Nextway F7 Dual Core Tablet PC, 7 Inch IPS Screen 1G/16G Bluetooth HDMI $99 Free Shipping

Quote from warmwxrules : Why can't you just put Window 7 on it? I don't get why these things that have so much power (chip/ram) can't run a full version of windows? I've never owned a tablet, have never used a tablet, and know nothing about them, so maybe i'm missing something (drivers?)...

Windows 7 only works on x86 processors well, plus touch interface of windows 7 would not be usable on this small a screen. Android is great for touch, windows is NOT great for touch.

I've had a touch capable laptop since windows XP, and typing on win 7 touch tablet and have Win 8 too. Works for my strange needs, but for couch surfing/news reading I use android 7 and 10inch tablets.

Nook tablet HD is nice if you can grab a refurb to modify. The sell out faster than google IO tix

I want a Kindle Fire HD //although it sucks that it doesn't have an SD slot on it...although it does have usb (only 2.0 though)...the kindle is 1080p

flying-

Yeah...i just remembered reading an article about x86 and tablets... now i understand... its not supported by windows... good stuff.

I'll look into that Nook.. I lug around a 14inch dell e6410..my kids drop it, its missing keys...so i think a tablet is in my future...

Theoretically, you could probably get W8 installed on it if you can find the ARM version. I don't know if anyone has actually succeeded in doing anything like that though.

No go for me, not without some reviews. I got the Mach Trio last week. It's OK in speed and battery life, and only costs only $25 IF the MIR come through. My biggest complaint about that tablet is the glass. It is so soft and scratches so easily. I have only used it lightly for a few days. No way to tell if this has tablet Gorilla Glass or at least some type of tempered glass.

NO GPS no thanks

!@#$%^& Crap. I hate this site. I bought this 2 days ago from focal price for 18 bucks more. Well...that's alright...Its for my kid anyway.

Just saying that Rockchip CPUs are terrible in comparison to other ARM chips. Usually those are used in cheap Chinese tablets and give you an idea of the quality of the device you're purchasing. You're much better off paying $60 more for the refurb 16 GB Nexus 7. Please, just trust me on this.

You're missing a lot more than just drivers if you think you can just easily load Win7 on this thing and the usability will be fine and dandy...

Thanks for the useful links! You bought this for your kids, how is it working out? I bought this for my almost 3 year old so he can stop playing on my wifes S3.

The Rockchip: It can be solid as a rock or just...a rock.

There are so many better choices at the low end these days.

A Nook Tablet / Nook Color in the sub-$100 range if you can follow instructions well and put real CM7/CM10 on it.

$150-$180 or so - A Nexus 7 or a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0".

Go with one or the other instead of these no-name brand tablets. ROM development, fixes, cases, etc - makes them all much better.

That's bullshit. Other than s4, rk3066 beats all bother arm a9 dual core in term of benchmarks n real use. Do some research before posting.

For the most part, I agree with you.

Except that there is one area in which I actually prefer the no-name tablets from China, weight.

Most of the generic low quality tablets are in the 290-320 gram weight range, and after long enough holding them my hand gets fairly tired.

The Nook Color is 448g. The Nook Tablet is a little better at 400g.

The Google Nexus 7 is _much_ nicer at 340g.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is 345g.

So the question is, are you happy with another 40g in weight? My next tablet will probably be the Nexus 7 or something close to it, or another cheap tablet from china once you can get 1280x800 in the $80 range instead of the $120 range.

But then again, I use mine for reading books, and I need the backlight, so, your mileage will probably vary.
