Pros:1. High resolution IPS screen – 5 star

You have to make sure you buy the new English limited edition Aurora (from Ainol’s oversea distributor : uPlay Tablet ), which has English package, warranty card, Quick Start Guide, and English language apps. Most sellers are selling the Chinese version, which has everything in Chinese. Unless you can read Chinese, the Chinese version will give you a lots of trouble. Although the seller can set the language in English, but it will switch back to Chinese whenever you reset the tablet . In addition, all manuals and most of the pre-installed apps are Chinese as well.
