(shockingly low price....I wonder what the catch is..)

I saw many discussion in chinese at baidu N12 tieba
Ô*µÀn12°É_Ìù°É

Other than poor customer service from seller, I saw comments there mentioned poor quality LCD screen and poor WIFI signal/connectivity.
Question: I wonder if anyone here have used or try this before?

The English name is Window and in Chinese Yuandao, which i think sound sounds much better.

Manufacturers product page:
http://www.window88.com/chinese/pro_...me=Tablet%20PC

Window N12 is 599 RMB
Window N11 is 499 RMB



The sold quantity number is fake, Taobao use these fake features for marketing.

These are low-end models, but not bad for this price.

Ignoring potential product quality and customer service issues........

I google for Window N12, I see there is a wide range of price for this tablet...
Lowest at US$129 and the highest at US$200. The range difference between the lowest to the highest price is unbelievable.

RMB599 = US$94
The lowest price seems quite close to China retail price + overseas shipping charge.

Found a chinese review on it: ¶àµã´¥¿ØÍêÃÀÌåÑé Ô*µÀN12ÍêÈ«ÆÀ²â_Ô*µÀ N12£¨8GB£©_MP3ÆÀ²â-ÖйشåÔÚÏß

Here are the important bits



Quadrant benchmark score = 1171
(cpu performance seems average or comparable to to Cortex A8 based devices)




5 point multi-touch






Definitely LCD quality is not good but at this price......

Battery life: ~4.5hr (manufacturer claim 7hr battery life using 4500mAh battery)
WIFI ON, LCD brightness set to maximum spend two hours browsing and watching online video, then spend another 2hr 15min play games before battery is dead.

Wow, great thanks for all that info.
As said, cheap price = cheap quality.

But still RK2918 give you enough power to play most games and watch video online.

Btw, i will move this thread to our Window forum.
