    I enjoyed my Samsung tablet A more. I don't like that it doesn't sync with my other Samsung devices.

    I haven't rated it as of now because it's a gift for my 8 year old. I'm sure it will be a success.

    Would only recommend this for very small children or someone who just wants to use it for reading. No Google Apps like YouTube, and the screen is dark and the colors are poor.

    I got this tablet strictly for downloading music from my computer to the tablet. It worked for the songs downloaded from the internet, but not for the ones that were downloaded from my cds to my computer.

    I am very diaappointed in the Kindle Fire. It is very slow, it hangs up constantly. You have to open aned click on a tab and then back to the tab you are trying to view to get it to load the pjage you want.

    So i thought i might want this just to read downloaded library books from our library app It was so difficult to use. You have to reconfigure the browser to add the app. Then i could not get googlephotos on without going thru numerous steps. This just wasnt going to work for me. Went back and got my ipad. I had it about 10 days and best buy exchanged no questions

    You can get them a lot cheaper then other tablets but that is exactly what you are getting. The screens go out within 6 months .Even when you get the warranty they give you a hard time at the Mansfield Ohio store.

    If you want to actually use a tablet you probably do not want to buy this 1. I purchased this as a new tablet but my old 1 is faster than this 1. It was a disappointing purchase.

    A so-so tablet and beware of the case melting

    Posted .

    The first day I receive the item, and it's case already started to melt.. I purchased during the black Friday event, and since they don't have this 32 GB version in the store , so i order it online. The setup is not difficult, the screen the speed is okay for its price, the storage is great. The user experience meets my expectations. The issue is the coating of the case start to melt in the first day. I place it on the vanity, letting the screen fading me so I can keeping watching. The issue came after I place it at the same place for about 1 to 2 hour. When I pick up my tablet, I saw a line on the countertop. I use paper towel to wipe it and it's a pile of dark blue to black paint like stuff. And I realize it is the coating from the Amazon fire. I don't know how can a company make a coating that can be melt in a short time. But I am sure I need to exchange it. So be careful and not to place the tablet close to any fluid , the water damage may happen in other condition.
