This review is from: A1CS FUSION5 9.1″ ECONOMY+ TABLET PC – CAPACITIVE 5-POINT 9.1-inch DISPLAY SCREEN – ANDROID 4.0 ICS – 16:9 SCREEN RESOLUTION – SLIMMEST VERSION CHEAPEST TABLET PC – PROMOTIONAL PRICE
This little tablet is, for the price,simply amazing! I’m not a computer whizz, far from it. but I was able to set it up easily, get on the internet, download apps etc etc. in no time at all. So far I’ve not been very successful with the camera, but hey who cares? I have a camera + one on my phone anyway. This small slimline tablet does everything I want it to do and more. I’ve put in a 32G microSD card, so masses of space now. There are hundreds of apps that you can download easily and quickly covering most things you can think of. So far I have downloaded facebook, ebay, iplayer, netflix, itunes, note book, diary, kindle & several games + there were aleady some apps & widgets loaded when I received it and it was delivered in superfast time. Because of the low price, I was a little nervous about ordering it but I am so please that I did. It’s of good quality. The screen is plenty big enough yet the tablet is small enough to fit in my handbag – and I don’t carry one of these huge handbags either!! Can’t say enough about it. Brilliant!

This review is from: A1CS FUSION5 9.1″ ECONOMY+ TABLET PC – CAPACITIVE 5-POINT 9.1-inch DISPLAY SCREEN – ANDROID 4.0 ICS – 16:9 SCREEN RESOLUTION – SLIMMEST VERSION CHEAPEST TABLET PC – PROMOTIONAL PRICE
Brought this tablet for my kids to use they love it, 2 boys who are 11 and 8 and for the price. I am suitably impressed with it, seems robust enough to last (for awhile at least) and it does what they need it to do and if the worst happens its not super expensive.
I have decided to break down some of the individual points of this tablet as all tablets for the most part are featureless on the outside, I have it in front of me as I type and have been playing with it a few days now and have it fully loaded so hopefully this will be accurate for the most part.
Build quality….surprisingly pretty good, easy to hold with a white back, corners are rounded and it doesn’t feel cheap when holding, a good size for videos and games. Feels like it could survive a small fall please don’t ask me to test 🙂 one power button, a backup button and vol control (which feels when holding like vol up should be vol down and visa-versa, could be subjective)
O.S… ICS (rooted this version) has practically nothing on, and has taken some time to load and configure but I much prefer, as you put on the things YOU want rather then bloatware that you cannot remove, startup splash screen nice and clean.
Usability….out of the box it’s a little laggy to swipe across screens as at 1Ghz it feels a little underpowered, however this can be remedied, as rooted access gives you potential control of the CPU easy to do using two apps both free, this tablet has been running flawlessly now at 1.2Ghz for days.
Screen….native resolution is 800*480 plastic touchscreen 5 point capacitive, pretty good not quite as responsive as my SGS3, but not bad.
Sound….. Not terrible and reasonably loud but you would need headphones if you were using as a music player I think, came with some have not tried them, speakers on the back, no problem when held, but if placed on a table needs something small underneath as a prop to make a small gap or it sounds muffled, not a big deal.
I now have a 32gb samsung class 10 microsd installed, all good works fine and was able to test music properly and its better than i thought loud and clear.
Graphics/ video/pictures …..Considering this is a budget tablet it’s fair to say i am impressed with what it could manage, im pretty sure it has a dedicated GPU built into the CPU, full screen videos play properly and games run well, this and battery life are the two things that this tablet does best i think.
Wi-fi…..no problems at all easy to connect, simple to reconnect stays connected good range.
Battery……another place where this seems to do well, fully charged lasts a min of 4-5 hours, even using it all the time with screen on and wi-fi on. Some times when it’s on 35-40 percent will jump down to 20, but I think it’s this version of ICS and not the actual battery or tablet, as it has been consistent with charge and discharge rates. Takes ages to charge I leave it charging and on standby at night, can be used when plugged in although then it’s super slow charging.
Camera…. No rear camera and front cameras ok for skype I guess? It’s not a great quality one; however I didn’t require any cameras at all so fine for me.
CPU……… it’s a cortex arm 7 not arm 8 running (out of the box) at 1 GHz not including the GPU.
Tested Apps which work 100 percent… …..youtube (works fantastic HQ vids play fullscreen flawlessly) BBC iplayer, sky+ (the guide record app), google earth, google translator, google chrome (you WILL want to change the browser that comes with it) AVG antivirus, eBay, Amazon, skype my other 16 year old son tells me it works ok, including the front camera, and 19 free games and various other apps and tools at the min.
(However I don’t use skype and some have reported issues with “jerky” camera movement when using skype.)
Delivery service from….A1CS was superfast next day so no waiting for Hong Kong delivery times which I was worried about, seems to be where a lot of tablets are delivered from.
Advice…. I did have a small problem getting BBC iplayer to work until I downloaded MX player and the arm 7 codec (all free on play store) after I did though it was perfect, I assume it uses the codec. Also at this time it’s not possible to install SkyGo onto as it’s a rooted version of ICS (small price to pay for having root access and it’s the only app that ive found that has this problem.)
Updates: The newest Netflix App also does not seem to work on this tablet for whatever reason. However there is a fix for this apparently which is posted in the discussions (all and any thanks go to Elephant for finding this!) Also you do not need to install MX player and codec for BBCIplayer to work (I was wrong about this, although both MX player and codec are worth installing anyway) but you DO need to install BBC media player for Iplayer to…

Ordered on the 26th Oct and it arrived 30th….already impressed!!! It came well boxed and on opening it was even more impressed by the look of it, very sleek. A charger, 2 types of usb cables and instruction leaflet were included. Within 5 mins I was surfing the internet, downloading apps and had minnie mouse set as the desktop pic (it’s for my grandaughter for christmas.) I have an android phone so am familiar with the layout but even if you’re not it won’t take long to get used to it. The quality of the display and the sound are amazing for the price, I paid £349 for my own Acer Iconia tablet pc but this little gadget would have been adequate for my needs!!! Display not just as sharp but for the price you can’t beat it. I must also compliment the company A1CS….I emailed them about accessories and they replied promptly and were very helpful. If they keep up this standard of customer service they will keep and gain a lot of customers!!! Can’t wait to see my little grandaughter’s face when she opens it on Christmas morning…. I think I will have one very happy little girl!!!
I don’t want to tell people what to do but if you’re a gadget geek please don’t order it and complain about the quality of the product. It’s a great wee device for the money you are paying 🙂 🙂 🙂
