    This is just so cheap. Unbelievable.

    I really can't justify it because just a month ago I sold my 15.6" laptop and Galaxy 7.7 tab and bought an Asus 11.6" laptop so that I had less devices for a 12 month holiday. Now I am so tempted for $42. SO TEMPTED!

  • scampy on 27/06/2015 - 07:46

    Would this run Foxtel play? I had a Pendo windows tablet from Coles and it just wasn't powerful enough.

    • SnowDragon on 27/06/2015 - 16:40

      it says it's compatible with XP and IE8 and above. It runs in a browser so it should be fine. Strange the pendo didnt run it.

  • miruki on 27/06/2015 - 07:48

    Thanks Op.
    Just ordered 7" one for pickup from HN @ DM North Ryde. Cheaper than Office 365 Personal subscription!

  • CyberGenesys on 27/06/2015 - 08:23

    Apart from the very low resolution screen (it's natively something like 1024 x768 but set to 1200x800) I have had two issues; a stuck blue pixel and the inability to mirror to an external screen in a useful manner. It would only make a small square in the centre of the screen.

    • Jackson on 27/06/2015 - 15:54

      When you say mirror do you mean using the hdmi?

      • bargaino on 27/06/2015 - 16:12

        I think he means it will not scale up the 1280x800 to fullscreen 720p or 1080i out.
        Not sure why you'd want that. Full-HD on external-only works fine.

        • CyberGenesys on 28/06/2015 - 13:36

          Setting it to external only would require me to connect a keyboard and mouse since the touch screen would not be usable for those inputs.

        • bargaino on 28/06/2015 - 13:49

          @CyberGenesys:
          Its just a windows software problem. The hardware is quite capable of doing what you want, but you can't find it in the Windows GUI.
          I doubt any other win8.1 tablet will be different.
          You need to google and gets your hands dirty on the command line or registry editor.

        • CyberGenesys on 28/06/2015 - 15:16

          @manic: Google is currently telling me that running duplicated displays will always limit the resolution of both screens to that of the lowest screen. This is what I am experiencing and what should be expected, after all Clone/duplicate should result in an identical reproduction on both screens including identical resolutions. There are suggestions of 3rd party applications like display fusion or UltraMon but nothing as simple as a registry hack or CLI command. Care to shed a little more light on your solution?

        • bargaino on 28/06/2015 - 18:09

          @CyberGenesys:
          I thought I saw something. there is a registry setting to enable downscaling. The unisurf already does that for 1280x800->1024x600, you just want the same but more. Might have a play when my hardware arrives.

        • CyberGenesys on 28/06/2015 - 18:41

          @manic: No probs, please let us know if you find a simple solution that doesn't require 3rd party applications. I think you mean upscaling? The unisurf is natively 1024x600 (or abouts) and upscales to 1280x800.

      • CyberGenesys on 27/06/2015 - 16:13

        Yeah, sorry. So when connected to a hdmi monitor via a mini hdmi to hdmi cable the image was 1280x800 on both screens with the external screen with black bars around the image. There seemed to be no option to scale to fit on the external monitor.

    • No on 27/06/2015 - 08:44

      No… It's far better than the 7"
      And has a separate power jack instead of shared micro usb.

      • Shonky on 27/06/2015 - 08:51

        Thanks. So it can't be charged via USB?

          +1

          Yes, it can't be charged through usb. Bad thing about that would be you can't use power banks to charge. Good thing is you can charge and connect usb devices simultaneously…..
          Which is not possible with the 7" based on previous post….

  • No on 27/06/2015 - 08:59

      It's an okay device if you want full windows and plan to use it on a monitor. It's almost unusable in portrait mode. The viewing angle are that bad, it's almost like looking into a mirror. It's really tempting at this price but I would spend a bit more and get something more usable. The resolution needs to be dropped to make desktop mode usable (otherwise it's very small) and that disables app mode.
      I bought a bunch for family but regretted it.

