In the comments on the Android Central site, at least one user mentioned that for the everyday shopper at Tesco this tablet is more than enough. She doesn't need a tablet with the latest, fastest processor, a screen with the highest pixel density, the latest OS version or even the absolute battery life. I have to agree with the person who made that comment. Most people don't care about that stuff. That's why my mom bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Yeah, there were tablets with better specs but that particular tablet was on sale, cheaper than all the other high spec tablets at the time and did everything she wanted (which included playing simple games, browsing the web and watching some Netflix movies).
Tesco seems to be a pretty big chain supermarket with a large customer base. I'm sure most of the customers aren't going on sites like MR, CNET or ZDNet to find out which tablet is the absolute greatest (for the time being). They just want a tablet that works, doesn't look or feel cheap (they may not even care about that!), and doesn't cost too much.
I'm not saying this tablet will set the world on fire but I imagine it will generate some good sales for the company and also get consumers to buy other items (such as movies from their online store). Plus, the specs aren't bad, especially for the price. I say this as someone who owns a Nexus 7.
