On the face of it it appears good value, has micro SD expandable memory and the OS is pretty much unmolested. I'm interested to see how good they really are.

Cheap, decent performance (apparently), not too much in the way of junk. About the only thing which might let it down is dodgy build and reliability - though it doesn't sound like that ought to be an issue.

Only tablets I'd buy from Tescos are the ibuprofen at 59p.

Is it 'biased' towards Tesco products and services in the same way that other propriatery tablets lean towards their 'favoured' provider(s)?

Have to wait till we see a review.

I wonder if you attempt to browse Asda.com it auto forwards you to Tesco....

It probably gives you an electric shock of you try to go to another Supermarket. Aversion therapy isn't it.

Tempted to take a punt on one, as it can be had for £60 worth of Clubcard vouchers, which I think I have.

One of the cheapest to have hdmi out, which is a factor for me with a non-smart TV and streaming stuff i want to watch on big screen.

I've printed out the £60 of vouchers, and just need to wander into Tesco to pick one up.

So I spend 60 quid of the missus's vouchers and get one?
Is that it?
How does one fund web etc?

Bit more info...

How does one fund web etc?

It's Wi-Fi only, so just connects to you Wi-Fi router, or a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Is that it?

Yes.

Bought one yesterday.

Have not even tried the Tesco button/app.

Just used it as a normal Android tablet. Exactly like my Note 2.

Sound could be louder.

The cameras are ok but the camera facing you for video calls is weak in low light.

Overall Works well, surfs the net quickly but racing games are not quick as top end tablets.
You tube works great.

I prefer my iPhone iOS but I'm not paying £500 for a top end ipad that has a lifespan for 2-3 years.

Nice way to try out Android. Jelly Bean has some nice features.

The old man has dropped it. Glad I didn't spend too much!

If you're a heavy user then you might want to cough up more.
