New low cost toy
-
I haven't booted into android yet because windows 10 is running great.
-
@Dashrender I did find out that android does come with the google playstore. so that is a big plus.
-
google chrome with all my extensions is sucking memory, but its running fast.
-
I am thinking about getting this bluetooth case.

It is a consideration. But only for those who actually leave their desks.
Uh - I do leave my desk sometimes... I could use it on the Walking trail...

After a week,.. how are you liking it?

Looks like you can also work directly in Linux:

Interesting. We have one of the little Dell W8.1 Atom tablets, looks to be about the same size, but we had a hard time coming up for a use case for it. It got passed around the department like a $3 hooker and now nobody wants to touch it. I gave it the nickname Satan's Tablet because everyone who tried it seems to be cursed by bizarre issues. It has since been cast into the Intern's Drawer of Tartarus, which cannot be opened for 1,000 years, at which point it will be let free to plague humanity. On the upside, its Windows Updates should be finished right around that time.
Anyway, maybe THIS $99 Windows tablet would be

It is still really fast. I got a bluetooth keyboard with a built in touchpad and I have been using it about 50/50 with my desktop now. I haven't turned my laptop on since I got it. For me it's a valid laptop replacement. I may upgrade to their 10 inch model and give this my wifey in a few months.

Huh.. that 10" model is more than twice the cost.

I am still getting used to the 8 inch screen size... I would like it in 10.

My manager just popped in my office for something and I kept that Amazon page conspicuously open and maximized on my 27" display while we chatted. After he noticed it he immediately got all hot and bothered and said ORDER IT!
So I'll report back tomorrow (thanks Prime!) with my findings on whether or not this thing turns out to be Satan's Chinese cousin.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the $100 price point

I still haven't used Android much. Android is fast, but I have only booted to it twice and used it very briefly.

What kind of battery life are you seeing out of that thing?

I need to do an overall review on the device. The battery is a weakness. I have seen around 4 hours in most scenarios and 5 being very careful.
It also takes the tablet longer than average to charge.

Is that true of just the stock charger, or have you tried it with other higher-wattage chargers also?

I tried charging it with my Samsung Lightning Charger and it was slower than the stock charger.
