I love this tablet! I purchased two right after the new year and they have been going strong since. Maybe that seems crazy, but I've heard some horror stories about off-brand tablets becoming crap within a few weeks. This tablet has a lot of internal memory and runs android. The battery keeps its charge well, and I haven't had any issues with playback of movies or music, and it plays apps perfectly. I have probably downloaded approximately 20 apps and the system hasn't slowed at all. The WiFi works well, when I take it away from home and come back, it is almost instantaneously picking up the signal. It almost never loses the connection, even when my ps3 or my laptop do.
If you are looking to buy a tablet and you aren't sure which one to buy; decide what you want it to do first. Are you working or playing? Are you familiar with android or mac? Android is super easy to use, and the app store is very extensive, with tons of free apps. You need to decide how much you want to spend, long term. Apple products may be top-of-the-line, but they are priced accordingly, and so are their warranties, if you want one. Even after your initial purchase, you will still have to buy a case, possibly you might need a memory card, or a replacement power cord, and you might not want to pay $50-100. If you decide you want to go with android, now you have a variety of choices. Your first consideration should be WHICH version of android you want. This Samsung runs 4.1.1, but I've seen lots of off-brand that only have 2.1, and that OS came out a few years ago. The higher the number, the newer the OS and the better your tablet will work, and run apps especially. I don't recommend the 2.1, I used to have it on my phone and you can't save apps to external storage. At the very least, look for 2.3. There's also the kindle to consider, they run a certain android OS that has been modified for Amazon, and has exclusive rights on new adobe flash software. This is a definite perk for the kindle, but it was still out of my price range. Plus, while it can be so upsetting to miss out on the random flash ads (haha), the Samsung still plays videos from the internet just fine, as well as several different kinds of video files downloaded from a computer to the external card.
In my opinion, this tablet is the best bang for the buck without sacrificing quality, reliability and sturdiness. If you are looking for a high quality and relatively affordable, Non-Apple tablet, look no further.
