There's a 7" Dual Core Android Tablet on living social at the moment for €49 or €69 for the one with 3G and GPS. Anyone know if there any good? Sounds good and has a camera too... Cheers!

I generally wouldn't trust a no name Chinese brand.

The 32GB Nexus 7 2012 is €125 on Argos, a lot more than €50 but definitely worth it.

512mb of Ram! Get it and enjoy putting your fist through it when trying to open second window in your browser.

Viewing angle on these cheap units tend to be crap.

It's €49 plus delivery, can't remember but about €15.
See the Argos one listed above, twice the ram, recognised brand for €77, no comparison.

Has anyone purchased this deal off Livingsocial. I did on Dec 1st and it still says awaiting fullfillment. Anyone else have that problem.

Please allow up to 14 working days for delivery. so it should be here, but its coming from the uk, if its the same one from the link above. id drop them a mail.

The specs on this tablet are crap, you are going to immediately regret buying it.

lennie19ieie

Its for my Mother and all she'll be using it for is Skype. Think I'll have to drop them a mail but drop livingsocial a mail or the company that it is ordered with. I'm thinking Awaiting fullfillment means that they are awaiting payment from livingsocial. Not looking good to get it for christmas.

DO NOT BUY THIS! I purchased the very same tablet via pigsback.com and I have to say the quality is shocking. Screen is a hazy display, and that is looking at it straight on, but what really got my gears grinding was trying to use the thing. The response times are extremely frustrating and there are occasions you have to touch the screen five times to perform an action. I sent it back to the supplier within the return window 4 weeks ago and am still awaiting refund. I contacted them everyday by email and their responses were extremely limited. The helpline doesn't get answered. One of the worst things I have ever purchased... STAY AWAY!

Cheers for the replies. Will try cancel the order so.

What did you expect? It is a no-name Chinese tablet with 512MB of RAM and a cheap price tag. Warning signs all over the place. As I've said before, never buy electronics from these deal sites. You almost certainly are not getting the deal you think you are getting.

mac_daddy

Still you expect something that can be at least usable... this thing wasn't even that. Lesson learned after for future dealings with any of these sites. A nicely worded long email about the saga to pigsback.com has been ignored.

90% of tablets advertised on living social, Pigsback, Groupon or grabone are appalling unless it's a refurbished nexus of galaxy tab.
They prey on the uninformed and gullible with words like "latest android" "KitKat" "over 100000 apps available" "kid friendly" .
General consensus is to steer clear.
