40 GBP Windows 8.1 tablet - 'Snorlax - Jan 26, 2015

I know these specs aren't incredible or anything, but the reviews are pretty damn good on these three tablets.
You can save £30 when buying a new tablet, if you send in your old tablet. I'm not sure which tablets you can send in, but you can read more here

7 inch tablet
8 inch tablet
10 inch tablet - Not a great deal.

This means you can get a fully working Windows 8.1 tablet with 1GB RAM and an Intel Atom "quad core" CPU, for just about £40 or $60.
If you don't have an old tablet, this is still a pretty cheap tablet. £70 for a tablet with Windows 8.1... damn. And it's x86 not RT.

Bought the 8 inch version for my girlfriend over the christmas and they're a great little tablet. 7 inches would be too small for running the full windows 8.1 os but 8 inches is just fine. The 1GB ram performs surprisingly well in it.

It also comes with a year of office 365 so it's worth the price just for that - a great investment for a student ^.^

Ah nice to hear that! How does she like the actual tablet? Does it run smoothy or does it stutter a lot? Also, what's the boot up time like?

Ah yeah I looked that one up too, but this is cheaper. Did you buy it from ProShop?

The tablet runs smoothly for her use, just general browsing, facebook and skype, although the camera quality is pretty dismal (but still usable).

The boot up time is around 10 seconds or so.
