Review on πŸ’» ASUS 10.1-Inch ME301T-A1-WH Tablet with 16GB Storage (White) by Rimba ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

I took this tablet when I found that it was inconvenient to surf the Internet on a seven-inch one. It fully justified expectations, on 10 inches the Internet looks much better. In addition, it is much more comfortable to read books, especially technical literature in graphic formats (pdf, djvu). Separately, I was pleased with the battery - I did not specifically measure the operating time, but for a day on the train in the reading room mode it was enough with a margin. I did not notice any special lags, but I did not use "heavy" programs on it, I did not play games. The video didn't seem to slow down. Well, it lay well in the hands, it did not creak or dangle. Now for the cons. Delayed auto-lock function did not work. That is, any delay could be set, but the lock turned on immediately after it was turned off, regardless of the settings. The screen sometimes (rarely enough) began to "stupid", as if sensitivity disappeared in spots on it. Because of this, scrolling the pages was very inconvenient. It seems like after one of the last ates it went away. I dropped it several times, and a couple of times - during charging, right on the connector. Due to the large mass of the device, the connector on the native cable was blown to pieces, the socket in the device was also damaged. It was charging normally, but the connection with the computer via the cord stopped working. As a result, after the last fall, the screen crashed right on the sharp-angled piece of iron. The service asked for 10,000 for a replacement (comparable to the price of a new one), and then lost it altogether. In principle, I would say that the device survived all these abuses quite worthily, and if I had taken care of buying a cover in time, it would still be alive.

Pros
  • Price, screen size, decent build, good battery.
Cons
  • Minor glitches with the settings for requiring a password at startup, touch screen glitches (seemingly disappeared after the latest ates), expensive repairs.
