Design and Built Quality

The first thing that usually jumps out at a consumers looking to purchase a item is how attractive the device is and how it feels in the hand. The Quantum 7 certainly doesn't have that wow factor at first glance because of its bland black designed, but it's definitely not an eye sore to look at like some 7" inch tablets in its price range. The build quality for the test unit that we had in the office seemed to have every port and memory card slot in place except for the USB OTG (On The Go) cable that seemed to be assembled by a blind person and looked a bit deformed but it still works like a charm.

Display

The 7" inch display on the Quantum 7 looks slightly better than most low end tablets on the market, but at a resolution of 800 x 480 this display should not be called HD (High Definition). Although the resolution is a bit on the low end it still shows 720p and 1080p videos with clarity and decent color reproduction.

Hardware and Sound

The first thing you will notice is that this tablet has no Bluetooth connectivity. So, those of you who love sharing files and photos with friends via Bluetooth will be severely hampered owning this tablet, but there is hope. The Quantum 7 is one of the few tablets I have seen that comes with a USB OTG cable in the box. A USB OTG cable allows user to connect any USB device to their tablet which simply means that the tablet can be used with USB keyboards, mouse, flash drives, hard drives, and even USB Xbox 360 controllers for games. A USB OTG cable is the greatest thing since slice bread or mobile Mother's patty dealers.  The 0.3 megapixel camera on the front of the device is the only way of capturing images and they are not of a high standard, but you will be able to recognize yourself in the photos. The speakers and sound output was the only aspect of the Quantum 7 that we were totally satisfied with. Speakers on the device were loud and offer crystal clear sound on every volume level.

Final Thoughts

Although we found things we didn't liked with the Quantum 7 the fact still remains that the retail price for this gadget is around $12,000.00 (JMD). With a price like that I can forgive the Quantum 7 for all its short comings and get one....... P.S. for the kids.
