      Looks good so far.

      1920 x 1080 is max resolution. I would have preferred 1920 x 1200, but for $70, can you complain?

      Also, it does not support Dual monitors.

        Figured. How does it run? Any issues?

          It's pretty snappy. The graphics (quality of text) could be a little better, again, for $70...

            1.2GHZ Q-core A53 ARM
            1GB ram
            8GB storage (presumably micro SD)
            HDMI
            USB 2.0

            Sounds a ton like a Raspberry Pi 2B

              Yes it's micro SD.

                I think now they all come with 2GB ram/16GB storage

                  I'm pretty sure it's 1 gig of memory and the micro SD card can be much larger than 16 GB

                      Oh, I was talking about Raspberry Pi's. My bad.

                        @FATeknollogee Can you tell me if right click works in an RDP session? (or at all?) I heard some android devices have a hard time with the right click.

                          I've got the Remix Ultratablet... in RDP I can just hold to the screen (or two finger tap on the track pad) and it works fine. Using a USB mouse also works fine.

                            @Mike-Davis Let me check
                            I'm updating the RDP app. The release notes for 8.1.30 says "fixed an issue where right-clicking did not work w external keyboards"

                                Been researching thin clients and supposedly RDP 10 is supported on Android. Has anyone installed that version and tested with 2016 RDSH?

                                    You could, in theory, pop Android onto a Raspberry Pi or something for this, too.

                                      I'll give it a go. I gotta charge up my Ultratablet after lunch.

                                          Nice. But seeing how quick they dropped support for their Ultratablet, I probably won't be getting any more Jide products. It seems that they quit supporting their hardware own way too fast. That reminds me, I need to get mine out and see if it works with RDP 10.

                                            @dafyre yeah please let me know if you do. I'm tempted to order one just to try...

                                            Would be interested to know if you can do things like watching YouTube in a session.
