Mach Speed TRIO-STEALTH PRO METAL-7CM Tablet Allwinner Cortex A8 1.20GHz 7" Capacitive Touch Screen LCD 512MB DDR3 Memory

Pros: Decent quality. Heavy metal body.

Cons: No google play (although you can root this and install GP).
DC chargers all quit working.
Not much room for installing apps. Only 500mb availale for apps. Although you can move most apps to the SD card.

Other Thoughts: Bought 3 at christmas time for myself and my kids. The DC chargers didn't work right out of the box. Luckily they can be charged with the usb cable. WiFi is ok... Not great but they do connect and keep a connection.

No app stores installed. You can download the big "A" app store from the mach speed website. You can root the tablet very easily. Google search "Root many android" (and choose option 1 not 2). After rooting you can install google play. Google search "Rooted Kindle Fire HD with working GAPPS and Play Store".

After rooting this tablet it's really not that bad. Definately not for someone who just wants something to work right out of the box. You will want to root this and install google play before using it. So there will be some setup required.

Got one for myself and my two boys ages 7 and 11. Both my boys can operate these with no problems.

Pros: Nice graphics, makes a decent e-reader, cheap - but then, you get what you pay for (see below)

Cons: If you have more than a few small apps installed, this thing is good for nothing but a paperweight. Seriously, you can't even get down through an hour or so's newsfeed on Facebook before it starts freezing. Says it's a 1.2 GHz processor but system information says 1.0. Constantly need to kill processes and empty cache just to be able to OPEN an app.

Frequently loses wifi - not the connection, it suddenly doesn't HAVE wifi until you reboot it. When it is connected, it's often extremely slow, even with a full-strength signal - streaming video is problematic, and sometimes even simple file downloads take eons (still waiting for a small photo to download through Gmail that I started ten minutes BEFORE starting this review).

Poorly made - the plug for the charger will not stay in tightly, and coupled with a ridiculously short cord, it's impossible to use while plugged in. This is a problem because when the battery gets down about halfway, this thing becomes a stone. (And recharging through USB takes forever.) The slot for the micro-SD card is also a problem, takes a lot of playing around to get it mountable, for all intent and purposes it isn't a removable drive since it takes work to get it out then a lot more playing around to get it back in.

Screen sensitivity is all over the place. Oversensitive at times (very difficult to scroll through a list without it making a selection on its own), no sensitivity at others (you almost have to bang on it with a hammer).

Can not access GooglePlay store; many (but far from all) apps are available elsewhere, but often do not work once installed.

Camera quality is horrible.

Other Thoughts: Admittedly, I bought this as a first tablet. It was cheap (bought it around Black Friday) and I figured it might be a nice 'starter' tablet, something to learn the ropes, and I could always move up to a more powerful and better equipped unit later. The experience has been so awful I'm seriously rethinking whther I want a tablet at all.

Shortly after I bought this Newegg had it as out of stock and unsure as to whether they were going to get more. They really shouldn't have.

Pros: Low price

Cons: Not the easiest tablet to give your kids to handle, The power button got stuck. When I went to check if I had bought the warranty to return it, I noticed I had missed my chance. I said okay I'm sure it has a company one year warranty, and it did. So when I went to call Mach Speed.. The operator would run me in circles and by the end of my 30 min call, I never heard a human talk to me about my problem.

Pros: Bought it for my daughter, she has not complained about it yet. Lots of free apps available.

Cons: None, bought it at $79 with no regrets.

Pros: Nothing is pro when it doesn't work for more then a month. Also didnt support Google play but I knew that going in. In any case I will now have to send it back at my expense to Trio, something I am not used to doing buying from Newegg

Cons: Died after 20 days of use. Christmas gift!

Pros: Worked well while it worked. I was able to get apps through Amzon.

Cons: It died for no apparent reason less than 2 months after I ordered it.

Pros: price

Cons: died after 27 days(my good luck)

Other Thoughts: somewhat slow

Pros: Great little tablet. I now own 3 of them and have not had any problems. Gets the job done. No fancy bells or whistles. I have always bought Mach Speed MP3 players for my family because they last and can take the abuse of small ones. When they came out with this tablet I just had to have one.

Cons: No play store yet.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a cheap tablet to explore this is the one. not the fastest but it does have great graphics. As I said in the con, no Google play store yet but there are many other app stores to satisfy your needs.

Pros: .

Cons: Sold as new, but received an open item. Wifi barely works. Received with previous WiFi connection listed. Can't use Google Play Store. AC charger worked once, now doesn't work.

Other Thoughts: Newegg would not allow a return because past policy date. Item bought on Black Friday and opened on Christmas, so how was I to know of the problems. First time disappointed with Newegg.

Pros: It was shipped quickly and looked very nice for the price. Very lightweight and easy to use. Picture looked very nice and the built in camera was a nice feature for skype. The apps downloaded very fast and I was impressed with most of it.

Cons: The WiFi on this is terrible. I could not use anything on the tablet unless I was sitting right next to the router. It was kind of ridiculous. I tried using the WiFi at many different places and it was so slow that I could not use it. I bought it as a gift for someone and I am now in the process of returning it.
