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S3 costs £579, but the company will be waiting a long time before I waste that kind of cash on technology that will be out of date by this time next year.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 little product. Battery life is very good and handles multiple files without loosing speed. Bought specifically to run OSDB11 wireless software for vehicles diagnostics and this is superb.

Amazing for the money and arrived very quickly. It looks good, works perfectly and is responsive. I ordered a "refurbished" model but it was in absolutely pristine condition. I wouldn't hesitate to use the seller or buy refurbished again. It's a lovely machine and more like a mini PC so bear this in mind if you are used to Android tablets. You can install DroidX which is an Android emulator if you MUST have android apps on there but not all will be compatible. However, it is perfect for my needs, it connects to my home network and cloud drives seamlessly. It also works with a capacitive stylus and I would recommend a screen protector made for the Linx 1010. I am looking forward to adding the keyboard and an SD card sometime in the future.

This is a value for money pad but in reality it is more of a laptop and I would not consider it without the keyboard attachment. I think the wifi receiver is a bit weak as it often drops out when things like my phone don't.Not a bad purchase.

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.

Look again. As usual I obviously didn't look at this properly for I have the same thing but smaller version. For some reason when this first came up it included the keyboard and cover. Wrong, this is a 10" same as any other, so it will probably go back. And if I had not almost been rude to the post person none of this would have arrived at all. Nothing going to Oxgate Garden goes there according to the van. Of course it does, they drop it and disappear but the staff don't know that, so you could wait weeks for anything to arrive. Poor man was running down the road after me, as this had happened before. Now how can you pick up a package when the tracking still stays, Oxgate, North London, Cricklewood, somewhere else and the world. Digitilly something is very wrong. I am sure it work as it should otherwise. Seems a bit heavier than the usual ones.
