Is this the cheapest Windows 10 tablet ever? The Nextbook Flexx retails for only $139

Add as a preferred source on Google

You can buy a Windows 10 2-in-1 tablet for $139.

The Nextbook Flexx 8.9, from budget tablet maker E Fun, is a 8.9-inch tablet complete with detachable keyboard, priced at sub-Chromebook levels. It’s not exactly a performance powerhouse, but as Liliputing reports you really can’t complain for the price.

The budget device runs Windows 10, and is powered by a Quad Core Intel Atom Z3735G Bay Trail processor. It offers 32 GB of solid state storage and 1 GB of RAM — which isn’t a lot, but enough to run Windows 10 competently if you don’t go overboard with multitasking.

The detachable keyboard has a single USB 2.0 port, so you can plug in a mouse or USB card while docked. The tablet body itself has a micro USB 2.0 port and a MicroSD Card slot, so you can add more storage if you need to, and Bluetooth 4.0 support for your wireless speakers and input devices.

There’s even a micro HDMI port, meaning with an adapter, you could hook this thing up to your TV or any other display. Not bad for a $140 tablet.

If you’ll mostly use the device for browsing the Web and working on the occasional document, it’ll get the job done. Speaking of working on documents: this device comes with the mobile version of Microsoft Office, not the full desktop version. Considering that Office Home & Student 2016 actually retails for $10 more than this device, excluding the desktop software probably makes sense.

The Nextbook Flexx 8.9 comes in your choice of black, blue, or purple. You can buy one right now at Walmart, if you’re so inclined.

From lecture notes to design projects, I picked the right iPads that belong in your bag
Stop taking lecture notes on your phone and get one of these iPad and Pencil combos

A semester’s worth of notebooks, printouts, and loose assignment sheets can turn your backpack into hefty luggage. This is where the iPad steps in, not by making your reading list shorter, but by making your academics less cluttered. Add an Apple Pencil, and the same tablet can handle handwritten lecture notes.

It's not all work and no play, as the iPad can double as a handheld gaming console or streaming device. But at the end of the day, the real question is, "Which one is right for you?" With the various models under its belt, Apple has an iPad for everyone. It currently sells four very different iPads and two relevant Pencil models, with compatibility changing depending on the tablet.

Motorola may have built the iPad alternative Android users have been waiting for
The Moto Pad 70 could be the affordable tablet that finally gets the basics right
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.
