Tempting until I saw only 1GB of ram ....Photoshop and most other windows application needs at least 2 GB of RAM to work properly.

Cheap but not gonna be that fun or useful even as a testing tablet. This is strictly for ppl who can't afford a notebook and wants a cheaper portable windows alternative for mainly OFFICE productivity .

Ah ha, thought about it and decided to continue with the order.

Think personally, while I don't need the Office 365, I need a small tablet like this to read kindle books and surf web. That's almost all that all I do. Haha. It has IPS displaydisplay and the resolution is good enough. :)

Anyway for this price even if the whole experience is really poor at most will just sell it in marketplace bah. Quite a nice bet for me. :)

I'm keen to get also. Anyone knows if this will be sold in SG?

TS how did you get the shipping charges to be waived? Do you have some special lobang or is there a general promotion offered by Amazon that's available to everyone?

I have the tablet now. Its really really good for this price. I am serious. Didn't know that windows can run with 1gb ram very well. Battery isn't as good though.

They offer to send and offer to compensate the shipping return fee back to US damn nice. But they also offer 30% partially refund so of course I take the partial refund.

Cause the bleeding actually not so serious. Haha.
