What is your opinion about this?

My mother has been following special actions and promotions about tablets on an online shop that's only accessible for employees. She likes the idea of a tablet for browsing the Internet and Facebook. I don't think that she will use it for anything else. My parents share laptop and a tablet is a good solution for when both want to go on the Internet.

Although she wants a tablet, she doesn't want to pay much. Now there's a 7 inch tablet on sale from 100 euros to 65 euros, I know it's really cheap.

What do you think about the specs and will it suit her needs?

Should do just fine for that, Pandora, and a few other random tasks. Its not super fancy, but its got nearly as much power as my old Acer a500 did.

I still have my acer iconic a500 and in my opinion it's still great

Is the resolution acceptable for a 7 inch? And what about the battery?

I can't speak on the battery, but I can say this- working at Office Depot, I saw a few 480x800 tablets. They aren't great, but at 7", they aren't bad, either. It should be sufficient, but not much more than that.

I wish I had not given my Iconia to a friend when I got my Nexus 10. It would be a great workhorse tablet, or a great one to test development on.
