Nearest I have to a Tablet is me Kindle but I must admit I lean towards the theory that within a very few years PC, Laptops etc will all be replaced by Tablets.

Having spent ££££££££££££s on new laptops for boys and self in the last year I am disinclined to get a tablet until they are a little better priced and reliable. Capacity seems to be a bit of a problem.

That said Lil Bruv recently upgraded from his old cloncker to one of these all-in one PCs. Still has keyboard and mouse but everything else is built into the back and sides of the screen. Comes with touch screen but he prefers to use the keyboard and mouse. Mind you it is a 20 inch screen so I doubt if he would want to carry it around.

The Fire looks good but it is severely limited in what it can do and how much you can expand it....

The one I've ordered has 16GB and a slot for adding another 32GB - plus you have access to all of the Android aps (including the Kindle ap)...

It really pisses all over the fire!  lol:

The one I've got is just stunningly built - really feels quality.

Comes with 16GB memory and the latest Android 3 operating system.

The screen is fantastic, the whole thing is slick and fast...

There are a gazillion applications to download fer free like...

And it does 90% of what I do on my PC in a tiny package...

Keyboard takes a little getting used to... but you can download other keyboards with predictive test and stuff...

I don't think it is the lightest, fastest, best screen, etc. of them all but it is very well built and the display is stunning... can't get over it really...

And (contrary to the Amazon description) it comes with 16G and Android 3

I've popped a 16GB upgrade in and it flies...

I reckon it is at least 80% of an iPad for a fraction of the price... and upgradeable....

WiFi built in... you need a dongle for 3G

Yes, Google maps and stuff built in... it can work out where you are from your WiFi signal or you can use an external GPS receiver... I bought one off ebay for a few quid...

Yes, e-mail apps available... it will automatically synchronise with your gmail account... not sure about others yet...

Battery life is claimed five hours... depends on what you do with it... read the Amazon reviews for a good overview...

It isn't an iPad... prolly not as good but it is at least 80% as good and a lot less money. Plus you are not tied into iTunes, can access web sites with flash and you can expand the thing... it also has two Micro-USB ports and an HDMI port for streaming to your telly or projector...

Just tested the sound... speakers are a bit weak but the sound when headphones is excellent...

Playing Youtube videos is amazing...

But they are not as good as Kindle for reading purposes. Different screen resolution. Reading Kindle is like reading from the page of a book. Reading from a Kindle app (THW has one on her Mac) is not the same at all, too bright and causes eye strain.

Not saying don't get a tablet ~ I may get one myself ~ but I am saying don't expect to be able to use it like a Kindle ~ they are very different.

A quick review…

Okay, I’ve had the tablet a week now and am extremely pleased with it.

I paid £159.99 from here (http://www.didobuy.com/window-yuandao-n101). They charged me £11.99 to ship to Cyprus by FEDEX and it arrived in three days. I’m told this was a bit of a cock up at their end and the shipping cost should have been £30. Perhaps a point to negotiate on.

I also bought a Neoprene sleeve case (£1.88) and a HDMI Mini cable (£5.99). All shipped at the same time and well packed.

The device comes with a Chinese charger and local adapter. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it clear that we use the UK system over here so it was shipped with a ‘Continental’ 2-pin adapter. Luckily I had a multi-adapter in the house so it was no problem.

One thing of note is that the device is powered by two 3.7V (I think) batteries and the charger is 12V @ 2A. You cannot charge this device via USB.

Separately, I have bought a SanDisk MicroSDHC 32GB Memory Card (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00422GXXA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) for £13.84 + shipping (£19) although I see the price of this is now £17.49.

The general specification of the tablet is as follows: -

Model                  Window N101 version 2
Operating System   4.1.1
Display                  10.1 inch IPS Capacitive screen
Resolution               1280 x 752 px
CPU   Cortex-A9 dual-core 1.6GHz
GPU   Mali 400
RAM   1GB DDR3
ROM   32GB
Camera   Dual cameras, front & back 2.0Mp

You can get the full spec on the DidoBuy site or elsewhere.

I was asked if I wanted the metal or the plastic back – both are the same price. I chose the plastic as I had heard that WiFi performance was better with it.

So, to the device.

The display is absolutely stunning.

The device is extremely fast and responsive.

The battery seems to last a long time – I haven’t done a definitive test yet but I’m not constantly looking towards the charger – I’d guess at least five hours continual use and all day using it on and off.

The sound is good – it only has a single speaker at the rear of the device but it is loud and clear. In fact it can be a little too loud for people sitting in front of you. Sounds through the 3½” output is absolutely stunning – even when using the cheap (branded) earphones that come with it.

So, so far I have copied a load of movies, music and pictures to the Micro SD card and transferred them to the device. I’ve also connected it to my PC via USB and transferred the same. I can also stream files from my NAS to it…

Everything so far has worked perfectly.

I’ve downloaded a few apps from the store including Firefox which synchronised quite happily with my desktop copy.

I’ve got a cheap (EnGenius) router in the kitchen. I can get a good signal from it throughout the house including the bedrooms upstairs and my office in the basement – which is quite good considering the amount of concrete and rebar between the two.

Overall, I am really happy with it – a great purchase.

Happy to answer any additional questions regarding it.
