If I were to buy a new tablet today I would likely buy a kindle fire tablet HD 6 or 7. The difference is about 40 dollars and 6" vs 7" screen, if you start at 8GB.
I currently own a kindle fire [not HD].
I love it. I love that I can store a bazillion things in the amazon cloud and save progress on games or books, take them off my device, reload them back on the device. The reason this is useful is that my current Kindle Fire is 8GB and there is no SD.
There are clear price differences between the tablet you are looking at and the Kindle Fires I suggest.
Amazon's customer service is amazing, though. Even that by itself is one reason I suggest the kindle fires. If something happens to your device they provide amazing customer service and will likely help you get it replaced for almost nothing or even nothing.
I've experienced this with two different kindle models- the kindle fire and the kindle keyboard. [but don't try to abuse it] Also, the kindle itself is in my opinion extremely durable.
I'm pretty clumsy and I've dropped even the SECOND ONE several times. Down the stairs, on the side walk, on the tile floor. Actually- I'm embarrassed but there are two large cracks in my screen and it has affected nothing at all about performance- touch response, visual on the screen, nothing.
It holds a charge for forever when not in use and it does hold a charge for pretty long even when in use, so I would trust that the newer models do actually live up to the battery lives.
If you use any streaming services- hulu, netflix, or amazon, you can get apps and stream all of those. The android market [google play] is not automatically set up to download onto the kindle fire, so that is one thing to note.
The reason being, I believe, that google and amazon are in such competition [someone can correct me if that is not the issue]. However, there are ways around that and now it is much easier to do that so getting android apps that are not offered by amazon is easier and possible, where as before that was a large criticism.
Obviously, I'm a fan.
It's not for everyone though. If you are looking for something like windows, this is not going to be the tablet for you. If you go to amazon.com and search for their kindle fire models you will find a lot of info on all of them.
