The blot on this landscape is that the panel itself is
only capable of a 1280x720 HD resolution. In general
use this isn’t a big deal, and to be fair we found the
display to be very pleasant, but if you want to use the

representation is perfectly acceptable on a device of
this type. The lower amount of pixels to push should
also grant a boost to battery life and performance
over higher specified rivals at this price point.

to do anything that requires heavy lifting – graphically
demanding 3D gaming for instance – without a
