The overall rating is based on review by our dedicated team and users.
Alcatel has unveiled its first Windows 10 tablet, the Alcatel Plus 12.
This fresh device aims to compete with the likes of the Microsoft Surface Pro through its combination of portability, versatility, and affordability.
Sporting a 12-inch full HD touchscreen powered by an Intel Celeron processor, the Plus 12 packs decent mid-range specs into a slim, lightweight body measuring just 7.9mm thick and 599g.
Productivity on the go is enabled through its detachable keyboard case which impressively contains a built-in LTE modem for internet connectivity without WiFi.
Versatility stems from brilliant extras like a handy stylus for drawing and note-taking, a rear 5MP camera, and a fingerprint scanner for quick secure access.
Connectivity options are also generous with a USB-C port alongside micro HDMI-out and support for storage expansion through MicroSD cards up to 128GB.
Alcatel is aggressively pricing the Plus 12 to take on devices like the Surface Pro 4.
Costs are kept down through compromises like the use of lesser Intel Celeron silicon rather than pricier Core chips.
Battery life is rated at 8 hours web browsing, not outstanding but ample for a device prioritizing portable productivity.
Early hands-on impressions reveal an impressively premium metal design belying its mid-range cost. As a fresh player in the Windows tablet game, the Plus 12 cements Alcatel as one to watch with its keen pricing likely making a splash.
With its smart combination of portability and productivity feats, Alcatel has built a Windows tablet that could give the Surface Pro a run for its money.
