Conclusion
No doubt aakash is the cheapest tablet available in the world but it has got lots of drawbacks which makes it not usable by tech guys who need multi tasking and high speed processor. The tablet does not have Inbuilt Camera , GPS etc. & the touchscreen of tablet is not capacitive that is we can't enjoy its screen response. The look of tablet is not impressive but according to its price its not so bad. The main thing is that it has a slow processor that can't able to run most android apps smoothly. This tablet is not for tech guys or geeks or gadgets fans but if you are a student then this is not so bad for you.
