I once got a tablet so cheap that I turned the brightness all the way down, it completely blackened the screen, and unless you were lucky enough to memorize where the brightness slider was in the pull down menu, the tablet was completely bricked.
Same

this made me laugh so hard
Or just shut it down and turn it back on, fixing the set brightness 😂

i lived off of a 80 dollar acer tablet for a lotta my childhood, i just found it in the closet covered in dust while packing up for college, and the last photo taken on its shitty 1mp camera was my first iphone :) ... after about 4 minutes of loading
while these tablets are hillariously dogshit, even the nuggiest of nuggets can hold a special place in our hearts❤️
True!! I had a massive Acer. It was $130 at the time and it was sick.
Yeah I had one of those $80-$120 Acer Windows 8 tablets and played emulators on the bus to school, shit was sick!
The idea of that is pretty heartwarming. I had a similar run with an eMachines desktop that was just totally junk. I used it for about 7 years and for 4 of those years it was my only computer. I'd play PC games on it and I'd have to edit the .ini files to get the games to run below the lowest settings. I played some 50 hours of Morrowind at ~20 fps on the thing. Minecraft at 10fps was the daily too. It's siting beside me now and I just can't get rid of it. Even though it was junk I'm so attached to that machine and the memories I made on it. I have a Series X for games now aha.
you guys are lucky having windows on your old acers! mine could barely run android 5 lmaoo
True I had that Google nexus tablet that was incredibly slow but it was still my first tablet and will hold a special place in my heart, idk where Tf the tablet is but I have it’s case

The cheap tablet/laptop market is fascinating. There is some good stuff, but it's mostly slapping modern way too bloated OS's on essentially 15 year old hardware. You're going to have a bad time almost no matter what.
Especially on dual core NuggTab
i would have a story about slapping arch on a 2015 chromebook to see how it runs without insane bloat but the fucker has a read only boot drive that gets really mad and doesn't let you boot if it's not the og chrome os and it didn't accept my restoration chromeos stick so it's a brick now lol

The low tier of modern tablets can be a fun hole to dive in. Keep it up, crazy nugget mate!!!
I never really understood tablets that much when everyone has a (usually at least decent) smartphone these days. For example, my Sony Xperia 1 II is less than half the size of this tablet and would absolutely run this tablet over, and then switch into reverse and run it over again both features and performance wise. But you know what, maybe that's not fair and the equivalent of the school giga-chad beating up the school idiot, so let's compare it to the phone I had... over 6 years ago... The Samsung Galaxy S5. And this tablet STILL gets murdered. lol
These tablets are good for giving to kids to use, so if they break them it's not a big deal

i used to have tablets identical to this from ages 9-13ish. it was so embarrassing being in middle school and having to whip out one of these bad boys when all of my peers had nice iphones. i would need to get them replaced every few months because theyd randomly take a shit and stop working. one time, when i went to get a new one with my mom at walmart, i found out how dirt cheap they were. i was insulted that she wouldnt just buy me a good tablet that would maybe even work to this day.
also, the laptop i currently have is basically one of these tablets but glorified. my mom would always rather cheap out on a piece of garbage that quite literally cannot function than get something that works a little bit.
Lol your mom is awful. How much were the cheapest tablets she got. Lol MONTHS?? AND THEY TOOK A SHIT LOLOLOL
funny thing is a more expensive one would have been cheaper in the long run
You should get used electronics. For laptops I recommend getting a used ThinkPad or a Dell Latitude from couple of years ago. Those things were build like tanks, and are dirt cheap on the used market.
@@DacLMK my primary school had a shitton of ThinkPads. I mean if they can survive anyone less than 10 years of age, they've gotta be built like crazy.
I had a cheap tablet back in 2016
At first it was great. From battery backup to performance it was amazing. Then it slowly become unusable. Where sometime you could charge it fully within 2-3 minutes and it would last for 2-3 miniute. It also had other problem but oneday while trying to insert a sim card it broke or scratch something important. Then we couldn't repair it. It was very precious to me, I played a lot of games at that, I had a lot of memories. But sadly it passed away (broke). This video reminds me of that tablet.Thanks

