Chinese gadgets have a great market India. The reason is that the Indian market is so concerned about the price of a product more than the quality they offer (And this is one of the reasons for many companies to care less about our market). And for this reason, most of us are attracted towards the cheap Chinese tablets which are available for even $100. I've purchased a 7" inch Apad Tablet touch screen. I have already tested some of their media players, phones and other such gadgets.

I've already said that the Indian market is too much 'price concerned'. May be this needs a little explanation, we usually buy products by considering the price to performance ratio rather than just the price. And I think this is one of the reasons I bought that 7" Apad. This one comes with Wi-Fi, Android OS, front camera, multiple format compatibility, 2 GB internal memory, Gravity Sensor, motion sensor and tons of other awesome features and all for just $100. I've been using it for a while and I should say it's really good for its price. Well, I should also say that the gravity sensor and motion sensor are not worth, it's just there and here's no much use of it since it's surprisingly slow . You should buy stuff from a reliable online store (e.g. DealExtreme.com ) because they're ready to ship you a new item if you receive a non-working one, which often happens with Chinese gadgets.

Now if we discuss about the cons of the build quality there are, of course, a lot of it. First of all, the 7" resistive touch screen is not so responsive for most of the times. Unlike on iPad, Galaxy tab or any other branded tablet you would have to tap on screen a couple of times to open what you want - but we can't expect more for the price. Also most of the tablets comes with built in batteries and there is no way to access the internal hardware. That means, if there is a battery complaint or a very silly internal hardware error your tablet stops working there is not much you can do about it other than putting it away.

Also, don't buy tablets just because it looks good in online pictures. Always do some Google searches on the model no. (if any!) and look at the user reviews and their videos. User videos gives you a quick idea about the tablet. This is important because when you buy cheap Chinese gadget it's better to follow the crowd or you'll be sorry for that. I'm saying this because one of my friends had such an experience. He bought a tablet which looked great. It has no user reviews or ratings. Even in the discussion board some users said that the tablet was not worth compared to other ones. Yet he bought this one and after one month the tablet stopped working. And a $100 was wasted on the tablet.

Follow the instructions in the manual as it is if you want your tablet to last for a while. If you don't follow the instructions carefully your tablet's life span will be much shorter than you imagine.

Some tablets comes with Chinese manual alone which makes it very difficult for the users from outside to learn different function of the tablet.

I bought my tablet from DealExtreme via Postal service and I had some problems. The Customs department blocked my product and I had to pay Rs. 1600 to get my product. It's some issue with sending electronic gadget via Postal, at least that's what the guy there said to me. However, the notice I've received mentioned that there should be an import license to purchase any item from another country if it costs more than Rs. 5000.

As a final word, don't buy Chinese tablets if you want it to use frequently like your laptop. It would  take you several hours of punching on the screen to complete an email. Also you can't be sure whether it will last for even a year. You also don't have any worthy guarantees on the product . And it may not be even repairable. So if you're looking for some good tablets then don't go for these cheap ones.
