Needed a little work to reset the password and install Andoid Kit-Kat. After that, worked as a charm.

Because I bought this product used and refurbished, I can't give a good review of the product. We experienced several unexpected shut downs which prompted us to return to sender. Plus it is bulky and slow. The weight alone is an issue. The screen resolution was also poor. Ended up buying an 8" insignia flex HD from best buy. Better for my son and weighed less.

For starters, no this is not an iPad. I am so over Apple products so it does not matter to me. This is a good reliable tablet PC for the money. With QuickOffice, I can create and edit Word documents and take notes at school, surf the web over Wi-Fi, set up reminders on the handy factory-installed calendar, and read my books with the Kindle App. These things are the reason I bought the Touchpad and it has served me well thus far. The battery life beats the hell out of a laptop. I get 9-10 hrs. per charge, and that is with average wi-fi and document creation use. Overall, it is a good product for the money, and I wish HP would take WebOS back to the drawing board and bring us more quality gadgets such as the Touchpad.
Hp is no longer selling these tablets. However they do still support the unit. They work fairly well for the most part. With the latest update installed you get camera software. The wireless works flawlessly. Browser could use some work(it seems to have a problem with Hotmail). Not nearly as many apps for WebOs as there is for Android. But WebOs does have nice features. No way to expand the onboard Memory above 16gigs as there's no SD or micro sd slot. Does have mini usb for charging/docking. The onboard camera does take fairly clear pics, but don't mistake it for a good digital camera. All in all it's a good unit. Easy to take along. Surfing the net reading a book, or just showing off the latest pictures of your kids. It's a capable unit.
I've had the iPad and still own a Galaxy Tablet, but for the price I figured I couldn't lose with the Touchpad. Of course there's nowhere near the apps available for Web Os as there are for the iPad and Droid devices, but this thing is great. I use it more for email, social networking and reading books. So this is a steal of a deal. I've increased the speed and responsiveness and am finding that there are a lot of benefits to owning this device and many other things you can do with it. Also the HP folks are working on creating more apps because they still have Web Os cell phones being produced. I have a cell phone with hotspot capabilities, so I can use my Touchpad anywhere I can get WiFi or get a signal with my phone. My only complaints are, its a bit heavy, and they're not many accessories available, and some of the accessories that are available ie., Bluetooth keyboard, are too expensive for a device that's not made anymore, ($129.00 for the keyboard docking package), the Touchpads were selling for $99 bucks! If you can find one, get one, Touchpad that is. Great deal for the money.Read full review
