Hopefully nobody is purchasing this tablet in hopes of it being as efficient and fast as say an iPad or Samsung tablet. And with that being said, in my opinion this is a great basic starter tablet for kids, or the older person who doesn't know much about computers/tablets. It is also efficient enough for those of us who just need it for basic everyday things such as surfing the web, checking email, Facebook, etc.
It's capable of opening/closing/loading apps just fine, not slow or sluggish, I've not had any issue with lag. I haven't tested the camera because I don't really ever plan on using it since the one on my phone is far superior anyway, just going off of the specs. I have no issues with it holding a charge, nor do I have issues with the charging cable staying connected. The wifi also works fine, I've not been disconnected once.
The only "con" I'd say about this tablet is the amount of time it takes to turn on. You have to hold the button for about twenty seconds before it actually powers up, but after that it loads up pretty quickly and you're on your way. Sound is average, nothing special, but would probably sound a lot better when using earbuds or headphones. The whole tablet is pretty sturdy feeling and I don't worry much about dropping it because it's plastic and not glass.
I myself wanted this tablet mainly for reading, and it works out just fine. The screen is clear and words are crisp, although not technically HD, it works just fine for watching Netflix and YouTube. I haven't run into any buffering or lagging issues with either of those apps. I've also not had any issues with any of the games I use, though sometimes I feel the tablet get warm (but only when I run some of the more demanding games).
So the bottom line is, for $70 (it's what I paid, it was on sale) and 16GB, which can be expanded up to 32 GB with a Micro SD, I'd say this is a steal. It's nice to look at, not too heavy or bulky, and would be fine for most people who don't have to have the most high end stuff based off a brand name.

My son loved this until, after only a couple months, the charger port broke. The chord won't stay in. The screen shattered as he held it to try to put the chord back in.
Thankfully we puchased the warranty. We got a replacement. (A different model. Since this one is no longer available)
