» It has been a week and I really like my inexpensive 12-inch Chinese tablet made by Chuwi. I just added a 64GB MicroSD card that immediately popped up as D: drive when I booted into Windows 10. This will be the first Windows 10 based machine that is all mine and so far I have been impressed. The unit has no problems running a program like Visio and I have already used it for a presentation at a client's site. The screen is excellent and I like the way the unit notes when I have disconnected it from the keyboard and asks if I want to change to tablet mode under Windows. I used the Wi-Fi to connect to my mobile phone acting as a hot spot and there were no issues at all. Battery life has been good but that is one aspect I have not had the chance to really test out and reading some blog entries it takes a few charges to reach the full capacity.
