    HI did a search and did not see a review and so here it goes:

    Nextbook Flexx 9 8.9 Tablet / PC
    has a quad core Atom processor that can only address 1 gb ram
    32 gb memory and Expandable memory through Micro SD up to 64gb

    Here are is the copy and paste specs:

    What I'm running for past few days:

    Chrome browser with multiple windows
    Open office
    PDF exchange
    Nottab +++
    JBL Blue tooth speaker
    Wireless printer (Brother)
    64gb generic microsd
    wireless logitech mouse

    So how does it run? Well its no powerhouse but for the most part its snappy as long as you keep it down to four different programs at once. But I paid $78 for it at WalMart.com and I think at this price point to have a machine for trips that is not an Ipad or Iphone or my more expensive laptop, its great.

    The Keyboard is a bit cramped but its a small device, its good enough that I typed and composed this whole mini review

    Cheers,
    Bill

    I read that review and it was good, in comparison this little 2 in 1 does not have the useless underlit keyboard, I think 2gb of ram would be better but it is what it is for under $80. The Cameras are very bad on this too compared to most models but I never use them anyway, I think the dependability to 64gb storage is amazing

    update, this little 2 in 1 comes with a normal size 2.0 USB and a micro 2.0 port, I bought a generic $1.59 adapter from ebay and it works like a charm, I now can use the other port with normal sized USB.

    Tip, go into device manager and stop the turning off power to USB port because this will stop some devices from connecting via USB. Battery life is only about 4 to 5 hours while surfing but I did not buy it for long battery life, just better portability and low cost to take to work and on trips. I will try to charge it with USB adapter next, I have a USB power cord coming in the mail........
