Intel Atom Deals & Offers

I imagine GTA5 wil be coming to Google's Stadia cloud gaming platform so this stick probably would be able to run it yeah. Depending on WiFi quality.

I also had no idea that this was a thing, amazing really!

Would this thing be capable of running vcarve for a desktop CNC machine?

Probably ready to go but other freight has been a priority. I had an item declared lost by Hermes to a non-EU country. The minute their restrictions lifted, it arrived. DHL is currently 3 x normal cost per kg.

Great for multi media stuff . Even skygo works on this .

Some people suggested they've got Chuwi and they are not that great. Mixed reviews. I can't really tell you. At the time I wanted one I was looking at the cheapest available and reading reviews on line about it.

Suggestions for a chuwi purchase? WFH machine so need a keyboard

You said, "not the most powerful of the machines..." You should revised this to, " the most basics of the machines..." My last 10.1" for travelling was this same spec Atom x5 but has 64GB instead of 32GB storage, a new Acer Switch 2 in 1 from Argos eBay for £122 in mid-2018 Speed of the Atom is adequate, it is the 32GB that's the killer for general use, 32GB is adequate for essential use , I use another one 32GB Atom 2:1 10.1" dedicated for car engine diagnostics (via a USB ECU dongle) and viewing videos/ youtubes. This Refurbished Lenovo Miix 310- 10.1" Tablet with Keyboard Intel Atom x5 2GB RAM 32GB Win 10 is worth about £80 in grade C.

I completely agree with you. I used to take my IPad 1 mini on holidays. I've sold it now, was probably used 10 times, so in perfect condition but well outdated. I've got a cheap Lenovo tablet now, concluded there is no point to spend much, as will be ocassionaly used and certainly do not want to carry an expensive device with me. I guess this is why they don't do many high specs tablets, the majority does not use these devices as often as a phone or laptop.

With these specs I would hesitate paying this much for a brand new machine, being grade C refurbished this is rubbish!

You had me until it mentioned Atom

Mine won't update on windows update, or install some apps like HP print and programs, says error. Funny thing is it surfs the internet ok .

Battery on mine is fine too. Had it 3 Weeks now. No problems at all

Thanks both...will monitor more carefully in case I did something daft

Hey Mgk, mine came yesterday and battery has been fully charged by myself and has dropped by 9 percent in 2 hours, still saying 12 hours battery left 👀

Charged last night, and battery was still at 99% when I used this evening. I do shutdown when I have finished using though.

Has any one been able to get one of these to boot from the USB. After trial and error I pressed escape to get into the bios. After fiddling with different settings could not get it to boot. Back booting into windows. These used to be simple to change so any advice appreciated?

Thanks I tried it then opened a returns ticket because it didn't work and then when resetting the laptop for return it died and won't turn on. Sent it back today.

I didn't end up buying but there's an option in Windows 10 to recalibrate touch screens.

Anyone elses touchscreen tap 3 inches above and 1 inch to the right of where they press? Everything else fine and mint but the touchscreen doesn't work.

Got mine delivered, and it's used and the micro usb socket looks somewhat wonky / loose. Looks alright apart from it, and of course it's so sloowww... and the keyboard can not folded back behind the tablet when not in use, meaning you will have to mind it separately when not in use. In two minds about keeping it at the moment.

If this thing had a stylus i'd buy in a heartbeat

Tablet arrived next day not 2days as suggested. Makes a nice change getting quicker delivery. Impressed so far. It's mostly metal case which feels (literally) and looks cool.

Found this on offer via TechRadar website and then found this post afterwards. I had ordered a tablet with docking keyboard on Aliexpress - with pretty much the same spec for £125 - however they took 2 days to say they can't supply it due to no stock of the keyboard and so I've cancelled the order. Factor in customs (they'd told me they declare $150) and a handling fee and this is probably neck and neck on price. Big difference is that this will arrive Friday. This got over 200deg when it was £199 - so heat is def added!