This reminds me of my old ipad, it cant charge or turn on anymore. I had so much memories on that :(
Personally, I have one very specific usecase for cheap Android tablets:
I use two of them as stationary control panels for my smarthome. One on the ground floor for controlling stuff in the livingroom and kitchen, and one upstairs to control stuff in the bedroom and office.
I threw Android on an old Kindle Fire specifically to do something similar, it's now essentially a streamdeck.
Home Assistant...?
I would use this cheap thing as a secondary monitor for monitoring temps and stuff on my computer Lol.
@@SonicAlpha how do you throw an OS on something
Businesses too. If your business concept requires having customers use a tablet for ordering or anything else you probably don't want anything fancy.
I love that every single Dankpods starts with about three seconds of silence where I get to question whether or not my AirPods stopped working for some reason
The biggest disappointment with the parody videos is that they don't do this.
I once thought my volume was turned down, so I cranked it up, resulting in Dank's voice blasting out of my shitty phone speakers, obliterating my eardrums and waking up the whole neighbourhood.

I think the sad thing is. This type of thing is a lot of peoples (Particularly older peoples) first experience with a tablet, leading to frustration and general lack of interest or desire to learn. Thinking that “modern” technology is frustrating and useless my grandad had a “Hudl” a table made for Tescos (supermarket chain) in the Uk and it was his only computing device for years until I got him an IPad and his world has changed with a competent tablet
Oh god I remember those tesco tablets. They were marketed towards the old generation and you're 100% right just led to lots of frustration..
I’m in a very poor family and this was my first device. It fucking sucked now that I remember.
Older people really need to stick to Apple products, they don’t do too well with Android from my experience
Yeah but, this kind of technology doesn't particularly benefit older people's lives much at all. It's not like a life or death situation to them like it would be to younger generations. The main thing my grandparents use their smart phones for is WhatsApp for god sake 🤣
I had the same thing. Bought a cheap car that had 6 previous owners and IT didn't perform. Bought a Ferrari later and its much faster!

Ended up giving the stupid thing to my cat to play a game where a mouse runs around on the screen for the cat to paw at, because that's all it was good for. He loved that tablet.

Was it the RCA Viking Pro exclusive to Walmart by any chance? The RCA logo itself shows for 40 seconds, the Viking Pro loading screen takes several (9?) minutes, and the keyboard it attaches to doesn't always register. Mono sound from a 2W speaker.
...but hey, it has a USB A port for flash drives and a mini HDMI output, something I haven't seen on many tablets at all. Manufacturers have been racing to get consumer electronics to be wafer thin.
LMAO
I remember buying a $40 tablet from Walmart for my younger brother, it was plasticy as hell but it ran a pretty new version of Android, and it was relatively alright for its price (ran RUclips and some games fine), its about $50 now (they replaced the microUSB with a USB-C plug)

I used to work at a Goodwill, sorting out and wiping smart devices. I saw so many tablets clearly just designed to put bullet points on a box, most of which ended up getting recycled. Nobody wanted them when they were new, let alone secondhand.
The fact that powering this piece of junk on ONLY took twenty-some seconds puts it leagues above most of the tablets I saw, which generally would take upwards of 1-2 minutes to get into Android. Quite a few of those were from LASER.
You've got a high-tier low-tier tablet here!

As a tech nerd, I'm obligated to point out that the apple device most likely has an IPS panel for it's display, meaning it has higher color accuracy and can be viewed from almost any angle without distortion at the cost of money and response time. The cheaper tablet probably has a TN Panel, which is much cheaper than IPS and has lower response time, but distorts unless viewed head on.
you mean lower response time?

If you wanna know the reason (or at least part of the reason) that it takes so long to install such a tiny update, every version of Android Go, to my knowledge, demands 2 gigs of ram. It's probably using the disk as ram

Newer versions of FireOS still allows you to install Google Play services and etc (I would recommend microG instead due to Gapps bogging down the system a lot), I have one and it's a really nice content consumption device on the bed, especially with how great those speakers are, definitely worth the 50 EUR i paid for them in mid 2021.

