    Bought this tablet for a family member that doesn't like to use her computer. She really likes it for checking her emails and simply surfing the web. The WiFi makes it easy for her to use anywhere she goes. It was simple to setup and the apps she needs are right there with a simple tap of the screen. Can't beat the price and it's well made. Should last for a few years.

    This tablet was on sale, marked down 50% from its original price tag. My boys decided to spend their holiday money on a tablet. We have been talking up the Kindle Fire, but when we arrived at Best Buy, this table was originally a more expensive one, but because of the sale, was cheaper than the Kindle Fire. The boys picked it because they would have more money left to purchase apps. They love the tablets and use them every day. They are 6 and 7 so resolution and sound mean nothing to them, but it bothered me. Also, they don't really make a kid friendly case for this tablet (or really any case). The so-called "universal" cases cover many of the buttons and plug-ins with the volume and power buttons being located on the back side of the tablet...

    I bought this tablet for some people at the office and it has become an incredible tool. The tablet is easy to use and set up and has the same operating software as our phones so it makes things really easy. The speed is good and has sufficient memory as well.

    Bought the tablet for my wife for Christmas. Was mainly looking for a low cost deal on a 7" or 8" tablet. Knew it was mainly going to be used to surf the web, check email and play app games. Was an excellent choice at the sale price of $80.

    Looked at a lot of tablets for both my college aged son and granddaughter and this fit the bill for both. It uses the current droid operating system and with its long battery life, it works for both movie viewing and game playing.

    For $79, this is worth the price. It's just that I cannot install trillion things in it. Oh well, I am using it casually anyway for web browsing, emails, and sometimes reading pdfs. The price is low, so it is good enough for me.

    Bought these for two of my boys to watch videos and play games online. Other that having issues learning how to turn it on for the first time, it is easy to use and comes loaded with a lot of great apps. Great for a beginner.

    I bought 2 of these for my grandchildren to use when they are at my house. They were definitely a hit. They are the first thing to be asked for the minute my grandchildren walk in the door. Easy to use Android system.

    My young kids are thrilled to have their own tablets. We bought two Insignia Flex 8" tablets for the price of what one kid's tablet would have cost. Very easy to use. Quick response. Android operating system. We love these. We love the Insignia Flex 8". The one thing we struggled with is the unusual size. I searched and found a case that is made for the Vizio 8" tablet with the same dimensions.

    I purchased for our Daughter who loves to read. This tablet is easy on the eyes with the larger screen. It also has good battery life which allows her to complete several chapters in her novels between charges.

    It has froze on one game, but I'm sure it was the game. The tablet is a little heavy. Overall this tablet is very good so far. The internet is smooth and gaming looks great. Just needs a rear facing camera.

    I bought this tablet on black friday for $80. For that price... its a STEAL. It runs on android, has a micro sd slot, I put in a 32gb card with movies and videos and the look great. The sound is a little too low for me but since I usually use headphones its a non-issue. Has Wi-Fi, micro usb for charging, etc. My 5yr old son uses the tablet more often than I do and he LOVES it. IT is PERFECT for kids - not expensive and it works great. Just as good as any high end tablet.

    Good starter tablet for a child

    Good tablet for starter. Bought it for a younger child for gift. Processing power is noticeably slowing then my other Android tablets. However, this was nearly $200 less, so it was expected. He can browse, Skype, use Kindle and play most of the market place games. Overall, I gave it four out of 5. The reason I gave it a 4 was it feels like it could break easy. Maybe my opinion will change in 6 months if it's still working. 2yr extended warranty is almost the price of a new one. Didn't make sense to buy it. Paid $99 for tablet, and they wanted $79 for warranty. Also, BestBuy does not carry screen protectors or fitted case. I had to find screen protectors from China on Ebay and used a generic fit case.

    I was kind of surprised when I saw this for 99 dollars. I really didn't want to spend 3 or 400 dollars on a tablet. So I think this is a pretty good buy! It was simple to setup and easy to use. Love the Android OS pretty much the same thing as my cell phone. There a few apps that do not work on tablets however. The WiFi works really good and I like the extra storage with the micro SD card. The only thing I thought was lacking is the actual display. The colors are not very crisp and bright and there is really no way to adjust anything but brightness. I would say its about DVD quality. Nonetheless I'm very happy with this product. Like I said 99 dollars is a pretty good deal for a tablet like this.

    Got this on Black Friday for $79, probably the best $79 I have spent. Out of the box there was an issue with the internal memory being split up part for video and part for storage, this made adding a micro sd card to the tablet kind of useless. there was a system update which corrected that issue and now the micro sd card is useful again. I have enjoyed this tablet and the ease of use and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet.
