Been thinking of getting myself a cheap Windows tablet, as my current laptop is having it keyboard fixed, and my original hudl is slow as anything. Been looking at getting one of these £100(ish) Windows 10 tablets. The only thing that worries me is the limiting 32GB of storage. I know this can be upgraded with an SD card, but from I've heard, you can't install anything on the card itself.
How do people find the storage on them? Also how do they run with just a bit of Youtube watching and Skyping?
I would also consider a Google Nexus 7, how do the compare (apps would worry too much)?

If you are just doing YouTube and Skype you don't need to worry about storage.

Will they work ok on these kind of devices (particularly 720p youtube? Also can anybody recommend me a light anti virus for it?

Apps like YouTube and Skype should work on any modern tablet.

For Windows, Panda antivirus is fairly light. I'm not too familiar with Android anti malware.

I’ve got an Acer 8” W10 tablet and use the same anti-virus (Avast Free) that I use on its desk-top big brother with no problems.

With SD storage that works much the same as it does on any Windows platform.

Can you install anything on the SD card?

Yes you can but are you getting mixed up with some version of Android that doesn’t allow the use of SD storage?

Just use file explorer to move files to SD or you can download direct to the SD card.

I am talking Windows and not Android in this respect.

I was asking about Windows 10 (sorry should have said).

I’ve just doubled check the downloading of files from the internet to be sure you can download direct to the SD card because when I download anything in Chrome or Firefox it goes directly into the C drive / Downloads folder of the tablet by default but you can change it to default to the SD card if need be within the browser settings.

In the settings in Windows 10 you can set it so that your user directories are located on the SD card, and also so that all newly installed 'Store' apps are installed to SD card.

Not sure of the situation with Windows 'desktop' programs? But I imagine you could choose which drive to install them on during the installation process?

I've got the Linx 1010 tablet and love it, I may have mentioned it on some other threads....

As a simple tablet it is great. Windows 10 has a tablet UI that makes the whole screen full of icons, just like Android or iOS, and you navigate with swipe gestures etc.

But you can also switch to desktop mode where it is Windows 10 the same as your desktop PC. It is exactly the same OS. If you have a MS account to log into your PC and use that on the tablet it will have the same wallpaper and synch all the files and folders you select.

So it treats the micro SD card exactly the same as your PC will treat another hard drive. You can choose to install programs on it and if you put all your files on it by default then if, as happened to my old tablet, someone steps on it and smashes it, you can just take the SD card out and have all your files safe and sound, even if they hadn't been backed up to One Drive.

I have a 128gb SD card that cost me £40 on Amazon. I only ever buy from Amazon themselves because there are so many fakes from unknown sellers.

The keyboard is included in this bundle and works great, including a proper trackpad or you can use any bluetooth mouse. I very rarely use the keyboard but it's nice if and when you want to use it. Be warned, the keyboard is quite heavy as it needs to counterbalance the tablet itself.

Speakers are okay, but not that powerful so in a noisy environment you might struggle to hear them.

And if you want you can plug in a external monitor and a full size keyboard and mouse and use it as a dual screen PC. It has three USB (2 full size, 1 micro) and a micro HDMI out. You're not going to play a top spec 3D video game at 70 fps but you can plug in a USB XBox controller and play lots of games perfectly well, there are videos on Youtube showing people doing this. I can play three HD videos at the same time in three windows and open Word and type a letter, so it's perfectly capable performance wise.

And if you just want to use it as a simple tablet it happily does just that. If you have a miracast equipped TV you can sit on the sofa and play a movie or a game on your big screen TV.

I have a 32gig Linx tablet with Office 2007 installed (all of it) along with some other proper Windows apps and it's updated to Windows 10.

i have about 50% of the storage still free which is fine, I have a 32 gig card in it to store video and music on.

I like the Linx as it comes with a keyboard and you can use it as a proper mini laptop

BTW, for security I use the built in Windows Defender and never had a problem. But I also use U Block and Ghostery extensions on Chrome since lots of ads can now have malicious content, whether you click on the ad or not.

I would also recommend Windows Defender and various browser extensions over the other products such as Avast - all of the other A/V products seem to bring PCs to a crawl over time.

I've got two windows tablet - favourite is a Toshiba Click Mini - the screen (8.9", 1920x1200) is utterly sublime, the way the keyboard connects up to the screen is brilliant.

Overall, I much prefer W10 on a tablet now to Android!

I have a Microsoft surface

They are pricey, but definitely the best windows tablet (as you would expect) on the market today.

They can certainly perform as a desktop replacement
