iRULU Walknbook 10.1' 2-In-1 Tablet Review

My hands on review of the iRULU Walknbook 32GB WIndows tablet computer

Key Features

Windows 10 OS,10.1" IPS Touch Screen (1280 by 800 resolution)
• Intel BayTrail-T Quad Core Processor (1.22-1.83 GHz), Mini HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0
• 2GB RAM +32 GB Nand Flash extendable to 128GB with Micro SD Card, 7 hours battery life
• Includes detachable keyboard and case, less than 1/2 " thick , weighs 1.3lbs
• Includes Office 365, 1TB OneDrive Cloud Storage.

Summary of good/bad points:

Areas I liked:
+ “2 in 1” design allows for use as a tablet of with the supplied keyboard/cover a netbook sized laptop
+ IPS screen has good viewing angles and colours, respectable resolution
+ Solid build on the tablet with easy to reach controls and well placed speakers
+ Performance is quite satisfactory for a tablet computer (quad core Atom is comparable to entry level laptops)
+ Full sized USB port (USB 3.0), mini HDMI for output to a TV, built in micro SD card slot
+ Sound output is better than expected
+ Cover can be used as a “stand” by folding up the back section
+ Battery endurance is quite good at around 5.5-6 hours in mixed use possibly longer for lighter activities
+ Front/rear cameras are reasonable for a tablet in this price range even in low light (though frame rates drop in very dim light) better than most budget laptops

Weaker points:
- Micro USB port cannot be used for charging (on most tablets they can)
- Supplied power lead could be longer/adapter tip requires some care in use (it's not that thick)
- Storage space somewhat limited
- Keyboard is up to par but could be improved (short travel on key presses)

thank you so much for this review I am for sure goi NH to get this

You can remove the back glass layer using a heat gun and patience. Removing the phillips 00 screws all around the edge will let you remove the back and gain access to the internals. Simply solder a wire from the positive of the jack to the positive of the USB to allow for USB charging. The AC in is only 5v which is the same as what the USB port uses. Doing this will not harm the tablet electronically unless you bridge contacts when soldering. This needs to be done very carefully as the board is densely populated and if not all SMD components.

five years later, is the tablet still working fine ? when did it started getting faulty?

I'm curious, if you can't charge it via the micro USB than what is it for?

[leonhardripper]

[dmhmhunter]

i have same tablet i wonder what the port slot i found hidden if you remove the orange plastic part on the right side of tablet

[hermanstokbrood]

Thanks for you great review. I have a concern about the durability of the cover-flaps/stand and the tablet in general. Can you already say something about that? I wonder if it is good/strong enough for a kid to take it to school every day.

[Nivvy]

does thus include Microsoft Word would like to buy this as my school laptop for my online classes

[Jefffdude]

Is the stand required for this to sit upright while attached to the keyboard? In other words would I be able to sit and work with this on my lap while it is attached to the keyboard?

What you say do the gaming experience would be like on this windows 10 tablet from 1-10?

[kevfitz]

[dianahunnings]

What happens if an efi shell version 2.31 [5.8] shows on the screen?

[l]

I wana know if this can handle FL Studio 12 or Albeton live?

[asjones]

I wonder if this would be good for a Remix OS device. Specs seem to be about the same as the Remix Mini. Do you reckon this would work for that?

[edmar]

Approximately how long does it take to charge, also, are there any inconveniences being Aid that its charging port is DC.

[xlightmariox]

Can it go on steam cause I wanna download bo3 and steam when I get a iRULU 2 in 1

[edmar]

I noticed there's also the Irulu walknbook 3, is it better than this one or newer?

[Imxeimxe]

will this work on programs like fl studio? great review! thank you!

[mariem]
