There is a local company producing Win8.1 tablet & selling at Lowyat called JOI8. Tried googling, but not much info on the tablet. Selling price is RM499 according to Star Newspaper advert today.

This is the super entry level Windows Tablet meant to compete against the lower priced Android tablets, I myself am curious at how well can 1GB be used to run Windows, my theory is that Modern UI apps should be fine because they can be memory managed more efficiently, but multi tasking your desktop apps is gonna be a stretch.

DOTA 2? ahahahah, the Graphics clock is slower than the Acer W4's which was just barely about to play DOTA2 with only 2GB of RAM so I really don't think that's possible.

But anyway... you're gonna see a lot of these cheap Windows Tablets coming from everyone, so if you're worried about build quality of this thing, you can wait for the one by Acer.. I think they just call it, Acer W.

Technically if you keep it under control and not open too many things at once you should be fine.

499 for a original win8.1 and MS Office, really a bargain..........just that the 1GB RAM is headache

Lazada got pre-order with RM20 discount

JOI8 useless to me, I already have W4

Finalizing my Windows 8.1 1GB review using the SNS Joi8, I can tell you that 1GB RAM is SURPRISINGLY usable for Windows, you just need to put up with a slight wait times when the system pages around the swap file when you switch around apps and other things.

BUT...

Well.. from the initial previews the 8W seems to have 32GB of onboard storage, which is good, because the 16GB of the Joi8 is causing a LOT of headache. Due to the fact that.

- Free space on init boot - 4.5GB
- Free space after Office 365 installation (which installs EVERYTHING, unless you hack the install config file) - 2.5GB
- Free space after Steam - 1.8GB (!)

Then remember that.. in that 1.8GB Windows will use it to
- Install any store apps (because store apps can't be properly installed to SD card right now)
- Temp files created by programs
- Temps files  for installing Windows Update purposes

16GB Storagee was VERY VERY bad!!
