About this deal

There are several SIM card sizes, regular, micro and nano. It is possible to use an adapter or to have the SIM card made smaller. The best way to store a lithium-ion battery is at a temperature between 5 and 45 degrees Celcius. It's also a good idea make sure the battery is about 67% charged before it is stored away.

While streaming I suffered very little lag – at least nothing that I could notice – and while I won’t be using this setup to play online competitively, it does offer me some single player solace when I can’t get to the TV. I did find that every so often the controller inputs suffered some delay, with characters walking further than I had pressed, but it was sporadic so I put this down to my home network limitations rather than that of the tablet. The Linx 8″ Microsoft Windows Tablet is a fantastic Windows tablet that comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1 with Bing as default. We recently installed Windows 8.1 Pro on several of these tablets for domain functionality only to find lots of the Linx 8″ Tablet drivers missing when the Windows 8.1 Pro installation was complete.The cradle fits neatly around the tablet, giving access to the headphone and micro USB ports. The cradle features two lozenge shaped handles. On the left is the LS, left trigger/bumper and the dpad, and on the right is the RS, right trigger/bumper and AXBY buttons. The cradle is comfortable to hold and the handgrips feel great – similar to the Xbox Elite’s rubberised grips. No, this is not necessary. With older batteries this was the case. Lithium-ion batteries can be charged after use and be taken off the charger when needed. It's best to use a microfiber cloth, possibly with a specialized detergent. Never use kitchen towels or other paper cloths, these will leave scratches! IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity and is a (often) unique number that is used to identify mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones and protect them against theft.

The tablet synced perfectly to my MS account, Groove and Xbox. Having used iPad, Nexus and Kindle, the Linx and Windows 10 is right up there with iOS – edging it with the ability to sync and play games from my Xbox – where it does fall down though is with the internal speaker sound and the screen colour.

All told I definitely like this tablet more than I thought I would. It's surprisingly solid and would make for a great gift for the kids. The usual caveats will apply to game streaming, but this is certainly a more elegant solution than a regular small tablet with cables hanging off it and a controller plugged in.

It may sound like a minor point, but I really like the three external buttons on the Linx 8; the circular power button and separated volume buttons are raised and easy to find without any mistake. I’m quite happy to admit that I’ve fallen victim to inflating my gamerscore with Windows 10 PC and mobile games – some are even pretty addictive – but when I do feel the need to stream my Xbox One to the tablet, the Linx’s gaming cradle snaps on easily with little fuss and no wires.
