    I purchased the Insignia tablet because the Fire 7 that I had bought several months earlier was just a tad too small This Insignia 8 is very nice because I can hold it in the palm of my left hand and use my right hand to maipulate the texting and browsing. Very happy with the tablet. .

      Thank you very much for reviewing this tablet, the lagging on the games may be caused by low saving memory or RAM memory however remember that you can use your 1 year of manufacturers warranty to have this checked by your local Geek Squad.

    Then what is one to expect from a good tablet at a reasonable price? Do not have a lot of uses for a tablet so not willing to spend big bucks. This Best Buy brand product exceeded my expectations. It even had the latest Android version. I may be using this tablet more than expected.

    Was going to be a Christmas present for a family member. I turned it on and got it all set up but when Christmas came it was fully charged but couldn't get passed the boot screen with the Instignia logo. It was stuck in a boot loop and couldn't do anything about it. Most likely a firmware issue. Instead of getting a replacement we just went for a refund and got a samsung tab. Samsung tab was great and no issues. Don't waste your time with the Instignia tablet.

    Bad time keeping

    This Iconia could not keep the correct time zone. Each time I set it to central time (either manually, by network, or GPS) it reverted back to Eastern time within a few hours. I spent over an hour speaking with Acer support and it still changed the time back. I was disappointed in the plastic cover for the microSD card. If you opened it very often it will probably break. Otherwise it performed as advertised. So if you don't need the correct time it is ok.

    I bought this for my daughter. It had terrible picture quality and she couldn't play any games. About 3 weeks later it wouldn't even turn on.
