Hi folks,
I see that Kalahari and Takealot are both selling the Proline R718DC tablet at R799. I feel this is a good price for a entry dual core tablet to be mostly used as a browsing and odd app toy.
Specs aren't high end but this is to be expected of a R799 unit. At least the warranty/support is local.
The only thing that I'm wondering about is the Google Play store. I currently have a few paid apps I would like to retrieve from the Play Store if I decide to get this unit. However, I've heard of many entry level units, especially those cheap china ones you'll find on Bid or Buy that don't come with the play store included. You can try loading the APK for it, but usually this causes problems especially if the device is not rooted.
Rooting the Proline is most likely not going to be possible anyway and I don't feel like rooting. So basically I was hoping that there's someone that can maybe shed some light on if this unit natively comes with the Google Play Store.
I know there are plenty of better units for slightly more but I like R799 price and spec wise it seem more than suitable for the needs I have in mind.
Thanks
