I realise that most tablets are produced in China. However there is a difference between say Apple, Samsung or Nexus and a non-brand name Chinese Tablet. The quality control is better and the polish of the firmware is usually better. I have been reading that the non-brand name stuff from some companies has come a long way in the last couple of years though and it seems it might be worth a try now. Mostly I'm concerned with how the firmware and OS runs on these non-brand name Chinese tablets. Is it smooth, responsive, not filled with bloatware, can the menus all be changed to English, how hard is it to root if need be, that sort of thing. Hopefully we have some adventurous MR members who have already taken the plunge and can give some impressions and experiences.

Regarding the screen, it's always hard to tell from youtube videos but the screen does look impressive. Same resolution and dpi as the iPad and the colours and brightness look to be very good. As for battery life, some reports do suggest the standby mode is not all that great but I would have no problem charging it every night if need be.
