WESPRO PC TABLET 786

                At first glance, the Wespro 786 tablet will definitely impress you. It features a VIA WM8650 processor clocked at 850 MHz along with 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of internal storage. The display is a 7-inch resistive touchscreen sporting a resolution of 800x480. Other features include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a VGA camera. The tablet also sports the unique functionality of wired networking and USB host by plugging in the bundled dongle. Using the internet via the Ethernet port makes it easier if you do not own a wireless router. Additionally, the two USB host dongles are great for easily transferring, storing or accessing large files from a pen drive.
                 Though the Wespro 786 has a good feature-set and an awesome price, the product does have quite a few downsides. The touchscreen being resistive makes the user interface very sluggish. There is no USB port to allow you access to the tablet using a PC, hence no rooting and tweaking are possible, which means using apps which need Root privileges are impossible to use. Also, the app market featured here is not the standard Google Android Market app. It is a thirdparty market app, which is pre-installed by the manufacturer and allows you to browse the market with limited versions and choices of apps that are only compatible with the tablet. The overall build quality is also below average and the performance scores were almost unacceptable.
                  Judging the overall features, build, ergonomics and performance, this tablet is only recommended for those who want a super-cheap tablet and wouldn’t mind the issues that come along with it. The lowest price of this tablet is the
                 only reason it managed to bag the Best Value award.
Verdict: If budget is your main constraint, the Wespro 786 is the tablet for you.
For: Cheapest tablet available, Ethernet and USB host functions.
AGAINST: Sluggish UI, resistive touchscreen, below average build quality.
