Unboxing a nextbook Flexx 11 Tablet

  I have been looking for a replacement to my  Franklin Planner for a while now. Every year I spend at least $28 dollars for the next year's replacement pages and my page holder is wearing out.
  After looking at different tablets, I settled on the nextbook Flexx 11.
  Why?
  • It has an Intel Atom Z3735F Quad-core processor, 1.33 GHz with Burst up to 1.83 GHz, 2 MB cache
  • It runs Windows 8.1 and it will download Windows 10 when it comes out
  • It has a large 11.6" touch screen with 1366 x 768 pixels and Intel HD Graphics
  • It comes with a keyboard that comes off like the Surface 
  • The keyboard protects the screen when closed
  • It has two USB 2.0 ports on the keyboard and it has a Micro USB port on the tablet
  • It has a micro HDMI port on the tablet
  • It comes with 2 GB system memory and 64 GB of storage which can be expanded an extra 64 GB with a micro SD card
  • It has wifi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth connectivity
  • All my current programs can run on it and there's more
 Unboxing
   I bought it at Walmart but you can buy at other places.

Outer Box

  There is an outer box and an inner box.

Inner Box


  The inner box has two sections: The larger nextbook section and the smaller recharging / power cord section.

Inner box opened up
  The larger section of the inner box contains the nextbook Flexx 11 tablet and all the manuals. The smaller section contains the charging power cord and US plug adapter.
  The plug is kind of interesting. You have to insert the US plug adapter into the holder in order to plug it into the wall. See the pictures below. It is kind of hard to mate the two pieces together the first time. This charging cord plugs into the tablet itself.

  All the manuals are inside resealable plastic bags and are located under the tablet.


Manuals
    There is a nice Quick Start laminated guide and it says to fully charge the nextbook before turning it on. I plugged the charger in and an LED lights up red near where you plug in the charger. One thing I found awkward was the headphone/speaker jack is very near the charger jack and I think it would be easy to try and plug the charger into the wrong hole. I didn't try to but it sure looks like the same size. There is markings by the two holes so if you pay attention, you will be fine.
  Another odd thing is that the charging light shines RED while charging (it takes up to 4 hours the first charge) and ORANGE when it is fully charged. I don't know why they wouldn't have used GREEN when it's fully charged. See pictures below.




  This ends the Unboxing review. Please see my review of the nextbook Flexx 11 tablet for my initial thoughts on the tablet itself. Thanks for taking time to look through this review.
