I will just add - I bought a cheap no-name Android tablet and got a great impression. It has a low-res screen, yes, but other than that I can't complain. The system is vanilla android with no crapware, it's easy to use, it's OK for playing videos and basic games.
- bitcartel 14y agoGood to hear stories like this. Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it's rubbish. A $99 Android tablet has a better operating system and in some cases better hardware than the first and second generation iPads.
- chipsy 14y agoI just spent a few days off-and-on Android tablet shopping/researching. It's an exciting and fast-moving market. The generics have some great selling points - they're always the first movers on new chipsets, so you can get good specs for cheaper. The downside is that they're bad at the device integration and quality control aspects, and that can really burn the buyer. OTOH, average quality seems to be better than it was just a few years ago - I think in another year or two some of those companies might become worthy competition for the big names. This import reseller has some really interesting articles on recent market developments: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/articles http://www.topnotchtablets.com/articles In the end I gave up on the generics and got the Lenovo A2109. In the past I've biased towards Lenovo for laptops too - they never have amazing specs for the price range, but they're one of the only manufacturers that are willing to advertise the physical sturdiness of their equipment, and that always puts me over the fence.
