Linx Vision 8 inch Tablet with Xbox Controller - Black

Product Information

I've had a few issues with mine, and ended up reinstalling windows only to find a lot of missing drivers. The handlebars feel solid, the grippy material is, well, grippy enough, and it's not an unpleasant thing to hold.

When I try and boot from USB I get a blue screen asking for language selection (US is the only available english language) so I select that, then I get a choice of what I want to boot from so I select UEFI Sandisk (my USB drive) but it just goes in a loop from there on in, it appears to boot from the stick as the blue light flashes rapidly but then takes me back to the same boot menu. The speakers are clear but lack any depth to the bass – no problem if you have a decent headset and my Bluetooth ASTRO A38 worked perfectly. Above the screen is the only other feature to note up front beyond the screen, and that's the 2MP front-facing camera. I don't suppose anyone who has updated their bios would be able to check to see if the new version has added PXE boot support?The tablet itself has a good weight to it and is a solid build with a great finish to both the casing and the glass. I’m used to these sticks being quite close together and just by moving them apart it completely threw me off.

I really like the controller cradle, but as well as it works, you can’t beat the layout of a good old fashioned controller and I’ll certainly be looking into picking up a micro USB adaptor so I can plug my Xbox One controller into the tablet.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.

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. It’s certainly nowhere near as vibrant as the pixel colour of my iPad Air or even my Google Nexus, but at least the games looked super sharp. Pro was using far too much space (I was down to 9gb remaining after doing Windows Updates) despite deleting temp files etc. If I can work out a useful way of extracting and posting the recovery partition I will let you know.I'd already made a recovery USB stick (using the built in tool) and removed the recovery partition to increase available space. The "About" in Windows now says Linx 8 instead of 810B and the touch screen doesn't work properly, even in the Volume+/Power boot menu.
