Intel Atom Deals & Offers

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

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.

https://www.investmentweek.co.uk/investment-week/news/3020209/bank-of-england-raises-rates-to-05-for-first-time-in-decade There may just be 2 in the next 3 years. If i had cash I didn't mind locked away, I'd go for this deal now.

Its great to see Atom raising their rates, but I think I'll wait for further interest rises before shifting any money about.

... If you're earning 2% on the lot. If you're getting 3-5% on the best accounts out there that £500 disappears much quicker!

£500 tax free though so only an issue if you have savings over 25k

It's worth noting that if you're a 40% taxpayer, consider your options. After tax this would be 1.17% AER - which is not any better than an ISA which won't lock you in.

Price now £399

Had one since launch , ace bit of kit. The Halo keyboard, however, is absolutely not for those typing beyond anything beyond a few hundred words no matter how adept you become.

Micro usb and micro HDMI as per the deal page....

Back in stock.... Edit....17.30...OOS

May be full shipping weight of package as bought?

Thanks Reddit. That's helpful.

It's Beelink,which invariably means quality issues and poor support. The 5v AC is also under powered for this box, which will likely mean issues if you populate all the USB ports. The Chuwi Hibox is a better bet because of it's 12v AC. As a general spec of box, it does a great job when it comes to media playback and streaming when using Kodi but go for the 64Gb models as 32 can get very tight, especially when applying Windows updates.

Offer received yesterday. Have to say everything has been really straight forward. Had to use the app to accept. All down to the legal people now to complete in feb but I've had a simple job in remortgaging with atom. Also thanks to OP for pointing me in this direction as you cant get atom rate on comparison sites. Also avoid sainsbury I was initially trying them and the 2wk before a call back meant any deal is likely to have gone which is what happened to me first.

I think it has changed. Lucky as my application is already on going I managed to get this rate.

Spoke to a 2nd broker - same deal, 1.29%. Guessing it's too late to get above headline rates.

Hi folks, Anyone apply in the last few days? I'm being offered 1.29% with a 900 fee! I mentioned this thread and he said the rates have recently changed. Should I believe this?

Just currently going through an application for this. So thanks OP. Fantastic rate. Not sure what the best atom rate is currently as they don't advertise them

I'd be interested to know.that too?. I have the same LINX 10, Windows 10 Tablet (but the 16GB version, and NOT the OP's 32GB version). Mine didn't come with the Keyboard at the time though?. But either still, I luvvvvvvvvvvv it!. :-)

Why is this cold?
