Ramos Launch Two Hybrid Windows8.1/Android Dual boot Tablets

[TensorVortex]

Well I just saw this, and I think I would share it here because last week Linus rage about Microsoft & Google stopping ASUS making hybrids.

Some Intel China region top managers even gave some speech... 

Maybe I'm wrong, because Asus is doing in system switch (from what i know), while Ramos is cold dual boot, you have to restart everytime you want to switch.

 

Here is spec:

 

1. Ramos i10 Pro

10 Inch IPS 1920x1200px

Atom Z3740D

2GB RAM

32GB eMMC

Rear(500M)/front(200M) Camera

WIFI,BT,GPS,3G(OPTIONAL)

Windows 8.1

Android 4.2.2

￥2699 (about $433.39)

 

2. Ramos i8 Pro

8 Inch IPS 1280x800px

Atom Z3740

2GB RAM

32GB eMMC

Rear(800M)/front(200M) Camera

WIFI,BT,GPS

Windows 8.1

￥(I have no idea how much it will be)

 

Here is some nice picture:

2.Five Color to choose from:

 

3. Ramos i10 Pro Spec

 

4. Ramos i8 Pro Spec

 

Although they only launched i10 Pro and i8 Pro, there will be at least two more model.

The NOTE edition, donno if it will be wacom or not, but even it is wacom solution, I'm afraid they may not use the good wacom stuff, which will result in bad calib and very low palm resistance height (donno if this is true, but my surface have way better pen detection than my samsung tablet).

 

 

And very surprisingly, the i10 S edition with Intel Bay Trail-T CRV0 processor, which is actually the Atom Z3735D, no spec yet I think, but I would like to think it as a celeron... This version donnot have windows8.1 support, which Intel probably make their chips super cheap to oems...

 

 

 

Tablets' price is really high, usually Ramos release stuff at ￥500-￥1500 range, Chinese people are excited about the tablets, but feel quite uncomfortable with the price, since they will never match the build quality like Apple Microsoft...

If I were in the market for a tablet, I would love a Windows/Android dual-boot. Windows would allow me to be productive and Android would allow me to just mess around/relax.

 

I hope there are more of these kinds of tablets in the future, and if so, I may end up buying one eventually.

Wasn't the Windows + Android dual boot abolished by Microsoft?

[TopWargamer]

Good to see that somebody is continuing dual booting devices. Hopefully it'll work the same as ASUS's Duet.

Yea I have no idea, it seems like Intel is quite happy to support dual boot... well maybe they are just happy selling more chips..

[madscientist56]

They can't be allowed to do this while Asus isn't

If it s a chinease company they can do what ever they want.

It s been provenbin the past many times, even apple can t sue any Chinese (and yes they tried)

Well ASUS is Taiwanese which is close enough 

[Curemylife]

I would be nice if Asus could ship they're hybrid but send windows 8 on a usb on the side... So its not technicaly a hybrid until you install windows yourself.^^

[onionring]

They got a foothold in the us meaning us laws apply to them. So if Google or win wanted to sue they could.

By Chinese company I mean a company that exclusively works in China and use resalers else where. Those are immune to us laws.

Microsoft and Google. Both joined together to make this not possible.

Here is the problem I have with the dual OS.

Programs aren't shared. Files system aren't shared between them. So I see having a hard time switching files between 1 OS to the other.

Making you fight between switching OS, all the time. Despite fast, switch, I still see this as annoying.

I am all for Android emulation, however. Like BlueStack.

Sadly, BlueStack, looks like it needs a few more years before it's useable.

Yes, but they have no chance in hell of winning legally or otherwise against the People's Republic of China 

[Misanthrope]

Files system aren't shared between them. 

 

Really? Because Linux can read and write windows files no problem which means that it should take like 2 hours for somebody to code an Android app to do likewise if it doesn't already exist

[GoodBytes]

But not the reverse.

And if you use Windows file encryption, Android can't access the files. While in a Windows environment, no problem (or the reverse)

If you truly need access from windows to linux files cloud storage is an option. And I don't think most people would worry about encryption on a tablet but for the tiny amount of people that might need that, granted.

Well the way I see it. Is that if you want Windows, it's for productivity.

As tablets are a bit easier to loose or be stolen than a gaming computer in a steal case (for many), and for some with added water cooling. You may want to encrypt your data.

Also, they are things you don't want to be on the cloud, because you account can be compromised (question of time), and important info could be stolen.

Now with Intel i10 Bay Trail!

Encryption on Tablets is kind of useless imo, so file system problem may not be that important... 32GB eMMC is really small for a windows OS and Android OS... wonder how they make it work... 2 partition?

Now with Intel i10 Bay Trail!

LOL, Ramos skipped i1-i6, and started from i7 three years ago... yea it is very deceptive...

[MangoJuiceStain]

So you're saying that this shit tablet is ok to make but the amazing Duet isn't? What kind of fuckery is this?
