There’s definitely space in the market for low-budget tablets; they’re ideal as a secondary device, or as a tablet to keep the kids busy with educational apps, media and games while you reserve something decent for yourself. Unfortunately, the B1-720 still doesn’t make the grade. It’s too slow, its battery life is a problem and the screen simply isn’t good enough.

For the money the Iconia B1-720 is a viable option, the budget tablet market is a fierce one and there are many tablets to chose from. The Iconia doesn’t have the best spec or build quality but the B range aren’t about that, they’re about offering something for the whole family at a reasonable price.
