I have been interwebbing all day today to find a decent (read: cheap) Tablet for me folks. Was gonna grab the Nexus 7 but damn, mum is half blind and so is dad with their telescope thick glasses they wear. I see that people are going goo goo gaga over the Nexus 7 32GB tablet for $250, what about this 10.1inch model with Full HD 1900 x 1200 screen for $15 extra? Seems beefy with 2GB Ram as well and Samsung quad core CPU. Seems much better than the Nexus? Tablet guru's microscope the specs as I am no tech head but the cheapest on eBay I can find is $329. Delivery time is about 12 days. (Bought a few things from them for the iphone 4 previously)

Tip : Change the currency to AU on the top left.

Specs from Ramos website as some specs were listed incorrectly on the BG website:

WIFI 802.11 b/g /n

Battery Life: 6 - 8hrs
Review Video (Thx to user Elysiar): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZaZtniMxo4

Seems like a good price / performance compromise so put it up here. What ye' all think? $15 extra than the Nexus 7 and errr better? Don't want me folks to squint when using it to read the news / youtube etc thus the 10.1 FULL HD argument.

Edit: Oh crap, the deal landed on the front page!! Just a few things I would like to add from the comments below from users who have more know how than me regarding the specs, reason being so buyers can make a more informed choice. The cameras are average at best especially the front facing camera. Also as this model is a fairly new release, the initial software release had issues with full HD 1080P video playback, it has been fixed with a new software update that can be downloaded from Ramos so all is good. What else….someone mentioned battery life is about 6 hours which is below that of iPad. That's about it me thinks, will update as I go through the new comments. Thanks guys.

        its a nice unit - fast, VERY fast, gorgeous screen. only problem we have had is the buttons on the side can stick out occasionally, but a lil wiggle fixes it. is the same chipset as the new samsung 10" - really amazingly responsive
        we got ours from merimobile - reliable seller - the code welcome will get their price within a few $ of this

      For me, the main point was the Full HD screen and 10.1 size. Interwebbing a bit more and there is also a new software released that fixes a few teething issues like FULL HD 1080P video playback which had issues in the first release. Thought I might add that.

      +1 for the review as it has PSY.

    • lead_org on 27/03/2013 - 19:32

      The video review showed that the tablet has a very impressive screen, but the overall build quality of this tablet doesn't seem to be quite there. It uses lot of hard plastic for the construction of the tablet, and the silver colour on the back is sprayed on.

      Obviously at this price, you would not be expecting iPad quality. But with these hard plastic backing and the 10 inch sizes, there is a longevity factor at play.

      • CarbonTwelve on 27/03/2013 - 20:14

        The 'hard plastic' isn't going to make a difference to 'longevity'.

        • dreamscene on 27/03/2013 - 21:23

          It is Aluminum alloy

          I'd be happy with Joseph Smith's golden plates even at a lower res. You can keep his fan club though.

        • lead_org on 27/03/2013 - 21:12

          Rosetta Stone would do it for me. The type of plastics used could affect the stiffness of the Tablet's case. Also certain plastics crack easily overtime, which may cause the entire tablet to fall apart after a while. i.e. like the plastic casing used in the HP TouchPad.

    • zealmax on 28/03/2013 - 09:13

      It sure sounds better than Ainol. The name puts me off from buying one. I just can't imagine turning up to coporate meetings with an "7 inch Ainol" tablet.

    The specs are good, but I'd be concerned that it takes more than good components to make a reliable tablet. Testing is the bit that cheap technologies cut cost on, and the fact that they admit having crushed a few screens before realising their packaging was inadequate kind of shows that.
    The site says nothing about warranty.

      Sure not as good as lower res models, one questions whether the res matters that much if battery life in turn suffers greatly

    • lamerthanlam on 27/03/2013 - 23:28

      I think its like <5 hours, can't remember where I read it from. But, if you're a DIY sort of person, you can always upgrade the battery.

    another one that seems decent at around the same price point is the cube…

    http://www.cube-stores.com/cube-u30gt2-rk3188-quad-core-10-1…

    Im VERY tempted to grab one of those quad core 1.8Ghz, quad core mali400

    same type of specs…

    the new chinese quads dont seem to have GPS, but i've never really used the GPS on my acer…
    so, better clock speed and better camera.

    lol, looks like i was 4 minutes too slow… you bit the bullet while i was typing :)

      The RK3188 CPU is one of the fastest at the moment. Look up Antutu benchmarks and you will see outperform the Nexus 7 and 10. Just waiting for these to come in a 7" format. All,are 10" in size.

      Oooooh…..but I think the Ramos has the Samsung Quad Core CPU though. Better me thinks?

      • lamerthanlam on 27/03/2013 - 23:29

        Yes and No. Right now the real life performance of the Rockchip Quad is worse than Samsung Quad BUT the theoretical performance of the Rockchip is supposed to be way better. I'll chock it down to bad software for now.

          Touché - in a sort of a roundabout way. I think I can claim undue influence from the fact that not all blackboards are vertical. The last time I saw one it was indeed horizontal and in the hands of a four year-old!

    Why is everyone saying good specs?
    Its got a pathetic front and back camera
    Low res screen compared to the common "retina" displays

      The majority of people don't care about camera res.
      1920x1200 is plenty good enough for 99% of uses.
      It supports Android 4.1 which, again, is good enough for the majority of people.

      The specs that people are referring to as good are the CPU, the inbuilt RAM and the good res (compared to most tablets).

        I really don't get the logic of taking pictures using a tablet, especially a 10" one. Odds are people who owns a tablet would also have a smartphone. Why not use the phone to take pictures? Holding a large tablet to take pictures feels awkward IMO.

    Anybody know if I can get a little add-on device to boost GPS?

    • wisc on 11/04/2013 - 14:25

      firstly, wrong topic? why you posting about your phone here in this tab post?

      i have a bluetooth GPS, but would imagine you'd need drivers to get it working on a phone, other than that, have you got the GPS sensor enabled, have you downloaded a "GPS status" app?, first connection can take quite a few minutes
      the GPS status app will be good as it will tell you if it can track any satellites at all…
