Nextbook just dropped their prices on their windows 8.1 tablets.

The Nextbook 10.1″ tablet is now $179.99
The Nextbook 8″ tablet is now $99.99

We’ve used Nextbook products in the past, specifically the android tablets and were generally impressed with the overall quality of their products. Can wait to see how they perform under Windows 8.1. So far, the build quality is on par with our previously tested Nextbook devices and Windows 8.1 is the same as any other device running it so there’s no real difference there. The fact that you have the option of a full OS on a tablet is definitely “new tech” so let’s see what you get for $99/$179.

Testing both products now…

The Nextbook 8″ tablet is now $99.99
UNBOXING: Took it out of the box and turned it on

FIRST THOUGHTS:
Full OS Windows 8.1 on a tablet? Awesome! Calling Apple now…ring…ring…ring…hello? click.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY:
I’m guessing it’ll still be around but will be trumped by faster, higher tech products.
