Argos MyTablet review - a budget 7in Android tablet from the high-street retailer Argos

he MyTablet’s dual-core processor certainly isn’t powerful, which coupled with its limited 1GB of RAM means multitasking suffers.
Webpages are slow to load. Scrolling lags badly. Watching video on services such as BBC iPlayer is an experience full of frustrating stutter on the tablet’s low-resolution display. (It probably wouldn't drive a standard, let alone high-definition, TV display.)
Argos rates the battery life at around five hours. My testing suggests that's an overestimate – I got around four hours of general use sending emails, browsing the web and watching 30 minutes of video.
The MyTablet comes with a proprietary small pin power adapter, but can also be charged via micro-USB – although the fit and finish of the micro USB port is (surprise!) loose and not quite flush with the edge of the device, making plugging in the cable difficult.

SPECS
  • Screen: 7in LCD with 1024 x 600 pixels
  • Processor: 1.6GHz dual-core processor
  • RAM: 1GB of RAM
  • Storage: 8GB plus microSD slot supporting up to 32GB cards
  • Operating system: Android 4.2.2
  • Camera: 2-megapixel rear camera, 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mini HDMI, micro USB
  • Dimensions: 193 x 111.5 x 9mm

My view on this tablet is that both argos and tesco have made the high quality technology that is a tablet into a joke, i believe that if someone wants to get a tablet you should save up and get something good, the words budget and tablet should not go together and if someone does decide to get one of these then they will soon realise that their tablet is becoming slow and laggy, and they lack in modern features.
