Linx Vision 8 inch Tablet with Xbox Controller - Black

Product Information

The only other sound issue I had was when I used the chat feature over Xbox LIVE with the tablet’s internal mic – my friends could hear themselves when they spoke. The 2MP rear-facing camera sits in the top left of the rear panel, and at the bottom are two separate stereo speakers, which are each covered by a metallic grille. The Linx 8″ Microsoft Windows Tablet is a fantastic Windows tablet that comes preinstalled with Windows 8. A few people on here have bought the new Linx 7", 8" and 10" windows tablets that have just come out.

The usual caveats will apply to game streaming, but this is certainly a more elegant solution than a regular small tablet with cables hanging off it and a controller plugged in. Not all of us have the luxury of a man cave, which means now and again instead of displaying the acrobatic skills of all that Rocket League has to offer or the fine teamwork and gunplay of The Division, the TV is plunged into doom as Made in Chelsea or worse… that Essex show is blaring out of the speakers as the wife pulls rank and takes over the remote. Whilst the Linx 8 may initially look like yet another non-descript black rectangle, it is actually a surprisingly well-made tablet with an understated, yet reasonably attractive design that – from some angles – could almost be mistaken for an iPad mini, were it not for the capacitive Windows logo that sits beneath the display (which brings up the Start screen). A former Project Manager and long-term tech addict, he joined Mobile Nations in 2011 and has been found on Android Central and iMore as well as Windows Central.If you have any issues with installing the drivers for the Linx 8″ Microsoft Tablet, please feel free to leave a comment. The handlebars feel solid, the grippy material is, well, grippy enough, and it's not an unpleasant thing to hold.

I’m also used to playing inverted, but this just messed with my head further – it will take a long while for me to fully adapt and take to online gaming without being hampered by the stick positioning.On the left is the LS, left trigger/bumper and the dpad, and on the right is the RS, right trigger/bumper and AXBY buttons. I’m quite happy to admit that I’ve fallen victim to inflating my gamerscore with Windows 10 PC and mobile games – some are even pretty addictive – but when I do feel the need to stream my Xbox One to the tablet, the Linx’s gaming cradle snaps on easily with little fuss and no wires.

There are also frequently asked questions, a product rating and feedback from users to enable you to optimally use your product. It's not the slimmest thing you'll ever encounter either, and the 1280x800 resolution display will not be making your game graphics look their sharpest. Just finishing up a few install issues and I'll see what can be done regarding the backed up recovery partition.While the cradle works well, the button placement just didn’t feel quite right –reaching for the bumper/trigger while using the sticks, or pressing the face buttons – I’ve put this down to muscle memory, the new layout feeling alien to start with, but if your Xbox One’s TV is occupied, or you fancy a cheeky bit of XO while lazing in bed on a Sunday morning, then this is a great solution. It is possible that dirt has amassed in the opening where the headphone is connected, preventing it from making proper contact. I have been running windows 10 on my Linx 10 for a couple of weeks now and I am quite happy with it.
