Great, solid tablet

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was my first tablet. It was a great size. I found it suprisingly heavy for its size. A friend has an iPad, which I think is same if not lighter. I was coming from being an ipod touch 5 user, and I wanted something with a bigger screen.
I think my ipod has a little faster processer than this tablet. Not sure of the comparable specs, but a game like Running With Friends runs perfect, albeit small, on my ipod, where it stutters and pauses on the tablet. Most other games/apps run fine, so it could be poor app programming. The wireless seems the same as my ipod. Hard to judge. Sometimes it seems slow, but can't tell if it's app's fault or device.
The sound is great, and the headphone jack is at the top. The buttons are nicely places, but are sensitive. Both the physical buttons and the touch bottoms at the bottom. I find myself adjusting the volume when just holding it. The buttons at the bottom are very senstiive and click when just bearly touched, if that. The screen is almost as sensitive, but not really in a bad way. The locational touch sensor seems more accurate than on my ipod touch.
I only got the 8 gig memory version. What I didn't know before getting it is that all apps, app data, and everything else by default wants to save to local memory. I put a 32gig SD card in it, but only certain apps will save to this memory. I have a modest number of apps, and didn't even update the apps I don't use, and I'm at 5gig used already. (that doesn't even count pictures, videos or music) I highly recommend getting more on-board memory versions if at all possible. I was talked out of getting higher memory version by sales rep saying 8 gig was more than enough. I wish I spent the extra money.
overall, I'm happy with it. I use it for games, apps, and to watch videos. I also use it for streaming music. I'll continue to use my ipod for music, and when I need something more portable, but I use this more often, as its easier to see apps on the larger screen.

Straightforward CD with songs you would expect.

Good songs and appropriate selection for such a collection. Vocals weren't the greatest, but that isn't why you buy this, so it didn't matter.
Fun to sing some of the xmas classics.
What's great about it: Good selection of xmas songs
What's not so great: vocal quality was some times a little off putting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a great choice of songs for such a collection

My daughter, who is up on current music, wasn't thrilled with the selection of songs. Only a couple slightly interested her. Not a good mix of music for this genre
What's great about it: Had both vocal and non vocal versions
What's not so great: Poor selection of songs, even for my 14 yr old daugher.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This karaoke machine features a top-loading CD+G player and displays graphics and lyrics on the 5-1/2" black-and-white monitor. Dual microphone inputs let you sing with a friend (additional microphone not included).

Very disappointing device.

Biggest complaint is that it says it takes MP3/ipod input, but doesnt have an input jack. You need a special cord that takes ipod output to rca left/right jacks. Baffling why this wouldn't come with device, since it isn't a common cord.
Screen quality was fine for a black and white screen, and the output to TV was nice, but only failr quality, like original Nintendo game system quality.
comes with one mic, but accepts 2. separate sound levels for each. Even at highest cranked levels, you could hardly hear the singers voice, both with the mic that came with the unit and the one I already had. Even when sound was coming through TV. device had an automatic setting to lower song level when someone was singing, but it bearly made a difference to the output level of the singer. You could always hear the singer directly more than what came out of the unit or on the TV.
Unit may have been defective.
What's great about it: Output to TV
What's not so great: sound quality & levels makes singing into it useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
