RCA Cambio 10 Review

On Christmas I received the RCA Cambio 10, tablet with keyboard. I had put it on my Christmas list because I wanted something portable, lightweight and able to use for downloading photos without having to carry my full size laptop.

Folded shut, keyboard protects the screen.

Open as a laptop.

Following are some specs:

Windows 10

Intel Z3735 Processor

2GB Ram

6 Hour Battery Life

1xDC in

1xMicrophone

1xHeadset

1xMini HDMI

1xMicro USB 2.0

1xUSB 2.0

SD Card Slot for additional Storage. I have a 64GB in this for storage.

I have used this now nearly every day since Christmas and it performs very well. It runs very fast and plays videos well. I have done a little experiment and downloaded iTunes onto the machine. It took up a great deal of space on the internal storage, however it did not slow it down. I have also downloaded Microsoft Movie Maker. I don't plan to store much on the machine, but on vacation I will be able to download my video and photos and do some editing.

Loaded in the apps is Microsoft Excel, Word and Powerpoint as read only apps. The keyboard is small and is very difficult to do any regular typing. I can type quick enough by only using a couple of fingers. But with only have read only on Microsoft it is really not an issue.

The mouse pad is a little sensitive, but still works well. I can also use a standard mouse via the USB. I have not detached the tablet from the keyboard as I really prefer a laptop.

I need to purchase a MiniHDMI to HDMI cable so that I can test how this will work for playing movies/video on the TV. I have connected USB and moved photos back and forth and it works well.

So if you are looking for something small and portable for web browsing and other tasks you can not beat this Windows tablet for the price.

Easter

Easter has come and gone. It was a very busy couple of days. We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night. Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday. We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch. We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit. Mom's Work Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal. It was given to her on her confirmation. It is over 100 years old and in German. Mom also has her bible. She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church. We all had a really good time and it was a full day. On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt. The kids had fun as always. We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence. I got a short ride in on Friday morning. We then were preparing for a wedding. Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house. Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography. This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out. It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends. You may kiss the bride! We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening. We got home late and went right to bed. I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France. It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race. I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...
