    I picked this up for my farther in law. It's definitely easy to use and setup - a huge plus for older non tech savvy users. Great features and hardware specs. The price is reasonable as well. Definitely worth the buy.

    It seemed the perfect tablet with FDH screen and sweet-spot 8 inch size, but quickly found that it became unresponsive while browsing with Chrome, a major deal-killer. Checking memory I could see there wasn't much of the 1Gb left after loading the KitKat upgrade.

    Purchased for my 12 year old son. Primarily used to play games. Have not had any issues with it. The 16 GB storage appears to be filling up quickly. A good bit of memory is tied up in the operating system.

    I got this tablet for my Mother in Law to replace her Nexus 7 (2012) that dies. The screen resolution and speed is much better than the Nexus. Is not a workhorse tablet but for under $130 it does the job.

    Got this tablet for a gift. Was looking for a simple no-frills tablet with decent front and rear cameras. The recipient has been very happy with it and likes it. It can be a bit slow at times.

    overall it is a good tablet, only problem I've found is that it takes a while to connect to wifi and refresh. But good deal for the money

    I work in IT and this is one of the absolute worst tablets I have dealt with. It is entirely too slow. Any memory intensive application causes it to freeze constantly. Multi-tasking is next to impossible. Cheaply priced because cheaply made. I cannot believe Dell actually mass produced this tablet. Save your pennies and buy a more expensive, better performing tablet. Needless to say, I returned this item.

    It's one of those products you wish you had spent the extra $50.00. I have xfinity Internet. This device drags. It's very unresponsive. Sometimes I can't even get the volume to go up or down. The internet on this dell lags, and sometimes it want even go back for 30-40 seconds. My iPhone is way faster than this. I guess it works for the few things I need to do, but not without aggravation.

    Good tablet for basic use, but a little slow getting started. It always seems to take minute to work without lagging, but once it gets going it is great!
