Ive noticed these cheap Tablets from Chinese company Teclast that are windows 8.1 and dual boot to android and come with high res screens.

Any one got one, what they like ?

I've got a Chuwi Vi8 which would be similar- there's a first impression review on here somewhere.
The amount of RAM appears to be the rate limiting issue, as in Windows mode it's always claiming to have run out of memory (but continues to run fine) and the RAM might be at the root of the Bluetooth stuttering issue"
The screen is, in my eyes, extremely good, particularly in Windows mode. Battery life is good, but not spectacular.
But, that sums up the whole tablet - good, but not spectacular. I want to like the Windows Mobile format and the tablet has been good for trying it out, but, goodness me, it needs more quality apps.

Yeah thanks for that, cant you just put normal PC programs on it ? Obvisouly ones that arent too taxing.

Pretty much all Intel Atom based Windows 8.1 tablets (anything that isn't "RT") will be able to run normal desktop programs. This is pretty much the only area where Windows is useful on a tablet at the moment, due to the lack of apps for the modern UI.

They should even be able to run many PC games from before 2007 and probably very few past that.
