Thanks Raven. I just saw your post today, but was checking out the Amazon apps last night along with reviews and # of downloads after doing a search on "free apps". I'm still on the fence with this Nextbook. What I like is the 8" portable size and it's easy to use. What I don't like is not being able to get a wifi connection anywhere I've been so far (I live in a very populated area). Two (inside) places I tried to get wifi had secured internet in which the people didn't know their password. I couldn't even pick it up at 2 busy shopping center parking lots. Wasn't too happy about that as I don't expect to have to hunt down a Mickey D's or Starbucks to get wifi. The reviews on HSN haven't been too favorable on this tab as buyers can't get Netflix or the Android market; neither of which bothers me any. Reviews aren't shown on HSN any longer since the unit is sold out. The battery life, especially browsing, isn't good and that's something that's important to me. So, I'll be testing it out for a few more weeks. I really want it to work for me since I do like most things about this tablet. I was tempted to get an IPad, but prefer the 7-8" smaller tabs, and I can do without the monthly data plan along with the ridiculous price tag.

I got my 22yr old son this tablet over the summer and my friend has a different nextbook and she also has an eviant tablet made by nextbook. I was considering one but after playing with them they are ok but not for me. I find them a little sluggish and I had a hard time typing on my friends as the response time when I typed was lagging but maybe I am just use to my kindle fire and smart phone because they don't lag when I type. The one you are looking at they had it in store when I got my sons so check as you may be able to play with it. My son is low maintenance so he loves the tablet. The first nextbook my friend got does not have the google play store but uses slideme to get apps but her eviant one has the google play store which I find better. I will say my friends first nextbook suddenly died a month after 1yr and she didn't have an extended warranty and nextbook replaced it with a new one and customer service was easy to reach and very helpful. Nextbook has a nice website to check out all the tablets and their specs. For me I decided to wait as I want a 10inch tablet and I didn't care for the screen resolution on this tablet compared to my kindle fire or the Samsung tablets I have been looking at so I am going to spend more money for something better as I use my tablet a lot for photos and I watch a lot of HBO, Netflix and live TV on my kindle fire so that is why I want better screen resolution. I think for a basic tablet this is good and the price is great. That's my experience with them. Oh I don't believe this tablet has Bluetooth which was another drawback for me as I want to transfer files from my phone to tablet via Bluetooth but my son doesn't care about that. My son found a nice basic case made specifically for this tablet on amazon and my friend ordered a genric case with a keyboard from one of the shopping sites like shop NBC or some such and it works nice but still lagging to me when you type.

Has anyone had any experience with this furniture store? If you have any opinions please express them.

Ravencajun, I would like some advice if you don't mind. My sister needs to replace her old desktop computer. She is thinking she would like a laptop. She needs something basic and simple. Her vision is very poor and her hands are very crippled. All she needs or wants to do is email, facebook, her online banking and some shopping. Would you have any comments or suggestions of what I should think about and look for? We would appreciate any help.
