A: I asked the same question when I bought mine. The sales rep explained that Insignia is Best Buy's store brand and they can build the units at a relatively inexpensive cost. He assured me that the parts were all from name brand suppliers. You are simply not paying for the "NAME". I've only had mine for a month as of this writing, but have had good success (see my review for more details).
Q: Would this be good for college students ?
A: This was bought for my daughter to use in college as her standard sized laptop was too large to easily be carried around on a daily basis. Since Microsoft Office 365 was the standard used by all departments on campus, an ipad or android device would not have worked very well. So far there have been no issues loading and running Office or connecting to various wifi spots. Also, in tablet mode it makes a pretty good e-reading device for digital textbooks. My daughter also says the keyboard layout is more comfortable to use while typing than my slightly smaller 10" tablet. We compared the keyboard size to a Surface and they seem about the same overall.
A: It is one of the newer USB connections. It is USB-C, so you will not be able to use one of your other charging devices, unless it is USB-C.
Q: What is the difference between model Nos. NS-P11W7100 and W6100?
A: the old w6100 uses an old version atom processor Z3735F the 7100 uses a newer cherry trail x5 z8300 which is smaller so it runs cooler the performance is similar but the graphics are a little better on the newer chip
Q: Is there an onscreen (touchpad) keyboard, or do you have to use the external one?
A: There are both a touchscreen keyboard and the detachable keyboard.
Q: Are there any other options for word and excel other than the subscription that work on this tablet
A: Hi Sam, I'm not sure if Office is sold as a one-time purchase anymore since they like to push the Office 365 Subscription. However, you can use Office in a web browser. Just log into the mobile versions of Word/Excel/PowerPoint. If you have a hard time finding them, I know you can access them through the OneDrive website. Another solution would be to install OpenOffice (free open source office suite) onto the device.
Q: can i access i tunes, type papers ,hook up to a printer to this device
A: Yes, it is a fully functioning computer running windows 10.
A: It probably is. Mine was unusable due to numerous defects. after about 2 days it could not locate my wi-fi router. Get your money back.
