The browser experience has no short comings, touchscreen gestures make it easy to scroll/zoom to read text. The left stick acts as a Page Up and Page Down button.

@saponga I got mine from DragonBox. There's also Amazon, DinoDirect, GearBest, etc..

Those were under Window's performance actually.

I will still be doing that soon.. i'm just enjoying it the way it is right now before I do that. The things I have said about linux on this device is from another person's experience on it, not my own.

The SD card reader identifies as a generic one.

The screen might be generic as well, because it defaults to a portrait orientation when you first set it up. People have speculated that they were used on smartphones. Definitely not bad quality though.

Watch these to get an idea to get an idea about it's components.
