Other than that It's an excellent tablet and the Wifi, in my situation, is a minor issue. It has an excellent screen.Barry
My Lenovo tablet (an A10-70) has been rock solid no problems at all. I liked it so much when my wife decided she wanted an 8 inch tablet, I got her a Lenovo. To be honest, my experience with these two tablets, and my desktop has made me feel better about the Motorola purchase!

Well, technically, they don't explode, the top merely separates from the base. I assume it is a vibration issue. I used to sell major appliances at a Woolco back in the 1970's when I was in college. The cheapest washing machines had cement building blocks bolted into the body of the washer to act as a dampening device.

Some people chose to save the $10 set up and delivery fee and do that themselves, I don't know how many users actually removed those cement blocks (after we WARNED them!) and then called us when the washing machine either fell on its side or walked across their laundry room when they turned it on!

This probably has nothing to do with those high end Samsung washing machines, but you can't underestimate the sheer lunacy of a consumer too proud to listen to the sales person.
