you cannot go wrong for £50 with dual boot - looking at reviews it seems a solid tablet. I just want it for streaming and casual net surfing.

How are you getting on with it? I am looking for a cheap windows tablet for basic media playback and accessing a portable hdd of media for when I am on my holidays. I have an iPad but Apple want £40 for the HDMI cable and from what I have read the reliability is terrible which is the last thing I want if I am out of the UK. A cheap tablet like this would be ideal for just £50, I was actually looking at the Cube iWork 10 but I think the extra spec would be wasted for my needs.

How long did it take to arrive and did you use the EU warehouse or did it get shipped from China, if it was China did you get hit for customs?

I will answer all those questions when it arrives this week mate

Well there's an anticlimax, I thought you already had it.

I'm interested in hearing thoughts on this too

Well, I've been playing around with it and i cannot complain for the money. Handles most things very well net surfing and watching videos.

I'm not really a fan of playing games on tablets but this can handle a lot on the windows OS - check youtube for games.

How smooth is it when browsing, for example? I bought a teclast x98 plus and find Android on it quite sluggish. Chrome pages don't scroll smoothly like they do on a typical Android phone.

since windows 10 store does not have chrome i had to install it manually - i had some weird problems at the beginning after install but when restarted its flawless.

oh, android 5.1 with dual boot on this product is fine - that also includes chrome

How are you finding battery life for general browsing and video playing?
