Mecer's foray into the tablet market is a breath of fresh air. It's cost-effective and the device plays with the big boys, is super quick and a pleasure to use. For just over R2000 this device is a snug companion to add to your daily device collection. It is worth every penny and more. If you are shopping for a small tab get this, no matter your budget.
The introduction of the Xpress Smartlife Tablet shows a renewed thinking with the brand. It shows excitement and a readiness to play in the space that consumers are flocking to, those who are desperate for great deals and the better experiences that mobile devices can deliver. For me, it signals a resurgence to relevance for Mecer.
he Xpress Smartlife tablet is little, thin and light, and fits snugly in one hand for readers. There are very few buttons around the device, just your basics and the home button. As someone constantly on the move, I found this device easy to move around with. It fits nicely in my laptop sleeve without making it bulky and could easily slide into my handbag - always a plus.
The Android experience is very Google and Mecer has kept things clean and simple. Users can customise the basics such as the homepage and play around with folders for their organisational benefits. Though touted as an entry level device by Mecer, it does fulfil some established device qualities.
