The Tablet-cum-laptop Twinpad is supremely versatile and its lightness enables you to make the most out of its features while you’re on the move. And you don’t pay too steep a price given the gadget’s versatility. It commands a price of Rs. 15,999 which is much less than other comparable hybrids available in the market.

Specifications – Lava Twinpad

At the core of the Twinpad is a multi-touch 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Though the resolution capacity is certainly not very powerful but it is just par for the course letting you see HD movies, flip through photo albums, and enjoy videogames that are visually enriching. The Twinpad is supported by a quad-core Atom Z3735F from Intel that clocks up 1.33 GHz and receives an additional enhancement of 1.83 GHz enabling you to use high-profile apps without any hindrance or snag.

The Intel chipset also gets a boost from the 2 GB RAM which renders multitasking smooth and easy. Twinpad comes with an internal storage capacity of 32 GB that can be increased or expanded up to a maximum of 64 GB with a microSD card permitting you to make backups of all your significant files and dossiers. Running on Windows 10 OS version, the Tablet-cum-laptop can be personalized according to your needs and preferences.

The Windows 10 OS edition has found worldwide acceptance as this version is supporting more than 200 million gadgets all over the world. So, it is expected that the Twinpad users will be able to fully capitalize on the gadget’s attributes that are highly usable, courtesy the Windows 10 platform.

The multi-touch screen is compatible for use with a stylus that you’d have to buy separately as Lava has not included the component as part of the standard equipment. The design of the device makes it amenable for placing it in both panoramic and portraiture modes when using it as a laptop. The keyboard is detachable which allows you to place the screen atop the same.

The twin digital cameras have the same resolution of 2 megapixels which certainly is nothing to write home but then again the Twinpad was basically developed to deliver the functionalities of a laptop and a Tablet. If you want to make overseas calls using Skype, the front camera comes to your aid.

On the connectivity front, the Twinpad really gets you going. It has a slot for a single SIM that is compliant for linking up with a host of connectivity technologies including 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.0, and GPS. There are two micro-USB ports that make the Tablet compatible for setting up with a range of digital devices. The portability of the device is a plus as it lets you connect to the net and browse regardless of whether you’re relaxing at home, working in office, or traveling.

However, the USP of the Twinpad has to be its battery that has a specification of 7,400 mAh which compares favorably with batteries embedded in other hybrid tablets. This rating is undoubtedly quite high for a 10-inch tablet since even the Huawei MateBook that boasts of a bigger display has a battery with a rating of 4430 mAh.

The Verdict

The Rs. 15, 999 price tag on the Lava Twinpad 2-in-1 Tablet is quite decent in relation to what the device is offering. It is propped by a potent processor on one hand and a handy OS on the other. The device’s functionalities also receive a good boost because of the battery. The Twinpad weighs 570 grams and has a bezel thickness of 8.5 mm that makes it easy to carry around. Surely, the Twinpad is poised to give the Micromax Canvas Laptab, the Huawei MateBook, and the Acer Aspire One a run for their money.
