 2 and Fallout New Vegas with no extra mods at around 25fps.

I'm not a regular Windows users so I might not be able to answer all your super-specific questions but I'll try my best!

Battery life seems pretty good so far - I played Skyrim for a good couple of hours yesterday and there was at least 60% battery left (I'm not sure it was even full when I started).

Windows seems to think that I'm using an Xbox One controller as far as I can tell - if there's a bonafide way of telling what it is then let me know.
 
I have the older Linx 10" and what you get for the price isn't bad just don't expect too much. My main gripe with mine is it gets too hot pretty easy so I hope this model has a much better heatsink on else it'll be pretty bad for gaming.

It got through a couple of hours of Skyrim without heat issues. Besides, you're holding it by the gamepad so you wouldn't really notice it!

How your finding the battery life on it?

Not much of a gamer, will be just a general browsing machine really.

I am torn between the Vision and the Shield K1, battery life will be the deciding factor.

One thing to watch out for - I believe most games have to be in a windowed mode for touchscreen functionality to work (if at all) but usually on those Intel SoC graphics windowed modes knock your framerate in half.

I haven't had that much time with it but I've played for 2-3 hours on a single charge with 60%+ left. When I initially unplugged it after a full charge, Windows reported something like 8 hours remaining. If it's just for browsing I imagine there are better tablets for that - Windows 10 works ok with touchscreen but I'd still rather use iOS for lighter stuff.

That's good to know, thanks. I haven't tried using the touchscreen for any games yet, just the controller dock.
