Making headlines is not the sort of practice Thunder Match is usually used to, the retail store brand that has been in operation since 1997, is brewing a storm that is about to change the company’s direction. From a mere retailer and distributor of tech products, Thunder Match is releasing a series of consumer products under the STOM brand name.

First on the list is a 2 in1 tablet STOM Spectrum i100 result of a collaboration with Microsoft and Intel. Together with the tablet the retail chain also unveiled a STOM compustick that turns any screens to a working PC.

We have already gotten the tablet which comes with a detachable keyboard for review, but before we go a full hand on review of the device, here’s a brief introduction to the STOM Spectrum. The 2-in-1 comes with detachable docking keyboard and sports an aluminium body thats both durable and lightweight. As for the display a 10.6 inch IPS is used giving 1920 x 1080 FHD resolution, running on the latest operating software, Windows 10. Internal power is made possible by Intel Atom Z3735F 1.33 Ghz and supported with Intel Bay Trail-CR Z3735F 22nm Quad core HD Gen7 Graphics, and has sufficient memory of 2GB.

This thing also has a camera even at that real low price point, a standard 2-megapixel front camera and 5-megapixel back camera is fitted, basic but will do the job just fine. As thin as the device may look, it has battery capacity of 8900 mAh Li-polymer with output of 4.35V.

The competitive advantage of this device is on their value compare to its competitors. This device is priced at RM1099, and in conjunction with the special occasion, a promotional selling price of RM 999 is being offered for the first 500 customers.
