Being a mom is a full-time job, we need things to help manage each day, and something to go to after the kids fall asleep, and your alone time consumes this tablet. whether its listening to music, wasting money on Amazon, or reading your favorite book. This tablet is awesome, I have owned and reviewed many throughout the 7 years. By far this one reaches #1 in my book.
The screen is huge, and I mean huge. It’s very sleek, holds well in adult and kids hands well. It’s thin making it easy to store away in your purse, laptop bag, hidden in the car, and so on. After being on a laptop all day, its nice to come to a tablet like this one, while laying in bed playing games, or surfing FB/web.
Battery time on it, is pretty good, easily 3 days on a charge, if you only use it surfing, playing games well, the battery only lasts one day. I do however think its odd, that hit has to use a special cord plug-in for charging. Won’t charge on any of the million mini USB cords you have, you need this little box with a fan type thing in the middle that attached to the prongs to charge it. So don’t lose that little box, or your tablet won’t charge.
The camera is great for outdoors only as it doesn’t have a flash, however you can attach those mini clips on the camera, to create one. The front camera is pretty good for the MP it has on it. Great for outdooring, fairs, events, business meeting, and anywhere else the tablet goes.
The memory built-in, is pretty decent amount, if your tablet is for gaming, for your kids, I suggest getting a Micro SD card to put into it. We were only able to get like 20 games on it easy without the SD card. If it’s just for surfing, then you won’t need a card. Though I suggest getting a card for it anyways, nowadays they cost next to nothing.
The unit has one small button for on, sleep, and off, then right below it, is a double button for volume. Has spots for headphones, HDMI, and the charge spot, all right next to each other, and it sits at the top, which I like way better than at the bottom.
All in all this tablet is the best one I have owned, it’s quick to response, doesn’t lag, WIFI is strong on it, good amount of built-in memory, slim, and sleek. You will just love how big the screen is, compared to your little tablets at home. You can get covers for this tablet on the net or in stores, if your kids keep taking it from you, and return it to you when it dies ::eye rolls::.
