http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/8-inch-tablet-pc-android/ Looks okay for $129 - compared to $500+ for an iPad or Galaxy Tab. Gripes: - 3 hour battery - only 4GB storage - Only running Android 2.3 (would this be easy to upgrade to say, ICS?) Pros: - Cheap - Microphone and Webcam built in What do you guys think? -------------------- i7 2600k | Z68A-GD80 | 8GB RAM | HD7970 | 120GB SSD | 1kW PSU | Butchered Case | Water Cooling | U2713H

Great for the price, you'll need more than 4GB of storage though.

Put it this way, it's priced cheap for a reason.

yea i am not considering this for myself. i've no need for a tab, but someone asked me about it given that i usually know my tech.
it seems less powerful than my galaxyII in almost very way.. any other cheap tab alternatives, that may be any better?

Def wouldn't touch it now it's $279. I have an older 7" from them. The rom is not great. It's not a 3g tablet yet 90% of the battery life disappears on cellular standby and sssoooo many apps are not compatible with it. Does the job as a media player for a 3yo though.

I guess the $129 was just a promotional price because it's worth $279 now. But anyway, I do agree with others here that tablets like this are priced low for a reason. the very first thing that comes to mind is the quality and it would always be the biggest issue for these kinds of devices.
I would always go for a device with a higher price as long as I have the guarantee of getting good quality and a i can use it for several years. |
