Make no mistake: the Versus Touchpad 7's real selling point is its killer cost. But there's no such as a free lunch in this life, and so it goes with this sub Rs. 10000 tab.
The disappointment starts with its shiny plastic back - a cheap and nasty thing next to the lovely matte finish finish of its rivals. Then there's the poor construction. Oh, and did we mention the blue tinged, low-res 800x480 screen? Well, it's a headache- including letdown that seems to lack a single good viewing angle.
But surprisingly, despite these (considerable) setbacks, the Versus Touchpad 7 didn't actually do too badly at all in our tests. It'll stream an HD movie from sites problem free, download and play most games, and browse the web over Wi-Fi a slow but steady pace. It's also light and easy to hold-not always the case with budget slates and has useful mini HDMI, MicroSD and USB ports.
With its low-res screen and ropey build, we can't recommend the Touchpad 7 over Google's tab, which cost Rs.8500 more. Still, if you're feeling really strapped for cash, you will have to wait till it's launched in India. It'll do a decent enough job for a rookie.
