Review on πŸ“± Dell Venue 8 Tablet with Android OS, 16GB Storage (Model 3840) by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Stay away. Do not buy. Don't even go near this product.

This tablet can't be used. I bought it because my Nexus 7 was stubborn and it turned out to be a waste of money. More than a month went by and I thought it was impossible - it got even worse. I thought I could handle the constants Heal or bypass freezes by switching from Chrome ("Chrome not responding") to F switch to irefox. This worked well enough until a few days later, everything I was accessing through Firefox suddenly shut down. You're in the middle of something and it just disappears. I've tried the commonly prescribed fixes (except for removing the battery, which is akin to brain surgery) and nothing improved performance. Nothing works. Given that my time is worth something, I refuse to waste more of it on this piece of shit. Let's go back to my Nexus. The iPad will be my next tablet.
