I have purchased two of these tablets in the last 4 months, and they are very easy to use. Both were purchased for my 7 and 11 year old daughters, since they can use them for e-readers, cameras and video, playing music, writing diaries and stories (inspiring young authors), and of course, playing games. I purchased the Kensington KeyFolio bluetooth wireless keyboards to make text entry easier. Installed keyboard in less than 10 seconds. Here is what we like about them: -Very easy to download apps from the Google Marketplace. Makes shortcuts for them on the desktop -Battery life is between 4~8 hours, depending on the app running and the screen brightness -A bit thicker than other tablets, but more durable. Already dropped a few times from 3 feet onto carpet without any issue -Excellent forward and rear facing cameras - much higher resolution than an Ipad 2 -SD memory slot (not microSD, however), so adding memory is very easy (not possible with Ipad 2) Here is what we don't like about them: -Capacitive touch is great, but cannot draw as finely as you can on resistive -It is a bit thick, as compared to other tablets -Is harder to use as an e-reader, due to the weight of holding it in your hands.Read full review
A great transition for a longtime laptop user. While bulky for a pad, it is smaller than my ebook. As a trade off for a little more bulk, you get usb, sdcard and hdmi ports. It is great to not only stream a movie but to watch that movie on a presention projector or monitor. This device instantly recognized my usb keyboard and wireless presentation mouse. Great for viewing and sending pictures from my camera's sd card. I was concerned with the 8GB unit having less than 3GB user storage. It has not been a problem with available cloud storage or the ability to use data from SD cards and flash drives. With the ability to access my office pc, I have very little need for my laptop and use this daily.
I love it. It has a full size USB port so I can hook up my Passport external drive and have 250 GB extra storage space to go along with the 64GB full size SDHC card that I bought. I get about 5-6 hrs of battery life but no sweat, you can always buy another spare battery and keep that as a back-up. I found the cheapest price with shipping included was Amazon.com for the battery. The screen resolution is not as sharp as the iPad but heck you are spending half the price. You have trade-offs but for me this was the one.
This is a great product for the price. I was looking for a larger screen size (hate looking around for my reading glasses) and having the 10" is perfect. It extremely easy to use. It's also easier than carrying around a laptop. I mainly use it for my youngest child so she can do her homework anywhere we may be. As I'm sure most schools are this way, her homework is on the school website, and this makes it extremely convenient.
The Thrive has all the features I need to fill in between my Dell desktop, Toshiba Laptop and Iphone. Like new condition, quick delivery and good packing. MJC
