I have one (from when CPW were selling them for £45 last year). Its very slow when using it as a browser I find. I use mine as an e-reader.

Pre-teens, yes.

My 13yo has one gathering dust.

Edit: Actually for Facebook/Angry Birds etc, I'm sure it's fine. Build quality etc again not too bad.

I don't know anything about this tablet but my daughter is after one for her very young one. My dgs is just 2 and plays on his mums ipad. Apparently lots of pre school apps.
Thinking perfect first cheap tablet, has anyone used this with very young kids.

For those who can afford the extra £20, there is a better Versus Touchpad 7V for £79.99 reduced to £75.99 under this deal.

Basically for the extra £20 you get:
1.6 Ghz dual core processer as opposed to the 1 Ghz single processor
16Gb storage as opposed to 8Gb storage
Android 4.1 as opposed to 4.0
Slightly lighter (although only 20g)

For only £20 extra this seems worth it, assuming you've got £20 extra.

Interesting article for anyone considering a "£50" tablet:

The actual model reviewed has similar build to the Versus, including the same CPU/chip.
