Background
In May 2023, I was browsing around online and came across the Basics BasicbookS BB1022FW. As I feel that it is a smaller, more compact, and nice laptop/tablet design that I can bring around more easily, I thought about it for a few days before finally deciding to purchase it.

The Basics BasicbookS BB1022FW is a 10.1-inch touchscreen laptop/tablet from which the keyboard can be detached. Windows 11 Pro pre-loaded inside. A stylus pen is included in the package.

Usage and Experience
I have used the Basics BasicbookS BB1022FW for almost 2 months since this post. I use this mainly for productivity purposes, like reading emails and using Microsoft Office. Hence the Intel Celeron processor with 8GB RAM was all right for me for such tasks.
Playing videos on YouTube is not an issue. It was smooth with 1080p mode full screen, but it may take some time to load.
The stylus pen is a good inclusion to the laptop/tablet. I did not really use it much but it comes in handy when it is needed to write, draw or sign something. It was smooth when using it.
Both the front and back cameras are decent. Unfortunately, it can't be used for Facial recognition (Windows Hello) as it is not supported.
I wished that the USB C port supports charging but it does not.
I have not been paying attention to the battery life as I did not use it from full to flat. I reckon it can last about 4 to 5 hours if playing videos all the way.
