I need a tablet for my dad who's 82. Needs to be simple to use--he really only wants internet, email, word processing. Is this a good choice?

Yeah... It works pretty well for that but if you want to download a ton if stuff I wouldn't recomend it it gets a little slow after you take up a few gigabytes

works well and is decent for the money.......not the best but does those things well.if you can afford an iPad great but if you want the basics this works.

This is an old model. You can get the Archos 80 Titanium which is 8" or the archos 97 Titanium. They have faster processors and don't have problems with storage when you install apps.

No - it's an older tablet with an older version of Android. Some programs are a little buggy and dont work very well. Your dad would be better served with an Ipad or more refined android tablet like a samsung. This is a good cheap tablet but there are a lot of compromises which are too much for someone who isn't technically inclined.

Save your money and get something newer and faster. Just about any tablet is going to be faster, lighter and easier to use. You can now buy a decent tablet for considerably less than $100.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

Hi,Purchased this for my Dad back in Nov. Unfortunately, He died shortly after the purchase. However, I did set it up for him and found the people to be very nice and helpful. I got just the basic things for him as he was 93 years old and I was not pressured to purchase more. After he passed away terminating the service was not difficult.

If I understand what is happening, I can buy a $99 tablet that will work for at least the next year or so, as WebOS will still be out there, and if WebOS disappears alltogether, I will still have a kindle reader? and also an mp3 player for my $99?

It is fine, but I would get a kindle fire. The tablet we have is very slow. Not sure why, but rarely use anymore. Bought a kindle fire he and love it. No comparison.

Please don't waste your money. I have one and the company had so many complaints they took them selves off the internet. You can buy one but you can't get any support and no refunds. Amazon may sell them and they shouldn't. I paid 399.00 and I could have bought a good tablet. They do not work like they promise. Has an old system and you can't update. Hope this helps.

This is a tablet PC unlike android operating system tablets. So there aren't a lot of apps made to work well with it. You can however use it like a laptop with keyboard and mouse, which allows you to connect to printers and use it like a computer. Is it worth the money? For me it was no. I would rather a tablet like google nexus 10.

It depends on what you are using it for. I for gaming I would have to say no. Programming possibly. Check with you application's system requirements first. For basic MS office yes but it is slow. Surfing the Web is slow too. This was my solution to a more expensive tablet because of it's small size. I also have two much faster computers.

It's not a bad tablet; however, it's old already. I bought it sometime ago and I had to deal with the fact that it's not compatible with many popular apps nowadays. Mine stopped charging a few month ago and I assume it's because the circuit board the port it's attached to broke down. I would recommend a newer version.

I wish I could help! My Access tablet Died 2 weeks ago. I received it in Jul 13. One adult user. Think they have many quirks, buy 4G card.

Well, it comes with office, many, if not most apps are free...at least the ones that I use. For surfing, browsing and watching movies or videos, I rarely touch my PC or laptop anymore. Having said that, it's not a powerhouse. I have purchased nothing for use on this tablet and would buy it again, or the new one with the atom processor ( or is it tegra 4?)

I might get an-hour. Ematic' nor Android apps impress me. Get a regular laptop computer. The tablet is so-so for reading pdf books' my primary reason for purchasing it. Cao!

I bought one of these two years ago. It was pretty old then....It would do for surfing the web...but that's about all. I wouldn't plan on doing any photo editing or game playing with this computer. I'd probably go for something newer...but it should work for surfing the web and e-mail...but not much else.

I would truly recommend Samsung Chromebook (Wi-Fi, 11.6-Inch) 2012 Model -- if you are not a gamer, do not manipulate or save a lot of video, do not save 1000s of photos, and enjoy web surfing, emailing, and lite office software - this product/price cannot be beat. Have purchased two of them. Plus, if you drop it or it gets stolen, it's much less of a big deal cause it's $250. Don't get the 3G version - just the wifi.

I would say there has to be better tablets out there. In my case, I returned this tablet because my daughter found it to be so difficult to use due to basic response issues with both the hardware and software. I purchased an iPad for her instead and it has been smooth sailing ever since.
