The cheapest tablet with Windows 8.1 full

Hi friends, in this video tutorial I will present a product from Lenovo is a tablet with Windows 8.1 full (as a laptop) which cost only 1000 lei, a very low price for holdings tablet.
Such tablets have emerged recently on the market and are subsidized by Microsoft suspect that otherwise do not explain the extremely low price for 1000 lei barely manage to make a desktop to move well without monitor this course.
When they launched tablets Windows 8, the first who saw the light of day were versions RT, they were equipped with ARM processors, processors much simpler than processors x86 that we used on laptop or desktop that are much-more complex .
ARM processors are very good opereare simple systems such as Android or iOS, Windows is not found on ARM, not the usual applications were running and even autonomy was not great. It was a compromise that Microsoft had to make it at that time that he could come into play.
You might wonder: Why did not start out from tablets x86 processors (Intel or AMD)?
The answer is pretty obvious, was not the time. Technology x86 / x64 was not optimized for ultra portable devices, processors consume too much and overheat. Furthermore, no integrated graphics was not very good at that time. With the shrinking of the manufacturing process could do more, more transistors on a silicon chip, more power with less energy and intelligence, all at the same price.
Now Intel has strained muscles throwing fight family Bay Trail that can lupri certain plans SOC popular sites such as Snapdragon 800 or Exynos 5 octa, these are high-performance processor with a very low consumption and a graphics excellent. A tutorial see how smart is in the Atom z3740 in double-simultaneous streams running 4k one local on other youtube. Procesoarul laugh if these two files, which you know very well, it runs on any PC, tablet or mobile about no longer talk.
But not only is stellar processor, and graphics is contributing, with Quick Sync can push this little tablet screen pixels 16 30 million times per second, not impressive?
Wireless media tablet to me about this little thrown back, while phone and laptop achieve optimum Mbps 65, 150 Mbps tablet jab with a good signal everywhere, almost forget that you are connected wirelessly.
GPS is actually GNSS, that supports GPS satellites (door) and the GLONASS (Russian Federation), the location is very fast and accurate.
Today I gave you a short preview, in the coming days I will put Lenovo Miix 2 8 tablets to work, to see what it can do.
If you are interested in something, please write to me on the comments section and I'll cover next time.
Waiting questions, opinions and suggestions related to your tablet and beyond the comments box.

  • Hello Cristi. They are in a while in search of a tablet. You may also consider a model with a larger diagonal (from 9 inches and up), with specifications similar to Lenovo Miiix 2.
    If you could, you can make a video about how to connect your tablet to a larger screen and how to install Android, Linux (Ubuntu) on it.
    Thank you in advance.

  • I have a similar tablet (Toshiba Encore WT8-A-102), which has practically the same specifications. I am very satisfied with the tablet but I am interested in being able to use it as a GPS navigation system. Unfortunately I did not find an application for such a thing. I found an IGO program for Windows, but it does not "see" the gps module of the tablet, it is looking for gps mode on a com port. Please help me somehow in this problem. Thank you in advance!

    • Intreabare same one I myself: what application can be used for sailing to and talk? HERE Maps app and offline You can use only if you download maps before, but it shows you just the route.

  • I was not best Asus notes 8? The advantage of the stylus, better accuracy in desktop interface, better and more related stylus. I would opt for. asus for sketches and finished in Photoshop on the desktop.
    With regard 4k on youtube, my CPU, i3 530 not cope.
    Congratulations for tutorial and have part of it as much.
    PS I suppose the one to take and try to install ubuntu?

  • Hi, congratulations for the tutorial, I would like to know if I connect an OTG usb cable will I be able to connect any windows compatible device on usb (usb sound card, usb network card, stick, printer etc.)? Thanks !

    • I'm studying right now Lenovo capabilities Miix 2 8.
      In the following video tutorial will attack and the connectivity, including USB OTG USB host or as is called.

