Nextbook Next5

“Android tablets that have both pen and finger input are rare, which is why EFun's Next5 tablet--and its $299 price--were initially intriguing. However, this slate's sluggish performance, woefully inaccurate touchscreen, and cheap design make it a poor option for users looking for a versatile 7-inch tablet. If you absolutely must have a tablet with pen input, save up for the EVO View 4G or the HTC Flyer. But buying the EFun Next5 would be like throwing your money away.”

“In the end, I consider it a minor miracle that I didn't end up throwing the Next5 across the room in pure frustration when I found myself grappling with the touchscreen's lousy performance. My final verdict: if you don't mind using a stylus to navigate your Android device or you have particularly long fingernails, you might enjoy this creation. But if you're expecting it to perform at least something like the other more expensive tablets you've seen, guess again.”
