Interesting iPad like tablet that dual boots windows 7 and android

[etc6849]

A few of the specs: 9.7" IPS TFT LCD at 1024x768, Intel Atom N455, 2GB DDR3, Bluetooth, 3G and Wifi. A nice looking tablet if you get it for $414. I would plan on having to add Windows 7 OEM as the ad states "supports windows 7." Probably has a trial version installed or something...

These things are cheap drop shipped from China with order fullfillment by alibaba express (with an escrowed transaction).

I don't have experience with Alibaba Express; but do with DHGate. I have ordered "stuff" from them. Its slow but no issues to current date.

The DHgate experience started on Ebay where a vendor suggested to utilize DHGate.

I'm not making any recommendations; just writing from experience.

DHGate

Thanks Pete. DHGate looks similar to Alibaba. I'm guessing these types of sites are where small resellers like folks on ebay or your local flea market (flea markets in the south have tons of booths with Chinese merchandise) make their Chinese contacts. If only I studied Mandarin and not French in school!

PS: Since we're on the topic of resellers, have you ever purchased from http://www.snapav.com/ ? Is it easy to setup an account?

The only reason I brought up DHGate was that some electronic parts vendors on Ebay that I have dealt with (more than one) have suggested that I utilize DHGate to purchase their products; which I have.

Maybe another reason is that I still every once in a while still utilize D&H Distributing.

Mostly though used them in the 80's and 90's and only a little bit in the early 2000's.

Never had a problem or issue with D&H Distributing.


I have not dealt with SnapAV. They do spend a lot of money on advertising is about all I know about them.
