Actually as long as there is enough space on the C:\ drive of your PC for your page file (which is reserved anyway) and any writes to the ntuser.dat file in your profile windows will run just the same until it hits 0k free.
btw you are mistaking memory and storage on the tablet. The tablet has dedicated Ram that android uses for running programs and the operating system then another 8gb for storage (although android will use some of this for Swap) When you add an SD card all you are doing is adding extra storage space for the installation of programs, this space has nothing to do with how fast the device runs...once you've opened the program it is running in Ram.

Voted this hot how bad could it be for £30 granted you will need a 32gb card.

The kool kids will run away because of the name or a few specs which are outdated but for the price it's definitely worth it for a few downgraded specs , For example the 8gb storage isn't great but anybody with half a mind can figure that you can move most things straight onto sd card via pc or via files folders , THE OS is getting on abit but if you look in the playstore most apps are supported from either 2.3 or 4.1 upwards so it's unlikely you will be missing out on anything major other than a few added os features. The tablet though has some standout specs which sets apart from other budget options , HDMI output , Free Keyboard , A9 processor and the tablet is thin and easily portable which to me makes it a great value take anywhere option.
I'm tempted to upgrade from my crappy 512MB RAM tab, especially as this also has a HDMI - which is why I got the other one, but the stupid thing failed on any TV catchup apps.
Maybe so but what did the user expect? most tablets take forever to charge , The battery says 4000mah on this which is the average for a small tablet . Also , Did he /she just boot up without installing an SD Card? Again most tablets even quad cores are slow without the additional memory of an sd card , Most of the lesser known brands will not hold your hand the same as the kindles and asus of the world.

What do you mean? An SD card won't speed up the tablet, unless your critically low on storage

Somewhat bizarre comment, but each to their own.

These won't have the play store by default, but can be added. Also be aware storage space for apps is limited to 1GB and go over 700mb the device will begin to crawl....

how is it bizarre , It works just like any other computer , Add additional memory and the device will perform better , If you add a class 1 memory card it will work to optimum speed , why don't you try it and see. The device comes with amazon appstore as standard but play can be installed from the internet page , But hey again this isn't trying to be a groundbreaking device it's a cheaper option for people to use if you can work around some of the limitations.
