Thread: Windows/Android tablet/notebook combo. Thingio.

I've 2 main PC's in my house and in my condo. Both used as PC and media centers connected to TV's and sound system.

An old notebook and Tablet for when traveling.

I'd like to upgrade this.

I'm interested in one of those Windows notebook things that the screen comes off and you can then use it as a tablet. (runs Windows or Android when used as a tablet)


Or could just go for a new tablet.

Any knowledge on those notebook/tablet combo things?

cheers-io.

I have 2....A Microsoft Surface pro 1 and a HP. I'll check the model on the HP when I get back.

Both are on Windows 10 and both just sit around doing nothing as I normally use my phone or laptop or android box.

I could flog-io you one if you want

Sure. Just delete the sheep porn first, cheers.

What do you do, just pop off the screen and it becomes a tablet, presumably.


Can get the same apps for Win 10 as you can for android? For example, is there a similar version of Google Play for Windows tablets as there is for Android?

Cheers. (Open questions, not just for Daffodil)

This is the only one. At least I think it is one. On Invadeit.

Buy Acer Aspire One 10 (WiFi) S1002-12Q2 Intel Atom Z3735F/2GB DDR3/32GB+500GB/10.1" IPS/Win 10 - invadeit.co.th

That's cheap, but it has got a shitty Intel Atom processor. The HP I have was I think 18,000 baht last year, I'm not sure what processor is in it but it doesn't seem any slower than the Surface pro which has an i5 in it.

Windows store is Windows App Store, but it has nowhere near as many apps as Android or Apple, but what you are getting is a proper tablet computer, not an enlarged Android phone.

Cheers.

Very good tablet-laptop convertible 72%

LAUNCHED 07 JANUARY 2013TESTED 28 OCTOBER 2013

The HP Slatebook 10 x2 is a tablet which thinks it's a laptop, thanks to the detachable keyboard. The keyboard is easier to use than typing on screen, but does the Slatebook have the necessary processor power and battery life to make a good tablet-laptop combo? We ran it through our full test programme to find out.

PROS Detachable keyboard, fast processor, clear and bright screen, lots of ports.

CONS Heavy and bulky with keyboard attached, battery life of tablet alone is poor, not a laptop replacement

Although this tablet was at the top of its game when we tested it, new releases have now superseded it. We have updated the way that we test and evaluate tablets to reflect the latest developments in the market and under our new evaluation; this tablet is no longer a Best Buy. The Slatebook is a great Android tablet - the detachable keyboard gives the battery life a boost and makes typing a lot easier than using the onscreen keyboard. However, this is no replacement for a laptop.

What is it?

The Slatebook is a 10-inch tablet running Google's Android operating system. It comes with a detachable keyboard which contains an additional battery pack.

What's it like to use?

The high-resolution 1,920x1,200-pixel screen is crisp and sharp - great for watching films.

The Slatebook's 1.8GHz processor is very fast for a tablet, making for smooth video streaming and fluid web browsing. It also has enough power for simple work tasks such as word processing and email. And it took less than one minute to copy 500MB of data -so it shouldn't keep you waiting around.

Although the keys on the keyboard are a little cramped, it is still pleasant to use - which is good news for anyone who doesn't like typing on a touchscreen. And it's quick and easy to attach and detach the keyboard - so there's no fiddling around.
It has lots of useful connection ports, including a USB port, full SD card slot for transferring files and expanding the memory, and an HDMI output so that you can hook it up to a bigger screen, such as your TV.

The stereo speakers produce good sound - which is quite unusual for a tablet.
The build quality is tank-like - it feels sturdy, if a little chunky.

What's the battery life like?

Without the keyboard, you'll get around four and a half hours of video playback, or just under five hours of wi-fi web browsing. This is a little below average for a premium-priced tablet of this size. But add the keyboard which contains an additional battery and it should keep going for much longer. You'll get around 11 and a half hours of video playback or 12 hours of wi-fi web browsing. This doesn't quite live up to the likes of the iPad, but will still see you through a working day on one charge.

Is there anything I should watch out for?

When you have the keyboard attached, it's a heavy and bulky piece of kit, weighing in at 1.264kg. It's also not as stylish as the likes of the iPad or Sony Xperia Z tablet.

Is there anything else I should know?

At the time of testing it was running Android 4.2.2, which isn't the latest version of Android. However, there might be an upgrade coming down the line soon.

Should I buy it?

This is a good tablet - the keyboard makes it more useful for work tasks than your average tablet. However, it isn't a replacement for your laptop - so if you're after one main computing device, this probably won't do the job.

You'd actually want Dilly to mince his way up to Surat for you??? On the pretense of buying a cheap tablet?

Chas, mate, what has gone wrong in your life? Come on, you're amongst friends here, you can spill the beans...

Just need something more portable than me. At that price if it's shit I can give it to GF to play with.

No it's the 2014 model, about a year old. They come out every autumn I think. The latest one came out last September.

I will even throw in a bottle of alcoholic jizz remover and a Bettyboo style mini man bag.




Just realised I've set the date wrong.

Dell XPS 13

Dell XPS 13 review: The best Windows laptop just got better | The Verge

Do we have any advances on 5k, a beer and a gobble?

I am happy with 5k, I'll buy the beers but I don't need a gobble thanks.

I got the Acer 10 /1 .
Works very well as a PC or tablet. 500gb HD is in the kb and its well stuck wit strong magnets.


I can run any fokkin thing on it , even with the so called shit processor.
It's heavy tho.

This ones quite thin

That's it on the left compared to the surface pro on the right

You want one of these (but an up to date one that can run Win 10 and Android 5.x)

Or just buy a Win 10/Android tablet and a Micro USB keyboard.

I'm really just looking for something to travel with, and use as a go between my house computer and my condo computer, instead of an Ext. HDD.

They seem to have low storage space.

Not many about, in Powerbuy:





Cheap, obviously, but only 64GB space.

Get one with a MicroSD slot.
