All in all tablet is great : with powerful system, already installed Android 5.1 OS, large IPS screen, satellite navigation systems, ability to be used as phone and metallic body. And the main one : it has Intel Atom processor, this means that there is ability to setup Windows OS on it and receive at the same time Android tablet PC with all these functions and Windows-device with ability to use all functions of this OS, launch of familiar applications and connect external devices in the trips. Wherein its cost is around 100 – 110 USD, in some respect it is adequate to its functions, but there is ability to find similar tablets with smaller price.

There are different tablet PCs available, for example, there are devices with boom-box functionality, combining portable computer and advanced portable audio system, among them there is BQ 7063G DISCO mini-computer. Having 7″ multitouch IPS screen with 1024 x 600 pixels resolution, OS Android 4.4 and powerful system. In it following are built in : 4-cores processor Spreadtrum SC5735, working on 1.2 GHz frequency, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory with ability to extend via Micro SD flash cards with 32 GB max capacity ( probably, larger cards are also supported ) and 2 SIM cards slots. Tablet PC can be used as phone with support of 2G ( GSM 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 ) and 3G ( WCDMA ) networks, without 4G LTE support; it has GPS and A-GPS satellite navigation as well as orientation and gravity and acceleration sensors.

In BQ 7063G DISCO two weak cameras are placed, as in all not pricey Windows and Android tablet PCs : 2 MP main one and 0.3 MP frontal one without LED flash. It supports wireless Wi-Fi ( IEEE 802.11 b/g/n ) and Bluetooth 2.0 connections for remote data transfers and communications with other devices, without NFC support.

There are device variants with already installed Windows 10 OS. However there is need to note, that there is ability to buy for slightly larger sum tablet PC Onda V820w with 2 GB of RAM and 2 operating systems, but with plastic back panel.

These days most of the electronics and their parts are manufactured in China and its citizens started to export it under their own brands, creating very good devices with very attractive prices. Among these devices there is Dual Boot tablet PC Onda V820w, having 2 operating systems Windows 8.1 ( with ability to upgradet to 10 version ) and Android 4.4 ( also with ability to upgrade to newer versions ) and 2 GB of DDR3L RAM ( this is a fully functional office computer and PC for other tasks, that load system not intensively ).

In Prestigio MultiPad PMP881TD, as in most other not expensive tablets models, 2 trlatively weak cameras are placed : 2 MP main one and 0.3 MP frontal one, very functional cameras not needed very much for such devices, because they will not give high-quality photos and videos due to small sensors and lens.

There is also ability to update its OS to 10 version. There is ability to wish for satellite navigation and phone calls support, but they are not built into entry-level Windows tablet PCs.

Company Supra recently released new tablet PC M74NG, having 7″ multitouch IPS screen ( with 1024 x 600 pixels resolution and 170 PPI density ), support of 3G connections, satellite navigation, Android 5.1 OS and other modern functions and costing around 50 USD. In it following is built in : 4-cores MT 8321 processor, working on 1.3 GHz frequency; 512 MB of RAM; 8 GB of built in memory with ability to extend via Micro SDHC flash cards with capacity up to 32 GB; and ability to use as cell-phone with 2 SIM cards. Tablet can work in 2G and 3G networks, without 4G support; GPS navigation, without GLONASS support and acceleration sensors are built into it.

Just for the check in SUPRA M74NG two cameras are placed : 0.3 MP frontal one and 2 MP main one; it can establish Wi-Fi ( IEEE 802.11 b/g/n ) and Bluetooth wireless connections for remote data transferring and communications with other devices. On external panels of tablet following modules can be found : USB port for connection with computer and other devices plugging via OTG; TRS 1/8″ mini-jack output for headphones; power switch and volume control buttons; and speaker, playing mono sound.

All in all for such money tablet is great; there is ability to wish for 4G, GLONASS support, larger RAM size and other functions, but price will increase accordingly with them. Manufacturer does not tell which graphical chip is used, if used at all ( maybe devices uses software rendering on its 4-cores CPU ), otherwise tablet is great for such money.
