In all seriousness though, even though the specs are nowhere near the best, the price point ensures that you get your value for money. In terms of “you get what you paid for”, that is. Regardless, if the Breeze can perform well even with its limitations, it’s bound to be a success because of that very same price point. In a world where Tablets are still being seen as very expensive toys, this will definitely garner some attention.

We’re eagerly waiting for CES to figure out if this tablet has what it takes.
