All with the same text.

To answer the OP's question: I don't have an opinion I haven't tried the tablet. And the reason I haven't tried it is that it's exclusive to a store that's so obscure that that it needs to advertise through blackhat SEO.

Surprisingly, some people have patronized the store that the OP was shilling. Not surprisingly, those people are now complaining about the store's dishonesty.

You will notice in that thread that scammers from that store showed up to assert, baselessly, that they are legitimate. Just as the SEO spammer here showed up in this thread to lie about his motives.

Since this isn't a technical question, I have moved it to General.

Please note: the issue around the URL and the multiple posting has now been dealt with by Jeremy - future posters should remember that and move onto the actual question, which is "what are your thoughts on this piece of hardware?"

OK XavierP.

Its hard to know 100% for sure what model tablet you are looking at from just a pic.... I managed to figure it out in about 3 seconds, thanks to dugans links. If the OP actually wanted to discuss that tablet, then they should have put the model number up.

If the OP actually wanted to discuss the tablet, he would have started by posting the make and model in the post body. Which he still hasn't done. So we can't discuss "what are your thoughts on this piece of hardware" even if we wanted to.

His behavior is also not consistent with someone posting in earnest. Between his first two posts (made one and a half hours apart) he goes from "is this a good tablet for watching videos?" to "I can watch 1080p videos with no lag, buddy!"

And if you follow the Google links, you'll find that many of the forums that he spammed have simply removed the threads he started.

Do you really think, XavierP, that he was asking an actual question? He wasn't, and you should not be ordering people to pretend that he was.

Spammers don't fool me. I can smell a spam a mile away.

When you read between the lines of spam it really says "I hope this person clicks on my affiliate link and buys this product so I can make a commission"

There are places to endorse products like in articles directories, blogs, websites and even forums that allow that type of thing with an affiliate link in the signature.
