I bought one of these for an elderly relative to use as a photo & video album. Not expecting much from a device in this price range, I was impressed by its capabilities. I promptly ordered another one for myself. This tablet runs the full PC version of Windows 10, and syncs effortlessly with my laptop. Zoostorm have sensibly installed the mobile version of Office, no subscription required. I encountered the same two problems while setting up both tablets: 1] It has very little spare memory, so put an SD card in straight away - any size will do, but make it 16gb or more if you plan to use a lot of apps or save large media files. You can then tell Windows to save all apps & new files to your SD. 2] While updating Windows for the first time, both devices became unresponsive. I was on the verge of returning the first one when I found Microsoft's "Restart my phone" help page (no. 10769.) What to do: Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time for 15 seconds, then let go. The device will automatically restart and finish installing the update. If you need to perform a factory reset, continue the process with "Reset my phone" (page 10768.) That's it! The SL8i75 has pretty poor cameras and a terrible microphone. I can't get Cortana working with the mic, but it's just about good enough for Skype. As with most mobile devices, it's worth getting a decent headset. Video playback is absolutely fine. Stepfather loves being able to watch recordings of family events, and I'm using mine for Netflix in bed. Update: Both devices crashed after a feature update. I hadn't exported the drivers and Zoostorm doesn't publish a driver package. I ended up sending them back, sadly. Zoostorm's customer service has been impeccable throughout. I would buy from them again.Read full review

Great features for cheap price but very poor battery life need to set screeen to 0% brightness (you can barely see the screen) to get just 5-6 hours. otherwise just lasts 3 hours max.

I paid £30 for a refurbished unit. Great for this price, works as required, powerful enough for all the usual stuff. BUT you need to insert a micro SD card (16gb upwards) as there is little room left in the storage, in fact not enough room for windows to do its recent anniversary update, in fact this ruined my tablets windows install. Wouldn't complete the update and wouldn't work after. Stock in a boot loop, hold power for ten seconds to power off. After a bit of faffing I performed a clean install of windows 10, and loaded all the drivers (very hard to find but they are on the zoostorm site. ) Now it's much faster and cleaner and seems to be much nicer to use! It's a tricky process, you need a windows 10 install (on USB stick or micro SD, created by the media creation tool from Microsoft), a USB hub, wired mouse and keyboard. I think it was F1 whilst booting to bring up bios, select windows boot manager in final screen etc to initiate the boot from install disk. Then load all drivers by updating driver from device manager. Take a while to do each component one by one.Read full review

This tablet is of very high quality and performance, Windows 10 is a little awkward to get used at first because we're all used to iOS & Android when it comes to touch screens, absolute bargain and worth every penny. Had 1GB Ram Tab's before and they were slow, I'm amazed how fast this tablet performs even with windows 10 onit. Must have!

Not at all impressed with this tablet. Very poor battery life, keeps losing WiFi even next to the router and fails to open apps on a regular basis. Might just be mine but I don’t think so.
