blackview Blackview 13 Inch Tablet with Keyboard, Android 15 Review

The Blackview 13 Inch Tablet is a budget 2-in-1 that tries to be a laptop replacement. It comes with a keyboard and runs Android 15, aiming directly at students and light work. The 3:4 screen ratio is its main selling point, designed for reading documents and web pages like a book.

The Helio G100 chip and 6GB of physical RAM (plus some virtual RAM) get the job done for basic tasks. It'll handle note-taking apps, video calls, and light document editing just fine. But don't expect it to run heavy software or multitask like a champ. The WiFi 5 connectivity is also a step behind, and the screen quality lands in a low percentile.

At around $210, it's cheap. You're getting a full tablet and keyboard combo for the price of a barebones iPad. That's the trade-off. The value is in the bundle, not in any single component being exceptional.

Stack it up against an iPad or a Surface, and the differences are stark. An iPad Pro has a vastly better screen and app ecosystem, but costs four times as much without a keyboard. A Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra blows it away in every performance metric. The Blackview's real competition is other budget Android tablets. Its unique 3:4 screen and included keyboard give it a niche, but you're giving up a lot of polish and power.

Buy this if you need a super cheap typing machine for school notes or basic web work and you specifically want that book-like screen. If you care more about media, apps, or future-proofing, even a used iPad is a smarter buy.
