Its just right for me.
01/09/2013
Strength
quad core processor; latest Android release; easy eet-up;
Weakness
No memory card slot; no rear camera.
Jan. 9, 2013: This is my first tablet. I researched a long time before deciding on this model. --------I decided on a 7 over 10.1 for portability and comfort. The main features I wanted were: wifi, long battery life, bluetooth, gps. This model is wifi only: they also have models with a sim slot available for people who want that feature. ------------My only criticism is the lack of a rear camera and removable memory slot, but I knew that before making the purchase. I bought it because of the other features relative to the price. The 32GB ram seems sufficient even after adding the apps I wanted. I can transfer files by usb and bluetooth, so I can make do without the memory slot. ------------I chose this over the FireHD because the operating system is more flexible and customizable and Kindle is available as an app. I chose this over the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 because of the higher screen resolution and ram. --------------Ill update this review at some point in the future.
