amazon Viewsonic Viewpad 10 reviews
Design
Overall, the ViewPad 10 owns a big screen and has a unique feature to date is running both Windows 7 and Android. The kit comes quite simply include a charger, two discs Windows 7, and Android.
ViewPad 7 is a product designed with slightly rough and lack of creativity, and ViewPad 10 is no better. Important criteria of a tablet are lightweight, so with double thickness iPad 2, ViewPad 10 is difficult to catch the eye of most users, especially women. The plastic casing feels not sure; not on the screen edges rounded cause discomfort when holding.
With a reputation for producing world-famous screens, many hoped ViewPad 10 would make excellent images. But as hopes, the more disappointed many: ViewPad 10 screen image quality only inadequate. Dimensions 10.1″, but a resolution of 600 x 1024 screen that feels flat. Image quality is only acceptable but very narrow view; the phenomenon appeared to mutate when moving from a 90-degree viewing angle (45 degrees on each side of the screen).
Not the case; Viewsonic pretty sloppy when ViewPad 10 is only equipped for a front camera 1.3-megapixel resolution.
ViewPad 10 has three buttons. After you press the Power, the device will ask if you want to reboot the machine or turn it off completely. But the humor in that the Android operating system completely shut down the screen remains in “hibernation.” Another thing is that the home button works as the Back button: to keep you at the new Home 1 was put on the main screen of the machine. Meanwhile, the Back button opens the effects toolbar? Do not understand how this arrangement has nothing comfortable or not, but it will not help many people confuse this strange feature.
At the back, we easily found two speakers located at the left corner and a heat sink in the lower slot. But after only 30 minutes of use, ViewPad 10 has become quite hot.
Hardware interface
ViewPad 10 is powered by the Intel Pine Trail N455 1.66 GHz, 2 GB DDR3 RAM helps systems run smoothly. If using Android, you will be surprised with the tasks to be executed extremely fast.
ViewPad 10 can launch Windows 7 in just under 1 minute. But part of the reason is that there are quite a few pre-installed software, the speed may reduce if you install more programs.
Instead of using Android 2.2 Froyo as the ViewPad 7, the device that uses Android version 1.6 is pretty old. Leave a Viewsonic’s negligence; they seemed unenthusiastic for Android when Android Market is not available.
In contrast, Windows 7 can be seen as a strong point of this device. Manipulation used with touch screen quite accurate and easy, user-friendly interface. Still missing some important software such as Office, but compared to Android 1.6, the screen keyboard on the Windows 7 operating more outstanding.
Camera and multimedia applications
As mentioned, that is difficult to expect a 1.3-megapixel camera of the ViewPad 10, which will release the photos “good.” ViewPad 10’s speakers sound pretty, but it’s a problem when you have to use the tools available in Android to adjust the volume because the body does not have this functionality.
The playback feature of ViewPad 10 was quite bad on Android, but it is very important when using Windows 7. Colour quite honest and smooth, once again; if Viewsonic painstakingly cared for the screen, the ViewPad 10 results will be much more positive.
With a 32GB version, hard drive space can be cramped when using Windows 7. Fortunately, ViewPad 10 has a microSD memory card slot supporting up to 32GB. Users will be comfortably installed software, games, and movies without having to worry about storage problems.
Wifi connectivity and external portals
Thanks to the tune of 802.11 b / g / n, ViewPad 10 can catch Wifi relatively stable. The GPS feature to help accurately locate your position on a map and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity allow wireless devices such as a keyboard. Two USB ports and a VGA port can connect a mouse, keyboard, and screen to turn ViewPad 10 into a desktop.
Battery life
ViewPad 10 is equipped with a 3200mAh Li-ion battery for battery life, only 2 hours of normal use, and a Wireless connection. A disappointment compared with most tablets on the market.
Summary
ViewPad 10 is a product that has a lot of weaknesses, from the old Android operating system to poor quality screen, low battery usage time. However, when using Windows 7, you can easily see several strengths of this product, along with having plenty of handy connectors. So if you’re only interested in Windows 7 on a tablet, this is a device that can be acceptable, but there are still many other products on the market that is worth more.
