So I posted about this last week in off topic because when I heard about this device I was really excited. I wanted a tablet that could update firmware, change settings, and back up files while in my car away from home. I originally got a galaxy tab 4 7" tablet and it failed in pretty much every way possible for me. it ended up being a web browsing device while in my living room. The reason I am posting this here instead of off topic is because I am using it specifically just for use with dashcams.
This winbook was less than half the price I paid for my galaxy tab last year, and STILL half the price. the hardware is hard to compare since they run different operating systems but very similar regardless.

So the main reason I wanted it, is because I wanted to use GUI format on the go, but my $1000+ Surface Pro is not always with me. I also wanted to use the Mobius utility on the go, but it hardly ever worked on my galaxy tab android app version. 90 percent of the time it would fail to save or update the settings. I gave up on it.
So with this tablet, for half the price at $70, i can use GUI format, the mobius utility, the Innovv utilities, VLC, you get a YEAR OF OFFICE 365, full sized USB so you can hook up a usb hub and use a keyboard and mouse, or since it has bluetooth, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, micro HDMI to hook up to a monitor, this thing is great and affordable like none other. I don't plan on using it with a keyboard and mouse, I plan on just keeping it my car actually, but for someone looking for a dirt cheap windows computer, this is a great option. I bought a $12 4 port USB hub and best buy today, and basically I have a desktop computer with my existing monitor (i actually bought the hub for my surface pro).
I use an iphone which means I can't stick a micro sd card into it and use the mobius app or back up files. iphones are only good for dashcams if you are using a blackvue basically, or now lukas/innovv c4. my galaxy tab was suppose to supplement it but failed.
So anyways, here is my video review (excuse any screwed up audio, my narration AGAIN was all F'ed up windows movie maker being terrible when I tried to change some parts), I love the device if you could not tell:
