Review on 📱 RCA Viking Pro 10" 2-in-1 Tablet - 32GB Quad Core with Touchscreen and Detachable Keyboard - Google Android 5.0: Ultimate Versatility and Power by Matt Watkins

This is a very good budget tablet that comes with a useful and very functional keyboard that lets you it works like a notebook. It's good for work and better for fun. Here are some of the key points that drive my rating: Responsiveness: I was a little unhappy with it at first, and I've seen other reviews comment on this. I found a setting that improves screen responsiveness. Go to Settings > Language & input > Pointer speed. There is a slider, probably in the middle. Moving it to the right makes the touchscreen much more responsive. I am much happier after this adjustment. The default setting requires a harder pressure, and some people prefer this (I suspect). Keyboard: I can type fast on this keyboard, just like on a laptop. However, the right shift key used for capitalization is shrunken to make room for the page up key, and I press this key a lot, which causes my typing to move higher up in my document, and this is frustrating . I need to slow down to make sure I don't make that mistake. Otherwise, as I said, the typing speed for me is almost as high as that of a full-fledged laptop or desktop keyboard. The keys feel solid, unlike the cloth keyboard that comes with some Surface tablet models (I had the first generation and hated the keyboard). Performance: Since I was able to install Microsoft Office, I can use this tablet as a pretty decent replacement for my work computer. I would probably rely on it for most office tasks, and as a college professor I have a lot of them. I need a backup for heavy work when I have multiple windows and programs open at the same time like the statistics programs I use, but this works great for lighter work. I don't see the statistics programs I need here and they are pulling me back to the Windows platform. I was pleased to be able to print without any problems after installing the HP print apps that work with my Wi-Fi printer. The ability to play games depends on what kind of games you like. I have an Xbox for serious gaming, but I play Star Wars Commander, Words with Friends, and a few other games on Viking without too much trouble. I see some glitches with Star Wars - see my comments on RAM. Memory. I've noticed that the device's limited memory of 1GB sometimes causes apps to crash. Not often enough to affect the overall performance of the device. I recommend closing unused apps while you work or try to play a game to avoid crashes. Storage. 32GB is enough for me. I have over 100 apps installed and lots of free space. I use Onedrive to store my files so I don't need a lot of space to store my personal files. Hey, wondering how much does a 32GB iPad cost :). operating system. Android Lollipop performed well on this device. I'm normally a Windows proponent, but the ubiquity of Android and iOS has forced Microsoft to offer many of its products on those platforms, and what's important to me, that means MS Office. I'm very impressed with the range and selection of apps in the Google Play Store and that's a big plus. Battery. I had low expectations as this is a budget device and that usually means worse battery life. My wife's iPad is an absolute battery rock star, but I could buy three Vikings and if one died, I'd have two more! Joking aside, the battery is actually quite good and exceeded my expectations. I recommend turning off the device, charging it and unplugging it after a few hours when not in use. Charging takes some time. I usually get several hours of use, even with some games. Value. If you want to be at the top, you have to be prepared to pay anywhere from a few hundred to over $1,000. It offers you the best battery life, screen resolution, memory, storage space and performance. This device costs about ten times less than the most expensive tablet/laptop hybrids. Of course the camera is bad, the battery is 'good' not 'great', the screen is nice but not stunning, the RAM and performance are decent and annoying at times, the storage capacity is impressive. Overall, you'll likely find the occasional headache to justify the cost, like I did. I like budget devices and have two smartphones, a tablet, a desktop computer, a gaming console, and a laptop that total less than $1,000. How can one device replace everything? If money is no object then ignore my post entirely and buy a Galaxy Tab or iPad.
