Linx 1010 10.1-Inch Tablet - Black (Intel Atom Z3735F 1.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage, WLAN, Bluetooth, Camera, Windows 10)

An impressive bargain 'refurb' tablet at under £70, supplied by excellent seller Fonica via Amazon. It was purchased for use as an occasional set top box and web surfing sofa buddy; the two full USB ports are perfect for the intended use - I'm typing on the separately sold keyboard right now. The screen quality is surprisingly good for the price and far exceeded my expectations; it's bright and clear, with no visible pixels to my fussy eyes. No, it isn't retina quality, but it is still very enjoyable and even handles near-4k You Tube clips. Unlike my other tablet, this one allows me to download Netflix films, but I'm unsure why my other one doesn't. There are no WiFi problems reported by some other users, even from the back of my house and a good distance from the router. The sound is pathetically tinny and is my only gripe, but that's what headphones, sound bars and Bluetooth speakers are for. I easily upgraded the unit to the new Windows 10 Creators Build, and it works flawlessly - so far! Other than Angry Birds and other light games which work well here, I'm no gamer so can't really comment. Battery life seems good, but it will mostly remain plugged in as my zippy bargain set top box. The new Samsung Tab S3 costs £579, but the company will be waiting a long time before I waste that kind of cash on technology that will be out of date by this time next year. No, the Link 1010 won't win any prizes for looks or unique features, but it undoubtedly offers amazing value for money, productivity, and entertainment without breaking the bank. Highly recommended - and the seller, too!

Great build quality, proper connectors and an excellent battery. Windows 10, well I find with most software updates it is a case of one step forward and two back. I ain't found the step forward yet, but found some steps back. Just try re-naming a desktop shortcut, it used to be 2 clicks, now it takes about 6 most complicated steps ! I will stay with Win 7 on my desktop and laptop for as long as I can and, hopefully, MS will have sorted what I call this 'beta' version of 10 out. This Linx tablet is a fine pc to learn about 10 on, I would not hesitate to buy another, really great value for money. I have now, one month on, bought a keyboard and USB mouse, giving me a lovely little laptop that, being Windows, allows me to easily communicate with the other PCs on my network. Even getting to grips with Windows 10 in tablet form.

Received on day of release to find the keyboard wasn't included as stated.however must express how fantastic I found their customer support.who through a link in their app actually phoned me! They admitted a misprint on they site and that the option with a keyboard would not be available as a replacement for a couple of weeks,I was happy to keep it without keyboard and was given a very generous discount for the mix up. The tablet itself is nicely made,display nice, speakers a little on the weak side but I did have an iPad before so to compare the two considering the price difference would be unreasonable. A great tablet at this price point,which was purchased as a short term trial ahead of a possible purchase of a pro surface 3. Only draw back is it does seem to lose charge even when shutdown.

A practical tablet at a bargain price. The screen layout seems a bit illogical but everything works when you can find it.