Coming back to this after looking for a tablet recently, I had tried buying a Walmart branded (Onn) 7 inch tablet, it was on sale on Black Friday for just $30, so I figured why the heck not, can always return it. Can't say I was very surprised when it ran like a pile of crap and took forever to do anything, about on the same level as this. So I return it, and go for something by a proper name, a Lenovo M10 Plus tablet. Being the folks that made my first self-owned laptop, I figured it word run way better, cause I really only needed a tablet for drawing, that's it. Well, somehow it ran just as bad, IF NOT WORSE that that Walmart tablet. This tablet came out in 2022. So now I believe any sort of Android tablets are just going to run like hot garbage lel.

Just avoid that brand - if you were to pull one apart , the parts inside would rust. Better to grab something of known quality a few years old. Seems they used old hardware and flash the most basic android os they found and called it New.
The box bullet points makes me feel like they’ve been selling this since like 2009
Maybe it is a 2009 tablet with just a modern OS, which sucks out all the RAM and ressources
Nah, too much RAM for a 2009 tablet. My old phone from 2013 was slimemr than that. And 2009 was still the time of the netbooks, before they got replaced by tablets.

The RUclips videos that were less concerned with visuals, I would put them at 144p, and the ones that needed visuals, I would put 360p. I would wait until it loaded. Each search would take a minute or half. I didn’t get frustrated because I was used to it.

having tablet during 2010 is a luxury experience to have
I’ve always wondered why, in the super cheap tablet market, do they bother including a camera? They’re always such crap that they aren’t even usable. If they didn’t bother, they could use the cost savings from not including the camera and microphone to add just a bit more ram or a 10 year old processor instead of a 15 year old one.
cheap cameras are pennies, and the people who buy these tablets would rather have more feature than spend $5 more on something that actually works so... Economics???!?
Certainly they are crap, however you have to consider that many times that toy camera is a lifesaver. especially for those elementary and middle school homework
-At least speaking from my case [in 2012-2013]. In Mexico, the transition to digital things was relatively slow (I'm not lying when I tell you that 90% of our stores and banks were running Windows XP and
IBM tinkcenters from the 80s-90s), and even continued to sell CRT televisions [despite the fact that the analog TV blackout was scheduled for 2013].
Digital cameras in Mexico were a rare product. not only because hardly anyone had one. [they were expensive, delicate and difficult to repair, etc. unless you were a photographer or a teenager with a lot of money and wanted to take emo photos for Hi-5 or +18 amateur content with a compact Cybershot it was rare to see one] all families had film cameras, or camcorders (which those were a success, motivated more than anything by the idea of recording children dancing or acting at school festivals since our educational program celebrates holidays like this)
[even webcams were a premium item,
partly because at that time internet access in mexico at a domestic level on average did not exceed 2-5 mbps via ADSL], so making video calls was like "huh if that exists" *and you were even screwed because you could have a webcam but Obtaining microphones was almost impossible, nobody sold them, they were expensive and nobody knew how to put them in a dinosaur PC*[there were those who would have 10-20 megs but they were very wealthy.
or really hardcore gamers who cushioned the investment, and some Internet cafes with 50-100 megabytes].
-Together with this, phone calls in Mexico are stupidly cheap, even free, so PCs only existed for Facebook, flash games, P*rn, RUclips. [and email] -MSN Messenger at his time.
Cell phones were more or less like that, whoever owned a blackberry was a top businessman, or already a lot of luxury, a Samsung galaxy. from there everyone used the classic buttons. So there were some cameras but (for some reason) those phones were never sold with PC cable or you could only get through via bluethooth [and PC's dont have it].

