    1GB isn't enough.. you want at least 2GB. Low resolution, old version of Android and low internal storage. It does have LTE though which is probably the best thing about it.

    Not worth it IMO

    Is it possible to get a half decent tablet for under €100?

    Seems expensive for the spec...

    Bad unbranded tablet. Not a bargain.

    Got one of these the last time they were on offer - turned out to be awful quality and died within 6 months - I wouldn't recommend it.

    Better off going for a Lenovo 7" at around €70 Argos frequently have them e.g.

    Go nowhere near this "bargain".  I purchased this as a bash around tablet for my toddlers.  Returned it the day I got it.... absolutely terrible performance, resolution etc.  Was a pain getting the refund, involved a lot of calls to Pigsback.

    Might be worth keeping an eye out on amazon

    US site is, or will be, offering the Fire HD10 for $100 in the Black Friday deals so may filter down to European sites

    Exactly - Why don't they specify the brand & model no.
    Probably a heap of sh***.
