The resolution of the screen is utter rubbish and will involve loads of scrolling around most websites. You don't mention the cost. I'd rather have a 2012 Nexus 7 for around £100.

I bought a 7" tablet from a Chinese trader at a market in the US for $40 it looks very similar to this Medion. I chatted to the guy and he could get them in bulk for $10 each!

It's £79.99 in Aldi, and comes with a 3 year warranty. There's a £5 off voucher in one of today's papers (Mirror?). Actually the resolution is much better than my Asus Eee netbook.
OP if you want to view Flash videos, then you'll have difficulty with Jellybean.

Dolphin browser is your friend.

Kernal Sanders - the resolution is 1024x600 - I haven't heard of a netbook having a lower resolution than that - what's yours?
Flash isn't supported in any mobile OS anymore, but you can get the old version on with some cleverness, then use either Dolphin browser as above or Firefox. I don't think that tablet will be able to run much useful Flash content, it can bring down much more powerful devices.

The same, but as the screen is roughly twice the size, the pixel density of the tablet is going to be double.

Medion are not known for their quality products. I'd avoid and spend a little more for a better product.

Strange I have a 7 year old Medion computer and had two before this one.
Only changed to upgrade, Medion seems pretty good to me.

I have a nine year old Medion PC, bought from Aldi which is still going strong so can't say I agree with that.