35mm film is becoming more and more rare to find and many children don't know how to use it anymore so for many years those cheap tablets and phones with shitty cameras were the standard and the family digital camera. [so under the logic of tablet-phone having a digital camera... who needs a digital one now?] [Today we all see our "memories of the 2010's" and they are disgusting and even with today's monitors impossible to see with such low resolution, but at the time it was something normal and even "enough" because those photos in a CRT monitor from the 90s that everyone had or as a luxury some LCD resolution WGA or 720 max] or printed on bond paper with an hp inkjet cartridges from the 2000s or already in 4x6" photographic paper they looked like a damn luxury.
the problem was that many people got stuck in that idea that those farting cameras were the future
to the point that you can literally go to any store or supermarket in mexico in 2022 and you will not find digital cameras. [some premium reflexes] or cheap Camcorders- GoPro like. or for children. but they don't really sell cameras.
@@CharlieRAnimaMX im from Poland and i would like to say that i have fully read your comment. We had similair situation with internet, back in 2010 i had a "premium" 10mb/s adsl internet connection up to 20mb/s in 2014 that costed unreasonalble 35$. Now i have 40$ fully unlimited LTE connection and its great as for what available right now it is mostly 100-150mb/s. Its funny that we have cheaper cellurals plan right now than half of the fiber networks. As for 2022 we have fiber in pretty mutch everywhere, even on the very remote villages so as 5G and LTE cellurar beacuse of goverment and european union plan of investment for digitalizing and connetcing all people. It's kind of shock for me when i travel abroad and i see packs of 20gb data for 20$. In 2010 i had this VGA camera which sucked as well as cheap tablet and unusable smartphone with really poor resistive touchscreen, but i'm glad we had nice medium sized electronic markets in my city which imported every high tech that you would ever like to buy - but we had also be waiting for things to slowly change. Im 👋 to you for vacations now on turkey 🇹🇷 with 500mb/s wifi AC connection. Have a nice day!

I remember around 2014 we got this really cheap tablet called the "Pendo Pad". It was basically the same as this Laser tablet. The Pendo Pad would crash, get terrifyingly hot, would eventually fall apart and the speaker was on the back. The speaker grill itself wasn't even in the right place, it was off to the side which made it cover half the speaker.
Meanwhile my 2013 Ipad Mini 2 runs as well as you'd need it to, battery still holding up insanely well to this day.
I had a Pendo pad as well BC my parents couldn't afford anything else lol, mine was as bad as yours tbh. my dad used his for maybe five years (I have no idea how) before it kept crashing on everything and he gave up and bought a laptop
oh wow, I had a Pendo too back in.. 2015-2016 I think! it lasted nearly 2 years I think, and was somehow pretty decent until the battery suddenly started losing power faster than it could charge. definitely much happier to stick with my ipad though
@@maggleworth say what you want about apple, but the iPads are terrifying at opposing tablets from opponents
I had no idea there were other people with Pendos. I received one as a free gift for an NBN plan with TPG, and it was abhorrently slow. The speaker was very thoughtfully placed right where your palm rests, and a 0.3 degree angle from looking straight on would make the screen near unrecognisable. There wasn't even a camera, although that's probably for the better. It had some sad single core Intel thing, and it currently sits in the graveyard of electronics.
@@maggleworth Same thing happened with my Pendo as well. My Ipad also takes a ridiculous time to charge, however the battery does last a great deal of time.
It’s funny when he yells TOUCH because that’s how it’s written on the box.
Thanks, you are saving my days!
:)
I was having quite a laugh at the slowness of the tablet at first, until I looked over to my cheap phone and realised it is quite literally the same 😐
What phone do you have?
Edit : mine is also Go Edition, but isn't as slow as this tablet it actually has a good processor.
Get a used one, you can pick up very nice previously high-end devices for around $99, especially less popular brands like LG, you can fairly easily find a G8 or G7 in good condition for under $99.
@@vgamesx1 the problem of those mf are the batteries tho, with a couple of years they might be destroyed. Maybe just save a little more, 200 can get you a really decent Xiaomi/realme phone
@@LeoMkII All the ones I've gotten so far had only lost roughly 10-20% capacity, could be better but it's still more than plenty to get through an entire day on 80% charge, generally batteries only go bad that quickly when people take very little care of their battery and leave it on the charger all the time and of course I wouldn't recommend everyone go do it, but swapping batteries isn't that difficult, it mostly just requires patience both to remove the back and to clean the glue off to then re-glue it.
Also, keep in mind companies like Xiaomi make very little margin on their products, meaning they have to make up for that elsewhere, so you may not mind that, but I would rather not take part in any of that.
My problem with budget phones is that they cost quite similar to old flagships but always come with comprises, often the camera first then the screen, after that specs/storage, because you'll have considerably more storage, that nice crisp screen and top-tier specs, the whole package is just all around better and you'll want to keep it for much longer, if I have to take a mild hit to battery life to get those things well then personally I think it's worth it, I've owned budget phones too and it's not as if they don't have a place, but please trust me on this, they just aren't worth it, they're fine for light users like grandma who barely touch their phone but for everyone else do yourself a favor and at least splurge for the $300-$400 range if you must have a new phone.
Same man. My 6 year old On7 Pro is always struggling but farrr better than this tablet
I can attest to the Air 2. Bought it off the shelf around 2015-2016 and it's been going strong ever since. Been through many jailbreaks (don't tell Apple) and is currently up-to-date and hasn't slowed down very much. It does have to stop and think every now and then, usually when opening apps, but it's still tolerable.
I have a air 1 currently typing on it. It’s only now becoming slow
It's not really fair comparing a 400 dollar tablet to a 100 dollar bargain bin one now is it?
@@itshugh6750 Calling it a "bargain" is a bit of a stretch really. I think DankPods was just commenting on the fact that an "old" iPad would be money better spent than e-waste tablets like that one. I reckon that extra $300 is worth it, even if only for the longevity iPads have. That Laser tablet is already out-of-date off the shelf.
@@johnnybuoy You are missing the point that the iPad was 400 dollars at purchase new, and this tables was not even a hundred dollars new in box. You can hate on Android all you want, but to my knowledge there is no 'budget' apple equivalent available as a tablet. As for the usability if this android tablet, it's crap, but that's mostly because of the cheap components used. For around 150-200 dollars there are very usable android tablets, simple because of the components used are way better then this. I get Dankpods' point tho. This shouldn't be sold as is, but comparing it to an (albeit older) device that's just higher quality and much more expensive isn't really a good comparison.
i also have a air 2 and lad, yer right, its still amazing in 2022
LOL the picture quality is like a polaroid flipbook.

