Wow, they're practically giving that away. Especially if you are going to buy a year's subscription to Office anyways.

Holy Moses! Checked with Canadian site and it costs CAN$99

The Office 365 Personal is not included in the Canadian site and the Microsoft Complete is CA$99 vs US $39 in the US site.

Great deal I have two 10 in windows tablets and love them needed a smaller one though for my handbag. Husband wanted Microsoft Office for business. This is a great deal
thanks for posting.

It may be a better deal to go with the HP Steam 8. It has an 8" screen instead of 7, a better camera and it also comes with 200 MB of data per month for free on T Mobile. It is a 4G so you would not need a hotspot adapter or a wifi spot. It also has GPS. It sells for $150 on Amazon.

I looked at the one that Techman writes about, but decided that I wanted the 4G option, GPS and a bigger screen. The one mentioned by techman does not have these options.

Thanks, techman, I might check that out.

Awhile back I believe it was you that posted about a Brother printer. I put it on CamelCamelCamel. For those of you who don't know, it is a web site in conjunction with Amazon that will track an item, you put in the price you want, and it lets you know if and when the item lowers to that price. I got the printer for 70.00.

Tablet came today. Nice! Like a small computer (and they refer to is as a PC during setup), just like my HP laptop. Currently setting it up. A cover with keyboard I had for another tablet that never really worked fits it. Haven't tried the keyboard out yet; I have to plug it into the power slot and I want to be sure it's fully charged first. But there's an icon in the system tray that you can tap to bring up the keyboard on screen whenever you want, and then close it out of your way when you're done typing.

But it's very responsive to touch. Better than the smart phone screen. And it's similar enough to my little HP laptop with Win8.1 that it doesn't feel strange.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

Can any of these be retrofitted to use Win 7?

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

I don't know but it boots up to a normal Windows desktop. I hated win8 with a passion but 8.1 is better and this one is very Win7-user friendly. I download Windows Live Mail to it last night and will set it up to retrieve my main email addresses. I'll be trying to use it to enter a couple of credit card kiosk shops tomorrow at the airport (I'll have my full size laptop with me as well to do tax returns on but I'm going to see if I can do the whole shop report on this one). Since there is a camera built in, I hope to not have to use the cell phone or scanner and bounce things through Drop Box to get them into a report. I'm hoping it will do the whole thing. It's really just a miniature computer and works just like the big ones.

If I add the Kindle reading app to it, I won't have to carry my Kindle when I travel any more. If I set up Skype (which came on it automatically) I could even use it for a phone in a pinch.

I just need to keep my wifi with me so I don't have to hunt down public hotspots that might not be secure. And it takes the same charging plug as my phone, kindle, and wifi.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

Windows 8 is not bad, yet Windows 9 is absolute, 100% certified garbage. To think that the same platform is on their Nokia Lumia cell phone product line just goes to prove how badly Microsoft missed the boat on providing a quality product to the consumer.

Hope that the $79 tablet works out well, even though that Apple is the better quality option.

So far it failed to be able to upload photos to a Sassie report. Sigh. It also wanted me to load a bunch of stuff when I put Chrome on it to update the drivers and a bunch of other stuff. Made it sound like this was a free app, then right out the gate it wanted me to upgrade to the paid version. I don't know if by refusing to play I kept it from loading whatever it needed to load the photos. I had to do it on my full sized laptop instead (I was traveling but had both devices with me). I was bummed because I was hoping to be able to report the shop from the tablet.

I'll have to play with it after tax season when I get back into mystery shopping.

Time to build a bigger bridge.
