My review of the TPV RenoPad after 7 months……
After having used the RenoPad for 2-in-1 computer for 7 months, I am satisfied with its quality. For the price you are getting decent specs, plenty of storage, and included accessories like a stylus and keyboard case. This windows 11 tablet includes active cooling as opposed to passive cooling, and the keyboard is Bluetooth and requires pairing out of the box. I found it a little hard to type on because of the size of the trackpad, and with no way to disable the trackpad, I find this to be slightly annoying when typing. Despite this complaint, I found the device itself to be super responsive and adequate for media consumption and light office work. There are times when I switch out the keyboard for my folding keyboard, but the battery life is more than acceptable and the brightness, screen quality, and sound are enough for most users. I would not update the sound drivers. The device uses slightly older speakers that require the stock drivers, so a speaker driver update will cause the speakers to cease functioning. This is not a big issue for me because I use earbuds with the device when ever I am out. Paired with AR devices, the RenoPad has effectively cured the anxiety I feel when I am away from my home office, and the device combo is a great conversation starter at coffee shops. The stock keyboard case does include RGB back-lighting, but you will not notice it in a lit room making it acceptable to take to a professional setting. The 16 GB of LPDDR5 ram makes the device snappy, capable of handling multiple tasks at once, but the low power Intel N100 processor sort of takes away from the experience a little, so no gaming. While on the go I mainly use this for research, document drafting and media. It can handle light photo editing, but I would not use this for any graphic intensive task beyond streaming video. It has two cameras built in that are suitable for video call, and low light photography, but do not expect 4K quality.
It is important to remember you are not paying a fortune for this, so sacrificing some things like camera quality and processing power in the name of price efficiency can be helpful for those who just need a device for school or work, and don’t want to rob a bank.
All-in-all, I give this device a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I suggest getting yours on amazon during Black Friday. Your kid and your wallet will thank you when school starts.
