Im not worried. If its faulty then I'll get it replaced.

Any of you that have pre-ordered it worried about the potential screen fault?

I think I have it. It is very minor and only noticeable if you press down on the left side quite hard. I don't think I can be bothered to get a replacement and set it all up again.

That would annoy me so much! I think my final decision is not to order one of these.

Are you talking about the screen distorting if you "press down really really hard"...

Such a thing is surely a non-issue.

Just been watching a YouTube review and they said it takes seven hours to charge and I was fairly shocked, I've never had a tablet before so just wondered if that was normal for them?

Nope, the actual screen coming lose from the casing.

Well phones generally take 3~ hours on the mains and 6~ hours via USB, so it doesn't seem that shocking?

Ah, that would suck.

7 hours seems extreme, sure they didn't mean it can last 7 hours?

I am gutted. I saved the cash just to get this. Faults ftl.

You're not getting it just because it *may* have a fault?

Or is this a super common problem?

It really isn't something that shows up in any kind of use. Only reason I discovered it is because of the screen being loose reports.

No, it's a problem with him. Just read some of his posts in this forum section and well, facepalm.

The screen issue appears to only have affected a very small number of units so far and most of those that have it, the screen appears be out by only 1mm or so.

He says it at about 9.55 of the video. But as Robbo says, it seems as though it's normal.

I know he has a pretty bad case of OCD when it comes to faults.

Seriously how do you cope with every product/object in life? Your car, microwave, oven, TV, monitor etc.

Would you be kind enough to list them?

Not sure about the Archer book but all the rest are freebies, like The 39 Steps, Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein etc,

Also, zero screen issues for me, thankfully. And I can confirm charging takes a few hours. Just charge it overnight, non-issue for me.

He must be a nervous wreck in RL.
