I've found a fantastic travel tablet / netbook - Linx 1010
 

I came across this as I was looking for a travel computer solution and after reading all the reviews, for the insane cheap price , I bought it.

The Linx 1010 with Keyboard.

So check this out.

Linx 1010 32GB with Keyboard and Antivirus - Ebuyer

It's a 10" touchscreen tablet with FULL windows 10 so you can run Garmin products etc

It has a removable keyboard which is actually really nice to type on.
It has 2 x Full size USB ports with one USB 3.0
It has a Solid state 32GB hard drive and will take a MicroSD card upto 128GB
Battery lasts for ages and screen is good enough for watching films, youtube etc.

The speaker is a bit rubbish as is the camera but who cares. It has an earphone socket.

It's small and lighter than a netbook. And the price !! £130.. So so cheap.

Hard to go wrong... I've had mine two weeks and it's been great.

Thanks for the tip! I think I´ll need to find out, if they offer a version with larger disk space though, as I´ll want to back up photos, and 32 Gb´s is kinda small-ish for that.. otherwise it looks quite tempting, esp. the price!

If it takes the these >100gb sd cards (fast ons will double the price of the tablet) its actually quite nice idea even the Ram Memory is to small for video cutting. Amazing how fast the prices of computers are dropping. Have fun with it as i do have with my samsung series 5 128SSD 8GB one jear ago for 300€ on ebay :-)

It's got a micro SD card slot. You can buy 64GB cards for £15. Just swap them out when full. The cards are tiny.

With Windows 10, you can easily make it save all pics, vids to the SD by default.

Yes to save pics without the risc of breaking a mechanikel harddrive they are fine but to install and run programs from the cheap ons are way to slow...

I guess it depends on what you're doing. If you want to do a lot of video editing and other such things then you might need to look elsewhere.

For everything else though, I think it's more than enough.

It's called deflation and it is worldwide at present.
Next year, the product will be cheaper.

My wifey has one of them Windoze tablet things "surface" (first version) and she can't even install Chrome on it. Apparently you need to shell out if you want to install extra programs on it.
I kinda like the look and price of that Linx thingy but would we run into the same trap here ?
I've got a trusty 8 or so years old lappy on Winders 7 running with which I hardly ever have any problems, but I can't see me that carrying around on a trip where everything extra is extra weight and bother so what would be smart for us to get ?
Any advise from the collective please ?
We don't need to edit videos, we just want a reliable piece of equipment to surf the web and write a few articles/emails and such and change the maps for the Garmins.

Cheers, Ard

No.. It's a full version win10 tablet. It's like having a good old fashioned pc in a format you can travel with. No cons, no traps .. Just enjoy.

No its calles evolution of the technik. Deflation would also make petrol and laber cheaper but this is not what happens...

So no USB connection?

Mezo.

Its not an Apple ;-) It has two full size USB 2.0 Ports see comments:

Two full sized ports. One of them is usb 3.0

I bought this but sent it back as it was s--t

Onda 9.7" Retina Tablet PC Windows 10 + Android 4.4 Bluetooth OTG 64GB WIFI+ 3G | eBay

I may look at that unit, I would like the android unit as well, I may have to buy two units

If wanting a windows tablet
 

You may want to check that it has got a GPS receiver built in.
On the face of it, Teds' find is ok BUT.....
The 1010 tablet -There is one which HAS a SIM slot and one without.

NEITHER of these '1010' tablets have a gps receiver :oops2:
so if you want real time info, you'll need a data plan in each country which will become a nuisance and big $$$ over time provided you buy the one which has the SIM card slot.

Initially I too was looking at a windows tablet but those I found did not have a GPS receiver built in. :thumbdown:
And thinking about it, I did not need Basecamp.

Android comes up trumps in terms of speed and everything else IMHO.
All my waypoint .gpx databases have been converted and load up beautifully on MapsMe ( Free) App. which uses OSM data. The maps scroll as you move along. You do have to download the maps before you go but it can operate with those maps being on the external micro sd slot which is bonus in terms of space saving. Our planet takes about 28GB - don't ask!:innocent:

For practicality, I chose a Samsung 10"tablet which does have a built in GPS receiver and a SIM card slot in case my phone fails.

I used to have MapSource (discontinued) running off a usb stick ( which I have used in web cafe an dother peoples' notebooks and am about to see if Basecamp and Garmin Express will do the same for the heck of it!
Sorry Ted!