Always so funny to see headphone jack on cheap tablets and phones cus it makes it so obvious that phone manifacturers just want you to buy wireless headphones so they removed headphone jack. 🤣
they cost less than a dollar if in bulk lol
Cough, Apple. No, I will never buy your overpriced de-wired dirty buds.
@@Wertyhappy27 yeah exactly. I mean i think you still kinda need to add some more components for the headphone detection circuit but it's probably still under 1$ but i am no expert so i could be wrong.
Wired vs wireless dirtybuds:
Wired:
Pros: Cheaper (depends on brand), no need to recharge, good audio.
Cons: Messy wire/tangled wire, and wire breaking that could kill one if the buds.
Wireless:
Pros: Has reasonable price for most wireless/TWS, no wires-simple, and has good audio for mostly latest wireless units (BT 4.0 or 5.0)
Cons: Need to recharge, can be a problem if losing one or both of the buds/TWS, battery issues after long term usage or causd by defects, short time for playback (less than 8 or 5 hours), etc
Wired dirtybuds still a winner over wireless, and I has both wired and wireless
@@agustinusreynaldi7101 Wireless dirtybuds win for me. I walk around a lot and need to be untethered. I always yank the wired ones out when I’m doing normal stuff.

**Me looking at my phone, thinking what's this witchcraft**
I work at a gym where we have a speaker system for music of course and we use one of these things to play Spotify, its plugged into this massive amplifier for the speakers and barely works half the time.
I got a fairly new Amazon tablet when it was on sale for $40-$50 and with some additions to make it more like android it's still going absolutely great.
Oh look, a protogen
I've had my S7+ for a year and it feels new (I spend 15 hrs/week using it). ruclips.net/user/postUgkxAxiUS5CgVC3j8FwNOHt037zhsquGQpXv I use it for reading, viewing social media, email, and playing an occasional game. Some 'computers' feel slow and antiquated after a month of use. With the S7+, speed feels as fast as it did when I bought it. Because I don't use apps that are heavy on graphics, I get a respectable 7 hours of battery life before I recharge (I juice back up when I get to 20%). While the S7+ is 3 year old technology, I see no reason to upgrade to a S9+. S7+ is a good value for 99% of what you would use a tablet for.

