Onda V919 Air Tablet PC is a tablet that dual-boots Windows 10 and Android 4.4

The Onda V919 Air Tablet PC mimicks the look of the iPad Air. The design is almost identical as is the metal body, button placement and overall look. It could be easily mistaken for an iPad when powered off.

However, when powered on, it brings on a big surprise, because this device dual boots Android 4.4 and Windows 10. The dual boot option provides best of the both worlds. On Windows 10, a full version of Office 365 is present, giving the user full access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, Outlook, One Note and the other Office apps.  With a keyboard and mouse hooked up one is able to create PowerPoint presentation and even design materials in Microsoft Publisher.  It really can serve as a PC replacement at a fraction of the cost of a Microsoft Surface. On Android, the Google Play Store offers an app catalogue larger than the iTunes store.

Performance

The Onda V919 is powered by an Intel Bay Trail Z3736F Quad Core 64bit processor and Intel Graphics HD paired with 2GB of RAM making it super fast. The Intel Bay Trail chips are used in full size laptops, so it packs plenty of punch for a tablet.

Screen

The screen is quality is awesome. Onda put the best screen on this tablet. It is a high density display offering  2048×1536 pixels which is really impressive.  The picture quality for viewing photos or movies is outstanding. The only missing feature here is a light sensor. Without the light sensor the user is forced to manually adjust the screen brightness which is not a big deal.

Storage

With 32GB of onboard storage, this compares to high end iPads.  The memory is split between the two operating systems, roughly 16GB for each.  Given the system memory required by the operating systems (4GB per system) that leaves roughly 12GB of useable space for each system.  The optional SD card slot enables the memory to be expanded by up to another 128GB.  While installing apps on the SD card might pose a problem, the files saved on the SD card are easily shared between the operating systems.
