My son for over a year used, the tablet is still in perfect condition. I just buy and put a protective film on the screen for a protection and buy a battery charger + batteries and everything is perfect! My son uses it to draw, play, watch cartoons, this is ideal for learning fun. There are ways to "exploit" the tablet for those who grumble that the games are expensive but the price of the games is known anyway. So used like this, with batteries + battery charger of investment, this is perfect for me and my son!
