Got one of those NuVision cheap 8 inch Windows 10 tablets on sale over the holiday season and I'm very, very surprised by how good it is. I have the TM800W610L, which comes with the Atom x5-Z8300 cpu and a mere 2GB of RAM.
Windows 10 is surprisingly snappy and I really don't feel any performance hangups while browsing, watching and streaming HD video, running basic apps and such. The little SSD in there is not amazing but it's fast enough and frankly, this is on par or better than some lower-spec laptops with 4GB ram I've used in recent years. Full blown 64-bit Windows 10 is a nice plus.
This would struggle as a laptop replacement if you plan on doing any major editing but a lot of people could get away with it if all they do is Facebook/email and such.
I think the performance of this Cherry Trail atom is what makes it so usable. It's a quad and seems to have just enough grunt to get past the dreadful performance level benchmark. In tablet mode, it's a total pleasure to use while switching around apps and such.
