Unfortunately, the screen coatings are rather poor and create significant glare, color distortions and reduced contrast when you view the screen from wide angles. The screen is an IPS panel so the viewing angles should be good.
The 10.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display on the Nextbook has a relatively average resolution of just 1280×800 pixels. The image quality is fine under extremely bright indoor lighting or outdoors with sunlight, but the webcams produce grainy images with very little detail if you don’t have perfect lighting conditions. Neither of these cameras are very good and are more in line with laptop webcams from 2009 rather than 2014. You’ll find that the tablet itself includes a rear-facing 2-megapixel webcam and a front-facing VGA webcam. If someone trips over the power cord, they’ll probably break it. The only way to charge the E FUN Nextbook is to use the dedicated charger, which has a short power cord and a thin gauge of wire leading us to believe it won’t survive serious abuse during travel. Most tablets or 2-in-1 laptops are charged via the micro USB port. On that note, one of the worst design choices on the Nextbook is a dedicated jack for the power adapter. It’s common for most tablets to use microUSB ports, so if you are willing to live with that limitation then you’ll be happy with the single microUSB port, microHDMI, single headphone/microphone jack, microSD card slot, and dedicated AC power jack. You get no full-size USB port on either the tablet or the keyboard and is a deal breaker for most people looking for a laptop. Port selection on the E FUN Nextbook isn’t bad for a cheap tablet but it’s frankly laughable for a budget laptop. We suppose that E FUN simply had to use some cheaper components that were also heavier in order to deliver a 2-in-1 priced at less than $200.
We’re not completely sure where all the added weight comes from considering that there is no hard drive and no full-size ports here. On the other hand, the Nextbook is much heavier than any other 10-inch tablet or 2-in-1 that we’ve reviewed this year.
