Linx 7 Windows 8.1 tablet

I bought one of these tablets over the last few days and have been very impressed with it. It was €50 in Gamestop

The hardware spec is very impressive for such a low price;
- 64-bit x86 Intel Atom quad core processor
- 1 GB of DDR3 Ram
- 32GB of internal storage
- Micro SD, Micro USB and Micro HDMI ports
- 7in IPS (1280*800) display (215ppi)

The installed software is also very impressive for the price;
- Full version of Windows 8.1
- One year subscription to Office 365 Personal

The body is made of a high-quality plastic and feels quite well built.

The setup was really painless and within a few minutes my Windows settings had been downloaded from the cloud and the desktop was setup exactly as it is on my desktop

I have used a number of programs and they have actually run quite well. Netflix ran perfectly on this tablet.

I was so impressed with this tablet that I bought a second one that I am going to hook up to a flat panel (using micro HDMI) and use as a media player and for light browsing

This tablet compares very favourably to an iPad Mini 32GB (current SP c.€285). The Linx has a faster, more advanced processor, higher resolution display, twice the ram and substantially better expandability options than the iPad Mini. The Linx also uses a full version real-world OS and not the crippled iOS that Apple uses

This tablet for a perfect media consumption device and is also perfect for web browsing and light office work
