If a person was planning to get a v820w Onda tablet would there be a way to make sure it actually is V3 (based on the assumption that V3 is the most compatible version regarding Sailfish... or Linux installations in general)? I suppose looking for Win8 + Android 4 instead of Win10 + Android 5 is a start but anything else?

@TheKit You're awesome for helping move the reality of a working SalifishOS tablet closer to being realised!
Does anyone recommend a source for the v3 Onda? I've found it offered on multiple sites (geekbuying.com, everbuying.net, etc.) but am not certain as to their reputation. Is it best to try and buy off eBay?
Thanks!

I ended up ordering from here (EDIT: was sold out, after all). ATM it was the only Win 8.1 version I could find available and I figured the chances for V3 would be higher there, but let's see what I end up actually getting.)
EDIT: Seems like V3 are non-existent for now and even V5 are getting scarcer as many sellers reported having sold-out. Ordered one V5 (according to the seller) from eBay. We'll see...
