It’s never going to beat fruit or some song’s options, let’s face it. But it’s not far off. I bought this for my girlfriend’s birthday as her TV had broke. Also because I work nights, so it’s handy for me to watch things on whilst she’s asleep without disturbing her.With the screen and volume fairly low, the battery will last at least 8 hours of watching YouTube videos and surfing amazon for the products I see in he videos. The battery seems to go on and on.The screen quality is really clear and responds well to touch. You don’t feel any lag with touch screen gestures. I have noticed that when watching YouTube videos, you do get ‘colour blocking’ - that effect you got on older TV’s with bad signal. This may not be the tablet itself, it could be the Wi-Fi signal. I have zero faith in her ISP, so I wouldn’t want to blame this on the tablet.The sound is good for a tablet, expandable memory is an option. I will eventually buy myself one of these, it does what I need well, so why pay the extra for the ‘big two’?
