Windows 10/Android 8" Dual Boot Tablet -- $92

rcentros · 09-27-2015, 06:41 AM

I never saw one of these before -- maybe everyone else knows about them already? Supposedly a very bright screen (1200x1920) and a good build.

(It looks like you can also have it shipped from a U.S. warehouse for $11 more.)

Several reviews of these on YouTube. I think they come with Windows 10 now, some folks were showing how to upgrade from Windows 8.1, but I think that was from an earlier time.

The high resolution, high quality screen might make it a good reading machine, especially for those who like tablets for reading.

This is the one that I got recently from Tinydeal.com, shipped free from China to NC in 2 weeks. Lesser screen specs and Win 8.1 rather than 10 but I am happy with it. Cheapo tablet to run around with and not worry about damage/loss, runs both OS's smoothly and takes a 128GB MicroSD card, has mini HDMI port and can also "cast" the screen to Roku 3 and other wireless displays. Only problem is some parts of the screen are unresponsive to touch, so when typing on the keyboard I turn it 90 degrees to type in a part that is touch-responsive. Full Google Play Store, and full Windows! Case cost me an extra $6.

And for those with the Chuwi tablet, Tinydeal has instructions to upgrade to Windows 10 here.

and there are also instructions on the website to change the Chinese language (tablet comes with that as default) to English - or any other supported language.

I am very pleased with mine as an addition to my tablet collection of Kindle Fire HD 7 and HD 8.9; so much so that I sold my iPad and iPad Mini and have come out way ahead on cash! I am running Overdrive Console, Moon Reader+, Kobo, Audible and Kindle Apps with a 128GB memory card and that's everything I need.
