I'd love to know why other tablets cost many times more than this. A little more for bigger battery or more storage I understand, but $249-499? C'mon. That's crazy.
Storage and battery would actually be the cheaper components. This tablet has a low-res screen, almost certainly junky cameras, and inferior build quality to the name-brand ones. Yes, you are paying a bit for marketing etc. for the name-brands, but an $88 tablet is clearly compromising somewhere in the construction.
There are many reasons why this tablet is so cheap but the real clue lies at the very bottom of the product page.
"customers may send the unit back to our Hong Kong office. We will help forwarding the item to the manufacturer for repair, and will look after the progress. The customer will need to cover shipping fees both ways."
Consider this $90 you will never get back. Personally I bought a generic Chinese tablet about a year ago, it worked well for a few months then the screen completely died, hdmi out still works so the tablets not totally useless but still. These tablets are certainly a gamble with bad odds, but it is possible to find a diamond in the rough. I've gotten other gadgets from cheap sources that worked out great.
