Hardware manufacturer Linx has released a new tablet in the UK which comes with a little bit extra as standard.
The Linx Vision 8 Gaming Tablet (as some retailers are listing it, though the manufacturer just calls it the Linx Vision) is a Windows 10-powered tablet with an 8" display with 800x1280 resolution, Quad-Core Intel chipset, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage. It's got all the usual stuff, such as a front and rear cameras, a mic, SD card slot, headphone socket, and a micro HDMI connector.
But it also contains a full Xbox One controller, built right into the very unit. Well, split into two parts and attached to the side, at least.
What this means is that if you're taking advantage of Xbox One to Windows 10 streaming (or just playing Windows 10 games, of course), you don't need to prop the device up while both hands are occupied by a standard controller. It's all there, much like if you were using a Wii U Gamepad.
We've yet to give the Linx Vision a spin, but the device has recently been launched in the UK and is available for around the £150 mark from a number of retailers. PC World has them in stock right now for £149.00 if the idea floats your boat.

Think I'll stick with my Surface and controller combo... having said that... £150 is pocket change by comparison. Must be a pretty nasty Windows experience at that price point...
@stylon This guy gets it
@Utena-mobile
My brother plays the GBA Fire Emblems on his phone. But, he also owns the games too so there's that.
My personal belief is that if ya own the game, emulate away. That's only fair I think.
Well, @stylon has already nailed it, a good surface or Windows notebook (even with the price difference) with Xbox controller totally destroys this thing.
I own a linx 8 and it runs windows 10 well and this new one probably will but I personally prefer my laptop and controller combo for streaming from my Xbox
This interests me immensely.
I bought one of these 2 days ago first impressions are good.the controller felt a bit weird at first but I'm getting used to it now.the tablet is not bad it's not all that powerful and the screen could be better but it streams xbox one games very well.for the money it's a cool little set up.
Probably the closest we'll ever get to an Xbox portable. I'll bite if it ever makes it stateside.
Specs aren't so great (would be nice if it had 4 GB RAM), but should be able to run the lower end games of my Steam library.