  • Hello, I have a few questions about the tablet:
    How long does the battery in normal use? And how to playback 4k you?
    Internal memory type is seen as EMMC. How fast is it? Approaching the least bit of an SSD?
    I look forward to these videos on this product, because my opinion is a BestBuy.

  • I haven't watched a tutorial with so much passion for a long time, nor did I notice that the 19 minutes have passed so quickly :) Let's go back to the tutorial:
    Probably if this tablet had a display of 1920/1080 pixels the processor loads much harder, but at 1280 x 800 resolution it has no problems even at 8k I say, probably Lenovo chose the lower resolution due to the price and the resolution the so-called "retina" consumes a lot of battery
    On this tablet at a display of 8 inch not really see the point Windows 8 Full (pro) as a tablet 8 inch will not stay like crazy to remove games utorent or what not crap, probably on a tablet 10-12 inch can, but only on a small display of inch 8 not really see the applications that they use desktop applications more useful see the Metro UI. I notice it has a WiFi chip that capture's very good.
    What we tutorials about this tablet? Well we want to see how it behaves applications in Metro UI that we use extensively from browsing to applications in developing Windows Store, side software on the desktop on the tablet not interested in dating that as a siplay of 8 we never sit inch apply to use the classic ones they prefer touch. We also want to see other operating systems on this tablet: for example Ubuntu, which is highly optimized for touch ok.
    I have in my account to buy a tablet with similar hardware 10-12 inch display and a resolution mandatory 1080p.

    • Glad you liked t presentation, I hope you like and review to follow.
      Such a high resolution is only needed on larger tablets.
      We still need to think that Windows is different scales.
      1080 must walk to compulsory dpi if you do not, not in desktop mode no icon Aim with your finger. All shortcuts and their text will be very small.

    • And I'll show it next time. Until then if you have a tablet-like and want to enter the bios:
      1. Stops tablet
      2. Press the Volume Up + Power buttons simultaneously
      3. Choose from the menu screen or Tablet Setup Bios Setup.

  • If I had to buy a tablet and have the necessary money, I don't think I would have thought about it, it's simply worth buying. I would have almost anything I would like on a tablet ... a windows operating system on x86 or x64 architecture. This says a lot about the range of third party applications that I could install later. I hope that in the future more and more such tablets will appear on x64 architecture.
    There are also some commercial things about this tablet, like for example, why would I want to run a 4k movie when the native resolution of the dispaly is 1280x800 and it doesn't even seem to have an hdmi or dvi port? But still that says some things about processing power in general. For example, when I watch a 4k clip on youtube, the processor reaches somewhere between 50-60% (i5 4430).
    I sit and think ... would it be possible to run an adobe premiere pro cs6 on this device? if so, how would it behave? Anyway ... a 64-bit operating system would be needed and anyway ... it wouldn't quite fit the minimum requirements of this application (only 2 gb of ram are available at a frequency of 1066mhz), plus the dispaly it would be too small. But so a curiosity ... would it work? :)
    Also, it can be sold without the preinstalled operating system office and not the other, but his lower the price :))
    Joking aside, I find something revolutionary tablet, even if the battery would be somewhat affected by this hardware configuration.

  • I have a load on i3 of 3%, 1,7 G ram consumption but ... hdd 98/100%. I have to go on ssd necessarily. I don't give money on hard anymore

  • Cristi are you serious ??? I can't believe what that processor can do, I also got my hands on this tablet in a store yes I didn't stop to see what it can do, it amazes me with 2 4k videos one and in flash which is not easy at all and does not exceed 30%, well what else is the same as my i5 4570 processor ...

    • Intel Bay Trail is amazing family, you can do wonders with an extremely low. This helps the operating system, which is very well written. Windows is more advanced than other operating systems for ultraportables. If software developers and would give more diligence, we had a super solid platform. But we have no choice, do economic fundamentals rules of the game. It is easier to make applications for Android and iOS and earnings are better so obvious.
      Intel processors require operating systems like Windows, Ubuntu and MacOS as putting them in value.
      On the same processor android would not impress too, that because of how it runs on android.
