The link makes it seem like crap hardware, and sure 4gb of ram is really crappy. But how does this compare with one of my kid’s Fire tablets? Does anyone have opinions on that?

    I don’t think you can get a good quality Android tablet with more than 4gb for $150 either so it’s an actually interesting deal for some people.

      That’s what I thought. It has no android lock to Google, I assume root access, so it’s basically really yours?

          Yeah, but just the fact that you are unlocking something means to me that at the very bottom of your software stack there’s a little switch that if you can’t unlock it, your entire computer is locked out to you. The owner should have full access to the entire computing device. I’m fine if the tablet boots to a fail safe interface. That’s good Linux practice. But don’t permanently eliminate root.
