I recently picked up an open box Winbook TW700 from Microcenter for $48 (on
sale for $59 new) hoping that it could handle some SDR applications.... it
does.
I'm able to run ADSBSharp with ADSBScope, as well as SDRSharp. I haven't
tried Unitrunker yet, but it should work. I'm using a RTL2832 dongle.
The device's 1GB of RAM isn't a limiting factor and it's quad core Atom CPU
is handling everything smoothly so far. The usable storage after Windows
updates is a little low, but a SD card should help a bit.
It also comes with a one year Office 365 license, which offsets the cost,
if you are going to buy a license anyway.
There are several reviews on YouTube for those looking for more
information.
Just thought I'd share with the group.
