Best Windows Tablets in the UK

This device is supplied with a keyboard and a touchpad, which is convenient for work, especially when you need to type something. The keyboard isn’t as great as a laptop or PC one, but it’s pretty good by convertible standards. The keys are located very close to each other so you'll need some time to get used to this keyboard. The touchpad has a tiny 3.4 x 1.7-inch surface and it will take some time to get used to it too. The cursor will intermittently jump the first time you use it. The Asus T102HA comes bundled with a stylus called an Asus Pen. The aluminum stylus is about the same size as an ordinary pen, albeit a bit heavier. It has two buttons: one for an eraser and one to serve as a right click. This stylus offers 1,024 points of pressure sensitivity.

On top of that, you're in for quite a surprise when you're going to use the tablet's speakers for the first time. The sound is exceptionally clear and loud. But if you are a real music fan, you can customise EQ according to your tastes with ICEpower AudioWizard. There are very good specs for Windows tablet with keyboard.

The T102HA battery life is also quite good. You can use it at your desk or on the go and it still lasts long enough to go all day without the need to recharge it.

The ASUS T102HA-GR036T is a worthy acquisition thanks to its competitive bright and colourful display and long battery life. On top of that, a comfortable stylus is a nice little bonus. However, the performance is not necessarily good enough to play games or use it instead of a PC and the keyboard it comes bundled with is not particularly convenient.

The Microsoft Surface 9JR-00027 is a good alternative to a laptop, with a kickstand, keyboard, office, and without any loss in the mobility department. But the main difference between this device and laptop is the operating time, meaning you can work much longer without charging. But there are some weak sides to this tablet and that would be mainly productivity and communications. This tablet is cheaper than most flagship models but loses to them in terms of performance and there are no LTE or 3G (just Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).

Supplied with Windows RT software, this tablet has a full grade office, which serves as a great advantage compared to the competition. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote make the tablet a real working tool. Multitasking is the other tablet's distinctive feature. You can play the flash player on a web page and open some applications for the other tasks. Which is impossible to do on iOS and Android devices. But incompatibility of Windows Phone and Windows RT is the weak side of this device. But still, it remains a multipurpose Windows tablet with keyboard.

The Microsoft's Surface is a multitasking device specifically interesting for those who need Office in their life and work. Kickstand and Touch Cover present significant advantages, but there are some weak sides. The software is not ready for the newest programs, so there is a lack of applications for Windows RT and tablet's performance leaves a bit to be desired as well. But considering all the specs we can say for sure - this tablet is a pretty decent model that you can get for more than affordable price. 

The screen of the tablet Chuwi Hi10 is based on an IPS matrix with a diagonal of 10.1 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. This model has an air gap between the glass and the matrix, which is difficult to call a shortcoming: with a screen of this size, the interlayer can help to avoid screen's damage if the device falls, which will save you a lot of money on expensive repairs. The claimed peak brightness is 350 nits. 1920x1200 pixels resolution is the standard for a tablet with this diagonal of screen. Screen brightness is suitable for home or office work but it will not be enough for working in the bright sunlight environment. Also, this device supports a brand stylus. It's not perfect and sometimes misses small interface elements but overall it delivers a sufficient performance.

There are two built-in speakers but the quality of sound leaves a lot to be desired. You can always use headphones, however, it'll not replace the lack of quality speakers' sound.

Cameras are the real weakness of this tablet. Both front-facing and rear-facing cameras can only be good for video conferencing. Making a decent photo will prove to be quite a challenge.

The CHUWI Hi10 is a tablet with nice specs and a quality screen. The manufacturer decided to change Android to Remix OS and we can safely say it's a good call since Remix OS is a better choice when it comes to operating a tablet with a keyboard or a mouse.

But this device is not perfect and a weak camera is not the only flaw. The CPU frequency tends to fall down when Windows is highly loaded and the speakers definitely could have been a bit better.

It is common knowledge that every portable digital device, be it a smartphone or a tablet PC has a number of expansion ports. With that, the Fusion5 offers probably the optimal combination of such ports. Having the mini HDMI, USB and MicroUSB ports on board this tablet model enables the compatibility with a very wide modern data input and output devices. Needless to say, having such ports diversity under the hood makes loading any type of files to the Fusion5 for its further processing and output to external devices an easy task. Combining the functionality of a personal organizer, mini TV, and a mini PC this Windows tablet by the Fusion is very handy for those moving from one place to another during their work.

With its 3.5-mm audio out the Fusion5 can be used as a sound source for an external amplifier with a pair of speakers, in-wall & in-ceiling speakers or a multi-channel acoustic system that includes powered subwoofers.

The Linx Vision's controller is manufactured to simulate an Xbox One controller, with a similar disposition, if not the same, to that of one-two analog sticks, a directional pad, a trigger, ABXY buttons and shoulder buttons, Start/Back buttons, and an Xbox Guide button. Xbox user will not feel any inconvenience reaching for the buttons which may have been an issue in the past.

The Linx Vision 8 is good enough to run the full desktop applications for Windows 10 and small enough to be placed in a pocket. You can run it in the ordinary tablet mode when you need it as a tablet and run it in PC mode when you need to dig deeper into the system's folders. 32GB of storage is generally more than enough but you can expend it with a micro-SD card (read here how to choose a micro SD card).

The battery life should be enough for up to 7 hours of playing but it drains fairly quickly when used for streaming.

The Linx Vision 8 is a highly functional pocket-sized PC. This Windows 10 tablet is cheap and it's probably one of the best solutions to portable PC gaming for now. This is a fully-functional gaming Windows tablet. Of course, its lack of 64-bit software support and the shortage of internal storage make it hard to use it without a microSD card, but the advantages completely overshadow the disadvantages.
