Gday Guys,

Just purchased some of these bulk and thought i would share. The freight charge is flat rate so on multiple QTY this deal really comes into it's own. Purchasing large QTY the freight cost is easily diluted however it is only $4.95 flat rate anyway. Has to be done through ebay listing to get discount.

There is no details on tablet on ebay listing however link on dick smith website has below:

      No i dont think so.. your link has a link to the manual http://www.dgtec.com.au/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=4481 which has a different spec CPU just to begin with..

      • smartazz104 on 20/08/2014 - 15:52

        You're right, my bad. Does this thing really have 16GB memory built it? I find that hard to believe though.

        • hollykryten on 20/08/2014 - 16:19

          That's like saying a computer with a 4TB hard drive has 4TB of inbuilt memory. No it's 512mb ram and 16gb of flash storage data space.

        • smartazz104 on 20/08/2014 - 16:30

          @hollykryten:

          Sorry, I meant storage when I said memory :)

    • elusive on 20/08/2014 - 18:05

      It's supposedly got a model number of TB512-16G. That only comes up under the Onix brand, apparently sold by Aldi:

      Most of the specs match up. Seems like this one has a slightly better front camera, and a newer Android version.

      I have the TB07 from a previous deal, for $40. As you can see in the images, it's different - the front camera is on the top right corner, while this one has it in the middle.

      Lemme tell you, it's a piece of shit.

      Can't really complain for the price, though. I guess it works.

      Just as a warning, my biggest gripe would be the screen. Text on the screen is quite blurry. I don't know if the model in this deal is better, but I wouldn't bet on it. Those people saying you can use it as an eBook reader? You're better off using your phone, if you have a decently modern one. My Galaxy S2 was easier to read on, by far. (Edit: it's much better if you turn up the font size. So that's an option.)

      Also not much good with multiple apps at once (single-core, remember?).

      That said, if you only use it for a single task (forget web browsing), it could serve decently well as a music player. You can hook it up to a set of speakers and use it with Spotify Connect, for example. Don't expect miracles with the sound quality, but it's not noticeably worse than most phones.

      The one I have (TB07) is an RK2926. This one apparently comes with an RK2906. See Wikipedia for details, but to summarise:

      The RK2906 is basically a cost-reduced version of the RK2918

      The Rockchip RK2926 and RK2928 feature a single core ARM Cortex A9 running at a speed up to 1.0 GHz. It replaces the Vivante GC800 GPU of the older RK291x series with an ARM Mali-400 GPU.

      Basically, this deal has an older CPU. It does have four times the L2 cache, though, which is weird.

      Other differences would be the greater storage size (16 GB > 4 GB) and the additional rear camera (but that's 2 MP anyway, so… might as well grab that Telstra Pulse phone from HN for $18).

      • elusive on 20/08/2014 - 22:34

        We've mentioned above that the TB-07 is a different model. This deal is the TB512-16G. The camera is in a different place, the CPU is different, the storage is different…

    Bought one of these tablets a while back. You pay for what you get. It's battery isn't all too good and seems to take a fair while to charge than it should. Otherwise it's fine for some email and casual internet browsing, maybe an odd game here and there.

      I was thinking of it as a glorified desk clock with weather info as well.

      • SickDmith on 21/08/2014 - 00:29

        Does it come with AC power supply and dock?
        (probably I wanted too much for the price). :)

        • murkywater on 21/08/2014 - 02:25

          A charger probably, dock is unlikely.

        • Rex87 on 21/08/2014 - 09:24

          The other model (TB07)came with a charger, so I imagine this one does also.

        • eug on 21/08/2014 - 10:48

        what's a torrent box?

        • timmypete on 21/08/2014 - 09:31

          My sharehouse has a tiny little computer without a screen plugged into our network. It runs a VPN and a torrent client that you can access over a web interface.

          Because it only draws ~5-10 watts from a USB power supply, we can leave it on overnight and use significantly less power than a desktop or laptop, and it dumps content in a central location for all of us.

        • timmypete on 20/08/2014 - 17:24

          I've got that at other times. Despite what they say, I've found it usually takes about a week for eBay message responses. Their Facebook staff is much more helpful.

    Hey, it's a good price IF you need something like this. E.g. something for a young kid that might break it or something for the morning train or bus commute or travel where it won't matter if it gets damaged or stolen.

    Hmmm, come to think of it, $30 even if it's just for use as an alarm clock is an ok price…

    Can't resist…. no I don't really need it… but it's hard to resist.

    I'm a bloody Ozbargainer! :-o
