Processor and OS
Swipe Ultimate 3G is powered by a 1.3GHz Intel ATOM Baytrail (Z3735F) quad core processor with Intel HD graphics. While using the device, I didn’t face any lag. Performance of the device is smooth. It runs on Windows 8.1 OS. And you can use it in the same way you use your desktop. All Windows software runs pretty well. You can also install executable. You also have an option to install apps from Windows store.
Hardware is good for low-end gaming. But it is good for office work, checking email and surfing internet. It can play 4K videos.
Memory and Storage
It is packed with 2GB DDR3L RAM and 32GB internal storage. Internal storage is also expandable up to 64 GB via micro SD card. As it has USB port, you can also connect pendrive / external Hard disk.
Camera
Swipe ultimate 3G features a 5 megapixel auto focus rear camera without LED flash. It also has a 2 megapixel front camera. I am not impressed with the camera quality. Rear camera can also record 1080p videos at 15 fps. Video sound was also not good. You can check the attached camera sample images and video recording at the end of the post.
Battery
The tablet is packed with 7000 mAh battery which is sufficient for normal office work. It works around 8 hours of continuous usage.
Verdict
Swipe Ultimate 3G is the Windows 8.1 based tablet with magnetic keyboard case. At the price of around 18000, it is worth to buy. If you do not want to buy a laptop, you can buy this tablet cum laptop. It is less than of 1 KG and portable. You can do most of your office work easily.
