A colleague of mine is buying Windows tablets for their son and daughter. Are the below good?:

£100-£150 is the budget. He likes the idea of Windows IF running Windows 10 as that will negate the app store problem. His children are 8 and 12yrs. Something they could use for Facebook, Netflix but also to do their homework.

I have the Linx7 and could defo recommend them as a great budget tablet. The 7" can be got for £50 when there are deals going. Granted though it's small so only really for videos (incl Netflix), very basic games and internet. Dunno how much homework you'd get done on a 7/8/9" tablet though.... With your budget I'd have thought you'd manage to get a Linx 10" or other W10 tablet

and they can run full Windows 10? I know the Windows app store is quite sparse. Having the ability to run the full desktop would be good.

Yeah I run Windows 10 on mine. To be honest I mainly use it for browsing, watching video files or simple games. Advantage of something this size is that it'll fit in a big jacket pocket if you wanted it on the bus/train. Another handy thing is I brought it away before and was able to download photos we had taken of an event and show them to other people on the screen.

Sorry just realise how cheap the 9" one is! Sounds like a great price but I haven't heard much about them..... A bit more onboard memory would be good, but at least it has a MicroSD slot.
