Nah Kindergarten cop lol
Since when did Australia Post start selling pre-owned iPhones?
Also had a heart attack at what a new 5S costs.
What's the resolution of this tablet? Was thinking of picking up one of these to play videos for kids on long trips. Interesting it's Windows. Don't know how well it would run Windows applications on those specs, although would only use for playing videos I guess.
I don't think you'd want any pedos around your kids, even for entertainment.
It doesn't seem people recommend this pad for ANY use:
productreview.com.au/p/pendopad-7.html
They come up fairly often, see the discussion here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/219203
I've checked the specs and as a result I'm no Pendo-phile.
JV suggested audio books for long journeys with kids in a thread ages ago and we've found they are by far the best way to entertain them. Also they are free with your library membership.
Is that to entertain the kids or the pendopad?
There is one negative comment about the Windows tablet but otherwise that deal refers to an Android tablet.
Good point, I missed the fact it's the windows version!
This is AusPost Windows Pendo specific, and he even talks about how to get Window 10 working on it in later posts:

He also mentions that a one year Office365 subscription may be included.
@OZB Al: No problem. Here is a review of it (I think) http://www.crn.com.au/Feature/399457,i-bought-an-89-windows-tablet-at-coles-here-are-my-impressions.aspx. I wonder if it is better/identical to the Unisurf 7" from the Target deal back in mid-2015 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/197447.
Edit: the review you linked to is newer, more thorough, thanks.
1024 x 600 according to their website:

and viewing angles of approximately 0 degrees. crap from any angle
I got one for free as part of a promo, these Pendo tablets make great Frisbees :) They are rubbish.
They are 32bit and video is fine loan something like vlc. They slow down if you multi task so just for movies a browser or you tube it's fine ….cost of charger alone is $10 and if the kids break it it's not a big deal. As a few of this category of devices from my son's journey to a handed down ipad
The Pendos and Unisurfs are the same just rebadged however I think the screen on the Unisurf maybe a bit better?
My Pendo had a faulty hdmi port so they replaced it with a Unisurf which I have been using for over a year.
I use it mainly to watch videos but do occasionally surf the net and play classic games on it.
It's also been upgraded to Win10 and runs a lot faster than Win8.1
If they're the same then it cannot have a better screen.
Yeah but it looks like the Unisurf has better viewing angles.
Anyway I said "I think" and they could be the same but it's also possible they could have upgraded the screen.
Dont be so sure. It is very possible for a rebadged product to have slightly better components than others.
I didn't know you could have a screen worse than the Unisurf.
Can you please tell me how you upgraded to Win10? Is it just straight forward automatically done via wondows update or do I have to do a workaround? Any way to do a clean Win10 install?
Also, how is it faster than win8.1? ie. programs load faster? Videos play more smoothly? etc.
Yeah that's why I asked if it's a walkaround. I got one from that deal but was wondering if you can upgrade directly through windows.
I let Windows automatically update to Win10. It was a smooth process and took probably 2+hrs to download and install.
It's a "clean" install as well as it removes 8.1 from your "hdd".
However make sure you have a spare USB Flash Drive with 5GB (I think) as it needs to transfer Win8.1 there as a backup recovery file in case the installation goes wrong as well as other installation files.
The default Win10 video player (can't remember the name) loads and runs videos a lot faster than Media Player and VLC on Win8.1
The only problem I have now is updating to the latest version of Win10 that came out the other week. I need a spare 1GB so I may have to delete Office and other crap that I can find.
If not, I may just turn off automatic updates as I'm happy with the current Win10 version.
Great, exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you.
I have the Unisurf 7" which looks to come from the same OEM. For these cheapies, just know exactly what you want out of it and don't expect to run the Witcher 3 on it.
I have mine permanently plugged into my tv as a media player/streamer and for most part it has been doing its job fine. The real qualm I have with it is that it would have been a better choice if I had spent the extra $20 and got the 8" one which comes with a dedicated power port which would allow me to use usb port. Right now I am restricted to BT only.
FYI, using a multi-port USB OTG charging cable you can use USB & charge simultaneously according to https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/197447?page=3#comment-2894029.
Not sure what to believe with this. There are people who claim it works, and others claim it doesn't and even some that said they thought it works but then it doesnt.
I have the Unisurf 7" and it's an avoid. Constantly freezes, no usable storage, screen isn't compatible with all features of Windows 8.1 as its 1024 x 600, and the screen itself is horrible too look at. Better off throwing $50 through the pokies to see if you spend a little more on something decent. At least even if you end up losing all your money you would still have more enjoyment than using this tablet.
@darmz:
Totally agree with the screen. Absolutely horrible colours and viewing angles and the physically incompatible native resolution of it squishes everything.
But as I only use it for the tv, it output to 1080p fairly comfortably. Under Win8.1 I think after updates you only get 1.4GB useable, but upgrading to Win10 freed mine up to 4GB.
Performance seem to have improved markedly after upgrade too.
There are however lockups for a few seconds when launching too many media heavy tabs in the browser, but otherwise quite stable.
Like I started earlier, don't expect getting a Surface Pro for $50 and know what youre getting.
For me I just want some thing like a Windows Stick and this is a cheaper alternative.
Brought the 7" for $59, as a kindle replacement, try some "Basic" apps seems not bad. As for other imaginable Windows's activities, forget it.
Constant showing low in memory, don't bother anti-virus as it will freeze it before you try to disable it.
packs are always sell about 50% discount at any post office.
is there anywhere else i can buy padded bags? Aus Post is ridiculously expensive for them
Officeworks but I think they are more expensive
