Too bad it's discontinued (late 2014) !

I only write reviews after I've used a product a couple of months, so I can be confident of my assessment. Bought the "NS-15AT10 Insignia 10.1 Flex Tablet" in Dec 2014, it's now Feb 2015 -- and I doubt you can find these in any BestBuy store now, it's been discontinued. Too bad, it's an excellent value. If you can find one on Clearance in a BestBuy store, and you want to try out a 10" tablet, get it.
This is the 2014 model: NS-15AT10 . There was a previous model (NS-14T004) which doesn't measure up to the NS-15AT10, in many ways.
The NS-15AT10 has features that rival or beat the name-brand tablets at 5x the price, at least during 2014. It's not a dedicated gaming device and doesn't match theater-quality "retina" tablets -- if those are important to you, and price is no object, then look elsewhere. But those aren't my requirements, and I couldn't justify spending $500+ for those features.
NS-15AT10 Insignia 10.1 Flex Tablet:
HDMI port (!)
Quad-core 2GHz processor
Android 4.4.2
1280x800 screen resolution
16GB internal storage
1GB RAM
microSD card slot
Bluetooth
Front camera: 1.9 mpix, Rear camera: 5 mpix
Sensors: Gyroscope, Light, Accelerometer,
Magnetic field, Gravity, Acceleration
GPS
About the only thing I'd like to see is an LED flash for the rear camera (not so much for picture-taking, since a large tablet wouldn't be used much for that -- but for the "flashlight" ability). Would also be nice to have NFC, but Bluetooth is fine for nearby transfers.
I haven't had any issues with WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, or any of the sensors. Battery life is good; I haven't timed it but I've certainly gone over 8 hours of use. I object to some of the restrictions that Android 4.4 puts on user access to external memory, but that's hardly Insignia's fault.
I'm very pleased with the tablet, definitely got my money's worth.

It has a nice responsive screen to it and very clear picture. Takes nice pictures on it for the price. It has Google Play which is nice, but I also downloaded Amazon App Store as well. It has stopped a couple of times, but not sure why. I think increasing the external Micro SD card will help with that, at least I hope. My kids love it as well. I plan on getting the Wacom Pen (Fine tip) for it as well. I spoke with the sales rep and he said it will work for this tablet. I have had no problems with staying connected to Wi-Fi, as of yet. For me, it's great. Has a nice size screen, very clear picture, many available apps.

Purchased for an older family member as an entry tablet. The larger screen size is easy on the eyes, easy to see in most angles, OS is responsive and thus far after three weeks have no complaints. Output options are adequate.

Initially I bought the tablet to have a great reader. The pricing was reasonable and I was willing to spend it to get a 10.1 reader. Since then I have used it for many of the regular uses of the internet. Well worth the time and effort. Set up a network at home, easy to do. Don't know about gaming but for email, internet use, it is great.

Decent starter tablet

It's a decent starter tablet or tablet for kids but definitely not a "high-end" tablet. image quality is good, set up was easy enough by syncing with gmail, and even the amazon apps work well with it. it's a tad on the heavier side of tablets but that's actually not a bad thing when its in the hands of my 5 year old who has become the main user of the tablet. the screen has enough real estate to make the learning apps easy enough to see and use. the only real issues I've had with it have been that it got a little warm with heavy use, and with an app that made camera crash and require factory reset but Insignia support was VERY helpful with that.

excellent value 10 inch tablet

I needed to replace an older model 7 inch tablet which had slow response time and was intrigued by the value in this 10 inch tablet. At $150 I couldn't pass it up. It loads web pages faster and plays videos just fine. That's all I was needing as I mainly use it for web surfing. The on / off and volume buttons are almost flush with the tablet's edge and I would prefer they were easier to locate by feel. That's the only negative. It's not quite as fast and fancy as the higher priced brands but is plenty good enough and a great value in my opinion.

When I bought this I wasn't expecting a 600 dollar tablet. I usually just read email, surf the web, read books, and read comic books. It does all that excellently.

This is a great pad for viewing movies and surfing the net. I use it while traveling to kill the time. The sound system is lacking a little, but, it does the job.

Really love this tablet, works great, good battery life. Only thing is the sound, which works great on everything except music and movies. If you're planning on using this to listen to music or watching movies get yourself a good speaker.

Other reviewers have noted that the response is sometimes sluggish, which I, too, have found. However, I am still pleased with it as it serves the purposes for which I bought it. Shortly after my purchase I received an e-mail from Best Buy with creative ideas on uses for it, and I am looking forward to trying some of them.
