On a budget of about £200 max, looking for a tablet with at least 10” screen,
obviously happy with refurbished ones.
needs to be less than 2kg,
touchscreen, better still if it also has a real keyboard.
Must have USB connectivity.
Windows 8.1 or 10 preferred to Android.
Any recommendations, or is this an impossible combination?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I had a Lenovo Ideapad Miix 310 for a while, came with Windows 10 etc. ran fine, worked pretty well it's 2 in 1 comes with detachable keyboard. It's around £200.00. The only downside I could find is the storage I guess (Windows takes up a fair whack of the internal storage) but you can put your own in as well.


    I'm using a Samsung Tab A 10.1 though now. I sold the above as to be honest I have a laptop and a desktop PC which is more than adequate and I needed something for android games instead. The Tab A is reasonably priced (Under £200.00) and so far reasonably impressive.

    Tesco are currently selling the Lenovo miix 310 for £149 inc keyboard.

    I've got the earlier miix 3 and although it's never going to set the world on fire performance wise, it does the job (albeit sometimes a bit slowly). It's on the latest version of Win 10 and I've put a micro sd card in for extra storage.

    If you google 2 in 1 laptops you will find quite a few. The HP x10 is also a good bet but costs over £200.

    Look here

    Don't buy one of those silly plastic things with 2GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.

    Budget Chromebook?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    That ticks all of my boxes and is pretty cheap. Will investigate further

    Those are really good, although they're pushing at the upper end of my budget.

    Plenty of food for thought; thanks guys.