I’d already be to the destination before I booted up the tablet
Honestly, it functions as well as a stinkin' laser.

Man that made me super nostalgic for watching Minecraft videos late at night when I was 10, using my mobile data because my parents shut off the internet, and I'd watch stuff in 144p to conserve data, 240p if I was feeling spicy. I only had 2gb for the whole month, simpler days.
Also RUclips was way better, longer videos and we had dislikes and minimal ads.
When I was 12 I had like 500mb for a month simply because Germany💀
@@derdion Germany and only 2GB a month in 2022 - love the Telekom
@@rechtrecht Have you looked at other networks and plans?
@@rechtrecht Ich hab 12 GB und bin auch bei der Telekom. Guck mal bitte nach ob dein Tarif aktuell ist. Und selbst wenn nicht, Telekom hat vor nem Monat oder so alte Tarife angepasst. Meine Mutter hat den selben Tarif wie ich aber hatte bis vor nem Monat nur 5GB statt 12GB.
I would just download videos on Wi-Fi to later be watched offline. Much simpler than having to deal with stuff like this, and you don't have to use any mobile data.
The only use for this is actually pretty interesting: Sim racing!, We have a bunch of tools to let us display telemetry on a device to act like a Dashboard.
I'm actually kinda seriously thinking that this might be a good option if i every Shell out for my IRacing sub again.
But yea, Sits still, shows some numbers and maybe a little bit of animation. Perfect for a 50

At least save another 50 usd and get a tablet with proper lcd screen

You might as well just get an older one used and then root it if you need up to date software.
This is literally the tablets my father would buy me when I was like 10
DankPods is the guy that makes us laugh while we are waiting on a crap tablet to update youtube

I saw her last at snootyboops park and then she disappeared
Damn, Laser has gone a long way from making Apple 2/IBM clones to making cheap tablets. Interesting to see them still around.
Wait, thats THAT Laser? 1980s Laser 128 and Laser XT?
I wondered if it was the same company also.
I'm willing to bet somebody just bought the name and this has nothing to do with the original company.
@@ondrajavorik1580 I still have some 5.25 and 3.5 inch floppy disks made by Laser
"It's not in here. I've boozled you." is my favorite DankPods quote ever.
Technical progress: super expencive technological tablet now used as a board
I got a $70 CAD Proscan tablet 7ish years ago and surprisingly it's still kicking. It's obviously not good for intensive games but it can play simple games like fruit ninja, browse the internet, and watch 1080p RUclips videos perfectly fine. I'm genuinely impressed with how well it works for so long for how cheap it was. The cameras on it are dogshit tho.
tablet cameras🤢
@@sdani. truly horrifying
@@sdani. ipad cameras are pretty good
@@xxyvng6831 man iPads are always the exception.
I'm fairly certain that Apple just puts the same camera as the iPhone into the iPad.
The only time I had a bad time with an iPad camera was on an iPad 2. That was just barely over ten years ago.

Dank, call back those two missed facetime calls on the iPad 4
I love how dankpods is branching out on different tech besides only MP3 and headphones.
Best thing about these type of cheap tabs is to use them as secondary, touch screen monitor. Depending on the model, you can even rip it apart then manually connect it using a diy kit

... that name though
Thesexoffender is quivering
too be fair that was a pretty fast startup for a tablet that old, my old tablet (which is now broken) used to start up sooo slow. I always put it on and then went to do something else 😭😭
I mean, for 50 Kangaroo's, it's pretty solid.
Good old TN panels, used to be everywhere and now are only used in some gaming monitors, extremely cheap Chromebooks and this... thing
They are still used for cheap gaming monitors due to their fast response time.
Some of the top gaming monitors use TN panels for ultra fast response time. But yeah those are in a different league from e-waste like this
TN panels used to vary in quality quite greatly, the better ones were really not that bad. I'm guessing the reason we only see the junkers these days is because the decent ones probably aren't much cheaper than an IPS now that they move in the volumes they do.
