    I bought this tablet on sale for $60 the day before I left for a road trip across the country with a 2 year old. The tablet I had at home didn't have enough memory to download a movie. I bought this because it had a spot for external memory. I think the only downside is it is a tad slow but it is perfect for basic use. I love the Android operating system. I would definitely recommend this to beginners or for kids or anyone who wants to do the basics.

    My daughter loves this tablet! It's a good size and was easy to use. The only thing is the charging port is easy to bend inside and break easy.

    Seems like a good tablet. Got 2 for my kids, they seem fast enough to keep up. The one tablet seems like it does not hold a charge as well

    Bought this tablet to use at school with my special needs students. It is very easy to use and I really like the 8" screen. Gives a very crisp, clear picture and it's battery life is good. I am pleased with the overall operation of this tablet. My only wish is that it didn't take so long to turn on.

    I bought this tablet for my dad on his birthday. He love it to use it as it has bigger screen than phone. Also I download translate program , he use scan to read it. So he will understand so many words . It's very convenient in life. Very great price for a beginner to use it. So far no any probablem yet!! I bought another 10" one again!:)

    Insignia 8" 16GB Tablet, White

    OK, I admit that I didn't buy the phone I went to Best Buy to purchase because it wasn't in stock so I just started looking at other things. My grand children all have and love their tablets. This Insignia brand happened to be on sale and, since it was a color other than black or gray, it attracted me. We have 2 insignia brand television sets and have had other insignia products in the past so I find it to be a worthy brand name. Another customer, waiting for someone who was engaging the salesman was actually the person who sold me on this particular tablet based on what I told him I would be using it for. Dear Lord, I love young people who are kind! By the time the salesman was free, I just told him which one I wanted and bought it. I am delighted with this purchase! I've used this device every single day since I bought it. I download and read books, download and use various music clips and meditations, check my e-mail and use it to keep up with Facebook. This old Granny doesn't let much grass grow under her feet and this tablet is just the ticket!

    I bought this for my Dad. He is hearing impaired and we wanted to download a voice to text app on a device that we could leave out conveniently for people to use when visiting with him. This is great and handy and we are able to use it for so much more.

    Purchased this for an older family member with limited computer experience hoping it would be an easy way for him to get comfortable. It is okay, not as easy to navigate as some. Don't like the "menu" button on the screen - too easy to tap accidently and lose where you are. Also keyboard numbers too close to letters-big fingers have a hard time not hitting the number when intend a letter. Overall, it's okay and not a bad product for the price.

    Bought 2 of these for our grandsons. They work well so far and were very easy to set up. The boys tell us that they are faster than their last tablets and their games work well on them. Would rate them a 5 but we had to exchange 1 of them after 2 days because the screen continued to have problems.

    Great price. Speed is fonominal. Perfect tablet for the job. My patients love having the option to play games with me as I use it for occupational therapy with them. Keeping records at bay is a since with the ease of app downloading on the android system. Fast, reliable. Love insignia products. Two thumbs up all the way around for this product. A++++

    I purchased this tablet as a Christmas present for my 5 year old. She loves it and it works great for her. However... The micro USB port doesn't hold the cord very well. Since this is the way to charge the tablet, it's a complete pain. We have to set the tablet on a smooth surface, carefully put the cord in place, and back away slowly. If the tablet or cord is touched at all, the cord will fall out. It often comes out just enough to disconnect, but still stays in place. We only find out when we try to use the tablet and there isn't a charge.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I haven't really put this tablet to the full test yet. I plan to use it to do some of my online reading for college courses. It works fine for general web-surfing and reading downloaded E-books. I only have two issues so far. One is that it constantly drops the wireless internet connection while I'm at home and two; the camera isn't the best. Other than that it is fine for the money I paid for it.

    I bought one of these for both of my parents after reading good reviews of it online. My dad had to take his back in exchange for a new one because the camera was blurry and wouldn't adjust. They had no problem exchanging and my parents both love this tablet.
