It just means you can't bring it back for a change of mind return. they have this policy for all items which have memory installed and also for other items like earrings jewellery etc.

If the item does not work out of the box or if it is otherwise faulty it is a totally different thing!

If faulty you just bring it back and tell them it is faulty and that you require a replacement repair or refund.

Has anyone noticed any issue with the WiFi dropping off a lot and only showing one bar when signal on all other phones and laptops is excellent?

Funnily enough the signal bars on mine rarely reach above 2 bars but the speed itself is excellent and not in any way slow when using

Dammit BA!
I already have an unusable tablet from about 3 years ago;

Pretty sure this will be a sound investment though

Reserved; now just need to fully convince myself to go collect and pay tomorrow

LowOdour · 13-11-2014 09:39PM

I have reserved one of these for my folks, was going to pick it up tomorrow but they have increased their budget so I see this one is reduced aswell as within their budget.

Can anyone confirm if this has a front facing camera? Argos spec doesn't mention it but the Amazon description says it has? Thanks

May be interested in getting this or the Lenovo as a gift. Apart from size which would be best?

Anyone have problems connecting a Moga controller?
Mine won't connect

Sorry to go off thread a bit but been looking at the 10' version of this and the HD+ has come down to €268 on Amazon UK (sorry can't post links), anyone any thoughts on whether HD+ is worth the extra few quid

I think if you're going for the 10 inch its definetly worth the extra money. One of the biggest complaints of the first evolution was that the screen resolution while fine for the 8 inch wasn't for the 10 inch. It has gone from 1280*800 to 1920*1200. With all the other improvements you get on top of that with the new one I certainly would think it's worth the extra if you're going for the 10 inch.
