The tablet's storage capacity is noted as sufficient by some, especially with expandable memory options.

    I use it at home to review the news or events on Youtube or other platforms. Takes a little time to startup but once its on-line the videos work fine with no pausing.

    Tablet works well. Good battery life, great for watching movies on the airplane. Video could be a little stronger, but for the price this seems like a great value.

    I have already returned it once for manufacturer defect and now the replacement one is giving problems. Very disappointed. I bought it for my fiancée and being I already had this brand (16") without problems thought it would be a good purchase for her, but instead have had nothing but headaches and about ready to take it back for a second replacement. Keeps freezing, slow loading, shuts down in middle of every game or when googling, extremely slow to charge, constant problem. Will not be recommending this particular item to friend and family.

    I have already purchased this tablet on another occasion so when I seen it on sale I took the opportunity to buy another. It's fast and does exactly what I need it to

    My Insignia Flex does everything I was hoping it would and more. It even plays on demand TV video from Comcast better than my laptop! The only real negative is the inability to connect a USB or XLR microphone to it through a professional interface so that professional audio can be recorded into sound editing software. I also found that the power cord input is located in a bad place for use with a cover case. You have to move one of the mounting brackets to gain access to the AC input.

    Wish it had better protective case options. But it works great. Only exception is sometimes you have to hold the power button in for a longer time to boot it up.

    Nice basic tablet, I use it mostly for my email, surfing the internet, and news apps. It works fine on those tasks but it's not great for playing clash of clans, the app hangs intermittently at certain times during play. I haven't tried any other games so I don't know whether other games would have the same problem.

    I bought this to learn / refresh my knowledge of Android. The hardware is great but Android is still far inferior to Windows and iOS for it stability. Apps work once or twice then you have to refresh the tablet / OS and start over.
