I am having headaches trying to buy a reasonable good quality 7inch android tablet on the web

I see AINOL (no.1 tablet manufacturer in china) tablets are very popular but are they really that good for the money?

The best high spec tablet for my budget that i could find is the Ainol Novo 7 Flame/Fire but it is difficult to buy as it is always out of stock

my budget is 130euro / $180

the least specs i am looking for are dual/quad core cpu, 1280x800 resolution, dual/quad core mali 400 GPU

can someone guide me pick up a good one? thanks!

too expensive...my budget is 130euros

you have a very strict budget then if you're not willing to go $19 over

you literally are not going to find anything better at a lower price outside of the Novo 7 Flame that you talked about

not trying to be rude or anything, just telling it like it is

i think the best bet is to go for the Novo 7 Flame altough the flame 2 will be out in a month or two

is it true that the arm mali 400 gpu is better than the Vivante GC1000+?

Just read a little bit about this, as I have also been looking at the Ainol range - http://www.topnotchtablets.com/ainol_act-act7029_chipset

from the looks of it, the new version will be the same price but have slightly better specs and come with Jelly Bean so if you can, I'd wait to try and get the flame 2 if it does come out in the next couple months

as for the GPUs I'm not really sure as I'm more familiar with the nvidia tegras

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and am very pleased with it's performance and overall quality.

I can most certainly vouch for this, we got one to trial at work and it has been nothing short of amazing. The price was excellent for the overall quality too. (Y)

I'd get the Ployer Momo7 Talent. (RK3066 dual core 1.6ghz, mali-400 quade core gpu, 1280x800 ips display, 16GB storage)

In fact I did!

I'm very happy with it's performance for it's price (I managed to get it for ?107) and it's screen is fantastic :)

Everything runs silky smooth. The only downside is that it only gets 27fps in the new Unreal engine demo, which isn't fantastic but it isn't terrible either. I can imagine a lot of games will be coming out in the near future. I doubt the tablet you were already looking at does much better though.

Biggest bonus over the one you were looking at is it actually comes with Android 4.1.1

I managed to root it and install CWM which isn't always (easily) possible with a lot of Chinese tabs.

My overclocked to 1.4GHz JB TF101 doesn't get much more than that iirc, something around 33fps, the TF101 has the Tegra 2, so that's not too shady at all

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
