Great Product
I purchased the tablet on pure curiosity. Used it and enjoyed it. I purchased an Insignia Powered USB Hub and connected a mouse and keyboard combo via the micro USB port. I installed Adobe Illustrator and worked on a few designs. I was surprised that this little tablet handled the workload like a champ. I managed to get about 5 hours of usage while on Illustrator. On another day, I watched Netflix and some YouTube videos and got about 4 hours of use before I needed to recharge. I basically used this tablet as a mini PC and was amazed at how much it can do. I've been using this tablet daily and have yet to find a problem with it. I recommend this tablet for anyone who's looking to buy a "laptop" on a low budget. This tablet has exceeded my expectations for such a low price. A++++

Surprising
I wanted a tablet that was smaller and easier to carry than my older 10" tablet. The Insignia 8" tablet seemed to fit my need. The fact that its operating system was Windows 10 was intriguing but at less than $100.00 was it be a “full” version of Windows? Yes, it was! After the tablet updated the latest version of Windows, and what little bloatware that came with the tablet was removed, I had a Windows 10 “computer.” It easily paired with my bluetooth mouse, keyboard and headphones. It worked with a couple of eBook readers I tried and even ran a custom written database that was compiled with QuickBasic 64 (QB64). Chrome web browser and MS Live Mail work great and I could watch Xfinity streaming videos with no buffering. It’s not without some drawbacks. The small screen makes it difficult to manipulate some functions—a mouse helps—and there is some lag opening or closing windows and programs. It’s not a MS Surface tablet, but, overall it was far more than I expected.

Reviewed but returnnsed
I had this tablet for 24 hours and ultimately returned it as it did not suit my needs because I ended up doubling up on technology for which this was intended. HOWEVER... this tablet is great for what it is intended!!! I had planned to use it as a media device with a quick n dirty allowance for the web. It is fast, good colors on screen, simple to use and an overall better tablet than it's original Windows 8 iteration. Good tablet for very simple usage. It is Windows 10 OS which is simple and streamlined for all kinds of use. Windows 10, actually, improved the Insignia tablet because the OS is less complicated than Windows 8.1. Therefore Insignia's tablet shines. I realize a lot to say for someone who returned the item... but as stated, I doubled up on my needs. If my other device was not in the mix...THIS would be

Windows 10 in a Tablet format
Being a tablet it does not keep as long of a charge (day and a half), but the size is perfect as a basic reader, that can also do some windows tasks. Email, One note etc. Light weight plastic body, the screen has two point touch which is a positive. Low cost and easy to use for my 5-day a week commute. Small storage can be extended with a memory card. For me this worked on price. For others, another tablet might be their preference.

Good Bang for the Buck
Bought this tablet to use in my work truck. Added a 128gb micro-sd card and a bluetooth keyboard folio and it works great. I sync it with my laptop via homegroup network when I get back to my desk at the end of the day. I like being able to run my regular Windows software on it. It will even power a portable usb hard-drive. Not as fast as my i5 laptop but plenty fast for basic needs. Boots up fast and battery life gets me through the day. I doubt you could do better for the $99 price and I got mine on sale for $79 and had Best Buy rewards too. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy again!
