Performance and Connectivity
The O+ Notepad is powered by an Intel x5-Z8300 quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, Intel HD Graphics, and 4GB RAM. It’s quick, responsive, and doesn’t show any slow downs when using it for productivity tasks like MS Office, watching movies, web browsing, and some doodling on the Fresh Paint app. The keyboard and trackpad are also responsive, smooth, and are a joy to use.
If you’re thinking about gaming, this 2-in-1 isn’t exactly built for that purpose as it doesn’t have a dedicated GPU. It will not run the latest graphic intensive games in the market but may be adequate when it comes to older or less demanding ones.
When it comes to connectivity, the O+ Notepad has the usual features like WiFi, Bluetooth, micro HDMI, and USB 3.0 and 2.0. O+, however, added 4G LTE and support for micro-sized SIM cards. The company also included an O+ SIM card powered by Smart Bro which comes with 10 days of unlimited Internet browsing and 400 SMS.
Battery Life
Powering the O+ Notepad is a 7,500mAh battery. We’re mostly getting 8 to 9 hours of usage when mostly used for MS Office tasks and WiFi web browsing with the display brightness set to 25% to 50%. When it comes to our routine battery test which involves playing a Full HD video on loop, in Airplane mode, at 50% brightness and volume with headset plugged in, the result is 10 hours and 35 minutes of playback which is good.
Conclusion
The O+ Notepad and IntelliPen is a good 2-in-1 aimed at productivity on the go. It’s a large tablet with a high-resolution display which can quickly turn into a laptop by just docking it on the keyboard. If you’re feeling creative, just bring out the IntelliPen and scribble away. In addition, it also has a very nice design, solid build, and a very capable set of hardware. The price is also reasonable at Php16,995 so if you’re on the hunt for a productivity slate withing that budget, the O+ Notepad and IntelliPen is a good choice.
