I've wanted a 13" tablet for some time now to use exclusively as a music reader. I had bought 2 Hanspree 13" devices about 6 months ago and I returned both for problems. I was not only disappointed but I became pretty jaded about going the low-cost tablet route. I have been patiently waiting for all the brand-named 13.3" tablets that were supposed to be out early this year but have been losing patience! Plus I wasn't excited about dropping $500+ on a device that I'd really only use for MSPro. (I already have a 10" and an 8" tablet that I use a lot)
Well I got tired of waiting and I finally broke down and bought the Azpen 13.3" on Amazon for $140. While this is not a high-end tablet, I've been very pleased with it. Basically I'm using it for MobileSheets and little else. The screen resolution is all right but not spectacular (fine for the pdf's), the processor responds quickly, it connects to my BT Airturn pedal without any problems and it takes a 32G sd card. And I certainly can't complain about the price.
As a music reader it is fine and at a good price. But if you plan on using it for lots of other things you should be aware that the speakers aren't very good. The volume is very low altho it's fine with earphones plugged in. And the cameras are mediocre - but then who uses a 13" tablet to take pictures?