If it was 14 inches or bigger . My Samsung phone works excellent as small screen , can use it as computer as well with Samsung Dex.

I bought mine for travel/holidays & I'm extremely happy with it. As one other reviewer mentioned though, the charger is rubbish but I've just bought a few extra type-C cables & it can be charged using any USB plug adapter.

Just 2 secs to open Chromium on a RaspberryPi in 1Gb. That's £30. I suppose if you stuck a Linux distro on this Acer then it could become useful. But you wouldn't get your Windows Tax back. Pity no government has the guts to force unbundling into the PC market to give the punter a realistic choice.

Had one and returned it. These windows tables are sloooooow. But 2GB is no where near enough for a windows tablet. Yeah you can run office, but everything struggles. Took even 10 seconds to open Chrome. In the end I got a Lenovo Miix 320 with better spec (4GB RAM / 802.11AC wifi / USB3.1 type-C etc.. none of which this has) for less money £241. example https://www.uk.insight.com/en-gb/productinfo/laptops-and-notebooks/0007117110-00000001?gclid=CjwKCAjwlcXXBRBhEiwApfHGTSF82baNfxyIOREqVR2OwcXnGcmOJC57KU9SQwR3THfSPAtlNgUVihoCe3cQAvD_BwE

If anybody still cares. This is a chuwi hi10 Pro with the bundled clunky keyboard. It's cheaper to buy it on Amazon as separate items.

Thanx, lol.

value for money

What's VFM?.

Anyone know if this would play older games such as vice city, tiger woods 08, FIFA 08 on the highest settings?

Similar but different shower on Amazon , going by model number on photos. Not saying it’s any worse or better, just different.

Still a good deal mind you. Much more expensive elsewhere.

£169 on Amazon with free delivery: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mira-Showers-Shower-Diverter-Chrome/dp/B007LNP21G

John Lewis cold

Shouldn't be a problem. It's the same price at currys. So a decent deal and possibly price matched at most of anything rather than a "glitch"

Purchased one this morning :)

R we sure after this mornings fiasco

Thanks for sharing op.....

Which is best? This for £179 or the Linx 12X64 for £199? https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/linx-12x64-64gb-storage-4gb-ram-full-hd-125-2-in-1-laptop-179-wcode-ao-2901186?page=2#thread-comments

How does this compare to say, a Lenovo yoga 700? I have one of these and it’s a work horse.

One shows a keyboard, but in the description it states this: Notes: 1.The keyboard or stylus in the picture are not included in the package.

Lol! Wonder if you can play games what you don't like!!!! 8)

The marketing is amazing (:I You can play games what you like. Doesn't inspire with confidence TBH!!

Not the same spec at all

Any more impressions? Mine has these in stock

Just picked one up, first impressions are good. Decent 2in1 for the money. Heat added.

Yes, an extra 2 GB of RAM would be nice but is not necessary as this is only designed to be a tablet and or netbook. it also has a higher res screen than the linx and peraonally after purchasing one and using it for several hours i think its pretty good and woukd recommend to anyone who wants a cheap windows netbook

Or another option, slightly bigger screen, but lower specs + lower price: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/trekstor-surfbook-w1-fhd-intel-x5-z8300-141-laptop-12999-delivered-ebuyer-2900453

I'm torn on this as i desperately want a win10 tablet with decent specs such as this one, but I've been refraining from ordering a banggood or gearbest, as i've read a lot of horror stories regarding the high rate of faulty product, terrible CS and such... Though i'm thinking for this kind of price it may be worth the risk? :S

Was tempted but il pass. Kids got the Hi8 which i liked and for the use she gets out of it, its lasted really well, even the battery hasnt went to hell. Shes got the keyboard/case on it as well, but tbh usually just on youtube so not really needed.Does good still and only had 2Gb ram, but common faults put me off, mustv been lucky the first time

Obligatory warning: Gearbest have an issue with warehouse staff stealing items from packages, so if you do buy this, make sure you do so with a credit card, and be sure to inspect the parcel before accepting it. If you're another victim of Gearbest's thieves, don't expect Gearbest to help you until you call them out publicly on these forums.

got one of these for the wife last August and it has not missed a beat, managed to get the proper keyboard addon for it also which does make it a bit easier to use.

