Portable Linx 7/8/10 Owners Thread

Let us know how FTL behaves, if that runs then im sure a lot of steam based content will as well.

Is the max SD card size 64Gb on these? thinking of lobbing a chunk of my steam library on there if FTL behaves

 

I have FTL as a stand-alone as well as in my steam library.

Unfortunately, my Linx 7 hasn't arrived today. Looks like tomorrow (hopefully).

 

Very odd, It must be that its looking for a HID input device but is not picking up the touch screen as one (probably not actually coded) I'd expect at some point there will be a patch for that though how useful it will be would remain to be seen.

Gaming wise that looks pretty promising, OK we know itll never run far cry (someone please try) but it should be able to play quite a chunk of the steam library well enough. Think ill be ordering one after work. It should be here before christmas too!

 

I dunno, if the CPU with 2GB RAM can apparently run Crysis, then original Far Cry shouldn't be a problem.

Any new game though, I'd imagine you might have the problem of not enough space for it, let alone being able to run it,

 

Hmmm shame that games I thought theoretically would've worked fine with a touch screen don't
Removes some of the temptation....

Don't particularly want to have to use a mouse, to me the whole point of a tablet is portability, and the ability to use anywhere and a requiring a mouse limits that somewhat (bet it will also impact battery life...)

 

these low storage capacity devices use wimboot, so you would be able to put 8.1 pro on them, if you are able to create the wim files, there is a chat about doing that here

 

Anyone noticed the charging time for the tablet being quite long.

Went on charge thing morning at about 10am and by 3:30pm it was at 97%.

 

Gareth you should try Civ 5 windows 8 touch enabled version, assuming you get to play any before the game crashes

 

My Linx 7 is still a no show.

 

My Linx 10 arrived, 64Gb SD card plugged in an steam installed. Ran KSP its slow but perfectly playable if you turn down the pretty bits. Keyboard is a bit naff but works. Lobbed some music and a couple of films in to see how it behaved. movies run smoothly music quality is fine for what this is. Only minor gripe is the mini USB to USB cable. The housing could have taken a full sized USB port

Not sure what other games ill lob at it Sup Comm would kill the poor thing.



Cerbrus, charging for mine seems OK WiFi is on an display brightness set to about 25%

 

Mine arrived today.

Can we all just take a minute, step back and revel in the fact you can get a quad core, ips, 32GB tablet for less than sixty quid delivered.

That is just incredible.

 

You can now get the Linx 8 for £50. I decided to join the club.

 

Looks like they didn't last long, .

That would have been a cracking bargain, especially with £30 cashback. £20 for the tablet, how much are these things costing Linx to make?????



Ours now won't load the windows store, just gets stuck on the green store loading page with the little circle thing continuously going round. Tried a few solutions on the net but none of them have worked.



Also yesterday I may have put Firefox into Fullscreen and then realised that I had no way of getting it out of fullscreen, . Had to get my spare keyboard out and use the OTG cable to get an F11 key,



Might start monitoring the charging times, for the cost of the thing I doubt the mains charger is particularly high quality,

 

I got mine today - not done much with it yet, other than a quick browse around, but it's very snappy and responsive. Granted, it's a fresh install so it hasn't been burdened with the usual crap the gradually drags windows to it's knees, but I'm still very impressed.

The £50 10" tablets didn't last long, unsurprisingly. They are the 2GB models with double the memory bandwidth too.

You can close an application by dragging your finger down from top centre of the screen.

 

Forgot about Task Manager. I'm stuck thinking of it as an android tablet rather than a small but fully formed windows machine,
