Windows is not having the success on tablets that Microsoft would like, mainly because it failed to attract manufacturers with its version for ARM processors; Little by little things are changing and we are seeing more and more models that are betting on x86 processors from Intel and Windows 8.1 for their models. The low range is especially benefiting from the lower prices of these processors and operating system licenses, to the point that Chinese manufacturers are finally daring to launch low-cost models with the Microsoft system. That is the case of Emdoor, a company that surely will be unknown to the majority but that already has a 7-inch tablet with Windows for 65 dollars.
Ultra-cheap tablets with Windows
Although not as famous as Lenovo or others, these Chinese companies are important in that they appeal to a user base that Microsoft would otherwise not be able to achieve; this is a sector in which every euro counts and the technical characteristics take a back seat. In particular, this tablet has a seven-inch screen and 1024600 resolution; the processor is an Intel AtomZ3735G accompanied by 1 GB of RAM. Yes, let’s not kid ourselves, that this tablet costs 65 dollars has its consequences, especially on a very poor screen, but it is the price to pay.
This is not the only Chinese tablet with Windows that we expect in the coming months. PiPO has also announced its own model, this time in an eight-inch, 1280800 resolution format, with a quad-core Intel3735F processor; highlights that in addition to a front camera (2 MP) also has a rear, something that usually falls down the road on cheap tablets. It costs $ 81, and although it does not seem like a big jump compared to the $ 65 of the previous one, in reality in this sector it is a whole world; However it is also a much more recommended device.
China has discovered Windows for tablets, no doubt thanks to Microsoft’s new policy. Although we will not see them in stores, it is not difficult to find them in specialized online stores. How will you face Android now that they are on an equal footing?
