I recently bought an HP Stream 7 tablet (Windows 8.1) for $99 at Office Max. For that price I thought why not. I was surprised at how well it worked. IMO every bit as good as my Nexus 7 at two times the price or my wife's iPad Mini at 4 times the price. However the Windows desktop is a just a bit touchy with the tiny icons on a 7" screen but still quite usable. My biggest complaint is its 4 to 5 hour battery life. You are complaining about 4-5 hours of battery life for continuous use? You use it for that long w/o a break? |

No, but it would be nice to leave it off the charger for a week or more like I can my 10+ hour tablets. Still overall I'm quite happy with it for the $99 price tag. If the worst nit I can find is its battery life than you know it can't be all that bad... |

Well, my Kindle Fire "provides up to 8 hours of continuous reading or 7.5 hours of video playback, with wireless off." I have no idea if that is the case because I mostly play games on it. I can play 2 straight hours of games and I have about 50% left. I just plug in the charger while I'm not using it. |
