Storage Options Scroll Excel Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’ Internet Tablet with 3D Output and 7″ Screen

Gadget Show Rating: 4/5

~ £129 ~

For anyone after something a little bit more advanced than a smartphone and a little bit more accessible than a netbook they are stuck in a situation where they either pay a fortune for a tablet or settle with either of the former. The tablet market is inundated with a range of models that start at the very top with Apple’s iPad and drop down to poorly made plastic constructions with slow and lagging performance. Their quality may vary largely but this doesn’t stop some of even the poorest models remaining shockingly overpriced.

This makes it difficult for someone after a tablet but not wanting to re-mortgage to get one. Enter the Scroll Excel. At £129 one might argue that the scroll is a ‘budget’ tablet. Its performance begs to differ and positions it in the more aptly suited category of ‘entry level’ tablet.The Scroll was recently reviewed on The Gadget Show’s website and received  a fantastic rating of 4/5Gs!

‘Considering the price, the 7-inch screen on the Scroll Excel is a cracker. It’s bright, vibrant and clear, and we particularly enjoyed watching movies on it. Coupled with decent sound reproduction, it’s a great little media player.’ The Gadget Show

The Scroll boasts an impressive capacitive touchscreen making it more responsive and easier to handle. With this kind of feature you can’t help but wonder where there might be a sacrifice to quality elsewhere but all the boxes remained ticked.

It’s got a 1GB processor and 4GB of space which is easily expanded up to as much as 32GB using micro SD card. The Scroll runs on Android 2.3 and is perfect for internet browsing, playing games and watching videos. The Scroll is even capable of playing back 3D video when hooked up to a 3D television using HDMI cable.

Another great feature is the e-reading function. With instant access to a virtual library, enjoy the choice of thousands of books, magazines, publications, journals plus more, right at your fingertips. The 16:9 aspect ratio makes the reading experience easy and enjoyable. For a high performing ‘entry level’ model look no further than the Scroll Excel.
