Hi guys, I found this tablet PC from China, and I have a few questions.

I basically only have 3 concerns with this, the screen, the processor speed and the battery life.

Is it possible that they can use a really bad quality screen so that even if this tablet had a tegra 3 quad it would still be super slow because the capacitive screen sensitivity is so bad?

They apparently use a RK2918 ARM Cortex A8 which is a 1.2Ghz dual core and includes a GPU as well (I think it

OK with cheap tablets from China, sold by Chinese wholesalers, your three concerns really should be.

1) That it's not going to be DOA.
2) That it's not going to become bricked, due to buggy or faulty software.
3) That the wifi is not going to crap out, or give you other problems.

They apparently use a RK2918 ARM Cortex A8 which is a 1.2Ghz dual core and includes a GPU as well (I think it’s a Mali). I’m a PC gaming enthusiast, and from my experience with bad processor architecture (like bulldozer ahem ahem) can severely impact a processors speed even though its clocked high. For example, an i5-2500k at 3.7Ghz will probably beat an FX-8125 at 4.3Ghz because of architecture. Will it be the same here? A lower clocked Tegra will beat this RK2918?

Lastly, the battery, it says they include an 8000mAh battery, which is sketchy, I mean doesn’t the iPad have like a 5000 something and the Nexus 7 have a 4000?

I’m not going to be using this tablet for much gaming, maybe at most temple run and/or bejeweled, mostly for word processing, movies, and internet

In a nutshell, my friend bought a super bad china tablet that was resistive touch and 7” and it was so bad you tapped and waited 2 seconds before anything happened. I don’t want my experience to turn out the same way. Can a bad quality capacitive touch coupled with bad architecture in a CPU give me laggy use? I’m not worried about software because I’ll just install JB when it comes out if the ICS proves unuseable.

You'll probably only be able to install Jelly bean on it, if the manufacturer provides the appropriate upgrade software. AFAICT the manufacturer, Yuandao doesn't seem to provide much of anything on their website.

so the screen quality is going to be OK and its the return and the brick that I should be worried about?
