Customer Review

          I bought this tablet as a present for my 11 year old son. I wanted something more than a portable game machine. I did a bit of homework and had a low (beginner) price range. I must say I am really impressed with what I got for my money. It plays some cool games but more than that he can look things up on the web, check out sports, and log onto his schools web site for assignments. It is fairly fast. It is no Ipad2, but for the money it is a great tool/ toy. Some cons I would say is that touch screen seems unresponsive at times. I notice that my son seems to navigate it with ease so maybe this is just me. Downloads seem a bit slower than what I would expect from a 800mhz processor, but they still are not brutally slow. All in all it did not break the bank, my son loves it, and even I am wishing I had one myself.