        • pointnlarf on 28/06/2015 - 17:10

          Is there a way of doing off the device as I was planning on not opening and giving it away

        • [Deactivated] on 28/06/2015 - 20:27

          @pointnlarf: I'd suggest you open it and check as I got a returned unit in a sealed box. It even had the incorrect cables.
          I think the key for office is built in to the tablet anyway.

        • grab_ur_freebies on 29/06/2015 - 04:24

          @poop:
          Sealed as in shrinkwrapped? I thought they came from the factory that way? The two I got were wrapped in clear plastic.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/06/2015 - 09:34

          @grab_ur_freebies: yep shrink wrapped! Both of mine looked identical and sealed in shrink wrap. One was new with a screen protector. The other was missing this and had two chargers. Also had scrathes on the back. Looked like a repack from the factory?

        • bargaino on 29/06/2015 - 10:38

          @pointnlarf:

          No, the code used for activation is embedded in the tablet.
          You need to log in to your microsoft account using the tablet, and activate office there. Then you can do a factory reset.
          You can install office 365 on another device to get the screenshots for the rebate claim.

    • udyz on 27/06/2015 - 13:26

      Get 8" if you have to pay more! A add trend to bring the total to $150 and get $25 off

    • bargaino on 27/06/2015 - 11:20

      The Intel GPU is good. It should be more than capable as a HTPC. But did you especially want Windows to host Kodi?
      You might be better off with an Openelec solution, which may be possible on this, but not easy.

      • msmhw on 27/06/2015 - 11:29

        not really must be windows, I was thinking to get raspberry pi 2 but the cost of this tablet is smiler to raspberry pi 2 and I can take advantage of it with other uses.

    Purchased 2 x 8" for $169 with the $25 voucher (signing up to their newsletter).

    After claiming cash back on both devices, they come down to $59.50 each.

    • msmhw on 27/06/2015 - 11:32

      you should buy one in a transaction with 3x Trend Micro security. This way you will end paying $47 for each one after the cashback and have 3x 8gb micro sd.

      • Bargainaholic on 27/06/2015 - 12:39

        The maximum trend micro you can purchase in one transaction now been reduced to 2, which brings the total to only $137.
        I didn't want to buy any junk to get it over $150.

        • Shobai on 28/06/2015 - 07:51

          Just in case anyone hasn't seen the other 8" Unisurf thread, the limitation on HN's webstore is 2 Trend Micro Security per line. You can add multiple lines by using, for example, Chrome's Incognito mode - I had to be logged into my HN account for it to work, but YMMV.

  • No on 27/06/2015 - 11:18

    I just rang the store and asked them if they can get it ready for me now. They say they don't have stock so would have to get one in for me, doesn't sound good. This is the Cannington WA store.

    As in previous thread:

    • the 7"is useless because the display is awful, and too few pixels for Windows.

    • you cannot easily use it as a desktop because it will not charge while using USB OTG.

    • The 8"is better as it has an acceptable display, and separate charge input, so can be used as tablet, desktop, or HTPC.

    • many people (incl. me) have reported wifi problems. A USB wifi or ethernet dongle may solve that.

    • 1GB RAM and 16GB flash is not much for windows, so be realistic in expectations.
    • snvl on 27/06/2015 - 13:28

    • Jackson on 28/06/2015 - 00:10

      I actually find 8" better for reading documents (mainly because the screen ratio is more suited to reading documents. 7" can be a bit small but if what your reading reflect the text it's fine, it's mainly when you have a pdf that you want at least 8" IMO

      In this case though the 8" as a screen that absolutely poops all over the 7"

    • jonathonsunshine on 27/06/2015 - 18:52

      It's only Wireless N, so I'm guessing top speed about 5Mbits, consider though that it has to charge through the usb port as well, so it's not something you can just leave running over night…

      • Shonky on 27/06/2015 - 19:32

        Wireless N is much faster the 5 Mbit/s and should be much better than that even on a bad implementation. 802.11g should even get you 10-20 Mbit/s
