Bullseye! The new Nextbook 10.1 scores

I received product to demo and facilitate this review. All opinions are strictly my own.

77059When I travel (and I travel a LOT), I have my needs

  • All of my clothes must mix & match so that I can pack less and get MORE from them.
  • Two pair of shoes is all I need. One for dress and one for comfort. By bringing a pair of gold sandals that will go from jeans to a gown (or even a bathing suit) for dress and my Ahnu’s for walking around all day (they look cute with a skirt or shorts), I cut down on what I pack – one pair on my feet and one pair packed.
  • My handbag has to double as a camera bag, shopping bag, or just something to carry my wallet and lipstick. I use a cross-body style pack (my City Tote) for that.

Do you see a pattern?

Now you know how I can get away with ONE carry-on bag for a week’s worth of travel. Everything that I pack has a DOUBLE DUTY.

When it comes to my electronics, I often feel like I’m overloaded. There’s my phone, my camera, my laptop, and my tablet. I’ve traveled without my camera, using only my phone for photos, but I like to be able to take notes on a tablet as I venture out to explore a destination yet have a keyboard for sitting down to write my post when I get back to the hotel room.

Enter the Nextbook 10.1

Nextbook 10

This is a 2-in-1 computer/tablet with a detachable keyboard. I can grab the tablet portion when I’m out and about and still sit down and type out my article back in the room. It is a money saving machine (I’d rather spend my money on travel than gear) at only $219.99 – at Target.

A Double (or triple) duty machine

  • Detachable screen means I can use it as a tablet
  • Windows 8.1 allows me to sync with my computers at home (which can be upgraded to Windows 10 soon)
  • Touch Screen like my Windows computer at home
  • Wifi 802.11 b/g/b – so your connection will be the fasted available
  • Bluetooth 4.0 – I’m a skype maven and need to wear a headset and chat
  • 2.0 megapixel front and rear camera – a great backup alternative (now I have the Nextbook AND a phone for photos)
  • Micro SD slot – YES, you can expand the memory!!!
  • Micro HDMI – for hooking up with other devices around the mansion…like the TV!
  • Quad-Core Intel® AtomTM Z3735G Processor (X86, 1.8GHz)
  • Fast – Quad-Core Intel® AtomTM Z3735G Processor (X86, 1.8GHz)
  • Loaded with things like NOOK for Windows 8 app- so it can TRIPLE as an eReader
  • VUDU and TV – for watching on the plane or when the hotel TV only gets Thai TV stations (happened earlier this year)
  • PLUS – a FREE YEAR of Office 365 Personal (I subscribe to Office 365, so this is a MAJOR plus)
  • 1 TB OneDrive online storage
  • Plug and play – I simply turned it on and signed into my Windows account….it was THAT easy

Comments

  1. I would love this for my upcoming trips. It is reasonably priced and seems to do everything that the higher priced models do.

  2. It would replace my very old netbook that I can take naps waiting for the screen to change now. It is so slow even when I clean it up. I need this desperately.

  5. Who wouldn’t want that? Carrying fewer devices but still getting everything you need sounds awesome!! I want one.

  6. I would replace my heavier laptop, tablet and probably eReader as well!

  16. This would replace my laptop which I usually bring everywhere with me. It would definitely be a lot easier to carry this Nextbook with me for sure! Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!

  17. It would definitely replace my laptop that I can no longer close due to broken hinges. Lol I travel several times a year and this last trip I was lost with only my phone and camera. Thanks for all your great posts and blog Zippy!

  20. I’d take this everywhere with me to read on, so it would replace my laptop and tablet!

  21. This would replace my desk top that I am finally ready to update like everyone else.

  27. I would give this to my mom, who has never had a computer. I would love to teach her how to use it.

  28. The new NextBook 10 would replace an ancient laptop that I swear has cobwebs in it. 🙂 I travel frequently and the Nextbook 10 could be very handy, very light and very fast!

  29. I have an embarrassingly ancient HP laptop that needs to be retired, the Nextbook 10 would be a major upgrade. The really embarrassing part is that I’m an IT guy and I am using this ancient HP, I really need to upgrade!

  30. Ok, I’m 23 and just graduated college. I’m starting my master’s in Special Ed in 4 weeks and I’ve been suffering with some ancient laptop my mom got me (trying to save money, I have some debt….and I don’t have the funds to purchase a new one). The Nextbook 10 could help me in countless ways! Thank you!

  34. I would use it in place of my desktop that is never where I need it to be and terribly inconvenient!

  37. The Nextbook 10.0 laptop/tablet would replace my laptop. My present laptop is falling apart and is very old.

  38. It would replace my laptop since it’s so much more portable. I’m starting college in the fall and it would be perfect for taking with me.

  43. I just might be able to use this , show it off, promote it , even share it. I have parts of my laptop taped on but they just keep falling off, I try rubber bands too, of course it is hard to see the screen because if I open it to far the keyboard separates and warps which has nothing whatsoever to do with this give away . I guess I would just like to be able to help this product to be more seen and if I can “win” it than I would be very loyal. Thank you , J.Nani

  49. It would replace my laptop and iPad, this is a great all in one, I played with one at the Microsoft store a few weeks ago and loved it!

  50. This wouldn’t actually replace anything for me, but it would allow me to get some personal stuff done while I’m traveling for work. We can’t use our work laptops for anything else due to security concerns.

  51. I would give it to my daughter for school to replace the bulky laptop being lugged around.

  52. It would finally give me something to use that was my own. Many times, my 5 kids are on this computer so I wouldn’t have to fight over this old one we have

  54. This would be a great replacement for my desktop computer! I don’t have a laptop yet.

  55. The Nextbook would replace my Dell Laptop, which is about 6 years old. It is very slow and freezes often!

  58. This would replace the desk top……and do more than replace it because it would offer a way for my son to play educational games and apps for autism. Thanks

  59. This fancy piece of technology will replace my 2007 bulky desktop computer! It’ll be nice to remove all the clutter, and have the convenience of portability. 🙂

  60. This would not really replace anything…but be a wonderful addition to! Our laptop died a couple years ago, and everyone has been using our older desktop…which still has windows XP. LOL…yep…we are back to the dinosaur age! Which is very hard with school work. This would be great during the school year for school work, and I know I would love to be able to use in the kitchen while cooking up new recipes I find online(instead of running up and down the stairs 1000 times to double check what I am doing as I cook! LOL. All around..would be a huge blessing for us!

  61. It would replace my net book that I use when I travel which has totally died. I would also use it in place of my desktop which is about to die and gives me fits like every 5 minutes!

  62. The Netbook would replace my daughters hand me down laptop. It would be so wonderful to win, as she is starting high school and a lot of her work is done via the web! Super excited! Thank you for the chance!
