Always had great service from Ebuyer personally. Paying for p&p is annoying though!

ebuyer is one of the most reputable online tech stores in the UK.

I actually "liked" your comment when I'd intended the one above yours ! Actually only bad thing about eBuyer is when they say "5 working days" if you're in the wrong side of the country Newcastle for example (even though eBuyer is in Yorkshire) "5 working days usually means two weeks -- you certainly get two weekends in your wait. Yet if you're in SOUTH of the country you get it in a couple of days. Thats why I stopped buying from them. The spite of their dispatch. No other explanation. I discussed it with others on their messageboard. (Since gone I believe - usually southerners praising because it WASN'T happening to them, and angry north easterners because they weren't getting an answer why ONLY them)
Tesco on the other hand is good for delivery and returns, clearly no north-east hating dispatchers !
That said, brand new v refurb is another matter. eBuyer might have got different dispatchers in the 5+ years since I bought from them !

I have one, going strong from new in 2014, paid 60£. Great tablet on a go. You can connect keyboard and mouse via micro usb. It's 5 star tablet for price.

Or you can pair it with a small Bluetooth keyboarder with trackpad (or add a mouse via an OTG cable) and it becomes a tiny laptop capable of using for Office or remote Citrix work.
Yes it's a little small, but I've done this with a 7" Windows tab and it's fine for relatively short periods.
Far more productive for me than an iPad mini and 7x cheaper.

I think it's worth the money, think mine was £50 when I bought it, had no problems, used it to hack my 3DS and sort my iTunes library out, didn't struggle with any of it

I've got one of these from the hukd deal about 2-3 years ago. It worked fine up until the W10 update which it constantly badgered me over.
I tried the update, didn't like it and it didn't work properly either. Tried to uninstall and the W10 update 'broke' it completely. Darn thing doesn't even switch on now. Completely useless.
Not voting even though I reckon it's a decent price but I wouldn't touch windows with a bargepole now. Sorry.

What's the difference between this one, and the £30 one?
8" vs 8.9" ? Difference CPU?
Not particularly up on crappy Windows tablet models.
:Edit: my bad, £30 has 0 stock. Stupid eBay suggesting it as an alternative....

stupid comments re. windows and ram... it's 40 quid! only thing i found annoying is no specific tablet case or keyboard case for it that has camera hole... just generic stuff.

Is a decent deal but I'd recommend asking about the charger interface before buying. If its using a USB interface you are laughing but it could be something proprietary.
Personally I don't use EBuyer because of the additional charge for N Ireland. Tends to turn a good deal into a no deal. This is even with the smallest of items which I presume they use Royal Mail for?

I'm looking for something to play tv series on my commute. This seems ideal because of the large internal storage but I've seen that battery life is reported as poor. Any thoughts from owners?

Mine arrived yesterday. It came with a power adapter/lead. It seems OK considering the low spec. I intend using it for watching movies and TV on the train and it seems fine for that. Iplayer works fine.

if anyone has bought one make sure to test it while charging. I bought one and had to return it for a faulty touch screen (while charging).
