Reviews

The tablet is a 10.1-inch runs dual-core ARM Cortex-A processor at 1.5GHz. Has display resolution of 1280 X 800 pixels, which is decent. Other features includes WI-Fi by default, USB port on the back hence you can use a dongle, MicroSD ort for upping the 8GB or 16GB capacity and HDMI-out that (with an option cable) to connect to your TV.

Good things

The tablet is reasonably cheap an affordable iPad alternative, even though it doesn’t feel as sturdy or slick as iPad 2.

Finishing in sleek black plastic with brushed metal backplates, the Tablet feels quite slim (measuring 12.6mm is amongst the slimmest of its kind) and its extremely light weigh 480g, with storage of 16GB (the version with 250GB hard drive weighs 755g and 15.6mm thick).

It has a widescreen for people who love watching movies, video chat.


Bad things

The front –facing webcam, which offers video chat, is quite poor and only offers VGA (0.3-megapixel) resolution.

You will need to pay extra over the base model price for plug-ins to unlock the full potential of the product and (more recently) that it restricts users to its own Android application library.
