darren, Leicester Music, gaming or video fan

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Superb black levels on screen. Great design. Very responsive even when multi tasking. Standard sd card slot. Excellent sound through headphones and speakers. Plays hd videos very well.
Bad points:: Poor software update support. The adapter plug that attaches to the tablet is big and clunky and poorly conceived. No charging. Via usb. The plastic casing and trim feels a bit creaky and flimsy.
