The Alcatel Plus 10 2-in-1 tablet is in stock at Three for a bargain price

After a laptop and a tablet but don’t want to spend a fortune? Then you should seriously consider the Alcatel Plus 10, which runs Windows 10 and has a detachable keyboard, so you can use it as either.

But there’s a lot more to it than that, because the keyboard has its own 5830mAh battery, combining with the 2580mAh battery in the slate itself for long, long life.

And there are actually three ways to use the tablet – on its own, with a keyboard in laptop mode, or using the keyboard as a stand for movie viewing.

And you’ll want to watch movies on it, as the Alcatel Plus 10 has a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 screen, so there’s plenty of room to work and watch, and there’s plenty of storage space too, with 32GB built in, plus a microSD card slot with support for up to 64GB more. And thanks to two speakers you’ll get loud stereo sound, even without headphones.

In another clever twist, you can also not only add a SIM card for mobile data, but even use the Alcatel Plus 10 as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, to get up to 15 devices online.

It’s also got a 1.92GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a USB port for adding accessories, a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front-facing one, making for a well-equipped slate with a sleek, lightweight design.

You might think that sounds expensive, but in fact Three is offering it from just £18 per month with £49 upfront. That’s for a 24-month contract with 2GB of monthly data.

There are various other deals available, but the best value is probably £25 per month plus £49 upfront for 20GB of data – which is available exclusively through us and is twice as much data as you’d usually get at that price.

Or, if you don’t want a contract you can grab the Alcatel Plus 10 for £229.99 on Pay As You Go, with 1GB of data thrown in.
