Nothing wrong with 2g of ram for a tablet. It's not a laptop, people won't be running big games on it or working on CAD drawings. Windows 8 and 10 have a very small memory footprint compared to Windows 7, since they designed from the ground up to be tablet friendly.
32G of storage is fine too, that's more than all but high end cell phones have, you won't find a $99 cell with 32G of flash. Modern tablet's are not intended or designed to operate in a vacuum. People buy them to surf the Internet, so use the Internet for storage. Plenty of free sites out there offering lots of storage options.
Even the screen is decent! 720p support and IPS panel, so you get good viewing angles.
7 amp-hour battery is a bit small for 10", keep the charger nearby.
No GPS module, so it won't work out of the box as a navigator, you'd have to add a cheap usb or bluetooth gps
Comes with a external "keyboard" runs Win8.1 and is "dirt cheap" compared to a laptop..
What do you think some folks will be considering to do with it?
Yep, buy it to use LIKE A LAPTOP..
With 2gig of Ram you WILL be limited to running pretty much ONE program/APP at a time anyway so there is no real "advantage" to buying something with a OS that is designed to run many programs/APPs at one time..
Just warning folks who may be on hunt for a cheap "laptop".. A "laptop" it IS NOT.
Honestly, if you WANT a "tablet" buy something with Android, it is a very "light" OS with a very small foot print and you don't have the issue of MS borking your device with "updates" with no real "QA" before they send them out (yeah, they HAVE sent out several "updates" to "10" users which resulted in you LOSING your "wireless" access, try fixing that on a "tablet" with no wired network option).
You can get a 10" Acer Iconia with Quad core Atom processor for $139 at Sam's.. Much better than Windoze 8.1 on a tablet..
