Coby Kyros mid8125 * Great mid-range tablet at a great price *

I bought a Coby Kyros mid8125 for my wife a few months ago and am very happy with my purchase. I did a lot of research to make sure I got the size she wanted (that's 8 inches) and that the tablet still has enough power to comfortably handle most tasks for a mid-range tablet! And people should remember, this isn't a high-end iPad or Samsung Galaxy. The Coby Kyros mid8125 comes with a very decent 1GHz processor and 500MB RAM and for a tablet in this price range these are very good specs and games recommend using a stylus. (My mom recently bought a tablet like this, but it was very sluggish, that's why I was looking for such features) it plays videos perfectly, it stays connected to our home network without any problems, its 4 GB of internal memory is great For starters though it's expandable up to 32GB with a micro SD card, it comes with all the necessary cables etc for anything you might need and I also bought one of those faux leather mini keyboard cases and not bothered which one to eat compatibility issues it worked great the only thing i would recommend is to buy a micro usb to usb adapter (it comes with an adapter cable but since it is a cable , it extends the length and the $1 adapter costs nothing). Browsing the Internet is fast enough and the sound is also quite good for a tablet of this size (headphone jack and headphones are also included). The Getjar app market was really good, we were able to find most of the things we wanted on this tablet. There are some very good games that work very well on this tablet. No delay. Game types include Solitaire, Word Search, Mahjong, Suduko, Gems, Boggle and everyone's favorite Angry Birds! We didn't try any of the high-end games since it's not a high-end tablet, but the games above worked great! The battery life is pretty good, about 5 hours of continuous use, but it can be extended. By dimming the screen and disabling Wi-Fi when not needed, it can also be used when plugged in and charging. So I gave this product four stars because I am very happy with it (I reserve a five star rating for exceptional purchases), it does everything it says on the box and does it very well and a very good price! If you are looking for a mid-range tablet this is definitely a good buy and as long as your expectations are realistic you will be very happy! My wife is very happy with her, so am I too! UPDATE: If anyone is having trouble connecting these devices to their home WiFi network, go to your router setup and switch your WiFi channel signal to channel 2 and this should fix the problem without affecting any of your other devices
