Voyo A6 alternative? - Windows 8 General

VOYO A6 10.1 inch Windows 8.1 Tablet PC
Out of all the chinese windows tablets available in the market, this is the only tablet that I've found with a usb socket on the keyboard (might also have its own battery). Which is one of my optional requirements for a tablet.
Knowing chinese tablets are copies of other chinese tablets, does any one of you knows what is the main/original or alternative of this tablet?
Thanks.

New way of home computing: 1 hybrid tablet/laptop only, with hdmi to a big display?

I'm thinking about going to a simpler home computing experience: replace a separate tablet and a desktop computer with just one Windows 8 tablet-laptop hybrid, one with enough graphics power to run an external, high resolution display.
E.g. use the one computer device as 1) tablet, 2) laptop with an attached keyboard and 3) dock it to an external display, keyboard and mouse and run it as a "desktop" system.
Some of the hybrids seem to come with Core i processors, Windows 8 (full, not RT) and HDMI (albeit the micro kind). Will they be able to do what I describe above?
Do you think this is generally doable?

Ps. One day I think phones can do the above, e.g. act as phone, tablet, laptop and desktop pc, with different peripherals attached for different computing needs. 1 processor, 1 system, 1 times the personal data. But we're not quite there yet.
I don't know about other brands but Lenovo has the laptop/tablet combo Thinkpad X Tablet. I would wait until they come with Windows 8 out of the box, but the current X230t comes with an ivy bridge core i3 or i5 processor, the high end ones with i7. The graphics can handle two HD screens via DisplayPort and VGA, and two more if you have the dock. It is a convertible tablet, with the screen attached on a swivel that can flip back onto the keyboard and "click" in. It comes with a stylus that is very similar to the S pen (Wacom digitizer, pressure sensitive) minus the software "hover" features found on the Note 2.
The only problem with this is it is pricy... currently $1479 with the core i7, 4gb RAM (standard), 320GB storage, bluetooth 4.0. However you do get the industrial, apple-rivaling build quality that can survive many drops. Also, if you don't want the dock (I find it kind of pointless) and want more juice you can buy a "sheet" battery that literally fits right under the whole laptop, increasing its thickness by a little to double your battery life.
About phones, check out http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android/features-and-specs. This should work with Motorola's lapdock, (sadly, they are discontinued) and soon we may see a "tablet adapter" for phones that come with an external battery and a large screen that you just plug the phone into, switching Android into "tablet mode," built into the OS already.
Answering myself, this one looks promising: http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/acer-iconia-w700-6465/4505-3126_7-35472851.html

[Q] Wacom graphic tablet via OTG, possible?

Hi, I bought this tablet because of the stylus and the drawing capablilities, but on youtube I stumbled across a video where one guy attaches a wacom graphic tablet to a Nexus 7 and works even with pressure sensivity, I tried this with my EVGA Tegra Note 7 but didn't work, do you guys know if there is something I have to do before connecting it via OTG? maybe I have to install Wacom drivers to the tablet. The wacom lights up when I connect it to the tablet but doesn't recognize it like a mouse input.
The title of the video in question is "Google Nexus 7 Tablet & OTG Cable for USB Host Connection" I can't post links so please search for it :silly:.
Thanks in advance.
Please forgive my english, is not my natural language.
It's possible the Nexus 7 had a custom rom installed with some kind of drivers added. Impossible to tell without the video. All (well, almost all) of the source code for the Tegra Note 7 is available so that you may compile your own version, including drivers if you find any. I doubt that the stock AOSP kernel supports Wacom tablets out of the box.
On Linux (and therefore Android), the drivers are part of the kernel, so unless someone develops a kernel with the Wacom drivers included, it won't work. Perhaps someone could take Shaky's kernel source and add those drivers and see if it works? I'd give it a go except any time I try anything involving code, a baby unicorn dies.
Yeah it happens to me too, Peta sued me for the unicorns. But a friend of mine that has the same tablet is helping me to make it work, we have the drivers (I think they are the right ones) and maybe we can get it to work.

