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.
