12 Days of Deals, Day 5: Up to 70 Percent Off Select Windows 10 Tablets/2-in-1s

12 Days of Deals, Day 5: Up to 70 Percent Off Select Windows 10 Tablets/2-in-1s

Day 5 of Microsoft’s 12 Days of Deals brings us a variety of Windows 10 tablets priced at up to 70 percent off.

Looking over the available devices, I see a weird mix of standalone tablets (someone still makes 8-inch Windows tablets?) and 2-in-1s. Worse, there are few tablets to really recommend. There are also a number of laptops on this page for whatever reason.

    <p>Is a $50 8" Windows 10 tablet going to be good enough to be your main machine? Of course not.</p>
    <p>But let’s also be honest, it’s a $50 Windows 10 tablet and there are LOTS of scenarios where you want a cheap solution for basic web surfing and checking mail when you’re in conditions where you either don’t want to risk your good machines or as a spare for places where you might decide you might sometimes want a tablet but don’t normally bring one.</p>
    <p>At that price, keep one in each car to use when it’s rainy out&nbsp;and in each bathroom and leave a couple&nbsp;in your guest room for company to use. Dedicate one just as a controller for your smart house lighting and media control.&nbsp;Hang one up permanently displaying the current weather page&nbsp;from your favorite weather site. &nbsp;At that price it’s cheaper than buying standalone electronics. There are a LOT of practical uses for a cheap and crappy tablet.</p>

      <p>I tend to agree with this. That’s probably the reason I’ve got a half dozen unused Kangaroo PCs and tablets all over the place. They’re cheap, not so crappy and, like Raspberry Pies(?) or Raspberries Pi(?), they can be used for all sorts of things. The major drawback to this is keeping them all charged and updated so they’re ready when you need one.</p>

      <p>I wouldn’t want a Windows system&nbsp;for that purpose.</p>

    <p>The NuVision tablets are actually pretty good. The screen is very nice but for most eyes, you will have to scale up to 200% to make it readable, unless you have amazing eyes.</p>
    <p>I would recommend the TM800W610L version. I did have the Intel Atom Z3735F and eMMC version at one time and it struggled a lot. I do recommend getting a U3 MicroSD card and let most of your apps and storage go there so you can reserve the small 32GB for the system.</p>

      <p>I just ordered the "upgraded" one at $59 as an experiment, just to see what you get at that price point.</p>

        <p>Excellent. I ordered that one too. Not that I HAD to have it. I did like the first model but, it was just too slow. Anxious to see if this one performs better. It is an excellent reader and while there are still a lack of "tablet apps" for Windows, loading Chrome and saving pages to Desktop to OPEN AS WINDOWS and then pinning to start screens, you can make up for what "app gap" there is for tablet friendly apps. Works great.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>I ordered three of the NuVision 59 buck tablets. 2 years ago I got 3 HP Stream 7’s and gave 2 as gifts and kept 1 for myself. These NuVision tablets will replace the 3 Streams from before.</p>
