This was a great buy! I am extremely happy with this purchase. I initially purchased the 16gb but after running updates I realized that I would need more storage. Surfs well and it's the perfect size. Battery life seems to hold up well, out of the box I poked around the Internet for 3-4 hours watching videos on YouTube. Volume can be a little tricky due to rear speaker. Front facing camera is a little grainy but you are able to capture a usable photo. Rear facing camera is right inline with all of your common devices currently on the market. Fits well in my hands in both orientations. Easy setup, had it connected to all my accounts in less the 15 minutes. Great little tablet, not to mention a great price.

This is the second tablet I've owned so my experience is limited. I use my Iconia for daily tasks such as surfing and email, I don't game. The screen is fine and i haven't had any issues with touch sensitivity. I upgraded to the 8" tablet size after using a 7" for two years. I like to type with my thumbs as I hold the tablet and the 7" fit perfectly, but wanted a little more viewing size. The 8" is perfect in that sense. I've borrowed a 10" tablet and found it to be heavy and too big for the way I hold my tablet. This 8" Iconia is fast enough, has good battery life and is the right size for average male hands. My only complaint is that the back of it is smooth and slippery, whereas my last tablet had a grippier feel. This makes the Iconia harder to handle. I rectified this by sticking adhesive rubber pads on the back.

I've had this tablet for a few months now and have absolutely no complaints. It works as intended nice screen, nice battery life, the cameras can be better but i don,t use them so its not a problem for me, but my be a deal breaker for some , otherwise i like it a lot. I got it for the amount of space it has and the price i couldn't beat for the quality of the tablet.
