It's Purple and 8" and no one has made any puerile jokes? What has happened to this place?

Seems too expensive for what it is. Android 4.4 is very much out of date, and 1GB of RAM is already quite annoying. In a year it will be obsolete.

No sim card slot?

I thought that way until I got a refurb Sony Xperia Z. It is just as old as the Toshiba (and it was only a bit more expensive initially), but it is soooooo much better, it is unbelievable. And as you said, most of that difference is down to poor software from Toshiba.

I am still happily using my Toshiba Excite Pro despite Toshiba being just about the worst manufacturer for not supporting their products or for that matter allowing the rooting of them.
It may be a little bulky by todays standards but even nearly 2.5 years after buying for £160 you would struggle to find a tablet as powerful with such a glorious screen resolution...and for my uses I am finding 4.3 still adequate.

using one right now, I got for 40 quid off Amazon warehouse last year. ok for browsing and general stuff but stuck on 4.4 and will never be updated past it. however it did just get a stagefright patch. boot loader is locked so no chance of 3rd party roms. other wise it works reasonably well screen is quite nice and with a big micro sd in is good for movies on the go.

Hi I have one of these and I quite like it I only play card games do a bit of surfing and youtube and its fine for those. My real complaint is that every time I turn it on it starts updating Asus software that I don't want and stupid things like the keyboard etc which is annoying as it slows it down whilst updating.

You need to go into your play store account and untick automatic updates. Then this will never happen.

Am I mistaken or is it lower spec than the frequently posted Kindle fire?

Bigger screen and better battery life. 8" screen is a far better size than 7 for some, myself included.

Any one know of Android 4.3 tablets, I love 4.3 with its App Ops function?

The Toshiba Excite Pro is stuck on 4.3, so if you can find it for a good price, it is a capable tablet.

P. S go for a flubit if you want one using amazon.co.uk

i was also seriously tempted by the 4gb ram version which was cheaper at amazon .fr and .de
ok, i'll recheck the reviews, and maybe use flubit for the first time ever.

Well since the reviews, it's had updates, I am finding the battery gives me around 7 hours or more OST, great tablet, no Android 6 yet though.

I had the newer version from argos the z370c zenpad, I had to send it back it was very very laggy even with basic surfing, in the end went with a flubit and grabbed a Asus Z580c for 150, although double the price, it's a completely different experience

24 Feb 16#10
how is the battery life on the z580? i was watching the price go up and down from 150 to 170 on currys/ebay, but very few shops stock it, and only 1 or 2 reviews, so undecided.

I sadly agree :disappointed: NOT about the 4.4.4 - I think 4.4.4 is really good and stable
However 1gb RAM does not cut it anymore, apps are constantly more RAM heavy and take so much size

Anyone know if it can be upgraded past 4.4, and if it's worthwhile doing that please?

these and the 7" version are VERY good, fast, and run pretty much anything! custom roms coming too

I had the memopad hd 7 and it was good for the price but quite laggy at times and couldn't really keep up with basic stuff without struggling. Good price but 2gb ram would have been a better idea than just 1.

Even cheaper if you buy it from the Ebay argos
