    Any feedback on performance?

      Great performance! The 2GB ram, which sounds small, doesn't limit it at all. Can have a couple of YouTube tabs open, Spotify running, couple of word and powerpoint docs open and still have free ram. Very snappy as well. Don't expect too much from the atom processor though as far as number crunching… But in everyday use, it's great.

  • paulaus on 11/05/2015 - 10:28

    Is it really worth over double the price of the coles pendo pad.

    • tonyjzx on 11/05/2015 - 11:25

      quality costs

      also this lacks a hdmi which transforms the pendo into something useful

      The selling point is the Wacom digitizer - pressure sensitive stylus.

      This is by far the cheapest tablet you can actually use for digital artwork.

      If you have a teenager that's a bit artistically inclined, this will be much better than an iPad Mini at half the price.

        Also great for the office for note taking in Microsoft Onenote. Or you can scribble on PowerPoint slides or PDFs. A capacitive stylus doesn't compare.

        Tax deductible too!

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 13:24

          Personally recommend Drawboard PDF if you want to write notes on PDF. Onenote can be clunky and resource demanding and to share that note with someone, it's easier to do that with a PDF file.

      • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 13:26

        My brother had this. If you break the stylus that came with the tablet, you can use stylus from Surface Pro 1 series or Galaxy Note series.

    • donnot on 11/05/2015 - 18:04

      Also has double the ram and storage…1GB ram is extremely limiting…

  • someones1 on 11/05/2015 - 13:52

    Have a very similar tablet — most of these are based on the same reference design so outside of external build quality and screen quality, there's not a huge amount of difference with the internals. Ones with 2gb RAM can run N64 emulators and some not-too-intensive games with no problem — there's Youtube videos of people playing WoW at acceptable framerates, for example, and others. Spartan Assault runs great. Of course you would either need Bluetooth mouse/keyboard or a USB-OTG cable and a hub to plug them in to use it this way.

    I really enjoy mine. I'm usually in the Apple ecosystem but the flexibility and price of these Windows tablets just blows an iPad out of the water in my book. I also (gasp) really like the Windows 8.1 interface on a tablet — I find it pretty intuitive.

    The big thing this one is missing is an acceptable form of physical video out. I do think all Windows tablets natively support Miracast (video-out over wifi) but you have to have something that can accept Miracast on the other end of course.

    Don't think that this is the same crappy Atom processor that was in netbooks a few years back where you could barely have two tabs open at once. These are quad-core Atoms with fairly decent integrated video for the size that actually do pretty well.

    The holy grail of these is one with micro-USB for charging, a full-size USB port, mini-HDMI out, and the microSD expansion. In the US the only one I've run across like this is sold by MicroCenter (not shipping these currently unfortunately; only in-store pickup). Haven't seen one in Oz yet.

    • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 14:00

      You are referring to TW801 right? Yeah, I want to see them selling those here in Australia as well.
      I think the only way to get something similar in terms of spec is by going for those Chinese tablets, but I never have been able to justify the risk (even though the price was amazing) to myself.

      • someones1 on 11/05/2015 - 15:39

        My tablet is the TW801, yes. The screen isn't very good with touch (apparently the new TW802 is far more responsive), but having all of those ports is so so nice.

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 15:41

          I've heard that TW802 has USB 2.0 though (and performs worse under heat).

        • someones1 on 11/05/2015 - 15:45

          @AznMitch: I've also heard that the eMMC / system bus can't even handle USB3 speeds so it doesn't matter. There was also an argument about the thermal ratings of the different processors — some seem to think that the processor in the 802, which is clocked pretty much the same as the one in the 801 — will underclock sooner to maintain its lower thermal ceiling. Others said that the processor in the 802 is a bit more efficient so it should offer similar performance at a lower temp anyway. Haven't really seen anything conclusive.

          Meh.

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 16:08

          @someones1: But doesn't USB 3.0 allow more power from the device? That's what I thought it did. Anyways, I am still very jealous, you'd not get anything like that here, unless you risk DOA :(

        • someones1 on 11/05/2015 - 16:15

          @AznMitch: Yeah I guess it technically does. But realistically, what are you going to use with a tablet that needs that much juice? Are you going to charge another tablet with a tablet? Most portable hard drives can run on 500mA that USB2 provides.

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 16:20

          @someones1: I was thinking portable hard drives with other peripherals like a keyboard and a mouse, along with stability issues (since usb 3.0 can provide more power) but I think what you said is true.

        • someones1 on 11/05/2015 - 16:46

          @AznMitch: I'd probably just prefer Bluetooth for the peripherals. I have a TextBlade on order to use with it (check it out — https://waytools.com). I'm a backpacker and oddly enough I find a 7-8" Windows tablet to be the perfect travel computer, and hopefully the Textblade will be the perfect travel keyboard.

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 16:47

          @someones1: I've seen those, it looked amazingly compact and light. :)

    The Wacom is what makes this awesome value.

    Would be great if you could connect it to a PC and use it just as a stylus input.. but it'll never happen since it would gut their overpriced Cintiq line.

  • Saved Shopper on 11/05/2015 - 15:46

    Can anyone confirm you can connect it to a PC and use it just as a stylus input?

  • douglasac10 on 11/05/2015 - 19:46

    I have the 64GB version, great tablet and highly recommended, only real downside is the elongated toothpick that they call a stylus. If you're going to spend any extended amount of time using it you may want something a bit thicker and easier to hold - I ended up getting the Surface Pro Pen which works well and has the eraser on it, however you can use any Wacom feel compatible pen (e.g. the Bamboo Feel from Wacom)

    • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 22:03

      Bamboo Feel feels better in terms of writing, but doesn't have the eraser :(

      • douglasac10 on 11/05/2015 - 22:49

        Also pretty pricey, which is why I went for the Surface pen instead which was about $15 cheaper.

        • iridiumstem on 11/05/2015 - 23:41

          True, they are slightly pricey. Though I am not sure where to get the Surface Pro pen. I think Galaxy Note S-pen is an option as well as Lenovo ThinkPad 10 pen (though from their online store I believe).

    • 0 0 0 on 11/05/2015 - 22:20

      I presume that you can also use the Montblanc Pix or Montblanc e-Starwalker on this too given that it is a Wacom stylus :) Feels like a real pen when writing with it

      • douglasac10 on 11/05/2015 - 22:48

        So long as they're Wacom Feel compatible I see no reason why not.

    Looks like the price has been changed, the price is now $275.95 for me.
