How things are with a Boyue rather depends upon your experience with Android devices and your expectations. I bought an Alita and the first worry was the order via Ali-Express which did go OK. As said the manual and support are really minimal plus the level of English isn't great. There's support on here but it hasn't been very friendly from the main contributor to Boyue threads. I got into a mess right from the start and spent a couple of weeks floundering with the Alita. Note taking seemed a brilliant idea but I soon got disenchanted with that. As for using it to surf the web its performance is a joke compared to an iPad. It cost me a lot of money so I use it pretty well exclusively for reading books. Updating the OS to 8.1 terrified me but I did it. Actually for my purposes it has made no appreciable difference as have the updates that are periodically available. If you love tinkering with such devices you are in for a treat but although using it regularly I would have preferred to have not bought it. My Kindle does a good job but is languishing on a shelf.
