If we asked you what was the 5th largest tablet supplier in the US, would any of you answer E FUN? Probably not, but apparently it is. And now they’re making their foray into the hybrid market with their first Android 2-in-1 laptop tablet, the Nextbook Ares 11. While it may not be the high-powered gadget that you’ve always dreamed of, at least it strives to bring you value for money with its features and functions.
The Nextbook Ares 11 is somewhere in between: it’s bigger than a tablet, but smaller than a laptop, with its 11.6-inch tablet with a detachable keyboard. It runs on a Quad-Core Intel® AtomTM Z3735F Processor (X86, 1.8GHz) and it already comes with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop (which is better than a lot of more high-end devices that have yet to receive that update). The detachable keyboard is backlit and comes with two standard USB ports while the touch screen is 1366 x 768 IPS capacitive.
It has just 1GB memory and 64GB internal storage, with the microSD slot capable of supporting up to another 64GB. So this is not something that you can use to install heavy programs or lots of games and multi-media. But it would be perfect for students looking for a simple machine to use for school or casual users that just need word processing or web surfing basic features. You can also watch movies or TV shows through streaming services like VUDU or Flixster, or reading ebooks (the Nook app is preloaded already).
Of course the best part about is that it is just $197 (with some high-end smartphones costing higher than that). You will be able to buy the Nextbook Ares 11 at Walmart stores and online at walmart.com.

Anyone else’s keyboard Not working?? Please help..unable to use it..am I docking incorrectly?
Gege make sure the keyboard is left in the upright position when you dock/undock it. When you dock it, align up the slots on the tablet side with the locking clamps and where the four pins meet the conductors. Be careful with this hybrid though. I’m still debating returning mine. Long story short I bought one at the local Walmart and had to exchange it. The first one had hardware malfuntions i.e speakers had staic feed back out of the box and nothing was playing. The ICS sceen was spontaneous with its responses. Had trouble with turning it on when I would power cycle it. This second one I returned the first for has some issues as well, when I set up my accounts to sync with all google apps i.e google play music, the music will start playing irradically out of the blue. And again the screen is unresponsive at times, when I power it off then back on it has a black screen and never runs the script for the boot password unlock. I have to tap the space bar for it to run the script and it then will come up. Ok sorry, I said long story short but this is a semi review and warning for those who look to purchase this hybrid. All in all it wouldnt be a bad tablet if E FUN just had a bad batch put out this first three months of it’s release. I recommened waiting another 3-4 months before purchasing so they can work out the hardware and software issues.
Bought two at Walmart. Neither worked properly.
Is this device is capable for computer applications like turbo c++ and netbeans?
