Don't Buy This! Useless Android with No Google Services! Too Bad There's No "0" Star Option!
Stop. Don't buy this! This dual boot tablet is basically only a Windows 10 tablet because the Chinese Android installation does not have Google Services installed. I bought it through Amazon. The Windows 10 installation, surprisingly, is a (HOLD THE PRESSES FOR AN EDIT!) *NOT A* legitimate Windows 10 English installation. The Win10 is hacked with the KMSpico 'authorization tool" - which means it does not have a legitimate key.So, without flashing the Android ROM (which deletes Windows 10 and isn't simple...) and then reinstalling [EDITED] valid [EDITED] Win10 (and I assume dealing with driver issues), you have no Google services. No Gmail, Play Store, YouTube, Chrome, etc. There's lots of strange Chinese apps.And then there's the dual boot. The dual boot screen doesn't recognize finger presses and the "switch OS" is apparently only and option on the Windows 10 side, so to switch from the useless Android to Windows 10, I needed a powered USB OTG hub and a mouse (I don't think bluetooth would work).To recap: useless Android. No Google services and you can't install them - not worth the premium.

Love the dual OS but it's all a bit wonky
This tablet is sort of interesting but it's hard for me to recommend it very highly because of all the quirks. The footprint of the tablet is very similar to an iPad, however, it's much thicker and heavier and the ports are placed in different spots. The tablet has both micro USB and an AC port for charging. It also comes with a power brick that's not too big, but still bulky to carry around. It does have a micro HDMI port which is supposedly 4k compatible, though I did not have the opportunity to try it.Probably the most unusual thing about this tablet, is it has dual boot mode and can run either Windows 10 or Android 5. There's an icon on each respective desktop, and all you do is tap the icon to open a prompt asking if you want to reboot into the other OS. This is actually really neat, but just be aware, that if you do a factory reset to the Android side, the OS defaults to Chinese language, so you'll have to get into the menus and change the language to English. To help with that, I downloaded the Google Translate app to my phone, then took pictures of all the menus and translated them so I could find how to switch the language to English. It's not hard, but its not convenient either. The Windows side of things prompts for your preferred language after a reset, so no worries there.The performance of the tablet is on par with the other budget Android tablets I have. It really doesn't compare to an iPad or Galaxy Tab. The screen is quite nice with good viewing angles. The touch screen is responsive and I experienced no issues. It comes with a decent amount of bloatware on the Android side, but most of it can be uninstalled easily. The Windows side of things is decent, but the virtual keyboard never pops out automatically, and has to be launched manually every time you want to use it. The performance is more sluggish in Windows. It does have bluetooth, so you could connect a keyboard or other accessories.Battery life isn't bad, but I only got about 4 hours out of it on the first charge. I did no scientific testing in that regard. It comes in a white box with color graphics that are strikingly similar to an iPad box. Overall, it's feels heavy and awkward, but the dual boot modes make it a novelty. I like it, but I'm not in love with it. I'm wondering if I'll be able to find a decent case for it. This is a great second tablet or one to give the kids, but far too quirky to be your one and only tablet; though the dual boot is a strong selling point.I was given this free in exchange for an honest review.
