I 'm about to close a deal on a brand new no-name (best buy) tablet for 130$ on craigslist.

Specs are as follows.
Windows 8.1 , 10.1 display at 1280x800, micro usb 2.0 out , hdmi out, 2gb ddr3 ram, Intel Atom Baytrail quad core @ 1.3 (turbo @ 1.8?), Intel 4000 graphics?, 32 gb eMMc internal storage, and expandable up to 128gb SD external storage. Front and rear cameras ,headphone jack, bluetooth capable.

I'm fairly sure this is the tablet listed for 199$.

I'm gonna grab this keyboard that specifically goes with the tablet for another 50$.(hopefully I can find it cheaper)

For 184$ with the keyboard, seems like a good deal to me.

Here is the package deal for $250 on best but site.

I'm just worried that this no name tablet is junk, but so far the reviews seem good.

What do you guys think?

It's the same stuff as the ASUS one. I am guessing they changed the display to TN panel. (oops both are IPS, my bad)

CPU is Atom Z3735F. I only know about this stuff because someone asked about this chip the other day and I looked it up. It's probably comparable to Krait 300 in performance.

This is specifically made for best buy by an unknown supplier. Spec wise on paper it is great, I do not know about quality though of the product.

I was in best buy a few weeks ago and I did notice the tablet you are refering to on display where you can touch it and feel it. The keyboard felt alright but I did not know how well it will stick and such since it was bolted down. This is something that can be overcome though by asking for sales assistance I bet, either on the actual unit or a unit in the box just visit best buy on a week day.
