Firstly, this iEdge tablet is designed more for businesses and not so much for recreational use, though saying that I have used it around the house for checking emails and browsing the internet but that's about it.It really does come into it's own when I use it at work for stock taking and audits, it's rugged design and hand strap on the back gives me the confidence to use it while on flight stairs and hold it with just one hand.You'll need to load your own software to use the inbuilt scanner function for a business, but once you have the scanner works really well and a lot better than the apps that require the use of the camera.But, if you use the Windows search function and then scan the barcode on something like a packet of biscuits it will bring up some results for that product and a price comparison.The tablet is quite heavy, this is because of the thick rubber case that it sits in, and from what I can see, the case can't be removed.The battery can be replaced by means of a panel on the back, I don't have a spare battery but I can see this being useful if the need to use the tablet over various shifts.The cameras are ok but don't expect stunning pictures as they are only 5mp front and 8mp on the rear, but they are perfect for taking photographs of damaged goods and things like that.It also only has 128gb SSD which will restrict how many applications you load onto the device but the 8gb of ram is more than enough and good to see.

This tablet has some good features, but it's hard to recommend overall.The ruggedisation seems good. The case is robust, and the rubber plugs seal all the sockets tightly (these are held in with a screw, so can be removed if preferred. The screen is quite bright - on full brightness, it is entirely readable in direct sunlight in mid-summer (perhaps slightly washed-out, but not in a problematic way). The supplied USB-C power adapter works well (like lots of other power adapters at this point). The rugged case comes with a detachable hand-strap on the back, which makes holding it with one hand fairly effective. There are no other attachment points, so I don't think you'd be attaching it around your neck/lanyard etc.However, perhaps the biggest draw-back is that the description says the display is 1920 x 1200 pixels, whereas it actually maxes out at 1280x800. That's a significant difference. The processor is quite low-powered, so installing all the updates needed when I first turned it on took about 6 hours. Running flat-out for that time, the processor got really hot - so the tablet case was too hot to touch. This was a concern - until I convinced myself it was the processor, not the battery overheating.The initial set-up was a bit disconcerting. In the box, there is a leaflet describing how to operate the tablet with Windows10, but it's actually supplied with Windows 11. The basic configuration did not have the on-screen keyboard configured to pop up - so although it did during set-up, there was no way to type (e.g. into a web search box) once it was up and running. I had to google around to find instructions on how to turn it on. No doubt if you're buying this for a business context, you'll have a set-up ready to go which has the needed software - and keyboards - configured.For the price, the tablet is therefore quite disappointing. If it really had the screen resolution indicated, it might be reasonable value for money. As it stands, I wouldn't recommend it.

Without doubt, this is a tablet built to last and everything about it lives up to the "rugged" label. It comes in a very unassuming box with no real branding on the outer. Apart from the tablet itself, the box contains a charger and a small handbook for Windows 10 and how to use tablet mode!! The handbook is, of course, outdated as the tablet ships with Windows 11 but, as well as that, Tablet Mode has been deprecated in Windows 11!Once switched on, it is a question of installing Windows 11 and personalising it to suit your needs. The tablet has a barcode reader, but no software to use it is bundled with the tablet which indicates that this is very definitely aimed at industries already signed up to maximise this feature (retail, libraries, etc).The surprising feature was the 8GB of memory available which helps boost the Intel Celeron N5 100 processor to run Win11. All the interfaces are protected by rubberised covers on the sides of the tablet and, rather pleasingly, one such cover reveals an ethernet socket for much faster broadband & network connections.The sound is tinny but this is not a feature that this tablet is designed for. The layout of the buttons on the top are nicely laid out and is another sign that this is a device aimed at a commercial end user and not the average android/ipad user.With MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certifications, this tablet should be a valuable asset in a multitude of commercial environments.