So it does, my mistake!

A few of those reviews seem to be for a different device (amlogic cpu?, Google play? These are not for a windows device)

Thought by the name it picked up Sky broadcast...

Looks OK for the price but it has a lot of poor reviews for hardware and support.

I guess this is not a bad price, but it is a Cherry Trail and about 40% slower than an Apollo Lake model which will be about 40 quid extra. The Gemini Lakes will be out very shortly so some hefty discounts now available on the Cherry Trails. Still heated for the price.

UK-serviced delivery and warranty obligations via S75 direct credit card payment to merchant should satisfy the majority of the concerns except "change of mind" returns. If I was looking for such a device I would be OK with this item from this merchant; certainly a competitive price for the specs.

Some of us cannot afford a better brand. And this is my Christmas present to myself and I'm looking forward to it's arrival :)

What possible use is 64Gb of ROM (horror)

ive never had a problem with anything I have ordered from Gearbest. Everything has arrived on time and is still working. I can say the same about stuff from Banggood as well. If someone wants to take a punt and is willing to take the risk then that is their choice

2 more children for the mute pile. Ever growing.

Grow up bell ends do you realise folk are here to read about the deal and not your awful craic. Get a room.

U wot m9-1

This argument belongs in misc.

But really with a good network chipset you don't need the extra expense. It's all too frequent in my experience with these windows tablet and boxes from China and even big brands too with wifi chipset problems.

Thanks OP. Heat added for the spot and a decent price, but I'm also sceptical about that 2GB. The search continues...

Cenovo mini PC is better. Got it for less than £60 few years back and have it for over 2 years, still works pretty well. It has similar spec to this (2GB ram 32GB storage) but even better it can dual boot android <-> Win10 rather than Win10 <-> Linux. Can even play games as well, GTA San andreas and Vice City on windows work just exactly like 10 years ago. Edit: I think Cenovo mini PC production is dead. https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_187681.html

It has ethernet and an internal USB (to add WiFi) so options to maintain a good connection.

If it's 64bit and 4GB RAM no question but 2GB I've got a z8300 and that has 4GB I believe and it's good enough it's more down to the wireless chipset if you plan to stream.

32gb of storage is also useless under w10 as it will take about 22gb , add in the android stuff and only a few gbs left..

It was probably better to have missed this, as the Teclast X80 Pro is very similar but has of course a screen and battery and still has HDMI out. Hopefully however tomorrorow maybe these will repeat.

Uhhhh... just saw this deal now and its expired! ;(

If you use Windows you will be using Windows. If you use android you will be using android. (ninja)

So would sky Go be Worthing through windows and internet explorer or through android ?

Heres a review........ http://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-on-the-linx-12x64-is-a-cut-above-most-entry-level-2-in-1-windows-machines/ Ive ordered one, be fine for office, netflix, internet. All I need.

Kind of router is in action ?

It's not touch screen unfortunately. There really aren't any good touchscreen 2-1 convertible devices at this £200 price point. Have a look at the Dell convertibles that were posted on there recently. I think they were about £350 or so. This Linx here is cheap only because it's rubbish (and unreliable). Maybe something like this - you may find it cheaper elsewhere: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-13-5000-13-3-2-in-1-grey-10166092-pdt.html

Many thanks for the reply. Is there a similar touchscreen one? I currently have a tablet and find it much easier than a non touchscreen.

Ezbook 3 Pro

I know what a car is - but I also know they aren't all the same.

True, as he/she didn't state her uses in the question. So I gave 1 use case for him/her to consider.

Not really. Most people know what a Chromebook is or can least look it up.

Could you recommend something better around the £250 mark, that has a touchscreen?

No doubt you're trying to help but without knowing what he's got your comments are pointless.
