Perhaps file this under 'link of interest', since we're not talking Windows 10 Mobile here, but at under 8" for its screen, the new Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 64GB does run Windows 10 and it's potentially cheap as chips, at an equivalent price of under £140. Maybe. If you can get hold of one. It's certainly of interest though, with some details quoted below.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 has an Intel Atom processor and there are both Android and Windows 10 options. Remember that Windows 10 Mobile is currently ARM-only, but no doubt we'll see both ARM tablets and Intel-based smartphones (or at least phablets) in time.

This is the first Windows 10 tablet from Xiaomi, by the way. The Mi Pad 2 has a unibody aluminium design, Xiaomi claims that it's 18% thinner and 38g lighter than the original Mi Pad, should you have seen those. Specifications include:

• Intel Z5 Z8500 ‘Cherry Trail’ Atom processor
• 2GB of RAM
• 322g
• 7mm thick
• 7.9" screen at 2048 x 1536
• 8-megapixel rear camera
• 5-megapixel front camera
• 6190mAh battery
• USB Type-C data/charging

What do you think? A nice in-between addition to the range of Windows 10 hardware, from phone to PC?
