Is this a decent tablet?

[OneDay]

I'm looking for a 10 inch Android tablet. I can't afford a Galaxy or other high-end device. Do any of you tech-savvy peeps have any thoughts on this one please?

Mostly nice specs and free add ons..Not too keen on the 1024 x 600 screen resolution..Nice 12 month Uk warranty.

But it's from a nameless manufacturer so you may struggle to find accessories like screen protectors. Not a bad buy for the price but the screen won't be great..

More detailed spec here and a video.

I didnt like this bit though.

The Boxchip's maximum frequency is 1.5GHz, but actually clocks at 1.1GHz out of the box. Many advertisers are offering these tablets at the maximum frequency, but the actual end-user speed is 1.1GHz without some over-clocking, which is inexpensive to have done if your not able to do it yourself.

The specs do not look to bad, but as macca said not the best screen res.
I read somewhere about overclocking the Boxchip's to 1.5Ghz, and it seems fairly straight forward to do, not that I have tried it.

Thanks very much guys

In terms of the screen resolution, is it the wide-screen format you don't like or the pixel density?

[maccafan]

All tablets are usually widescreen when in landscape mode.. For a 10 inch screen 1024x600 res is medium resolution. The current standard is this but more usually the best screens are 1920 x 1080.

But for the price, it does not look like a bad buy and the warranty ain't half bad for a product from an unknown manufacturer.

Well I went to order only to find that, despite what it says on the listing, they are out of stock
So I got my money refunded and went for this instead. £15 more but an even better spec

Hi Oneday, was just wondering if you got this & what you think about it, any good or waste of money.
Only want a tablet as a backup .  . . .  this flippin forum . . never used the term backup till I came on here now I'm backing up everything

Can't really afford the brand names so would be really interested in your opinion of this.

My brother bought me a Joytab 9.7 tablet that came with a bluetooth keyboard and it seems ok, Not being tech minded on the specs I googled it and basically has a good write up for a low cost tab. runs 4.2 android version.
