Perfect budget friendly tablet, don't have your expectations set too high and you will like it!
Bought this for my mother who is in her mid 50's, average technology user, not unfamiliar with tablets. This tablet is perfect for her, she wanted a bigger tablet something well over 7" and under $100 with the ability to mainly browse online, stream movies and music efficiently. This tablet genuinely surprised me with how good it is for only $65. While she was at work I charged it up, loaded it with the typical apps (Netflix, pandora, YouTube, chrome, angry birds, etc.) and used it exclusively all day to see how it would perform. As a family of four, and with a computer engineer husband, we have a lot of tablets and devices around our house...desktops, laptops, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, 2nd gen iPad, iPod touch, iPhones 4, 5s, 6plus, dell tablet, and a Microsoft surface. So, that's why I was genuinely surprised with how well this tablet performed. It is definitely not as "sexy" or fast as any of the devices we own but I didn't expect it to be, it's a tablet and gets the job. I had no problems streaming Netflix, pandora, or YouTube. The apps take a little bit of time to load up but it was nothing dramatic, just not instant and once loaded ran smoothly. I love the multiple password type options you have on this tablet which include, slide lock, regular password, PIN number & swipe a pattern. The ease of functionality is great, it is simple and efficient unlike the 3,000 steps it takes on an iPad to find something in the settings or to delete something. I barely used half of the space with the 25 apps I put on it and I don't see her needing to buy extra anytime soon. I like that it came without any apps on it, didn't like that it came totally dead, not even a slight charge; The screen protector already on it is definitely a plus. The tablet size felt good and thickness of it was not too bad. The Google play store had tons of free apps which was pretty comparable to the Apple App Store. I will definitely consider buying one of these as a tablet for my kitchen to use for looking at recipes or just to play CNN or music while cooking. Other than that no problems with this tablet, took 2 hours to fully charge from dead and then it was super easy and quick to set up. This review is based off having it for 1 day, I will update if my mom runs into any problems with it within the next month.

So far, so Good! :)
This Tablet is pretty neat, especially for a low maintenance lazy bum like myself.What I mean is that I don't play games, try to use it for typing up important docs, or try to take videos with it.I'm sure you one could do the things mentioned above, but it would probably leave you frustrated and resentful.What I intended to use my $55 tablet for is as follows:PinterestNetflixPulling up online recipesJotting down notes/ideasChecking e-mailFacebookReading the newsTaking goofy pics of myselfAnd possibly uploading pics from my camera when on the go/traveling, to Facebook.Pros:I like this tablet because I can do all the things listed above fairly easily.(Yes, the tablet lags when it's first starting up or when I open the Internet tab, but it seems to run rather smoothly after it "warms up").The charge seems to last a while, so far.The layout is very intuitive for those who already own/ use android interface or even Microsoft.Streams netflix well.Pinterest doesn't crash or slow the tablet down. at all.Cons:The viewing of the screen almost seems 3D-ish, but it might just be my contacts causing that.So far I think it's perfect for basic Internet browsing purposes.Grab your coffee, slippers and blanket and start your weekend morning with this great - priced Tablet.

See: "DragonTouch" Tablets
This included paperwork for "DragonTouch" tablets, so presumably this is just a repackaging of the same hardware.I was debating whether to give this two stars or three, simply because of the low price. Then, the tablet started randomly shutting down while still over 60% battery (two days before my return window would have expired, fortunately). I'd been very careful about charging it, since I'd had battery issues with my Nook HD. I usually used it plugged in, and anytime I did unplug it, allowed the battery to fully deplete before charging again.In general, the tablet was slow and unresponsive. It often took several tries to actually turn on. Apps could take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes to launch. Anything running in the background, like updates and installs (by the way, thanks Google Play, for automatically trying to install every single app I had on my phone), rendered it basically useless.Things I (wanted to) use this tablet for:-Netflix: This is one of the primary things I bought the tablet for. More or less functional; occasionally laggy (like every other app), but could stream well enough that I wasn't going to bother returning it, originally. Would occasionally freeze the video feed when starting a new episode, and I had to back out to the menu to continue playing. Did crash to the home screen, but rarely.-Hearthstone (game): Could not run at all. Gave an error message that the device did not have enough RAM. Only basic, 2D games were playable.-YouTube: Pretty much the same as Netflix, with more crashes.-Internet browsing (Firefox): Functional.-Kindle app: Functional.-Feedly (RSS reader): Very slow, could not view websites in-app. Froze up while loading one of the articles and I had to hold the power button down to restart it (waited 20 minutes before doing so, with no change, and it didn't go into sleep mode).-Facebook: Had to wait 5+ minutes for initial loading/setup. Always slow to launch, but otherwise okay.Cameras are no better or worse than you'd expect. Speaker quality is acceptable, I never had a reason to test the microphone. Screen resolution is a little low, but not distractingly so. Screen viewing angles were kind of wonky--most angles gave a contrast distortion that made it very hard to focus on the screen. $60 would have been perfectly reasonable, even if I could only use it for Netflix and internet browsing, but the random shutdowns made for an instant return.Not much else to say. If you don't want to use this for anything other than web browsing and occasional video streaming, it might be worth the gamble, anything more than that and you may as well keep shopping.
