Bought this in Pink for my 5 year old little girl. She loves it but it seems like the battery only lasts a couple of hours when she is hard-core playing it. Heats up a little bit, too, on some graphic games.(not hot) Otherwise, a nice little machine for her playtime.

The first one lasted but 2 hours after being charged overnight. I love Best Buy customer service. They immediately issued a replacement tablet which arrived within 5 days. This second one worked well. Unfortunately 40 days since receipt, it too is defective, exhibiting the same failure conditions as the first one. I use the device only as a message center in our house-- we update the calendar so everybody's on track. We also use it to do quick email/internet searches. Just the basic stuff for a basic tablet. Unfortunately, this tablet's inner-workings don't work. Visual Land should really invest into running Environmental Stress Screening on their product prior to shipment. BTW - the pictures are a little bit false. The blue is a plastic royal blue. The advertisement picture shows it as a metallic blue.

The complete package for this included a nice cover and small keyboard. The 16g of storage is good and can add additional memory with SD card. Loads fast and has a nice, bright display. Really mostly used for playing games and e-books.

I purchased two of these, one in blue and one in pink and the pink one died after about a month. It wouldn't factory reset or anything. Visual Land did FINALLY respond to my web page inquiry after a week or so and I eventually got an RMA# to return the defective one for replacement. Still waiting for replacement to show up. Not feeling very confident. Their service was VERY slow to respond to my inquiry. I doubt I'll buy Visual Land again. Unsure at this point, however.

I bought this tablet for my husband first and he was very happy, so I bought one for me. It's an awesome tablet for what I need and you can't go wrong with the price.

I notice a glare so it is hard to see things at times. I tried adjusting the brightness level but still does not help. For the $$ definitely a good product.

Broke after first use

I got this and the first time I used it, it froze up and needed to be reset. The second time I tried it would not stay powered on and I contacted Best Buy and they are sending me out a new charger in hopes that will fix the problem. Not a quality item if the charger breaks after one use, would not recommend purchasing.

Terrible Tablet

This tablet is very poor performing. I find it to be very slow and glitchy. The browser freezes, more often than not it does not log onto the web/router not more than 6ft way, and I find myself rebooting often.
I do not recommend.

I am not sure why this has low reviews. I bought it anyways and have had it for over a month. I loaded all my favorite apps and have had not one issue. Charges quickly and loads quickly. Love my new tablet and money well spent.

you want a tablet with at least 1.6ghz,
less than that and processes slow,
this tablet is 1.6ghz and works well.
