That actually rivals the nexus 7 (2013) version very well and is cheaper. The only advantage the nexus 7 has is a higher ppi display and guaranteed future updates (Android L) and even then someone could port Android L and put it on this. That's the good thing with android devices.
SD cards are protected by all sorts of patents and there is a license fee to use it. ISTR that going above 32GB needs a more expensive license.
I think it may just be due to costs - SDHC cards top out at 32Gb, whereas you need an SDXC compatible card and reader to go to a higher capacity:

Thanks, that is an interesting link. So the extra license for SDXC cards is an exFAT license from Microsoft, and if you reformat a 64GB card for vFAT then it works fine in my Moto G. I didn't know that, if my 32GB card fills up, I have a plan B now
Ill probs get one
Tesco's venture in the electronics market seems a bit surreal.
i Bought one this morning for our oldest girls birthday tomorrow
Hudl plus case and screen protectors for less than a 7" Samsung Tab 4... and that was before the £30 from the double club card voucher offer. Works for me!
I'm tempted to get one for myself, I could really do with a tablet and 8" is about perfect for me I think. The galaxy Tab S would be amazing, but it's twice the price of the Hudl. Twice as good? I doubt it.
Looks interesting, though I'll stick with my 10.1" Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for now (also atom based, though dual core I think).
There are methods of getting Linux onto devices in place of Android, but whether they'd work on this depends on what Tesco have done with the bootloader and other things (if its locked etc).
Desktop MSI B550M Mortar, Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4 3200, 1Tb NVMe SSD, 2x480GB SATA SSD, 4Tb + 2x2Tb HDD, 3x monitors, Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Server MSI Z170A Gaming M7, Intel i7-6700K, 16Gb DDR 2400, 120Gb SATA SSD, 1Tb WD Black HDD, 4x 4Tb HDD in RAID5
Well having played around with the Hudl2, I think I would like one. Our girl is really pleased with it and I think she likes it more than an equivalent Samsung. 12 year old girls can be like that.
I think 8" really is the right size for this too. would be perfect for doing the online parts of my OU degree while working through the books. Would work for studying in bed too
Got one yesterday for grandparents - it's brilliant. Really quick and very well priced!

Going to pick mine up now
Tesco have done very well here I think. Great choice for parts. Had they have gone Snapdragon route it'd most likely be the 400 in it which is no good these days.

Ive been very impressed by the performance. The only downside to the tablet i have noticed so far is the battery life, everything else is what i would class as above average, with the price taken into account i think its exceptional.
I discovered that the SD card out of my old tablet doesn't work as a straight swap into the Hudl2. Do you have to use FAT32 or can you get away with NTFS?
4GB file size limit is a pain as it means transcoding some films to put on here.
You can probably format it for ext2 as long as you don't want to directly access it from a Windows PC.
