  played with one instore seemed laggy when swipping to different screens.
  and a dissapointing screen.
  for some less picky people this might e good but certainly not my cup of tea.

    Is the Atom Z2560 not that great a chip? I've been after a cheap tablet and seems like from Futuremark benchmarks that they are on par with the MT6592 8-cores. And I've used a fair few older gadgets with Mediatek chips (MT6577, MT6589) and they seem to run pretty smoothly.

    Is it that the benchmark simply does not translate to real world performance.

      laggyness is most likely due to whatever extra software UI acer puts on android.
      or it may soley caused by the cheap screen.

  Yeah wouldn't the 8" aldi tab be a lot better than this? Of coarse its $30 more, but it has 4.4.2 and better hardware.

  Edit: this seems to be a different model to those acer tabs that were selling for around $100, it uses an intel cpu instead of a mtk. So this is probably better choice than the aldi tab?

    the only thing you are buying with this is the brand name, i bought the aldi tab on the day it came out, since then its been everything i ever wanted, no too big not too small. 9.5/10 the lost of .5 is because i'm finding it hard to find a suitable case for it :(

    -responsive 10/10
    -touch screen excellent
    -android kitkat awesome!

    :)

  Check the screen display in store before you buy. The IPS display just doesn't look right (in a bad way).

  I wont post this as a deal as I'm not sure of its usual price,

  but a nexus 7 gen 1 for $149 compares favourably
