Yes, in official papers I saw a cradle / stand for it with 3 additional USB and Lan. However, I did not find any other information about this on the network.

Personal feelings after a week of use: Convenient machine for easy surfing, reading PDF (for the rest there is an electronic book), watching videos and sorting photos from the camera. With the keyboard connected, you can edit documents / write posts in LJ, using the on-screen keyboard is not very convenient.

Of the obvious shortcomings:
  • 1 USB. The second is clearly not enough. + Its location next to the charger connector. The "thick" modem and charging clearly interfere with each other
  • Auto backlight adjustment. The idea is good, but the execution leaves much to be desired. Too large "steps" of brightness change + lack of ability to set the lower and upper boundaries
  • lack of a convenient ability to adjust the brightness of the backlight. Climbing the control panel every time is not convenient
  • Not enough hardware start button. Compensated by the fact that in 7-ke the automatic hiding of the taskbar works more sensibly.


sergioavtoritet, talked about the program O-easy . An irreplaceable program on this tablet. Allows you to conveniently adjust the brightness of the backlight, select a camera and control WiFi / Bt. Exiting it is a long press on the screen.

How to disassemble the device !?
Important! Everything described belowmay rob void your warranty and may cause damage to the unit. You are responsible for your actions.

And in the area of ​​the buttons, the case may begin to creak! Solder add. You can use USB, but you can’t get the usb modem inside, you simply don’t have space. And the modems are all very thick.

As it turned out empirically, it is quite easy to disassemble. You need 2 picks .46 and .71 (this is their thickness in mm). We remove the rubber plug of the connector under the dock and with a thin pick we begin to unclench the halves of the case. I started on the left side because there was a kind of latch visible (it turned out not to be). We unclench the case with the mediator, trying to find the latches and push them back. "tear like the mouth of Samson to the lion" is not necessary, break the outer frame. The latches are located on all sides with a step of ~ 3 cm. On the bottom side there are loops connecting the motherboard and LCD + touch. So we do not depict Samson and the mediator is far from shoving.

A few days ago I bought this tablet. In general, as an addition to a laptop is suitable. Without problems, I set up a laptop-tablet connection. Surfing, reading books is convenient. The battery holds a charge for a long time. I’m just writing now from a laptop. At times easier and more convenient. This device is specific tablet. In addition, the number of software and games for it is small. (I mean adapted for the touch screen). Maybe this is the first impression, we'll see.

Could you test the devices and write here - how long does it hold a charge at different load intensities? Is it strongly braked? How long does it take to load? How long does it take to open programs, PDF documents? Did Windows optimization do it? How does the video play (will the video pull 720p, 1080p)?
thank



Rep: (10)
hmm ... just restored the system from recovery. Probably you can test.
Generally thoughtful. Windu definitely needs to fine-tune it - turn off many whistles, turn off the swap file (which, by the way, makes the tablet even more thoughtful)

For the seed. Windows is not optimized in any way.
The time from pressing the on button to the password request is 40 seconds + 12 more after pressing enter and until the desktop appears.

I'll watch the video and unsubscribe later. pdf? example?

pdf? example?

Thanks for answers. For the test, you can try the book in pdf format, for example, this:
IN. Klyuchevsky "Russian history. 800 rarest illustrations", its size is 86 megabytes, you can download from here -http://flibusta.net/b/221196



Rep: (0)
There are 2 questions for specialists:
1 whether there are alternative shells for the desktop on this device (such as spb shell)
2 What kind of "whistle-blowers" need to be turned off so that the tablet quickly becomes blunted?
thanks in advance

This is the first post in this thread. Manufacturer Page>under the description with pictures we are looking for either download or upload ...



Rep: (10)
Does anyone know an application to adjust the brightness of the backlight? Ideally, these are 2 shortcuts on the slave table "+" and "-". And double-click increase / decrease brightness by 10% (for example)



Rep: (1)
You can try the O-Easy program, although it is from the 110th, but it is installed and working

Installation in the forehead did not help. Or something is missing or is it imprisoned for the acpi driver under the buttons

I got up fine, though I have a Win 7 Ultimate Lite system under SSD.
And also - if I’m not mistaken, if I click on the battery icon in the tray and open the power management window, then a brightness adjustment slider appears at the bottom of this window. I can check only in the evening, there are no cars at hand right now.

What kind of device do you have?

This is what I can do. I want to quickly and conveniently.

The device - MSI WindPad is exactly 100W.



Rep: (10)
OK. then for those who slow down (for me i.e.)

So you put this software, and then? how to manage it? how to run it? There is no hardware button, there are no shortcuts anywhere either



Rep: (1)
It starts from a shortcut on the desktop, the truth is how it got there - automatically, or I removed it from Start or Program Files, I don’t remember on the go, I'll see - unsubscribe. After launch, a screen appears on which, as I understand it, you can put all sorts of shortcuts, there are several such screens - they are scrolled by arrows on the screen, and on one there are collected controls - volume, brightness, BT control, WiFi, cameras, everything works with fingers. True, I did not understand much, I rarely use a tablet.
I tried shells and some programs from here -Touch-optimized Windows software, I liked only the calculator and Foto Fun with the ASUS T91, much slows down a lot, still our machine is rather weak



Rep: (10)
That's it, I figured it out. It was necessary to put 2 times. for the first call, it pulls something from the internet and sets it there. And only for the second time myself. Well, or the Internet fell off then.
