I'm posting this here as much for comment as anything. I bought this little convertible last year for peanuts, Windows 10, SSD, enough RAM to do basics, touchscreen, and it was as cheap as chips. It had Windows Home on it, so I wiped it and put on Insider Preview, but it buggered up the touchscreen. Eventually I managed to find the Touchscreen drivers buried on their website and got it working again. I use it as a throwabout device in the office, take it to meetings to take notes, login to M365, that sort of shit.
Anyway, today they sent me this email. They are about to launch a cheap touchscreen 12" convertible, but I don't really need another computer.
The idea is that you buy it for the asking price and if you write a FIVE STAR review, they give you 50% off straight away to your Paypal account. If you write a stonking review, they will knock the price down to $99.
So I'm going to post it here, on balance if I did have a need for one, I'd probably go for it, in my dealings with support they seem less duplicitous than your average chinky and they drop me the odd email asking how the device is and so on (maybe they have some itinerant workers on their help desk).
I'm sure OhOh will be interested, and no-one could write better chinky brown-nosing than him, so maybe he can be the guinea pig.
The contact email is at the bottom.
P.S. the device I have is called the Philbook and it has been pretty reliable despite my attempts to fuck it up.
P.P.S. It's also got a spare SSD slot so you can whack a 1TB SSD in it if that's your bag.
P.P.P.S. It does specifically say I can share this with anyone as long as they are willing to write a review.
