Exceptional Versatility and Value
I had very low expectations for this tablet. Oh I had high hopes, but for this price, I assumed this tablet was going to be very disappointing. Gladly, I can say that I'm pleasantly surprised by this tablet. It's actually really nice.I wanted a Windows 10 based tablet to use as a media hub/tuning tool for my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Recently I've done some pretty heavy modifications to my Evo and because of that I'm no longer able to use my Cobb Accessport V3 tuner. I was using the Cobb AP primarily as a monitor for AFR, boost, knock and a few other less important features. At first I figured I'd have to set a laptop on the passenger seat like you see in The Fast and The Furious. Where Brian runs NOS for like a minute straight and his laptop tells him, "Danger to manifold" then he slams the laptop closed and tells it to shut up. Yeah, like that. But, since I have extensive experience working on PCs and Windows based systems I figured I could get it to work on a tablet. Not wanting to spend a fortune for a name brand, as I wasn't sure it would work. I decided to buy the cheapest one I could find that met my needs. Which led me to this Nuvision tablet.So now I plug my Tactrix 2.0 cable into the OBD2 port and plug the USB cable from that into the adapter that came with this tablet. And it's every bit as good as a laptop. I mean, if you don't need a lot of speed or processing power. Which I don't for this. I can datalog using EvoScan software, monitor my cars vitals and play music through my stereo using this tablets Bluetooth. It's great. I bought a cheap dash mount for tablets that mounts up to my air vents. I really don't like most other designs. I've found that the safest and most reliable way to secure a mount for phones or tablets to your dash is to get the type that hooks onto your air vents. It won't fall off like those stupid suction cup style types. Sure if blocks some of the air from the vents it's mounted to, but I don't really need to use them anyway.So overall I'm pretty happy with this tablet. Even if I had paid more I would still be pretty satisfied. What I would like to see on this tablet would be more onboard storage, the 32 GB it comes with is barely enough for the Windows 10 system files. I have a little more than 5 GB of free space on mine after updating it. I may have more if I clean up old update files though. I would like to see another USB port. I'm glad it has one, but two would really be nice. Battery life is ok, not great. The onboard speakers don't get very loud at all.This tablet has what I think is a port for SIM cards or maybe a micro SD slot. I can't quite make out the label on it as it's pretty faded. I mean, you can always hook up a flash drive or external drive via the USB port. But who wants a flash drive dangling off their tablet? The screen is really nice, especially for the price. It supports 1920x1200 resolution. Which is a 16x10 aspect ratio. Kind of an odd one that's uncommon these days. It has a camera I haven't used yet. The wi-fi adapter only supports 2.4 GHz bands.The main thing is, it comes with Windows 10 preinstalled. Which if you went to buy it separately would cost you way more than this tablet alone. When I first turned it on and let it auto update, once it got done and turned back on. It wasn't in tablet mode. I had to go into the settings and change it to tablet mode so the keyboard would display when I "clicked" in a text box. I'm not a fan of Windows tablet mode as I think the tiles are irritating. You can delete the ones you don't want. But still, I'd prefer a regular desktop display.I was able to stream YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime all without any issues. This tablet shouldn't have any issues at all playing the mobile games or apps from the Windows store. Sure, you could install Gears of War 4 or Forza 7 on your tablet. But they won't play because you don't meet the minimum system requirements. You can probably play older games if you hook up a controller or wireless mouse and keyboard. But it's far from ideal. This tablet has surprisingly good hardware for what you pay. An Intel Atom CPU 1.33 GHz boosts up to around 1.6-1.7 GHz. 2 GB of RAM. 4 would have been ideal, but you really can't argue for this price. Intel HD graphics, integrated GPU onboard the Intel Atom chip.This tablet is light and it seems really sturdy. One of the great things about Windows 10 is its capability to run older programs and apps in compatibility mode for older operating systems as far back to and possibly even older than Windows XP. I've never had to go back further than XP, so I'm not 100% sure about that. If you tuning software is only supported by Windows XP or Vista, go into the programs properties