I own and use this model.

It's OK, although could be a tad lighter for the size. There is no Google Play (of course!) but you can side-load it... Although compatibility is not 100% and a few Google app will crash. Other than that, the battery life is OK and lasts enough for very long flights... Which works for me. Hard to go wrong when you buy a decent tablet for $35.

Never was a fan of the
Amazon
user interface though.

This would probably work well for a drone, no?

Wish it had an extra gig of RAM. Went with the ZTE model advertised on here cause of that alone.

I bought 2 of these during Black Friday. They worked fine for web but after I loaded a few apps the performance was really crappy. I ended up giving them away to some second graders. Unless you are going to root this, save yourself the frustrations and get a higher end model with more memory. The money will be well spent.

Which apps did you use, #7?
It works with Logitech blu-tooth keyboard and even with foreign languages.
I use it for on the road writing, web surfing, emailing, social media, You Tube, even shopping... works great.
Truly a computing combination that costs under $100. For more serious stuff, I work in my office with more powerful computer.

Funny you should say that, I'm using that exact model and it works great and the visuals are fine. Seriously. You know... Just don't.

I recommend using the current Android functionality and just killing apps that you don't need at the moment, via the Android window interface (the "square"). Sure it will throttle down if you keep a dozen apps running - just like any other computer including expensive gaming rigs (which I also own).

Just Google Chrome, UC browser, Youtube, KTSF and Singtao for local news and also some apps for watching TVB stuff. My original plan was to set up the 2 Fire tablets for some old folks but the performance was unacceptable to them. So I had to use the higher end Fire 8.
