Review on πŸ“± 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 Aaron Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This tablet is really great for the price. BUT: plan to manually disable the touchpad if you intend to type a lot. (Easy!)

I love the tablet and the software. No problem. I found a keyboard bug at the end of this review, so skip it if you want to see the complaint (and how to fix it) first. I've had this tablet for two years now and rarely use it except for the occasional conference. (1-3 times a year). I mainly use it to collaborate on Google Docs and watch YouTube videos. I loaded a few games on it to while away the time on a flight and also used the Kindle app. For the price it's amazing. I still can't believe it works so well for the price. It's also lightweight and durable. If you want the laptop equivalent of creating online documents (Google Docs, etc.), light gaming (Candy Crush, not WOW), social networking, and watching YouTube videos, this is a great solution. I'm out of school, I have a desktop computer at home and work to manage and back up all my documents and finances and I just need something to take with me on the go. Two years later I'm still happy with it. THE BIGGEST FAILURE OF THIS PRODUCT: The touchpad is incredibly sensitive. If you plan on typing a lot on this tablet, you should really consider taking it apart and disabling the touchpad and just using the touchscreen instead of the cursor. HOW TO FIX THE ERROR: As it turns out, disabling the touchpad is insanely easy. There are videos on YouTube on how to do this, but I'm apparently forbidden to include the link in my review (a failed attempt), so you'll have to look it up yourself by looking at "How to turn off the touchpad" a RCA Viking Pro". Keyboard shortcut for 10" 2-in-1 tablet or something like that. You will need: Small Phillips screwdriver, about 1 minute. but it connects well to WiFi and does everything I need it to. Now that I found a tutorial on YouTube I'll disable the touchpad and probably love it even more.

Pros
