Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II
2 reviews
What a great little machine – Still going after years of use, this is a fantastic 7 inch Android tablet especially for the kids as it is robust and takes the knocks well. Very responsive touch screen. Only issue would be that you have to install your own roms/firmware, but there is an active community of users out there applying updates. Running Cyanogenmod with Android 4.2 (Jellybean). It has enough grunt to run many of the latest 3D games. Inexpensive, good battery life, great screen, nice design, HDMI out, External SD support Lack of updates
Value for money but – Was attracted to this due to the price, IPS screen and 16GB internal memory. After playing with it a week, the camera stopped working, battery wouldn't recharge (meter was stuck) and Skype doesn't work. But being a bit nerdy, fixed the machine and upgraded it from sandwich to jellybean. It now works a treat, the screen is gorgeous. It's a great media player (I have a 32Gb SD card), web browser, email client and gaming machine. Typing is a bit tricky due to the 7" screen, when the keyboard appears, it takes up 2/3 of the screen.
Love my Aurora II Great screen, 16GB RAM, cheap Don't buy unless you're a bit of techie, you'll need to upgrade to jellybean

LOL a bit of a misunderstanding by the mods here, para 2 should read you need to create root access to the android machine (not just fixed the machine). Please refer to external link :)
