[Device Reviews and Information] Alternate_DM:
okie dokie, so I've had the tablet for a couple of days now, here are my thoughts.

First impressions: The tablet sits in a cardboard tray inside the box, and the lid is lined with a dense foam pad to protect the screen. Mine came well wrapped in bubble wrap. Should take a hit or two while in transit. There is a cheap screen protector pre-applied. It feels ok to touch and swipe, but is not oleophobic at all and finger prints will show very easily. Mine had a spec of dust towards the edge that I managed to remove fairly easily. The included micro usb cable feels pretty decent, kind of a rubbery feel to it, as opposed to a cheap plastic one. The included charger has 2 straight pins, with an american? adapter... no good for me in Australia. Luckily I have a spare travel adapter handy.

Included OS/Software: Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, 4gb of RAM available. No bloatware that I could see (i didnt look hard though as I intended to do a full reinstall anyway) except for a Korean Media shortcut on the desktop. The initial windows setup had already been completed with a "V" user account already setup... I wasn't getting any certificate errors so maybe not sinister... but again, full wipe pending :) Intermittently the CPU would ramp up with something that I couldn't pin point and the tablet would run warm. It didn't appear to have a negative impact on performance though.

I reinstalled Windows 10 Home, and it activated no problems (with windows 10 licensing, I didnt even need to enter in the serial). I used the drivers from that link a few posts above, no problem! Except for the camera drivers not being signed. I didn't bother, but you should be able to get around this by using the advanced boot options and turning off driver signing requirements. Best bit is this stopped the random CPU hog.

Quality: Back is plastic, with a subtle crosshatch pattern for texture, and chamfered sides. Feels fairly solid, except for the edge of the screen above the I/O ports... there is a bit of flex here and you can push the screen slightly into the case. Not a huge thing thing. 2 speaker holes are on the opposite end... kind of weird as they're only left and right if you hold the tablet portrait. If you are watching a movie they'll both be at one end. Having said that, it won't really matter, volume is abismal... very quiet, including through headphones. I had some luck using a program called DFX Audio Enhancer, so i think it may be an issue with the driver? Hardware wise it sounded fine with DFX increasing the volume. Using a USB DAC I had spare I got very good volume as well. Power/Sleep button and Volume rocker feels nice and solid. Very tactile click and no loose movement at all.

Heat: With the CPU at full load it would generate a bit of heat. Not too much that it was super uncomfortable though, and its all localised to the end closest to the I/O ports. If it does get a bit hot to hold, there is an easy fix.... flip it around :) However, with general use, and even watching a HD movie, the CPU was pretty much idling and not making too much heat at all. Would really only be if you had something running in the background.

Screen flickering: unfortunately I did get this a couple of times, athough it seems to fade away pretty quickly. It seems to appear only when (and not everytime, still rare) the tablet has been cranking away with the screen off, and it was quite warm. When I woke it from sleep it was about the top inch of the screen, kind of like an old fluorescent tube flickering at half pace.

USB ports: I was able to run a 2.5" external 1TB USB3 drive and copy to and from this using the USB3 port. Happy days!

Battery Life: I completely depleted the battery, and a full charge while the tablet is off took a little over 4 hours. Seems to take a while longer if the tablet is on, but at least it does still charge, and not a case of the tablet using more than the charger can provide and actually discharging. Didn't test this under a full load though. Tonight I gave it a full charge, and gave it some moderate usage: youtube, skipped through some movies while trying out the sound, lots of browsing network shares etc. After 4 hours I was down to 50%, so seems pretty good to me. I didn't test a whole movie though or anything super intensive.

And, unfortunately, that is about as far as im going to get to review this tablet. While walking out of my lounge room, out of the corner of my eye, my wife threw something at me and my reaction was less than graceful... And I dropped it on to a tile floor. It didn't bounce very well at all. The case popped open (no real damage there) but the screen is shattered and touch is non-responsive.... so epic sad face :(
