The battle for the home tablet market is most certainly on, with Microsoft today announcing the “Pendo Pad 8” will be available in Target stores across Australia from later this week.
From September 25 $199 at Target will get you Windows 8.1 on an 8inch touch screen with 16GB of storage and a one year Office 365 subscription.
Considering an Office 365 subscription is normally $108 for the year, you’re getting a stunning deal on the tablet.
Perfect for the kids perhaps?
We’ll have a full review of the Pendo Pad 8 soon!

16 GB storage? Is that enough? The Surface Pro 3 requires up to 27GB for the OS and included software and that’s before updates. How much free space is there on the Pendo Pad 8?

Great question – I’ll have a look once I get one!
