The latest Asus Transformer tablets offer the sweet convenience of a keyboard and extended battery life, but they do cost a pretty penny.
However, as with most new mobile tech these days, a cost effective alternative to the Transformer has hit the streets of China in the form of the Aocos PX102.
Priced at just $208 (in China), the device boasts some fairly respectable specs, including a 10.1 inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800, dual cameras and a detachable keyboard.
The tablet is powered by a 1.6Ghz dual-core Rockchip CPU paired with Mali-400 graphics, 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory.
Additional specs? Google Android 4.1, WiFi, A single 2.0 USB port, Micro USB port, HDMI out and a micro SD card reader. As expected, the detachable keyboard connects to the Aocos via Bluetooth.
As Liliputing’s Brad Linder notes, the keyboard – which serves double duty as as screen cover – is equipped with a rechargeable battery, although you can’t use it to extend the tablet’s battery life the way you can with an Asus Transformer Pad.
Interested? You can snag the Aocos PX102 from ChinaGrabber for $230.
