    Fantastic for everything I need it to do. Good battery life so far, easy to set up, the extra storage is useful. At this price point, I doubt I could have done better.

    Great Tablet for the price

    My wife had been using a Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet that was out of gas. We discussed options and realized that she basically used it for email, web ordering, and occasional videos/streaming. We decided that there was no need to pay the extra money for the "S" line of tablets, and decided to try this. So far, so good. She loves the Pink Gold color, which is more pink than gold. The speed is more than adequate for everything she does and the screen resolution looks sharp. I don't think we would have noticed the extra resolution of the "S" series. For the money, this is a great tablet. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but it seems very sturdy.