and run it in compatibility mode. It works surprisingly well and is usually pretty stable. With the hardware this tablet comes with, it runs Windows 10 pretty well. It's far from fast, but it's definitely tolerable.In the end, how often do you hear people saying you get what you pay for these days? With all the Chinese junk for sale nowadays, it happens a lot. But this tablet is like breath of fresh air. Which I'm familiar with living high in the Appalachian mountains. As a PC hardware and gaming enthusiast and as a Performance automotive enthusiast I put my seal of approval on this tablet. No, it's not the best money can buy. But the bang for your buck on this one is phenomenal. Even with its few shortcomings I'm giving it 5 stars. Because the value is just so good there's not enough negatives to warrant reducing its rating.Update: so turns out this tablet is even better than I thought. It also has Bluetooth. I have had external speakers and an Xbox 1 controller hooked up via Bluetooth. If you hook up a USB keyboard you can enter the BIOS on restart and there's a few options you can change that will improve performance a little if you're gaming. It definitely improved response time. I installed Steam and have been playing Borderlands and Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Which is epic! I mean, where else can you get a mobile device that can play awesome PC games for $65? Nowhere. I hook up my Xbox controller and fired up my games and I'm good to go. Just leave it charging while you play and you're good to go indefinitely. Buy some micro SD cards for your games and it's better than a PS Vita. The battery life isn't the greatest. After I cleaned up all the useless crap hogging up the data drive I had about 12 GB of free space to work with while maintaining essential Win 10 file system stuff.

Out of the box - 100% drained battery and weird mildew smell. Storage too small for windows updates. broken after creators
immediately after opening the box, it smelled weird. Like mildew - bad mildew - like flood damage in a music studio. Just a horrible smell. That made me nervous. If I get fungal pneumonia I'll know what to blame.It's battery was super-dead. I charged it for 30 minutes on a 2 amp charger and that was enough to get the screen to turn on and show the low battery warning, but not enough to use it. I'll update the review after I've used it, but my initial impressions are.... not good.UPDATE - A day of usage - I installed browser apps, windirstat, CCCP codecs and some basic tools, under 1gb of total space used. I quickly found that this was too much, and removed all of it, as updates could not proceed. The system downloaded the "panic" updater, the upgrade assistant, and simultaneously tried to use that and windows updates to deliver build 1709. This chewed up all available space, with both fronts annoyingly failing. It was asking me to use removable storage as a "buffer" for it to store with - I tried it, to play devil's advocate for the general consumer, with the included adapter. Over six hours, it was 3% complete, and I worried the battery was going to die so I cut power and rebooted. It annoyingly needed the flash drive plugged in to roll back, so.... I charged it for a couple hours and did this.As an end user, this might be difficult to accomplish. I'd recommend you skip the updates entirely and just use the update assistant tool, which you can readily find on microsoft's website.As an enterprise IT provider making this work is in my wheelhouse, but It's likely others may experience these issues, as well. As new builds get larger, 32gb may not be a usable or workable storage amount - and if you are storing stuff on the primary disk, your C: drive, it's likely you won't be able to do large updates, which is microsoft's new favorite thing.For 60 bucks it's a really amazing tablet... but be prepared that you may have trouble updating, and get a micro SD card. I had no problems using a 128gb micro SDXC.UPDATE AGAIN:After the fall creators update, I had not yet begun installing anything weird or complex, just basic browsing and dicking around, and had several generic BSODS for internal power issue. It also would not charge while turned on, which I found some other reports of, but no solution. I downloaded the "drivers" from nuvision's website, but it was simply the stock image for the device. I was unable to restore functionality. I did a driver dump from prior to the creator's update, as I like to do with new machines incase I can't find the stock drivers, but I replaced dozens of drivers with stock but could not restore normal charging functionality, nor could I stop the bsods. I'm now returning the tablet. Sure wish it had worked, but I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a GPD pocket.
