I had to look it up first but on my RCA tablet I can connect a external battery to the Micro HDMI.

Just to share a bit -- I had the opposite experience. My wife impulse-bought an HP Netbook. 1.8GHz Atom, 2GB, Windows 7 Starter (or was it 'Basic').
She's a light user and found it to be awful. I'm a heavy user and found it to be downright horrible.
Last year, I found it wasting away in some drawer and I put Lubuntu on it. Now it's tolerable. ๐
I guess everyone's experiences are different.

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).

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
