I was thinking of one of these for general media use until I looked at the websites FAQ.

http://www.linx-tablets.com/linx-faq.html
Can you add the tablets to a network?
No, they do not support domain joining so you wouldn't be able to add to a network
Can users drag and drop files onto the tablet from a PC/laptop?
No, it is not possible as the windows tablet cannot act as mass storage device like that. The windows tablets are essentially the same as a PC/laptop, just like if you connect two laptops via USB, they cannot read either or transfer files.
If the user wants to get files to their tablet, they should transfer to a USB key then use the OTG cable to connect to the tablet and copied them to the tablet or add them to a micro SD card and insert directly to the micro SD slot and copy to the tablet from there.
-------------------------------
This might make it a little difficult to get the files you want to play onto them, other than copying them one at a time. Although BitTorrentSync might solve this problem.
The FAQ also says that the Office365 sub is locked to the tablet only, so not installable elsewhere.
Perhaps after a while someone will produce a hack that will open these up more, or a Linux install that will allow more features people want?
