Got one of these last week and been using it every day. First thing I noticed the screens colours aren't as vibrant as the nexus or I pad mini, other than that I love it.

Performance is brilliant, it has an nVidia Tegra 4 at its heart which blasts through everything I throw at it. I had a web browser, YouTube, Dead Trigger 2 and Google Music running all at the same time and it was still really smooth. Considering it just has 1GB ram that's great going.

The screen and stylus work perfectly, for £100 I was a bit dubious but the build quality is excellent. Battery life is around 7 hours with a lot of use. I mostly browse the web, YouTube, play some games and watch shows in mp4 format from the SD card. Which brings me to the KitKit update which renders the SD card useless. I had to root the tablet in order to move apps and things to the SD.

The stereo speakers at the front are awesome. Watching videos is a whole new experience on the tablet thanks to these. The're loud and clear and makes gaming more immersive too. The graphics are the best I've seen thank to the Tegra 4 chip. Dead Trigger 2 looks like a 360 game! None Tegra games look good too but FIFA 14 suffers from jaggies. I'd love to see more Tegra optimised games that are compatible with none Tegra devices.

I'm very happy with the tablet and would thoroughly recommend it.

Was playing Dead Trigger 2 and noticed some low FPS in outside areas, wonder if you can overclock the Tegra 4? Shouldn't have to considering the game was made for Tegra 4
 
Got a mini USB to female USB OTG cable and connected my 360 pad



Works really well and make playing FPS and Racing games much more enjoyable :)
 
I bought one last week for £99 and very impressed, as long as you don't put it side by side with a iPad or nexus the screen is perfectly fine and I do own a mini retina.

Bought mine so I could take it to work and not worry too much about losing it with it being very cheap. Got a 64GB memory card and a Nyko Bluetooth controller coming .

Much better than the 2012 nexus 7 I used to have :)
 
Can you post a picture of the controller please. That Usb OTG cable is really fiddly. What games are you playing? I'm on Dead Trigger 2, Real Racing, SG Deadzone and Modern Combat 4.
 
cool tempted to pick one up, got an old asus tf300 but very slow these days and blue tooth seems to be completely broken since an update that i cant reverse without rooting!
 
I love to play colling mc ray on mine, the car do also get damaged and get worser and worser the more walls you hit, really great fun. If you go to advanced settings and enable TXAA it is really looking nice too for an old game like this
 
Had mine a few days now, great bit of kit with a really good battery life - haven't even looked at my other tablets this weekend :)
 
What's wrong with them? On a side note got an OTA update on the weekend. But I had re-root my device which is annoying.
