Default New toy (for TOAF)

Linx 7" Windows tablet from Staples - £49.99 in store, TOAF runs on it just fine and because it's running Windows 8.1 it finds the drivers for the USB leads found on ebay. Mine will live in the glovebox along with the lead.

I got mine today and it's now updating itself to Windows 10, plus it includes a year's subscription to Office 365 (including allowance to install on a phone and a PC/laptop too).

Word of warning though; if you're eyesight isn't so good or you've got massive fingers then this'll be frustrating to use due to it's small size.