First, a note: I bought mine from another retailer though I originally bought it from Amazon who mistakenly sent me the non-keyboard dock bundle, but they should have this resolved now. About 6yrs ago I had an Ubuntu Linux netbook and 2yrs ago an 8" Windows 8.1 tablet - this Linx device seems a hybrid of that. In fact it errs more to netbook because of the 2 full size USB ports, micro USB port, mini (or is it micro?) HDMI port and micro SD card slot (I have a 128GB card in there, there's no stated limit to what size card you can use), which makes this quite noticeably thicker and heavier than say a Samsung Galaxy Tab or the even more svelte iPad Air 2. But while those tablets are excellent 'very big phones', a Windows tablet makes a great 'very small PC'. If you can live with the current inferiority of the Windows Store you'll like this. Okay, you're not getting the horsepower or resolution of a Surface/Surface Pro at this price (it will look a bit laughable compared to Retina/2K), but if you don't plan to tax your machine with heavy-duty multimedia work or gaming you'll find this is good enough. I can manage about an average of 6hrs battery life which is reasonable though not exceptional. The screen is nice and bright and the speakers are loud enough but nowhere as powerful or punchy as from other tablets I've heard (inc. my previous Dell 8"). Over 20GB of space is left from the 32GB to use. You'll find the tablet a bit hard to use with your fingers for a bit as there's some kind of coating that takes time to wear off. The capacitive Windows key is on the bottom of the bezel and which appears on the right in docked mode. And the beauty of the dock is that it's not Bluetooth even though that isn't really a power hog. As soon as it's docked you're ready to go and asked if you'd like to enter the slightly different desktop mode. Unlike the previous model's origami case, this features a tough-swivelling dock area which is more studier (I believe) and allows you to use it like a particularly dense cover for the screen when closed like a book. The mousepad area supports multiple gestures and allows left and right clicking, so do have a read of the booklet to get up to scratch on that. I found the mousepad highly responsive, and as a 2-finger typist the keys are absolutely fine. Included are non-expiring mobile app versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint, so the inclusion of those really ramps this up as a ready-to-go productivity tool. The charger doesn't come with an annoying brick, so could fit fairly easy into any soft case you buy for this. Volume buttons are beside the power and there's a nice rubbery-plastic feel to the whole design which doesn't scream 'budget!' Performance from the Atom chip and 2GB is pretty good. I'm not a big taxer of my machine but when I have too many browser tabs upon it can get a bit sluggish and it doesn't boot or shutdown as fast as my core i5 desktop. Windows 10 is a good upgrade from 8 (which I actually wasn't averse to) and when in docked mode it feels like a classic Windows experience throughout. Tablet mode seems a tad retrograde from Windows 8 to me, but not very much, but should improve as Windows 10 is permanent work in progress. Should you get this? If your wallet isn't thick enough for a Surface but you're betting on the unified Windows Store being popular and value running legacy applications, then it seems a no-brainer. If you want something better honed to pure consumption I would recommend a mid-range Android tablet, or an iPad. Judging this tablet from a value-for-money perspective I think it deserves top marks. Corners have been cut of course, but not to overall detriment of experience.

3 Sterne gebe ich dafür das das gelieferte Tablet nicht den Abbildungen entspricht.Die abgebildeten 2 USB-Anschlüsse sind nicht vorhanden,ebenso befinden sich die Taster für Laut/Leise und PowerOn/Off nicht dort wie abgebildet,was aber für die Handhabung kein Problem darstellt.Das Laden des Tablets ist über den Mini-USB NICHT!!! möglich,nur mit dem mitgelieferten Netzteil mit Adapter. Mit dem Tablet bin ich aber sehr zufrieden,es ist weitaus besser als das vorher von mir verwendete Odys Win10 Tablet.Es lässt sich flüssig und lange damit arbeiten,nach 5h intensiver Nutzung mit Internet und Schreibprogramm werden 40%Akkukapazität angezeigt.Ein Arbeiten mit angeschlossenem Netzteil ist ebenso möglich. Es reagiert schnell und präzise bei Bildschirmberührung,die Lautsprecher geben einen guten Ton ab.Bluetooth funktioniert,verbindet sich schnell mit angebotenen Geräten(Kopfhörer,Tastatur/Maus,Bluetoothlautsprecher),allein bei Android-Handys verweigert es den Dienst-Verbindung wird als OK angezeigt ,jedoch gibt es eine Fehlermeldung beim Senden und Empfang von Bildern ect.Das war beim Odys und bei meinem Lumia 640 aber auch so,scheinbar ein generelles Windowsproblem(?) WLAN wird erkannt und die Verbindung bricht in Reichweite bis ca.5m ,auch in anderen Räumen nicht ab. Der Anschluß mittels Mini HDMI klappt ohne Probleme,jedoch muss am TV in den Bildschirmeinstellingen die passende Auflösung eingestellt werden,dann ist das Anschauen von Mediathekinhalten oder bspw. SKY GO ein Vergnügen. Als Speichererweiterung habe ich eine 32GB Micro-SD-Karte installiert die problemlos erkannt wurde.Als dauerhaften Datenspeicher verwende ich aber eine externe WD Elements Festplatte 2,5" 1TB. In der Handhabung ist es gut,aber es knarzt hin und wieder mal,rundrum aus Plastik sagt alles.Eine Schutzhülle werde ich mir noch beschaffen.

Mein Sohn hat das Tablett mit nach Australien mitgenommen, das Tablett ist zur Zeit unterweg zu uns nach Hause. Ich werde das dann weiter an den Lieferanten schicken und hoffe dass ich ein Ersatz oder eine Reparatur bekomme.
