Vido W10 Elite, a Surface 3 clone from China

Microsoft's Surface series is generally quite well received by the audience in almost all markets it sells in. However, Chinese companies think that they can replicate almost any device -- with a better price.

This time around we have the Vido W10 Elite, which is a Microsoft Surface 3 wannabe that doesn't cost too much money. To be specific, it costs around the $350 mark, and even features a Surface 3-style keyboard (which unfortunately needs to be bought separate).

The Vido W10 Elite comes with a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS display, an Intel Atom x7 Z8700 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM, a 5 mega-pixel (autofocus) rear camera, 2 mega-pixel front facing camera and a 7300mAh battery. It even features a USB Type-C port and 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi.

It's a bit of a shame that the keyboard isn't a part of the retail package, especially since we're talking about a device that costs over $300. Speaking of accessories, Vido also make a touch stylus that you can purchase additionally.

Seems a bit pricey for now, hoping the factory and its partners realise this and bring the price down to about $250 in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, more tablet news here.
