- Good points:
- Surprisingly good screen for the price. Weighs next to nothing. Expandable via MicroSD (believe 32GB is the max). Decent battery life - several hours of use, split between browsing and films.
- Bad points:
- Taking the price and expectations of a "cheap" tablet into account, none really. Screen picks up fingerprints easily but a 2 second job to wipe clean.

- Good points:
- Good price (with cashback). Compared to other 7" tablet I got for the same price 6 months ago this is substantially better, much quicker and better screen
- Bad points:
- No as light as it makes out and you couldn't use it one handed for any length of time.