Wacom tablets (Intuos, Intuos Pro, etc) are compatible with Mac OS X and Windows only. So You can't find a wacom android driver for your Android OS tablet .

Cheapo 10" Tablet, your recommendations. Will want to clean install OS

Hi, I am interested in buying a cheapo windows 8.1 with bing tablet and need help picking one from ebay. I will want to format and clean OS install
Can I have a recommendation on a model.. Budget no more than $300 Australia Dollars or around the 240 US.$
I am an IT techie so I know the ins and outs of installing os onto laptops and desktops.. i inderstand BIOS's and understand technology fairly well.
Tho never actually used a portable windows device. Do most of these devices have bios like a desktop? Startup selection hdd vs usb hdd etc?
I will want to end up deleting the recovery... Delete the android os if included and install 8.1 with bing clean, or eventually purchase a 8.1/10 pro for business use.
If I can have some info on whats good and whats not, i would really appreciate that.
Chuwi Vi10 64GB + Keyboard around $255 shipped to Australia from Gearbest.com
Cheapest one I could find. I myself is wanting this tablet, but might want to wait till Cherry Trail tablets are out.
Currently have a Voyo A1 Mini 8" Tablet. Win10 TP, removed android.
can you tell me how you went about doing this?
do these hand helds operate like a computer? same sort of bios settings?
how do you enter bios on your model?
is it anything like changing roms for mobile phones like samsung galaxy for example where you need USB cable connected and download roms onto it? or it is actually a fairly simple operation?
you can install drivers? where did you source them from?
any other comments would be great...

I look into it as a handheld portable PC.
UEFI is what most Windows Tablet is using.
Installation, operation and use is exactly as you would expect it as with other Windows PCs, limited to its own hardware, and/or the OS you put on it. Search Ubuntu/Linux on chinese tablets.
You should do your assignments more before delving into this.
On a personal level, I can see myself selling my i3 15.6" laptop (I only retro game, and used mainly for Java, Visual Studios and non-hardware heavy) and my Voyo A1 Mini tablet, to get a good 2-in-1 PC. I need/want a more compact portable PC. And same as you, I've got a VERY limited budget.
To share to you my current requirements (deal-breakers if not met), and must not be lower/missing, to completely replace the said above PCs:
1. 64GB internal capacity (eMMC 5.0, better yet SSD) (higher capacity will be more than welcome)
2. HDMI output
3. Dock-in Keyboard supported (hate bluetooth keyboards)
4. At least 1 FULL USB slot (hoping a USB C tablet will be released soon)
5. A dedicated power input socket
6. Have decided to wait for Cherry Trail CPUs (hoping to be released end of September to holiday season)
7. Decent capacity for battery
8. 2GB Ram for an x86 OS (4GB on x64 OS) (more is more than welcome)
Optional:
Keyboard dock to have output sockets too (usb), built-in battery. similar to Asus T100. Hopefully newer tablets will have full x64 OSes.
Still.. to each their own, on how they'll be using the device/s.

Is it possible to install Windows on the Android YB1-X90F?

Hey all,
I just got two Lenovo Yoga Book tablets, both are YB1-X90F models. One is dead (no power at all) and the other has a broken keyboard. My plan is to carry the (presumably) functional keyboard to the otherwise functioning tablet, and go from there.
I've seen these running Windows 10 and Android respectively. According to the specs I can see from the device itself in cpu-z as well as the internet searching that I have conducted, it appears as if the Android tablet uses an Intel CPU. My question then, is whether or not it is possible to simply install windows 10 on this thing? I would assume that it would be impossible because of the different bootloaders, but perhaps I'm wrong?
Alternatively, is there a newer ROM I could install on it to make it more secure and usable in 2022?
TIA
