Can you still get those 4 packs of tablets for cheap?

I bought the Tangerine one.

Those were the $50 ones that were pretty slow. Might want to wait until near Christmas to see another multipack sale.

still proprietary amazon skinned android?

Yeah, but that's good for those that have Amazon Prime subs and you can sideload the Google Play store like always.

>full specs

Going to get this microsd to go with it. All I need now is a small bluetooth keyboard.

You can get a chink full x86 tablet for that

Not at 720p.

the only thing I hate about the Amazon skin is the fact that the amazon app store is fucking garbage

I can't do shit on my KF2 w/o google apps

I just loaded Cyanogenmod 11 on it and it works better than it ever has.

At 1920x1200

Not for $90.

>1920x1200

Yes, you dumbass

jesus christ stop you shill/purchase rationalizer

>enjoy your light bleed
>enjoy your slow cpu
>intel into mobile devices, like ever

>3hrs battery life

The fire has 12!

>189 PPI

Enjoy your garbage display I guess.

Nobody with half a brain would buy that garbage.

enjoy your 2.5 hours screen on time
hot Intel CPU
no support
no warranty
no customer support
terrible build quality
exploding battery
supporting a chinese company instead of an American one
Spyware preinstalled


Sounds like a bad deal

Is this your first amazon ""tablet"" purchase I take it?

Protip- they get about 1/3 of that when actually watching content.

The 3 hours the chinkshit has is terrible too, but it is running windows as well.

>enjoy your light bleed
Display looks great though
>enjoy your slow cpu
It's a fucking tablet. Besides, I bet my Atom's better than your ARM processor
>intel into mobile devices, like ever
I fail to see the issue.

>Buying anything with primary A53 cores

You gonna have a bad time.

Daily reminder buying this shit is retarded when googles new (pixel) line is coming soon.

Too much for a tablet with a shit screen and Amazon's version of Android.

great, more overpriced google shit that tries to emulate Apple

Why not just get an Ipad Air 2? The single core IPC from the Ipad Air will probably still shit on the SD830's when it's eventually released

>enjoy your 2.5 hours screen on time
Notable issue, booting into android might be better
>hot Intel CPU
Streaming will hardly do anything, dipshit
>no support
Why do you need hand holding from pajeet to use a fucking tablet running android?
>no warranty
But there is one you fucking idiot
>no customer support
See above
>terrible build quality
Better then the entire fire line and nexus
>exploding battery
They use the same batteries that anyone else does, they all come from china anyway
>supporting a chinese company instead of an American one
Oh yes, because these wonderful US companies pay all these taxes, and not hide everything in offshore accounts
>Spyware preinstalled
As if amazon doesn't know everything about you as well

heres your reply

way to go out of your way to rationalize your terrible purchase


hope the glass cracks and cuts your hands from your huawaei teclast chinktab h202 chairman mao edition

Nice, saw it this morning and had been holding out to buy a tablet.

Though I think it still might be more than I need to try out my apps.

Don't know if it's worth it yet. Maybe if Fire 7" is $35 again I can go for that.

>Why not just get an Ipad Air 2?

It's Apple.

I'm referring to the 7" one that huawei will make, not the C, which should be considerably less than an air price wise

>tries to emulate apple
all they need now is to remove the 3.5mm.

>responding to bait is somehow out of my way
>implying i care what you buy
>implying I bought a teclast

All I did was link a tablet thats better resolution at the price stated, then you went all

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CHINIEE BAAAD

top kek fuckboi.

>Maybe if Fire 7" is $35 again I can go for that.
I have a feeling they are going to drop the $50 tablet.

all they need to do is

make their app stoer the premier mobile app store
make their hardware synonymous with top of the line quality
make their brand a respectable brand for someone to own
not be riddled with problems, like light bleed, terrible battery life, terrible CPU's, over specced pieces of shit that are still outperformed by dual core iPad/Iphones

>tablet
who fucking cares?

Watching Netflix in bed.

You do watch Stranger Things, right user-kun?

>no Google Play Store

Nah. I think I'll look at a Nexus.

>premier app store
>top of the line quality
see bendgate, YOU ARE HOLDING IT WRONG, and pcmag.com/news/347308/iphone-6-owners-complain-of-gray-bar-touch-screen-issues
>respectable brand to own
>>buying products based on the general publics opinion
>huee benchmarrs
yes, all that makes a huge difference while shitposting and streaming on a sub

Honestly, it seems really simple to sideload the Play Store. Just watched a video this morning, it's four apks to download, install in a certain order, then restart. Looks like less than 5 minutes.

Though all the other Amazon stuff makes it seem clunky.

You don't need to root?

No

Nope.

>720p

Nook HD still seems good today and it's $10 less

>7"
>1440×900 @ 243 PPI
>dual-core 4470 @ 1.3 GHz
>1GB RAM

Looks like they're charging you 90 dollars to take their rubbish away from them. I guess as you said, streaming in bed is about the only use for something with no memory like this if you don't have a TV. i'd ztill look for something cheap and 1080p but I stream locally and throw hissy fits when i see someone referring to yify torrents as HD

Most Netflix and Prime shows only do 720p, like Doll House, Sopranos, Star Trek, etc.

See the full specs here to compare:
Fire has 1.5GB of RAM. I assume the 0.5 is allocated to GPU.

>They use the same batteries that anyone else does, they all come from china anyway
KEK. Really? Just admit you bought something stupid

Here is the keyboard and the microsd order.
I wanted the keyboard mainly for windows, but it will be nice to have for the Fire and my iPhone. Works with all three.

Nook HD did come out in 2012.

Lack of RAM in tablets in general is unsettling.

>mfw got a nexus 7 1st AND 2nd gen bundled together for 105 bucks US

Just get a nexus 7 (2013)

1080p screen
2 GB ram
1.50 GHz
8-10 hour battery life
Clear speakers

Only issue is light bleeding after a while but it's not noticeable while in use

I hate buying used stuff like that. I treat my stuff good and other people don't and make it look like crap..

Fire 7" is shit.

Both came with cases and one came with original box. They were flawless (except the nexus 2013 had suffered some light bleeding but like I said, hardly noticeable)

I now use the nexus 1st gen when I'm outside and keep the 2nd gen at home for Netflix and chill.

So buy from someone who treats their stuff like you do. Don't even fucking pretend you're the only one who doesn't handle their shit like an ape

>is
a

That is hard to tell from eBay pics.

Also had to order an sdxc card reader. The one I have couldn't do the bigger cards. This tablet is getting pricy!
