An unboxing and first few minutes with my new Winbook TW700 from MicroCenter.

It has 16GB of Storage, 1GB of RAM, a Quad-Core Intel processor, MicroSD Card Slot, Micro-HDMI, Micro-USB, full-sized USB 2.0, WiFI-N, BlueTooth, Front and Rear Cameras, GPS, and more.

Best part - it was only $59.99 at MicroCenter!

Some notes:

The drive is 16GB, but over 5GB is taken up with a hidden recovery partition, that I have yet to find a way to delete.

A 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 sells for $79.99 - which is $20 more than what this cost, and is included in the price.

Windows 8.1 by itself also costs more than $59.

PortableApps.com is a good recourse for free, legal, mostly open source applications that can be installed to a Flash Drive so you can install programs to a MicroSD card, or USB drive and not take up any room on your hard drive.  Apps like:  Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice, AbiWord, Pidgin, FileZilla, Audacity, GIMP, VLC, and even Skype -- can all be installed to a MicroSD card - and even used on a different Windows PC just by plugging in that drive.

The MicroSD-out does not seem to support expanding the screen.  So far, I've only been able to mirror the screen, which leaves a big black box around the screen... at least on the one TV I've tried it on.  There seems to be at least one other option that I haven't been able to figure out yet, which may fix the double-letterboxing.  I will update this if/when I can get that to work.

===UPDATE===

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got this email from MicroCenter today.  You can save 2 GB of data on the hard drive.

This is specifically for the WinBook TW700 - I don't know if it can or does work for any other tablet or Windows device.  I didn't create the file, and can't take any responsibility for what it does.  But this is from a legit MicroCenter email - so I would suggest that all TW700 owners to use it.

I ran it on my tablet, and got over 1.6 GB back.  Not the full 2GB mentioned in the email, but I also don't have MS Office installed, so there may have been more savings there.

WinBook has an important update to share regarding your WinBook TW700 Tablet.

Due to the size of the full versions of the Microsoft OS and Office included with the new WinBook tablets, some users have experienced low available disk space after completing the MS Office installation and latest OS updates. While we cannot impact the size or frequency of updates released by Microsoft, the WinBook team has developed a utility that will increase the available storage space on your 7” WinBook tablet by about 2GB. Installing and running the utility is quick and should only take about 2 minutes, and does not negatively impact any of your applications.

To obtain and run this utility, please follow these steps:
1. Click on the link below to open the download page from our website: http://www.microcentertech.com/winbook/WBOptimize.exe

This utility makes a modification that can only be completed one time. Running the utility a second time will not free up any additional space. The utility can be deleted after Windows finishes rebooting.
