<br>
The full size USB port is a host port, not a client port as seen on many tablets.<br>

NO As far as I can see, it's virtually identical except for the larger screen. The port complement (which sets these Microcenter tablets apart from all other small cheap Windows tablets - especially the FULL SIZE USB port) on the two is identical.<br>
<br>
The only differences I can see is that the 8" unit has a USB 3.0 port instead of USB 2.0, and weighs one ounce more.<br>

8" would seem better for aging eyes - unless the touch screen/<br>

In my experience so far the touchscreen is virtually useless for conventional Windows programs since the standard Windows GUI widgets (icons, scroll bars, resizing handles in the corners of windows, items in menu lists, radio buttons, etc) are just too small for the average un-mutated human finger to reliably hit on screens this small. Not to mention the problem of how do you do mouse right-clicks.<br>
<br>
Assume that you WILL ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY get a Bluetooth mouse to go with either of these devices. And a 32 or 64GB micro-SD card for more storage.<br>
