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

nextbook Collage

 

  • 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
FullSizeRender

Pluses

Size: This little machine fits into my City Tote with ease

Price: Prices at under $220 right now at Target – it’s INCREDIBLY affordable

Function: It does everything that my computer does…only scaled smaller for travel.

Lasting power: I’m able to get about 7 hours on ONE charge (great for those airport layovers)

Minuses

Weight: At just over 3 lbs it weighs more than just a tablet…then again, it IS  MORE THAN JUST A TABLET.

  29. Jeffery Clark says

    June 24, 2015 at 2:59 am

    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. Anna Clark says

    June 24, 2015 at 3:03 am

    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!

    June 26, 2015 at 12:20 am

    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

  44. Mabyn Shingleton says

    June 26, 2015 at 12:31 am

  50. Ivette Muller says

    June 26, 2015 at 7:57 am

    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. Angelo Capozi says

    June 26, 2015 at 2:03 pm

  57. Kay Dougherty says

    June 27, 2015 at 4:41 pm

    It would make traveling easier – I carry a laptop now and it’s quite cumbersome.

  58. rachel cartucci says

    June 27, 2015 at 4:51 pm

    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. Enrique Herrera says

    June 27, 2015 at 9:18 pm

    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. Laura J says

    June 27, 2015 at 9:46 pm

    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. Paula S. says

    June 28, 2015 at 11:40 am

    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. Wendy Rafferty says

    June 28, 2015 at 4:33 pm

    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!

  63. Amanda Sakovitz says

    June 28, 2015 at 8:20 pm
