As has been said many times before in many places ... 32GB for a full fat Windows install leaves very little onboard storage. This needs to really be a minimum of 64GB, ideally 128GB.
True but it does have a micro SD card slot which will help matters not to mention the micro USB port. Although I'd still rather have a new Nexus as a tablet and a laptop for more productive tasks - just so much easier having the extra storage and power of a lappy coupled with better connectivity.Quote:

£200 - £250 for this and one will be in my bag to work each day.
Apart from the awful design and slightly low storage, this is great value, the nexus 7 32GB is only a slight bit cheaper, although 1080p would have been nice. Specs are solid though, I wonder how the quad core bay trail would perform in games
Still just seems a little too late....like WP8
A 10" for £300-£350 and I'd be in like a shot, even if it lacks the horsepower to run 'serious' software. The applications I want to run on such a device are not too demanding, but they are native Windows. So RT was always completely useless to me.
I might even be tempted by this, eventually, if nothing else grabs my attention. It's clearly going top be a compromise in terms of weight & performance, given Win8's demands, but I can probably live with that.
I wonder too, it could be quite interesting as not only does the Bay Trail have a quad core Atom it has the GPU of an Ivy Bridge.Quote:

Take a look at the Dell Outlet for the Latitude 10. Plenty of stock, prices from £227 inc VAT and up depending on the configuration you go for - 32/64/128gb storage Wifi/Wifi+3G, 2 cell (10 hour) or 4 cell (20 hour) battery, Win 8 or Win 8 Pro etc. I got a fully loaded 128GB, 3G, 4 Cell Win 8 Pro for £300 delivered a month and a bit a go - it's an absolute bargain, and the Atom processor is actually pretty darn good. Has a full-sized USB and SD card slot for extra storage too, nothing to fault it really :)Quote:

I liked it.
£250 is a price that people will buy into - this is what Windows needs - good value devices.Quote:
